“We’ve had a wonderful experience! Rachel is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares so much about our dog. We always feel confident knowing our pup is in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I am recently retired and have sold my house. I house/pet sit full time locally and internationally. I have owned and fostered both dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. Since I have no pets of my own anymore, I enjoy loving on the pets I sit with. Before I retired, I hired house sitters to stay with my 125 lb. mastiff/GSD. I understand how important it is to feel confident that my pet and home would be taken care of responsibly. This allows you to relax and enjoy your time away. Since I'm retired, I have time and patience to spend with seniors and puppies. I can be there to ensure everyone's routines are maintained. Cats are always fun to sit for. I know how stressful change can be for cats. I'm happy to allow for them to hide as long as they need to or offer pets until they chose to do something else. Since pets are my full-time occupation, my schedule can be flexible to ensure your pets' needs are taken care of. I will spoil them as much as you allow me to, but will always respect your guidelines. Since I will care for you pet(s) in your home, I will follow the safety guidelines you provide. I have had both friendly and reactive dogs, so will follow your guidance on how best to ensure safety on walks.
“Jamie was very communicative and dedicated to making sure Honey was well taken care of. She went out of her way to get to Honey and make sure she got a walk! Would highly recommend!”
“Ava has started regularly walking my dog Luna while I am at work during the week. She is doing a fantastic job and she has been a life saver for Luna and me since I cannot come home during the day anymore. She is communicative, flexible, and always gives detailed updates and great pictures. I can trust that Luna is in great care with Ava! Thank you!!!”
About: Hi I’m Mia — a lifelong animal lover with a degree in Animal Science and Equine. I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats and horses, and I bring that same gentle, knowledgeable touch to every pet I meet. I also served as President of the Animal Welfare & Behavior Club at Texas A&M, where I gained hands-on experience in positive reinforcement training, service-dog handling, and animal behavior. Whether it’s a playful pup or a purring kitty, I treat each one like family — with love, patience, and plenty of cuddles. I am typically available most days with a few exceptions. I’m currently working part-time and volunteering at an Equine Therapeutic Riding Center, and times I am unavailable will be noted in my booking calendar. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs, a black lab mix, a terrier mix, and a chihuahua mix to keep yours company. Or I can kennel my family dogs or yours if requested.
“Angelique was great! She came by to meet my dog beforehand which I really appreciated her wanting to do. She was available at a moments notice and followed all of the instructions. Would highly recommend as I feel comfortable having her in my home while I’m away. Will be booking again!”
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
About: We’ve had pets all our lives, both dogs and cats, and we love the furball we have at home, we have extra love to give to yours too! Any special needs or care your pet needs will be given the utmost care and attention and we’ll take care of them as if they were our own! Both Jess and I work at home and have very flexible schedules so any time of day for us works. We are more than happy to be accommodating to your schedule! Any diet needs, medication, and any other specific care is in good hands. We’ll always take your instructions to heart and keep your pet healthy, safe, and happy!
“Dustin is a perfect fit for my energetic dogs and happily takes them on their full walks around my neighborhood parks as well as providing cute pictures and comments!”
About: I’ve had many dogs in my family since I was born, have always been an animal person, and worked as a vet tech for 3 years. I have worked with many different dog breeds and have experience with a variety of personality and behavioral traits. I have both dog and cat sitting experience for neighbors, family, and friends. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule, so I’d have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I’m usually available any day of the week. I have 3 dogs at home, so I will only be able to offer dog sitting at your pups home. I will be able to take care and play with them from the comfort of their own home.
“Suzy has been the best dog walker and sitter we have had! And that is saying a lot because we have had several good ones! She is reliable and trustworthy and most importantly loves our dog! My dog waits for her by the door knowing when she will come. I fully trust that Suzy will take care of our girl like we do. I highly recommend Suzy for anyone looking for a regular dog walker or the occasional need for pet sitting.”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicole and I love animals! I've grown up with dogs my whole life. My parents' current dog is 14 years old now and we've had her since I was in the 5th grade. I love all animals and have experience pet sitting for friends throughout my college years. Now that I've moved out of my parents' house, I would love to become your fur baby's best friend! I work full-time, but have chosen my Rover hours to reflect my WFH days + free weekends. I can also work with the occasional holiday as well, upon request! Each pet is different and unique in their own way. Like humans, our pets reflect how they are treated and trained. In my experience, the best way to give these animals the best quality of life is to stimulate their minds with varying playtime, training, treats, park play (if possible) and - of course - cuddles! Additionally, I am naturally a clean freak so I do offer additional housekeeping services, such as laundry, doing dishes, dusting, and general tidying and organization. I am reliable, organized, and very detail-oriented.
