Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gholson
“Jacqueline and Todd are wonderful pet sitters. Not only are they warm, communicative and attentive, their dogs are also equally as great! I have a senior dog who fit right in and was in excellent hands while staying there. I’ve already re-booked.”
“My dogs absolutely love Andrea! I’m almost jealous at how excited they get when they get to go to her house. Lol! If you are looking for a dog lover to love on your pup/s while out of town, Andrea is your girl! Her house is a dog party house!”
“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 ❤️”
“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”
“Our pup was def in good hands! She did a great job keeping me updated through the few days he was with her made me feel at ease. Great with communication as well and answering questions I may have had.”
“Celeste was very friendly and responsive when wanting an update on how Coco was doing. She was very thorough with questions about Coco's eating schedule, walking habits, and the little details on how she acts. She took her on walks plenty of walks. Also, can't thank her enough, she allowed me to extend Coco stay for an extra day due to my brother wanting to stay out of town longer.”

“10 out of 10 experience. Dustin sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the few days we’re on vacation. We never felt too far away or out of the loop from Roscoe(our dog). It was nice to also get a gauge prior to vacation to see how Roscoe would interact with them and their dogs as well via meet and greet! Roscoe came home bathed and even had a goodie bag. Thanks again Dustin!”
“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.”
“Brady was calm and content when I picked him up, compared to his behavior when I had him kenneled recently. I am grateful for the care he received. Lacy did a great job. I would recommend and use her services again.”
“Absolutely amazing at communicating and my dog looked like he was having a blast in all the photos I got. Booked last minute before my trip and they were a miracle find especially since im new to the area”

“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.”
“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: 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’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!
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.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets when leaving home. I have also had many different types of pets in my life time including chameleons, ferrets, and raccoons. I have trained many puppies and taken care of a few senior dogs. I currently have a 9lb dachshund named Winnie. I am a graduated nursing student who is leaving Corpus Christi on May 30th, but would love to make some friends in the meantime. When sitting, I will commit all of my time into your pet and will move any part of my schedule around them. I will gladly take them for walks in the park ans many times as they want and around my house, I don’t mind bathing or grooming if needed, and I have also trained many dogs in my lifetime. If this is not what you are looking for, I would also love to just lay around and hang out with them.
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.

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 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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Excellent care for my diabetic pup and her golden retriever brother. Very thorough and kept in contact regarding real-time weather changes, etc. Monitored cat siblings and helped with little extras as needed.”
“We were away for a week, and our cat was in great hands. Communication was excellent throughout, and we always knew how our cat was doing. Very respectful, reliable, and easy to work with. We would happily book again and highly recommend!”

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.
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.
About: We have been caring for pets since we were young, growing up in a rescue-focused families where we learned to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from Shih Tzus to Cane Corsos. Your dog will have constant companionship and supervision throughout their stay. Our weekends are completely free, so we dedicate that time to extra-long walks and play. We live in a spacious, pet-friendly home with plenty of room to roam. Our 7-year-old Weimaraner is extremely social and loves having friends over! Experienced with puppies and administering medication. We have a light summer work schedule so plenty of time for care and play. We have very free weekends. Your dog will have 24-hour supervision and constant companionship every day. We live in a very pet friendly home! 3 bedrooms and large living. We have a large field across from us and live near many walking trails
“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! ”
“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.”
“Noelle had a blast at Fuzzy Faces! She doesn't spend much time with other animals (other than backyard chickens), so we love that she gets the opportunity here to play with other friendly pets of all sizes. She definitely plans on coming back!”
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!

I am currently a stay at home mom who is available on most week days, as well as some weekends for your pet care needs. I have two medium breed sized dogs, as well as an indoor cat. All of my animals are house trained and friendly with others! They are furniture loving creatures, with access to beds and couches as they please. I feed them healthy snacks/treats including carrots, apples, or blueberries!

