“Britney was great! Booked last second and she was very accommodating for the meet and greet and took great care of our pups while we were away! We enjoyed the short narratives and photos she sent during each visit and we will absolutely be booking again!”
“Lucy went above and beyond what I expected. My kitties were very upset I left and would hide under my bed when she showed up, but she made sure they had fresh food and water, even crawled on the floor and sent me pictures of them daily. I will definitely use her again.”
“Robin was amazing. She took such sweet care of my old lady, Juliet, a 16-year-old Havanese, and our very opinionated cat, Saylem. Robin was timely with her check-ins and communicated with updates and pictures. Robin is so sweet and kind and I will definitely be calling on her again for our future trips. Thank you Robin for the care and attention you showed to my furbabies.”
“Nicole was great with our 2 cats. One of our cats is older and has a complicated food system. She was very attentive and followed exactly what we needed her to. We loved getting the updates from her while we were away—very detailed and thorough.”
“Tori was amazing! Our dog needed to take medicine both morning and night which was a little extra! She was able to get her to take the medicine and was great with notes and pics. Would definitely book again.”
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.
“Blake did a great job taking care of our 3 cats, cleaning up after them, and sending us cute photos and videos while we were out of town. Even when we were unreachable with no cell service, Blake took care of things here. We are so glad we hired her to take care of our fur babies and will definitely be calling her again!”
“Abby was a amazing with my two pups!! This was my first time using Rover and we could not have had a better experience!! Abby even came over to meet our dogs and us before our trip! She took great pics of the dogs for us to see that they were doing great. I highly recommend Abby…we will for sure be using her again!!”
“Sabrina is an absolute angel- our english bulldog was so taken care of while we were gone. We are so thankful to have found her and have someone with such a kind heart to love on our lazy guy!”
“Sarah gave me such a peace of mind while I was out of town! She is caring, easy to get a hold of, and was able to work with my sassy dog haha. I’ll definitely be hiring again moving forward :)”
“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. ☺️❤️”
“She did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our babies. She didn’t just take care of their physical needs but cared for them and loved on them the way we would have if we were there. If you ever need someone to care for your fur babies, definitely reach out to her. We got fun photos at every visit and a sweet note explaining their adventures and activities! 5 stars and highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Melanie was so nice and took super good care of our cat! It was the first time he was being left alone but Melanie made it so easy to not worry about him and allowed us to have an enjoyable trip! Will definitely rebook in the future!”

Angelique is amazing! She had been caring for my dogs for years and every visit she loves on him like her own. Thor gets spoiled and loved and always gets excited when his best friend comes over. If you are looking for the best person ever to care for your animal , look no further! Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for her!
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.
Amelia was amazing with my two cats, Milo and Bella. She took great care of them by feeding them, cleaning the litter box, and spending time playing with them, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. One of my cats is very shy and I left specific instructions for how to handle that, and Amelia followed everything perfectly. It was clear she was attentive, patient, and truly cared about my pets. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in McKinney on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,755 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McKinney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
