“Cannot recommend Abby enough. She was amazing and our little girl adores her. Abby is extremely Professional, so good to the pups, and a very kind person who you can be fully confident in to take care of your babies.”
“I highly recommend Ms. Jaclyn! She bonded quickly with Lula and upon my return home, Lula's usual anxiety wasn’t present. Ms. Jaclyn was kind enough to bring in a package I forgot was coming in. Ms. Jaclyn is now on my speed dial when I have to go on my trips! James S.”

“Blake was amazing! She checked in everyday while I was gone and gave me updates. She also got my cat to come out and be comfortable with her which rarely happens. She was very kind and professional, I’d definitely use her again!”
“I love when Melanie can spend time with my pups! She is so attentive to them, and they get pretty excited when she’s there! Which is a REALLY big deal for one of my girls who is afraid of most everything and everyone.”
“Kristina is a wonderful sitter. We left town without realizing we were low on cat food and she helped us sort out the situation. The kitties really like her, even our shyest guy. She is thoughtful, kind, and a great communicator. Thanks for everything!”
“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: Hi! My name is Jennifer but I go by Jenny! I have a background in pet care, with 7 years of experience volunteering at a local animal rescue, pet sitting, and dog walking for a local pet service company. I also have previous experience working as a veterinary receptionist and veterinary technician. Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies. I’m currently attending school online, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day! I have the freedom to work around your pet’s routine and accommodate their individual needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or scheduling requests.

I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to create a calm, positive, and comfortable environment for each animal in my care.

“Tiffany took great care of our pets while we were gone. She even brought in packages while we were away. Our cats were happy to see us when we came home. She is professional and she knows how to take care of our fur family. Thank you Tiffany.”
About: I have been around many different animals in my lifetime taking care of them or even rescuing them, and making sure they are loved and safe. I work a part-time job so my schedule is flexible, but I also do babysitting and teach private dance classes for kids on the side. I can easily follow directions, if written down, making sure that your pet is well taken care of the way you would take care of your own pet if you were there.
“This was our second time using Jamie's services and I am literally booking our third time now. Jamie is very consistent and communicative. That is HUGE for me. When we travel I always miss our fur kids so much...Jamie really puts my mind at ease and that allows me to enjoy my vacation. We are SO GLAD we found Jamie!!!”
“Janice did a great job looking in on my cat Max when I had to go out of town for a week. She sent daily photos of Max being brushed, being fed and the condition of the litter box. The cost was very reasonable. I will have no hesitation booking her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McKinney
We took a 3,600 mile NE road trip over Halloween week and Sarah was able to work with us with only about a week advance notice. She took great care of our pets and even let us know when they had some health symptoms. One of our cats has chronic gum issues and was pawing her face. Sarah is absolutely awesome at what she does and we highly recommend booking her if you can to take care of your fur babies. 🐱🐶
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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend Anna enough! She took amazing care of Gabby and Maui treated them with so much love, attention, and responsibility. I felt completely at ease knowing pets were in such good hands. She was very attentive, kind, and reliable, kept me updated, and genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and takes her work seriously. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Gabby and Maui! 🐾💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in McKinney is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 6,521 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McKinney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McKinney. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
