“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.”
“Jaclyn was AMAZING! I have a very sensitive pup and she really took to Jaclyn. They bonded and she kept me updated on how Daisy was doin while we were out. The sense of ease and happiness I felt was unmatched. Will ALWAYS USE JACLYN!”
“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. ☺️❤️”
“Macy took such great care of our dogs during the Memorial Day Weekend! She had our Sheepadoodle that is a little timid, climbing in her lap with each drop in! Don’t let her bargain rate skew your expectations that you are going to get subpar care. She has been one of the most caring, responsive, dog whisperers we have ever hired!”
“This is our second time working with Melanie and she was fantastic as always. She helped our cat, Jack feel less stressed while we were away. When we returned, she had grabbed our mail, left the sweetest note, Jack's room was spotless, and Jack came out to greet us as if this was just a normal day. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Angelique went and above and beyond to take care of our pup! We had a door keypad mishap and she was so helpful to troubleshoot and come back to work with the locksmith while we were out of town. She had an excellent attitude and so kind to our pup throughout her service. Will recommend her to all of our friends!!”
“Jonai is the BEST! She was available for a last minute (same day) drop in with quick last minute instructions and she exceeded beyond my asking! We have cameras in the house, so we got to see her interact with the dogs and she was absolutely amazing. Jonai is absolutely our new go-to 🫶🏽”
“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.”
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.
“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.”

I also have experience with cats because my roommate currently has too and I help her with caring for them. I have been pet sitting and walking dogs for years. I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Houston many times. I also currently work for wag so you know i have experience.

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.
“Sara offers a phenomenal service taking care of my two kitties. She’s communicative, timely and respectful of all the needs & to-dos I have. I will always use Sara as my go-to for cat care while I’m away from home & highly recommend you book with her!”
About: Ohana means family! We care for your fur baby like our own Ohana. We traveled often when we lived in Hawaii so we didn’t have any pets of our own but we often pet sit a cute chihuahua when her mommy had to work off island or over night. We had her at least 2 weeks a month overnight for a year. She was the joy of our lives. She got lots of love and attention from myself and my three kids. She had free run of the livingroom and enclosed porch. She went for 20 minute walks 2x’s per day, weather permitting, and ate 2 meals a day with snacks in between. She was always happy to stay with us. We really miss having a dog around so by us helping you give your pet love and attention, it helps to fill the little void in our hearts. We can’t wait to love your fur baby for you while you are busy. Schedule today! You won’t regret it! I work outside of the home Monday to Friday. Your pet may be home alone for up to 4 hours (I can come home at lunch to let them go potty) The complex I am in has a small dog park so that your pup can have some off leash fun. If your pet doesnt get along well with other dogs we will only go in there when no other animals are present.
“Thank you so much for taking care of Yuki! This was our first time using Rover, and we were pleased to see Yuki, who is usually anxious, be so comfortable with Louann. Thank you so much for giving Yuki such a good experience, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McKinney
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 October 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 October 2026, there are 6,649 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 .
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 , 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
- 96% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
