“Jacqueline and Todd are fantastic! They sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, and we're very gracious when we requested a longer time than what was originally agreed upon. Will certainly board with them again!”
“Jessica did an amazing job without boy Archie. She sent plenty of pics and kept us updated on him you could tell he got a lot of love. Will hopefully be using her again soon.”
“My dogs loved their stay with Andrea! She is lovely and so is her family. They had a great time playing outside and relaxing indoors. She sent me photos throughout their stay as well, which I really appreciated.”
“Rebecca was AWESOME!! It was the first time ever our dog has ever stayed away from us.. she made sure to ask about her so she knew EVERYTHING about Remi.. we got updates with pictures about Remi through our days away! She is awesome and Remi will be staying with her again if she is available ❤️”
“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!”
“Cheri was excellent! She helped me out big time with a last minute overnight stay, and lilah loved her time there. You know you have the right sitter when your dog can't wait to get in the door when you are dropping them off”
“Dustin took good care of my dogs. Dustin was patient with my shy girl. His dogs were fun playmates. Plenty of room to run. Safe, fenced backyard. Dustin supervised them while they were outside with the pool. He was responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. We will have him sit Luna and Nova again.”
“Our other sitter canceled on us last minute and luckily Jessica responded to us right away even though it was so last minute on a holiday weekend. Her whole family was so sweet with our Roxy and we instantly felt at ease when we dropped her off. Highly recommend 👍”
“We had the best experience with Paulette! She sent regular photos and updates, bought our dog a cute bandana and even gave us a thank you gift with a handwritten thank you note. Can't recommend enough.”
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.
“I could not have found a better sitter for Cleo. She was very good with my baby girl, and sent me pictures daily to let me know how well she was doing. I will definitely be using Starlet again. Thank you Starlet♥️”
“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.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it was AMAZING. Many thanks to Sarah V. BE-G was so well-cared for; she returned happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the fun she had. BE-G is already looking forward to her next stay. 😊”
“Whitney and family are great! They will make your pet feel nice and at home. She even has cats that will be nice to your pooch. I have been wanting mine to have a positive cat experience and hers delivered.”
“My very active spoiled puppies had a wonderful visit at Lacey's! I have only left them once before and was worried that they would be too much trouble but Lacey handled them better than I could have hoped!”
“Bethany kept our GSP for a full week while we were on vacation. I can’t say enough good things about her. Gunner played in a kiddie pool and sprinkler, went on walks and took naps on the couch. In the many pictures she sent, it looked like he was just part of the family. So thankful to have found Bethany! We highly recommend her!”

“Laurinda has been amazing taking care of my precious kitty. She is so gentle with animals and really takes time to show them care and affection, which being from a family of animals lovers that treat them like children, means everything to me. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that ever needed an animal cared for. Book with Laurinda! You won’t regret it!”
“Kaitlyn did such a great job, helping us with our pets this weekend. We have two dogs and three cats, and she took very good care of all of them. She was very attentive and communicative when she was over at our house caring for animals. I would highly recommend her!”
“Madison did a great job! Our cats are shy and because she stayed at the house they got more comfortable with her. She fed fish and misted the snake cage, too. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting for a couple of years and have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I understand that every cat has their own routine and comfort level, so I make sure to follow their schedule for feeding, litter box care, playtime, and snuggles. I’m comfortable caring for shy or senior cats and always provide a calm, safe, and loving environment. My goal is to give your feline friend the attention and care they need so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been a proud member of the cat distribution system for over half my life. I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and genuinely cannot imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities- from energetic kittens to sleepy seniors, from the solitary ‘love me from a distance’ cats to those who believe personal space is a myth. I’ve also raised rescue kittens from just two weeks old, which included bottle feedings, monitoring weight, and gradually introducing them to food and water as they grew. Alongside caring for my own cats, I’ve spent years pet sitting for others through check-ins and overnight stays. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining routines, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior changes, and making sure cats feel calm, safe, and cared while they wait for their people to return home. My cats are like my children, and when I’m away, I want to know they’re being loved and cared for- my promise is to treat your cats with that same level of attentiveness, patience, and affection. I fully understand that every cat is different- some social butterflies want playtime and snuggles, while other sleepy, shy little guys prefer slow blinks and quiet company. And of course, almost every cat has their chaotic, quirky moments when the zoomies hit at full speed. The variety of feline personalities and the unique social bonds they form is something I’ve always deeply loved, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat for who they are. I’m excited to meet your family feline!
“Kim was amazing. I had no worries about my cats at all knowing that they were in such great hands. So easy to communicate with, and she updated me daily with a photo and a report. If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, look no further. I will definitely be using Kim again in the future!”
“Again, another GREAT job by Britteny! Britteny has been a great sitter for our doodles. They love her! She is dependable, responsible.... and we are very grateful to her for watching our dogs and we don't worry about them when she is taking care of them.”
About: I have a year of hands-on experience caring for dogs as a volunteer at the humane society. I am Fear Free certified and have received extensive training in handling and working with dogs to ensure their well-being and comfort. I prioritize their well-being by dedicating time each day to ensure they are happy, entertained, and have all their necessities met. My flexible evening schedule allows me to accommodate their needs, even with last-minute changes. As a passionate pet lover, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and attention to your beloved pets. Trust me to treat them as if they were my own, ensuring their happiness, health, and well-being every step of the way.
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs
About: I've grown up with at least one cat in the house and have even adopted my own. The cat I grew up with had a mildly spicy personality but I was able to handle him, treat him well, and build a good relationship with him. My own cat, who is now 10 years old, is a cuddler and loves attention. Any cat I come in contact with immediately gets love from me in anyway they accept and I will respect their boundaries if they need their independence.
“Whitney did a great job. I looked forward to the pictures of Lila everyday. I highly recommend Whitney for any sitter job. She went above and beyond having to deal with the pads. I was concerned about my very shy Lila. Apparently she and Lila worked things out. Thank you again Whitney and thank you Rover.”
“Very polite young lady. My cats are cautiously fearful of new and unfamiliar places. If a time arises that I need a sitter, I will consider Kiana in hopes that the familiarity will make for a calmer experience.”

