“Thank you Todd and Jackie for taking such wonderful care of Lucky, Peanut, and Milo while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in your kind, capable hands—especially with Milo still adjusting to his new home. Your gentle approach and attention to detail, from feeding to playtime, made all the difference. We loved the updates and photos—it was clear they felt safe, loved, and happy. We’re so grateful for the care you gave. We’d love to have you watch our furry crew again!”

“Jamelah was patient with us and our Belgium Sheppard. This was our first time using Rover with this pet. By the time we returned, she had our guard dog playing with her pet. We were thrilled. I appreciate her flexibility with each pet. She didnt require a crate, and allowed our dog to sleep on a rug by the bed. Exactly like she sleeps at home. We received pics and she responded right away to needy dog parents :). We will aways use Jamelah if she is available.”

“Jessica was absolutely great! After our meet + greet, any concerns I had were addressed and I felt at ease leaving Cheshire with Jessica. I could tell that she had a wonderful time after I picked her up, and she made a new friend, Dixie, to boot! I greatly appreciated the daily photographs she sent of Cheshire playing and being adorable. Jessica was also very understanding after getting caught in traffic and being late on pick-up. Will definitely book with Jessica in the future!”

“Dustin was wonderful. He provided several pictures and updates daily. It put our minds at ease knowing our little dog was receiving the utmost care. Our dog was very comfortable with him and his dogs. We highly recommend him.”

“Jeannette is amazing with my dog! This was maybe the third or fourth time that she dog sat my baby and she takes great care of her and Sasha loves her so much!! I always have peace of mind whenever Sasha stays with Jeannette!”

“Celeste took amazing care of our pets, Nero and Moose, while we were out of town. This was our first experience traveling and leaving our pets in someone else's care, so naturally we were a little nervous. Celeste immediately put us at ease with her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. Our travel schedule ended up being somewhat uncertain, and she was incredibly flexible and understanding throughout the entire process. She was so easygoing and accommodating, which made a stressful situation much easier for us. Knowing our pets were in good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. Nero and Moose were both well cared for, and it was clear that Celeste treated them with the same attention and affection she would if they were her own pets. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. When we visit Waco again, we will absolutely be booking with Celeste, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and high-quality pet care!”

“Our dogs had a wonderful time at Andrea's! They had access to a dog door that made it even special for my dogs who love to chase squirrels! We enjoyed her so much that I ended up booking more days with her! Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“Cheri and her son Grayson were absolutely amazing with our fur babies! They felt right at home and we could tell they were going to be taken care of.”

“I am new to having my Schnauzer borded, so I was a little apprehensive about the process. After talking to Sarah just a few minutes, she made me very comfortable and the first stay was absolutely perfect for my pup. On the second stay there was a misunderstanding on my part I filled the time to watch him wrong. When I went to drop him off and discuss the visit is when we discovered the discrepancy. I thought I was leaving him for a day and a half. But I had filled out the form just for about 8 hours. Sarah and her family had plans, and now I was in a bind because I had to spend the night in Austin. Sarah stepped up and agreed to watch him for me! I was so grateful, especially because of the reason I had to be in Austin for personal reasons. she is so caring and aware of my situation and saved the day. She also treats my pup like her own, you can tell she cares. Each time he has come home, you can tell he was well treated. She sends pictures and text through out stay keeping me updated on how he is doing. I would recommend Sarah for anyone who needs their pup well taken care of!”

David J.

“Erin and her family were amazing and took great care of my dog. She updated me daily with pictures, videos and what was happening throughout the day. Erin and her family really cared about my dog, making sure she felt loved and comfortable in a new environment. I will absolutely be using them again in the future and highly recommend them!”

Benjamin H.

“Paulette was absolutely amazing! She was so good with my pup, sent photo updates, and even gave us a Polaroid of him. We will 100% continue using Paulette in the future. Thank you again!!”

Isabelle H.

“Whitney was amazing! My pup can be a little difficult but Whitney took very good care of her. I received several updated with pictures and video! Java had a great time and I'll definitely bring her back to Whitney!”

Jessica B.

“Lacey always takes such great care of our sweet pup! He required a little extra care this time and she was amazing at keeping him well cared for and us in the loop about how he was doing.”

