“Sarah takes such good care of Sage with their daily walks and always gives me great notes about how he does on those walks! We love Sarah and will recommend her to everyone!”

“Laurinda is THE BEST pet sitter on Rover! She is kind, communicative, and incredibly patient with my dog, Mila. She comes five days a week and has been such a huge help in caring for Mila. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter, and she will ALWAYS be my first choice! ❤️”

About: I have parented and fostered dogs for 15 years -- they bring me so much joy! I love working with Rover because I want to help families who are in search of great care for their furry family member while they are busy or away. I absolutely adore dogs and how much they are messengers of love and healing to humans in ways that people just can’t. I believe in being service to people and to animals in order to make a difference. In addition to being a foster mom for shelter dogs when time allows, I’m work as an elementary school teacher. I have been a mommy to a Beagle, Springer Spaniel and now a Boxer, Duffy, and 4-pound Chihuahua, Gizmo, who was a foster fail. Sadly, they have all passed the rainbow bridge. I have fostered and sat for many different breeds, large and small. I have worked for a professional dog walker and sitter in the past year prior to me going back to teaching full time and have experience with opening houses to retrieve dogs for walks as well as overnight sits at a client’s home. I also have experience caring for cats as well. In my spare time, I also like to get together with friends for game time, scuba dive and run. While I live in Woodway, TX I can only take overnight sits or drop in visits, at this time. I can also take in mail, water plants, and care for other smaller animals, such as a bunny, gerbil, or lizard, for no extra charge. While I’m caring for your pup, I make sure they are comfortable by giving them the space they need or spending playtime with them. Whatever your dog needs to feel at ease, I always respond in a loving, kind and confident way. My clients love it that I have a heart that cares deeply about animals -- especially dogs -- and I take the responsibility of being the caregiver of their pet very seriously because I know how much my dogs meant to me and my family. I think they also love my flexibility to do whatever it takes to make them and their fur babies comfortable about Rover’s process and services. I am a full time teacher so i am available during weekends and school breaks including parts of the summer. Depending on the need of the animal, I am also open to keeping an animal while i am at work, which is now about usually 9 hours a day. I have an outside kennel available for the backyard in that case if you would like or cats (out of kennel), birds, gerbils, etc..would be inside the house. I follow directions exactly as the client requests. I make sure that your home and pets are secure and cared for at all times, either in my home or yours. I will send you pictures as frequently as you like (usually once a day) and you are free to check in with me while you are away. I will contact you immediately if there are any issues or concerns while your furry family members are in my care!

“Sharon was great! My pup Ollie loved her, and I appreciated her communication and updates.”

About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.

“My baby boy LOVEEESSS Suzanne! She always brings him treats and goes on mile long walks that he absolutely enjoys. She is like a part of our family and we are blessed to have her.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, always opening my heart and home to rescues. Dogs hold a special place in my life, and I take pride in giving them the same love and care I would my own. Friends and family often trust me with their pets, knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for. I am very flexible and I have open availability throughout the week and weekends. Please let me know what I can do to help in any way! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, whether it’s diet, routines, or special needs, to ensure consistency and trust. Beyond that, your fur baby will enjoy a loving, safe, and healthy environment filled with attention, play, and plenty of pets.

About: I've lived in a house full of dogs for years so I feel more than qualified to handle a house full of your furry friends or a house with one. I've pet sat for friends and family so I know how important it is your dogs don't feel alone. Nowadays, even with the heat I'm a big fan of taking walks with my dogs. We're both fans of the exercise and I have a small wading pool as a treat after the walk. I normally take them early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is not at its hottest to protect their feet. I only work part time early mornings so I have a wide open afternoon schedule that is available. I'm willing to be flexible with your schedule. My normal weekly schedule has me available Mondays and Tuesdays after 1pm and Wednesday through Friday I am available after 11am. I'm all about positive reinforcement and love to play with dogs. I understand dogs can get rough and I'm not afraid of their nibbles but I do know how to distract and redirect their attention in the case of extreme rough play. I'm a big fan of treats so I do include treats during my time with dogs. As long as there is a fenced in back yard, I don't like to rely too heavily on a leash but like for the dog to feel free to roam.

“Kirsten is nothing of fantastic. I moved to Waco on 6/27 and started work on 6/29. I didn’t have a dog walker and found Kirsten on Rover - she has been a blessing. She how walks my dog 5 times a week and sometimes 2 walks a day. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs assistance with their pets. She professional, kind, reliable and accomodsting”

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.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life. From neighbors dogs to complete new dogs i have found a connection with them and have had so much joy taking care of them. I am a part time employee at In-n-Out. I usually never work long shifts so in the days i’ll go to the beach for long walks or just find ways to enjoy the sun and the outside. I have a fenced front and back yard with grass in the front as well as a white lab to keep your babies entertained and happy. I have an energetic and friendly personality no matter the house i’m in.