“Jacquie and Todd were incredibly kind and accommodating with a family emergency. I trusted them with my precious baby and they did not disappoint me in anyway. They took wonderful care of her for many many hours every single day and were very flexible with my drop off and pick up times. My dog and I were staying in a hotel. She came home tired and happy every single day after her time with them. I really really appreciate everything they did for us.”
“I highly recommend Jeannette! She was awesome with my pups, super prompt correspondence, sent pics, and just overall fantastic service! Thank you Jeannette for taking such great care of Sha and Louis!”
“Matisse had a blast; he made new friends; and bonded with his caretaker. Cheri took the time to send me several pictures throughout the day of Matisse's stay, capturing the joy on his face in every one (warms my heart). Cheri was also very accommodating, graciously keeping Matisse an extra hour beyond his scheduled pick up time. It is a very safe, warm environment for any animal, and we'll be back for another stay very soon. Thank you!!!! ??????”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my love for the Lord and my lifelong love of animals! I have cared for pets of all ages and personalities and currently have a sweet Pit-Lab mix who loves making new friends and playing. I take him on daily walks and enjoy exploring nearby parks and trails, giving pets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. We have experience giving oral medications and can care for active or senior pets. We provide a loving, stress-free environment, follow routines closely, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your fur baby is happy and safe. Thank you for the opportunity and to care for your pet while you’re away, they will be in great care! I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive constant love, attention, and care. Morning and evening walks are part of the routine, and if your furry friend needs to run and burn energy, trips to a nearby trail can be included for exercise and fun. There is a securely fenced yard where your dog can safely play and enjoy time in the sun, and my dog, Siffre, provides companionship and socialization. Crating can be accommodated if needed, and all playtime is supervised to ensure safety. When visiting public parks, dog parks, or trails, pets are kept leashed and closely monitored at all times. Plenty of love, attention, and mental stimulation are provided, and any special routines or instructions can be followed to help your pet feel comfortable and at home.
“Rebecca and her family did a great job taking care of my Dot for the day so I could enjoy the bathhouse! My Dottie came back to me work out- a sign that she had a blast. Thank you Rebecca.”
“Dustin was more than accommodating and responsive when booking day care. His house and yard are very well suited for dogs. Murphy seemed to have enjoyed all the doggy and human interaction while we enjoyed the Waco area.”

“Abbi is so intentional and caring with our dog! It has been a while since we tried a dog sitter because we needed someone who would understand our dog’s anxious tendencies and respond to her cues. I feel SO at peace leaving Ivy with Abbi!! :)”
About: Long time dog lovers adopted by a pregnant stray cat shortly before our precious senior Brittanys passed. Our pet love has grown! 💜 I do miss the dog walks and silliness, and would be happy to share that again. I have a flexible schedule, and while our cats are mostly pretty chill, we have a separate space they can go if things feel tricky. At present I am a stay at home mom to one elementary aged child so my hours are flexible throughout the week. My husband frequently works from home and we are a pretty low key family of introverts. We have a large fenced yard for play and love to take walks on leashes. Our home is pet friendly and cozy. We have two cats who have their own space they can retreat to when needed. Our son is in kindergarten and has been around pets since birth.