“My dog was instantly at ease when we arrived. Sam was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. My dog loved it so much that he wanted to go back later that night. Lol”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter who is new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also have experience administering medications and am comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care routines. My husband and I live on a farm with our 4-year-old female Standard Poodle, Maggie. She is friendly, well trained, and enjoys having other dogs around. Although our yard is not fenced, all dogs are closely supervised outdoors and taken on multiple leashed walks each day. Our property offers plenty of space for safe walks, exploring, and sniffing. I recently completed my PhD at Baylor University and bring responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability to everything I do. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will treat your dog like part of our family while keeping you updated throughout their stay. I have cared for pets for friends, family, and others since high school, with more regular pet-sitting experience in recent years. Please note that dogs staying in our home must be comfortable using stairs. I work from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, companionship, feeding, medication, and plenty of attention. I already follow a consistent routine with my Standard Poodle, Maggie, including multiple leashed walks each day. Because we live on a farm, visiting dogs also have plenty of opportunities to walk, explore, and sniff while remaining safely supervised. I live in a cozy studio apartment above the garage on our farm, so the indoor space is modest, but dogs have plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time, walks, and exploring around the property. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Britney watched my 2 schnauzer puppies for 5 days. She offered a meet and greet beforehand which was a kind gesture. My puppies were not yet completely potty trained so I knew they would be a handful. I was a little nervous but she reassured me that they would be fine. She communicated with me daily. Ioriginally booked a late pickup but Our flight was late so I wasn't able to pick that evening. Britney kindly agreed to pick up the next morning. I won't hesitate to use her again.”

My home dog park, where dogs can socialize, exercise, and play off-leash, is a unique feature that sets me apart from other sitters. Here, your furry friend will enjoy the freedom of playing with friends while you're away, knowing they're in good hands.

My schedule allows me to accommodate a range of pet care needs, from daily visits to overnight or multi-day stays. I can visit your furry friend during the day, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while also providing peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. We are a family-based boarding home, so your pet will receive plenty of love and attention throughout their stay. My husband works from home, which allows for extra supervision and care during the day, and my daughter also has experience with pet care and pet sitting. Together, we create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in our care.

Welcome to my home, where your furry friend will receive the ultimate pampering experience! You're welcome to bring their own bed to sleep in, or they can choose from one of my beds. But it's not just about sleeping - my in-home dog park is the real showstopper! This spacious yard is designed for pets to run wild, play fetch, and make new friends. And for those who love water, they can splash around in my inground pool. The yard is fully fenced and secure, so you can rest assured that your pet will be safe and happy. My home is a haven for pets, and I'm confident that they'll feel right at home.

About: I don’t just pet‑sit — I love on your animals like they’re part of my own little pack. From belly rubs to long walks and cozy snuggles, your fur babies get all the care, attention, and heart they deserve. Kittens/Puppies/Elder/Special Needs Animals Morning: I start the day with your cat — breakfast, fresh water, gentle snuggles, and a little playtime to ease into the day. I check in on their mood, energy level, and any special needs so the rest of the day stays centered around them. Midday: I’m home for the most of the day, keeping your cat company, offering enrichment, supervising any outdoor time they enjoy, and maintaining their routine. If your cat is comfortable and settled, I may step out for essential errands, always making sure their needs are fully met before I leave and right when I return. Afternoon: More focused attention — play sessions, quiet companionship, grooming if they enjoy it, or simply being nearby so they feel safe and supported. Their comfort guides the pace of the day. Evening: Dinner, cozy wind‑down time, and extra affection. I stay home to ensure they feel secure, relaxed, and cared for as they settle in for the night. A day in my care is all about your cat — snuggles when they want closeness, playful moments to spark joy, supervised outdoor time for safe exploring, gentle walks or calming car rides if they enjoy them, and a routine built entirely around their needs. Whether they’re nursing, growing, aging, or require special attention, I make sure every moment feels comforting, enriching, and full of love.

“Nicole was very nice and my dog tucker was happy and healthy. I had some trouble coming back on time during the pickup time. She was very understanding and offered another night stay with her.”

“Dena did a great job with my Pepper! I live 3.4 miles from her and Pepper fell asleep on the way home. She sent me a couple pics and updates and she only had her for the day! Will definitely use her again!”
