“Sara is amazing! She is the best sitter for your pets. I am able to leave our cat under her care and I know that he will not only be well taken care of, but he will be so loved!! She is so great with him and I highly recommend trusting Sara with your pets.”
About: I’ve taken care of stray cats since i was a kid to give them a home. I have always pet sit for my whole family’s pets. I think relationships with animals brings so much light and joys and that’s why i’ve always made it important to give them the most love and affection in return. I graduated high school early and i have a part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your cutie pets any time. My dog is glued to me at all times in my home and she sleeps with me because I LOVE clingy pets. So i will make sure your pets won’t get separation anxiety and will give them lots of attention if they want it.
About: Ive never met a dog or cat that doesn't instantly like me and same for me too! Kindness & Respect go along way with pets. I treat them like I would want to be treated if I was an animal. Ive always been a hard worker and do my best to make others happy, human or animal. Im dependable and easy to work with. I believe communication is key in life. Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.

“Angelique is amazing!! She did an amazing job taking care of my kitty while I was gone for the holidays. So kind and caring, a really lovely warm person. Ps thank you for the Christmas card, Angelique!”
“Don’t know how we got so lucky, but April is THE best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our dogs love her, she sends very detailed updates and the funniest and cutest photos of our pups to let us know they’re okay♥️ thank you April for going above and beyond!”
“Jonai did an incredible job with my two pups! She was on time, and went over and above for the drop ins. She fed them, played with them, and I got so many cute pictures! My dogs can’t wait til Jonai comes back to play! Thanks so much!! This was my first time using Rover and it will not be the last- thanks Jonai for making this a great experience for us! You will definitely be my “go to” sitter!”
About: I have had many pets during my lifetime! My current fur baby is 9 years old. She is a very healthy, well trained chihuahua/poodle mix. Occasionally I watch my friend’s dog that is a Klee Kai. I enjoy taking them for walks and letting them play in a dog park! I am a full-time Embryologist so most of my availability is on the weekends. I am available on the weekends for dog walking or Friday-Sunday for boarding. I’m available between 4pm-8pm, Monday-Friday for dog walking. I created a loving environment for my dog in my home and I just want to extend that when I can. That environment includes having patience, going for walks, and just simply having fun!
“I requested a drop-in very last minute and Ericka was more than willing to come drop-in on my two dogs. She was prompted and very detailed throughout the drop-in. I appreciate her and her son being very patient with my Chihuahua as he’s very skittish with new people. Would definitely recommend Ericka and book with her again.”
“Elise is a wonderful pet sitter. She cared for my little black cat and did a great job! She is dependable, considerate and loving. You can tell she loves her job. She sent pictures and even a video. My cat skipped the stress of boarding and got someone to visit her, play with her and feed her. We were both happy and grateful for Elise. Highly recommended.”
“She’s the best! Definitely book with her. I have a 70 pound puppy and he’s not the best at listening sometimes and she picked him up and put him in his crate for us since he decided he wasn’t going to. 😭 Lol! An angel! We are so appreciative and so is Bubba. ☺️❤️”
About: I have spent my life surrounded by animals! When I was 5 I got my first pet, he was a chihuahua, that I was lucky to have for 15 years before he passed. Now I have two cats named Asta and Poppy that I have had for 4 years! Over the years I have developed an extensive client list that contains family, friends, coworkers, and bosses. The dogs I have taken care of range from small, medium, and large. Along with drop ins and house sitting for cats. I have experienced administering insulin shots and giving medication. House sitting, drop ins, walking, and boarding at my place are jobs I have done. I will love your animals as if they are my own and treat them with the best care I can possibly give! I would love it if you picked me for your pet care needs!! I am currently working full time 7:45-5 and understand this can be difficult schedule to work with because of potty breaks. I also have two pets of my own that I take care of. Even though they are cats and are pretty self sufficient, they still need company and stimulation! With proactive communication, I am certain we can establish a way to make our relationship work for the both of us! I have two cats at home! They are pretty self sufficient and really appreciate company. They prefer solo play but there is this string toy that they LOVE and everyday when I get home we play for as long as they are interested! I also work on the tricks I have taught them everyday. For your pets I will treat them like my own and respect their space when they need it!
“Mia took care of my 4 month old puppy and 8 year old dog. She ensured that their needs were met and went above and beyond to care for them. She communicated efficiently and made sure to update me after her visit.”
About: I fell in love with & have been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. The majority of my experience is with dogs and cats but I also have experience with caring for rabbits, cows, and horses. Our pets are our family and will be treated as such with me. I love taking and sharing pics of furbabies! I work from home and will have lots of time to spend with and care for your pet. I’m conveniently located next to Towne Lake in McKinney for peaceful walks. I have an apartment and work from home full time. I’ll be available to take pets on walks as much as needed or just for fun.
About: Do you have experience with young dogs, old dogs, dogs with special needs, dogs on medication and dogs needing lots of love and exercise. We love to play in this house and are very engaged with your pet. We have two doggy doors and 3 years experience. We are an active family and are willing to play, comfort, and make your pet feel at home. We are looking for pets that have no hostility or history of abuse but rather are comfortable with children. We have experience with all sizes of dogs up to Italian Mastif sized. It would be a blessing to help watch your furry family member. Must love long walks in the grass and running about. Lots of love and snuggles. Party of 5 We are an active, family-oriented household, and someone is home most of the time, which allows us to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. We love getting outside for walks and activities, but we're just as happy spending quiet time giving belly rubs and snuggles. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and will receive lots of love, care, and companionship while you're away. Providing a safe, loving, and low-stress environment is my top priority. For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure, board-on-board fenced backyard with locked gates and a doggy door that allows them safe access to the outdoors for potty breaks and play. Because someone is home most of the time, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. For cats, we create a calm and enriching environment with cozy spaces to relax, plenty of areas to explore, and windows where they can enjoy watching the world go by. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I take the time to follow their individual routines and comfort levels. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their established schedules and routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Whether it's feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, medications, playtime, or lots of affection, I care for every pet as though they were one of my own.

Samantha will be the only one I trust to watch my gunner moving forward. I genuinely felt she loved my boy just as much as I did and gunner must of felt it because he loved her immediately. This was my first time using anything outside of boarding and as long as she is available this will be my first option moving forward.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McKinney stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in McKinney choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in McKinney with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
