“Ashley did an incredible job taking care of Bronxy and truly helped both of us out while I was working. As a teacher and coach, my days can get really long, and knowing Bronxy was being cared for by someone dependable, kind, and attentive gave me a ton of peace of mind. She was communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure Bronxy was comfortable and happy. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and Bronxy immediately connected with her. I’m extremely grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”
About: I have worked at a veterinary hospital as a surgical assistant in the past to fulfill my passion for helping animals. I throughly enjoyed the medical aspect of working at the hospital and crave personal interactions with clients and pets. I can not remember ever having less than three pets at one time while growing up (as my family is just as passionate about animals as I am). This meant that for many years I took care of my own pets as well as neighbors. When I got older I began to volunteer at different organizations to gain animal-handling experience. Throughout college I was also a pet sitter through different programs. When I graduated I interned at a wildlife sanctuary and eventually began working where I am now. I enjoy having a positive impact on the pets and people I get the opportunity to work with. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I will be available throughout the week and weekend unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I hope to spend time with your furry friends, soon! One of my main priorities is safety when watching clients animals. I understand how crucial it is to follow boundaries put in place to maintain pet safety. From personal experience I have learned to be vigilant and aware when watching animals. I know how to read animal body language and anticipate actions. I have three cats that are full of curiosity and like to venture if doors are left open. Therefore, I make an effort to be very mindful when leaving and coming home. I also have experience with anxious or high energy pets.

About: I have a very passionate love for all animals. My love & care for animals is beyond exceptional. I've had a dog ever since I was born. I am also very active which will allow me to walk dogs more than asked. I care for my dogs and other people’s dogs like they are my own and I hope that you will be able to see that when you meet me. I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to house visits or house sitting. I only work part-time as of right now so I will give my undivided attention to your fur babies.

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.
“Angel is such a blessing. I went on vacation for 19 days and she walked my dog everyday. She's reliable and so sweet! I will definitely be using Angel again. Thanks Angel! I am so lucky to have found you!”
“Roman walked my husky (Tika) who is about 80 lbs. My dog was excited to see him whenever he came to walk the dog. I felt very safe to let Tika go with Roman for walks. He was always on time and did an excellent job! My sincere thanks to Roman. I highly recommend Roman.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over dogs and cats for friends, coworkers, and family friends.

I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing reliable, loving care to keep pets happy and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule as I have a flexible routine with plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and be reliable for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs pets may have. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I ensure fresh water is always available, clean up after pets, and maintain a safe, calm environment. I also give them attention and companionship, watch for any health or behavior changes, and respect the home by keeping everything clean and organized.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McKinney
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.

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 your McKinney. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in McKinney.

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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