About: I love all animals in general, but dogs are my top 2. I'll treat them like family and love them like my own pets. I'll take your dog on long walks, teach them new tricks, and a lot of love and kisses. It will never be a time or day when we're not engaging with each other and having fun. I am super excited for this new journey to begin with your fur baby and I can confidently say you will never have to worry about your dog in my care. I enjoy all the different personalities of pets and it’s rewarding when an animal loves seeing you when you walk in the door. I’ll spoil and love on your fur babies as much as I can while I’m visiting them. I plan my days around making sure pets get the exercise, play, and attention they need. Walks, feeding, and check-ins are built into my schedule, and I am flexible enough to adjust when a dog and/or cat needs extra time or energy. Pet care isn't just something I add on, it's something I look forward to as apart of my weekly routine. I will care for your pet as you would. We'll stick to routines, diets, and play dates as well. I am very reliable and trustworthy. Will always send updates including Facetimes, pictures, and whatever else is needed to make things easier.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up on a farm teaches you responsibility at a young age as well as love and compassion for animals. When I got married, we had an American Bulldog and a Shih Tzu. Now we only have the shihtzu at home. We also take care of our friends fur babies when they leave out of town. We have a house with a yard suitable to let your fur baby get some fresh air. We love going for family walks so we can assure you your fur baby will get plenty of exercise. Working from home gives me the flexibility to walk your fur baby anytime as needed. Your fur baby will be in the best hands with our family. We have a fenced yard and lots of walking trails around our neighborhood so we can let your fur baby out as many times as needed.
About: I have ALWAYS had a dog in my life. I have cared for small dogs, big dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. We have 3 kids (15, 9, and 7), so there is lots of love and attention that we will give to your fur baby. I promise you, we will have a ball! I am a stay home mom to 3 kids and 2 dogs (Labradoodle and Havanese). Your pet will have our full attention and my full time care. I have a large fenced yard with 2 sections to gate off in case your fur baby prefers some alone time. We also have a pool with a large, shallow swim platform for your pup to cool off, if they choose. Because of the pool, all potty breaks are supervised. My fur babies are super friendly and would love a buddy to play with. We have plenty of room to crate your baby as well. We also have a laundry room that can be used to separate your fur baby from the pack for feeding time and rest. We have tons of love to give your pet in our household!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and I have nothing but love and care for them. I house sit for friends and family who have pets and they always get my best work I currently work 4 days out of the week and go to college twice a week. I am always willing to work around my schedule to take care of your pets and will be upfront if I am available or not. When I am in a clients home I do my best to leave in the condition I came in, and if need be I like to clean up

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McKinney
Ashley is amazing! We were in town for my brother’s wedding and I hired Ashely to walk and feed my dog, Leo, while we were very busy with the festivities. She was so accommodating and flexible, and she took great care of Leo. I will definitely use Ashely again when we are back in town☺️
Britney was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Bronxy. Bronxy was being a little stinker and definitely testing, but Britney stayed calm, kind, and incredibly patient the entire time. She took extra time with her, worked to make her feel comfortable, and never made me feel like Bronxy was “too much” to handle. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and understands that some dogs just need a little extra attention and reassurance. As a dog owner, that meant a lot to me. I truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and caring with their pets.
Kei-lah and Karen are just amazing! They took on my three days last-minute and cared for Sativa like she was their own. So attentive, with lots of pictures, updates, and truly wonderful communication. An absolute 10/10 experience. I will definitely book again :) Thank you both so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in McKinney is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,226 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across McKinney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in McKinney. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in McKinney after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in McKinney. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