I am currently working as the Foster Supervisor at Williamson County Regional animal shelter. I’d love to take care of your fur baby for you! I work from home as an esthetician, so your baby won’t be left alone for more than a hour or so. We have a Airbnb style tiny home for our stays on our property! Fenced yard, no other animals or kids. We like to keep things stress free. Please let me know if you’d like to stop by beforehand!

“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 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.
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 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: With a background in professional animal care and a lifelong love for dogs, I offer dedicated, high-quality pet sitting services right here in our community. My experience goes beyond basic feeding and walks; I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and am comfortable managing everything from high-energy puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. Whether it's sticking to a strict medication schedule or ensuring your pup gets their favorite afternoon playtime, my priority is maintaining your pet's routine and happiness. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and treating every furry client like a member of my own family. I make sure they gotta atleast 4x a day and eat 2x a day unless owner has their own schedule. excercise is important to me and for the dogs so I make sure their out running around or playing fetch 1st I ask if the owner has a schedule I go by that or I make sure they eat 2x a day and outside 4x I love giving belly rubs and makeing sure their comfortable during their stay.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and neighbors trusted me with their pets as early as age 16. I continue to help friends and family by providing walks, playtime, and plenty of comfort and companionship for their pet. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and with dogs who have disabilities. Also small animals such as mice, hamsters, bunnies all the way up to Salcuta tortoise , I truly treat every pet like family and believe animals bring peace and joy to our lives. As I write this, I’m sitting for six dogs happily curled up at my feet and in my lap right where they belong. I currently work a shift schedule where I would be available after 2 pm or after 5 am. Hope to make this more of a full time job. Your welcome to contact me and I can let you know my schedule for the week. If needed I can ask off should I be needed for multiple days. In my home, I have a fenced yard that is perfect for both my dogs and my tortoise. I spoil my tortoise with delicious treats and ensure he stays warm in the winter. My dogs are like my kids; I take them for walks, give them treats, and shower them with love. When caring for a client's pet, I strictly follow their instructions. I provide treats if permitted, take them for walks as needed, and offer plenty of affection to ensure they feel loved. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment, helping them feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away.
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust with their pets because I’m calm, observant, and genuinely invested in their well-being. By trade I’m an ICU nurse, so I naturally pay close attention to routines, quirks and comfort levels, and I adjust my care to each pet’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits all approach. My goal is for you pet to feel secure, loved and happy and for you to feel confident that they’re in good hands. By trade, I’m an ICU nurse, and am currently taking some time away from the bedside to focus on something a little more peaceful, like taking care of pets. My schedule is wide open, which means I’m flexible with days and times I’m available. I used Rover when I worked 12 hour shifts in the hospital, so I know what I wanted in a dog walker for my dog. I want you to feel comfortable and carefree while you’re at work or away from home and I’m taking care of your most treasured companion. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When house sitting, I respect your home and your pet’s routine, keeping things consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, follow care instructions closely and keep a calm, predictable environment. On walks, I prioritize safe routes, proper leash handling and awareness of surroundings and weather, I like to tailor walks to your pet’s energy level and needs I communicate clearly and provide thoughtful updates (with lots of pictures!) so you can feel comfortable with how your dog is doing.
About: I’m not just a sitter—I live the pet life every day. Between my three dogs, a pig, and a few ducks, I’m used to energy, mess, and all the personality that comes with it. Big dogs, little dogs, sweet pups, stubborn ones—I’ve handled them all. I’ve got six acres for safe running and exploring, plus plenty of time for cuddles when it’s calm. I’ll keep you updated honestly, because I know how it feels to wonder what your pet’s up to. Around here, your dog’s not just watched—they’re part of the crew. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. With dogs of my own, I’m outside and active multiple times a day, so adding your pup into the mix is natural. I work flexible hours and spend most of my time at home, which means I can give plenty of attention, exercise, and check-ins without rushing Caring for pets in my home is simple. If i go outside , we all go outside. If I come inside we all come inside. We all eat breakfast snacks and dinner at the same time. This isn’t something that’s inconvenient or difficult to us. This is our life on the farm.

“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.