“Jessica was great with Moose! She sent me photos while I was gone and kept me updated throughout the entire time. Her puppy played so well with Moose. They had the best time together.”
“My dog, Danji got a great care from his family. He sent the video of walking with her and throwing a ball for her. I can trust them, and will let him to take care of her again. Thank you so much, especially during this Thanksgiving break.”
“I found Courtney via Rover and needed her services within a few days. She was very gracious and set up a meet & greet to see how my dog would get along with hers, and then took on the task of taking care of my furbaby the very next day! She always updates with pictures, so that I will have zero worries about how things are going. Her house has a nice size yard and she takes my dog, Ellie, on several walks throughout the day. Ellie is always really worn out when I get her home which is a feat on its own! I will be continuing to use Courtney's services. Highly recommend! ”
About: I grew up on a farm so we had all sorts of animals, big and small. We were in 4H as well as had multiple pets throughout childhood. I love all animals and know how important it is for the owners to feel that their babies are safe and well cared for. I create my own schedule so I'm available for drop ins during the week as well as weekends. Daily feedings or over nights are easy to accommodate. I have a fenced yard and a young large mixed breed who loves to play. We have plenty of room inside and outside the house.
About: Hello! My name is Yazmin and I’ve loved all 4-legged creatures since I could walk on my own two. Ever since I was little I have been surrounded by animals. From horses and goats on grandma’s farm to parakeets and dogs in my own backyard. I currently have 2 furry friends, one siberian husky who loves a dramatic flare and one yorkshire terrier who, although smaller, is just as mischevious. These pooches are family so I can only make sure that they are well taken care of when I’m gone, which is what all fur parents want, expect and deserve. I hope to provide that same love and care for your own furry friends. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes but am currently limited to only caring for dogs that are 20 lbs max. I have experience with puppies as well so no pup left behind! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you and I hope you and your pooches have a paw-some day! 🐾 Although I work full time, I dedicate as much time as I can to my own pups and you can expect for me to do the same with yours. However, I am available full time for boarding most holidays and summers so your furry friends can be taken care of no matter the event. I live in a large home with lots of yard space to walk your pup! I have two dogs, one outdoor who has his own fenced in area and one indoor who has just as much love as I to give. If need be, I can accommodate the indoor space so that your pooch may remain separate from my indoor dog. Your dog deserves to feel welcome, safe and protected so please feel free to express any concerns you may have. Crate and bed must be provided but fear not, more than enough space is available to accommodate your pup!
“Whitney took great care of Foster. Her household of people and pets were welcoming and Foster ran with the pack. He's tired and smiling! I would bring him here again and highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I love all dogs, every shape size and personality. I have over 20 years experience taking care dogs cats and even farm animals. I would be very happy to help walk, feed and play with your animal. I specialize in caring for dogs with special needs such as epilepsy. I do work from home so my schedule is very open for feedings, walks, and play time. I am the proud "parent" of an 18 year old Long Haired dachshund mix who suffers from epilepsy so I know all the ins and outs of caring for a sick pup. I am also the mother two tow very energetic Aussie doodles. If your dog needs a little extra TLC I might be the girl to help. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I work from home and my schedule is flexible! I am an early riser and love walking. Taking care of dogs would only bring more joy to my day. I understand how stressful it can be for our animals when their owners are away. I am very patient with animals during this time as I know it can be overwhelming to have someone new taking care of them. I love to tailor the animals care to each specific animal based on their needs, emotional and physical.
“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!”
“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 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. 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.
About: I am a former full time Vet Tech. I graduated from tech school in May of 2020. I have personal and professional experience for over 4 years. I love animals and will treat your fur babies just like my own! I have experience caring for puppies/kittens as well as senior pets. I currently not working full time so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. Please contact me and I’m sure we can make it work if necessary! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat at my home who love to play and have fun! I also have a large fenced yard and a great neighborhood for long walks!
About: With a lifetime of dedicated experience, I offer professional, reliable care for dogs and cats. My philosophy centers on prioritizing your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as my own. I maintain a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, including strict adherence to dietary needs and medication administration. My last 3 dogs lived to be 18 or more years old. I even had a Westin that had Addison Disease. I was told she would not live more than a couple of years, but with daily medication and lots of extra care, she lived to be 19 years old. Whether I am walking your dog or providing transportation, I remain vigilant for any signs of distress. I am trained in First Aid and CPR, and I always keep emergency plans ready to ensure your peace of mind. I find great joy in discovering each pet's unique personality and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment. My responsible and empathetic approach ensures your companions are in excellent hands. I look forward to meeting your furry, feathered, or hoofed family members and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. NOTE: For animal sitting at your home, I will need the flexibility to tend to my own pets and my elderly mother at my home. They will be short visits and I can then return to your home. Im currently in between jobs and available any hours. Once I find a position to close out my career, ill still be available outside of my work schedule. I am open to caring for your pet in my home, depending on type and size. I also have experience with dogs that require medication.
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’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.

