Trusted in-home pet sitting in McKinney. We feed, walk, and check on your pets while you travel, with photo updates every visit.
Need a pet sitter in McKinney, TX? We care for your pets in your own home while you travel. Our drop-in visits keep them fed, active, and comfortable in the place they know best. Backyard Pet Services has cared for McKinney pets for over five years. We use a top scheduling app, so you can book visits and track every check-in with ease. Our McKinney pet sitter services earn great reviews for the detail and care we give your pets.
When you reach out about your trip, we confirm your dates and how many visits you want each day. We pay close attention to the first and last day, since those often differ. You may not need a visit on the morning you leave or the night you return.
Before your trip, a sitter comes by to meet your pet, say hello, and take notes.
Every visit lasts 20 to 30 minutes and includes:
We document every visit with photos. You’ll get sweet, funny, and everyday shots of your pet playing, getting love, or posing for the camera. Want them looking sharp too? Our pet groomer can help.
Anyone can feed a pet. Here’s what sets our care apart.
We start with a meet and greet to say hello and get your instructions. Then we visit your pets at home 2, 3, 4, or even 5 times a day. How often depends on your pet's age and energy level.
We'll come by and take your dog for a quick walk. Choose a 15-minute or 30-minute walk.
Some pets get anxious when thunder and lightning roll through. After a storm, we can add a 30-minute evening visit. We'll check on everyone and settle them before bed.
Selling your home takes a lot of work, and the dogs are often part of the stress. For a smooth showing, they need to be out of the way. We can take them off-site during the showing and bring them back safely once it's done.
When staff is available, we can stay overnight in your home with your pets. Each overnight runs 8 to 12 hours. Prefer something shorter? Ask about our 'almost overnight' options.
Most trips use a main sitter plus a backup. We try to keep the number of sitters low, but schedules don't always line up.
If you'd rather have just one sitter for your whole trip, we can do that for an added fee. That fee pays your sitter for the plans they rearrange to be there, such as:
This way, one sitter is fully committed to your dates and times.
Your sitter usually has a two-hour window to complete each visit or walk. That window lets us plan around other visits and drive time between homes. Need service at an exact time? We can do it for an added fee.