“Brittany was awesome!! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving our girls, but Brittany made it a great experience. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments. She even went above and beyond and brought our packages inside for us. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a couple of years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies as well as senior dogs who may be hard of hearing or losing their sight, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During visits I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I aim to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a fairly new stay at home mom so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your pets! I schedule feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and attention around my baby’s naps and feeding times, so your pets always feel safe, loved, and happy. I plan longer walks or extra play sessions during calm times, making sure both pets and family stay comfortable and cared-for throughout the week. While caring for your pets in your home, I follow the routines and instructions provided by you to ensure consistency and comfort. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, offering playtime or walks, and giving lots of attention and reassurance. I make sure your home remains safe and secure, and I always respect your space and belongings. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable, and loving presence so pets feel happy, safe, and well-cared-for while their owners are away.

About: I have been pet sitting for 5 years for my extended family and friends back at home. I volunteered at a local animal shelter for 4 years of high school, so I have experience with all kinds of pets. I grew up with a lot of animals, so I am well equipped for any job! I am a sophomore at Baylor, so I will have class in the morning. I have class from 9am-12pm on Monday through Friday, but I am available outside of those times. I will be intentional about creating a safe and loving environment for your pets. I have pets at home, and I will love your pets as my own!

About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I was destined to pursue a career as a veterinary technician. Twenty years later, I've built a rich and varied experience, dividing my time between day and emergency practices. The day practices have given me a solid foundation in routine medical procedures, from drawing blood to conducting routine check-ups. In contrast, the emergency practices have taught me to think on my feet, remaining calm and focused in the face of urgency and uncertainty. Throughout my career, I've developed a special affinity for post-operative care, taking pride in helping animals recover from surgery and return to full health. I've also learned to recognize and address anxiety in animals, using a gentle and compassionate approach to alleviate their stress. Meanwhile, I've honed my technical skills, mastering the art of medication administration and injections with precision and care. Pursuing a PhD degree offers me the privilege of a highly flexible schedule. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job, my daily routine is not bound by specific hours. I can choose to work at times that suit me (and your fur babies) best. With a sprawling, fenced-in yard as their playground, my two energetic dogs are never short on adventure. As a fellow dog lover, I'm excited to offer pet care services that cater to your pet's individual needs. Whether you'd prefer me to care for your pet at my home, surrounded by my friendly dogs, or in the comfort of their own home, I'm happy to oblige. From crate-trained companions to free-spirited friends, I've got the experience and patience to make your pet feel at ease. My dogs, with their boundless energy and affectionate nature, are the perfect playmates for your furry friend.

“Did a great job with Coco, was very patient with her. Coco was a little nervous the firstt time she met Lindsey by herself. By their second interaction coco ran out the door with excitement.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs throughout my life of all ages. I’ve had a few dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were puppies. I’ve had neighbors ask me to pet sit for them. I can bathe, feed, walk, and play with your animals! I am in Waco Texas and am available any weekend to look after your pets! I am only not available Sunday mornings because I’ll be at church! I can do most anything you ask of me. I will also do the basics: walking, feeding, keeping an eye on their health, entertaining, etc.

About: I have taken care of all types of breeds my whole life and I have experience with all different ages as well and I’m very loving towards all animals I’m currently working part time and I am in college so I’m looking to make some extra money before I start clinicals and during clinicals! I will take care of your pets in your own home by playing with them outside taking walks and giving them lots of love and attention

About: I've cared for various cats and dogs of all different breeds and sizes. Being a highly active individual previous clients can attest to the healthy positive environment I create for their pups. I also have experience with more challenging dogs like those who are rescued and have a knack for dogs feeling comfortable around me. Well my profile might look a little blank I have done house and pet sitting for years through Word of Mouth. I recently moved from out of state and created a Rover profile to gain more clients, as I am new to the state of Texas. I work early in the morning and I am off at 2, i have a couple days off during the week. So mid afternoon or evening walks/check ins with about 2 mornings a week is realistic for me I will make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my stay. I will follow the owner's instructions and keep their home clean and secure. I will also take the pets for walks as needed and give them plenty of attention and companionship. I will be respectful of their home and make sure both the pets and the property are treated with care.
