Dog Boarding Axtell

“They are fantastic! My pup was well-loved and they were so patient with her! The updates made my time away from my dog much easier. I will definitely be using them again! Highly recommended!”

“Our first boarding experience was smooth for everyone! Cooper (our 7 months goldendoodle) looked so happy in all the photos and videos Dustin was sending everyday. Easy communication and clean and friendly environment! We will be back! Thank you so much!”

Petra N.

“Cheri is absolutely wonderful. Plenty of communication and photos, flexible drop off and pick up times and extremely friendly! I am completely confident and comfortable leaving our dogs with her because she truly cares for each dog and their unique needs and personality. She has tons of patience with our babies and I absolutely appreciate that. Will definitely book again!! Thanks Cheri!”

About: As a former veterinary clinic employee, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and well-being. My extensive knowledge allows me to provide personalized care tailored to your pet's unique needs. With my three lovable dogs of my own, I'm a seasoned "fur parent" who understands the importance of creating a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. 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 passion for dogs, combined with my professional experience and facilities, make me the perfect sitter for your beloved companion. I understand the importance of flexibility and reliability when it comes to pet care. 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. Whether you’re away for a few hours, a full day, or several days, I’ll make sure your pet receives the care, comfort, and companionship they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your unique needs so you can feel confident that your pet will be well cared for like part of the family. 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.

“This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover! She picked my dog up on time, sent plenty of pictures, let her play with her puppy and even helped her learn how to use the restroom outside! She was very flexible and handled all of my concerns! 10/10 will be using every time from this point on!”

Aarron N.

“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.”

Brooke C.

“Jeannette is fantastic! She is incredibly kind and patient with Ace. Her dog Theo is a sweetheart and Ace loves playing with him! Ace always comes back home very happy. It is very evident he is loved and taken care of!”

Jocelyn R.

“Fantastic sitters. Super friendly and had no issues with communications. My dog actually wasnt super excited to see me so you know then did a good job. Also had all my stuff ready for pickup and helped carry it outside in the rain. Would use again.”

Jacob S.

“Amazing sitter, My Zoey is very needy. Her and her family welcomed my baby with open arms. I received beautiful pictures daily and of her walks. Made my vacation so much easier to enjoy. Will certainly use her again.”

Atina H.

“I have never met a nicer family! Sarah welcomed our little chihuahua Piper into her home with open arms and truly treated my baby like she was her own. I did not worry once while I was traveling about my little pooch because I knew from the moment I saw Sarah’s pictures on her profile and pulled up to her beautiful home that Piper was in good hands. I will choose her again and again when I need a pet sitter! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Melissa H.

“Jessica is Lovely! Energetic! Loves dogs! Took them for walks and fetched them. They had a blast ! Will definitely book with Jessica again :)”

Heather B.

“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.

“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.”

Alecia B.

“Rebecca T. Was great!!! Flexible with a last-minute booking and so very understanding when Austin traffic made me late for pickup. My Mila adored playing with Rebecca’s animals. The photos she sent helped me not miss my fur baby as much. There is nothing Rebecca T. could have done to make me happier. Rover.com sitters are the best!”

Tammy B.

“Starlet did an amazing job! She updated me frequently and my dogs seemed to have had a great time. 100% will book again for future trips to Waco! Her home is in a lovely neighborhood as well, which is a huge bonus for me! She had a privacy fenced yard and I felt that my pups were safe with her at her house!”

Kentzie M.

“My dogs were healthy, happy, and smelled so nice when I picked them up! Nicole took good care of them and even gave them treats for the road. Next time I need to board my dogs, I will be contacting Nicole!”

Jessica M.

“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!”

“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.”

Sandi R.

“Courtney was absolutely amazing! She stepped in last minute to watch Potato, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. She treated him like one of her own, and it was clear that both she and her family gave him lots of love and attention. Potato came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone I can trust with my pup, especially on short notice. I would absolutely recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Potato!”

About: CPR Certified. I have worked with dogs for 15+ years. I am currently a professional canine behaviorist and trainer. I have been training for 4 years after attending Starmark Academy. I have worked in boarding/daycare facilities for 15 years. Luxury and plenty of attention is my specialty! I tried my hand at grooming but it wasn't my favorite. I do have different brushes for different coats so I am able to brush your pup. Hygiene is important! I have worked with hundreds of breeds of dogs along with special needs, seniors, and playful puppies as well. My days are nothing but dogs! I am home all the time. I wake up, let my dogs out, feed them, let them out again and then make sure they rest till their food digests. Then we have a 30-45 minute training session including play. They come inside and rest some more. I make pupsicles and let my dogs lick the spoon. We play some more. If there are no other dogs boarding with me, I love to take my dogs to the park, lake, or pet friendly store. It makes for excellent training, mental, and physical stimulation. We come home rest, eat, and the last few hours of the night they get their pupsicles and we go to bed. I have a fenced in backyard. If your dog can jump a 6 ft fence, I also have a 30ft and a 50ft long line to keep them on during outside time. This way they can still run around. I have 2 dogs myself and if your pup gets along with them they can play with 100% supervision from me, a certified professional trainer and behaviorist. If your dog isn't dog friendly, no problem! I do rotations with the dogs and if needed, will be walked through my house with a leash. Even if they are friendly, your dog still gets one on one time with me and time to take a break from my dogs. Your dog will always have a safe space, this is why I do require them to be kenneled in my house when I am gone or it's bedtime. It's their "bedroom," their space to decompress, and safety always comes first. For my senior dogs or dogs going through medical treatment, I do have a larger pen they can stay in if I have to leave the house to get groceries or do a private training session. I feed all dogs separately in their safe space and none of the dogs are allowed in each other's space. If you have two dogs, I do require them to be kenneled separately. They can be side by side but they must have their own kennel/crate.