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 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!
About: I’ve grown up with a small dog for 12 years and taken care of family and friend’s dog. I can walk, bathe, feed, relax, and play with them! I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can make myself free after work to take care of your fur babies as well! I have a large fenced backyard and live in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. I am a type A person and will always have an eye on them especially if outside during the heat. I have no children and no pets so your pup will have my heart the entire time 💜
About: I consider myself a "mother of nature," because no matter what what kind of animal it is I am a natural at nurturing everything from fur-babies to feathered friends. I grew up with dogs, and I've always helped my disabled mom with her 4, now senior, dogs (two pitties, a rat terrier, and a chiweenie.) I love taking them on nature walks, and I even cook chicken or ground beef and rice for them, and use holistic remedies to keep them in top shape for their ages (15+). Animal rescue also comes naturally, because I feel humans are meant to be the keepers of the earth. Every night I feed a colony of stray cats and their neighbors (raccoons, opossums, and ducks.) 😁💖 It's a joy to me to help and have fun with cats and dogs, because I love animals. That's why I'm your fur-baby's favorite auntie! If you feel like I would be a great fit for your pet, let me know when you need me to be available. I'm an entrepreneur, so I can make exceptions and be flexible with scheduling. Currently, I don't have any pets in my household, besides two cats that I allow in for feeding and sometimes sleeping at night or when the weather is bad. They usually prefers to be outside. I take my disabled mom's dogs out every evening, so it's like I have 3 dogs. Although, they don't live with me.

“Jacqueline and Todd are fantastic! They sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, and we're very gracious when we requested a longer time than what was originally agreed upon. Will certainly board with them again!”
“Jessica did an amazing job without boy Archie. She sent plenty of pics and kept us updated on him you could tell he got a lot of love. Will hopefully be using her again soon.”
“My dogs loved their stay with Andrea! She is lovely and so is her family. They had a great time playing outside and relaxing indoors. She sent me photos throughout their stay as well, which I really appreciated.”
“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!”
“Dustin took good care of my dogs. Dustin was patient with my shy girl. His dogs were fun playmates. Plenty of room to run. Safe, fenced backyard. Dustin supervised them while they were outside with the pool. He was responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. We will have him sit Luna and Nova again.”
“Our other sitter canceled on us last minute and luckily Jessica responded to us right away even though it was so last minute on a holiday weekend. Her whole family was so sweet with our Roxy and we instantly felt at ease when we dropped her off. Highly recommend 👍”
“I could not have found a better sitter for Cleo. She was very good with my baby girl, and sent me pictures daily to let me know how well she was doing. I will definitely be using Starlet again. Thank you Starlet♥️”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it was AMAZING. Many thanks to Sarah V. BE-G was so well-cared for; she returned happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the fun she had. BE-G is already looking forward to her next stay. 😊”
“Whitney and family are great! They will make your pet feel nice and at home. She even has cats that will be nice to your pooch. I have been wanting mine to have a positive cat experience and hers delivered.”
“My very active spoiled puppies had a wonderful visit at Lacey's! I have only left them once before and was worried that they would be too much trouble but Lacey handled them better than I could have hoped!”
“Bethany kept our GSP for a full week while we were on vacation. I can’t say enough good things about her. Gunner played in a kiddie pool and sprinkler, went on walks and took naps on the couch. In the many pictures she sent, it looked like he was just part of the family. So thankful to have found Bethany! We highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Cynthia and her family kept Maggie and Benny for three nights, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the beginning until I picked them up, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear they truly enjoy caring for dogs. Maggie and Benny were happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved while they were there. Knowing they were in a safe, attentive, and family-centered home gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Cynthia and her family with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, dependable dog care.”

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.
