Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lorena
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lorena
“Jessica took great care of our puppy that had just been spayed. She gave her medication, made sure she kept it easy with her cone on, and was flexible when our flight was delayed on the way back! We loved all the updates and pictures :)”
“Jaqueline and Todd were excellent. You can tell they truly love dogs and are genuinely interested in what they are doing. Very professional, very personal and absolutely went above and beyond the call. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Waco area!”
“Jessica was so awesome! Maggie loved their big backyard and their family. I appreciated the fast communication and the pictures she shared while I was gone. It gave me peace of mind!”
“We couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care Stormy received while we were out of town for a family emergency. This was our first time ever leaving her, so naturally we were nervous, but our worries quickly disappeared thanks to the constant communication and care provided. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which meant so much to us and gave us peace of mind knowing Stormy was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear that she was treated with love and attention just like she was part of the family. We highly recommend Andrea’s services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Stormy girl during a stressful time for our family!”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing with our 6 month old puppy, Bear. She sent videos and pictures everyday during our week-long boarding, giving us such a peace of mind. We will be using her anytime we go out of town, highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Walker had the best time with Lacey V. and her family! I enjoyed seeing all the photos and getting the updates on how Walker was doing on his first stay with Lacey. I will definitely rebook and would recommend this sitter to anyone who has a pup and would prefer an in-home boarding environment!”
“If I could give Dorothy 10 stars out of 5 I would. She was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs she sent pictures daily, multiple times a day. My dogs definitely were so comfortable they made themselves right at home. There were no issues or any concerns. My pups stayed for over a week and continued to eat and play with the rest of their furry friends. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone who has a friendly pup.”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for Sarah and David! They took care of Oaklee for the weekend while I was out of town. I received daily photos and updates. When I picked Oaklee up, I could tell she enjoyed her stay. I totally recommend Sarah for anyone searching for a sitter in the Waco area!!”
“Rebecca was very prompt in responding to my questions. This was my first time using Rover, and she made me feel at ease about dropping our fur baby off. Rebecca and Brady were accommodating for a last minute booking (even making time to meet before the drop-off) and even her sleeping arrangements! I cannot say enough about this experience. I highly Recommend using Rebecca and Brady! I will be booking them again in the future!”
“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.”
“Lucy’s stay with Tony could not have been better.We met in the park before her stay so it gave me confidence and assurance that we were a pretty good fit.He was good to send pictures and updates on how she was doing and even worked with her leash walking.Enjoyed meeting Tony and will definitely be calling for him again. Thank you Tony!”
“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: 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!
“Sweet and enthusiastic sitter. Whole family loves dogs. They take great care of our girls. Luna and Nova had lots of fetch and snuggles. I was able to relax on our trip because I knew my dogs were taken care of.”

Cat caregivers near you - Lorena
“The sitter took time during the meet and greet to ask good questions about what to do in something went wrong such as an illness and where everything was that she would need. The visits went as expected with nothing happening and cats taken care of. Not much more you can ask, when there is nothing to note it means it went well. She posted a check in each day with good pictures and updates which gave us a peace of mind everything was okay back home.”
“Sara was amazing! She was extremely reliable and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my cat alone with a sitter for the first time. She spent quality time with my cat and played with him everyday.”
“Cash and Waylon had their first time with a sitter and thanks to Max it was great. Max always responded promptly and showed up as expected. We will definitely use Max again.”
“Kristy is the BEST! She is amazing with my 15.5 year old cat, Luna. My older cat doesn’t like many people-but she loves Kristy! We will ALWAYS ask her first, to watch our beloved Luna, when we need a cat sitter. We get regular daily photos and updates. She communicates with me! Kristy is an amazing sitter”
“Michaela was great! She was easy to communicate, came within the time window I gave her and stayed for the entire hour! I would recommend her and will be rebooking with her for my future pet sitting needs!”
“Brittany was a lifesaver for me last week! I messaged last minute needing a drop-in sitter for my cat while I was going to be out of town. She responded almost immediately and was extremely communicative, providing photos, and lots of love to Rodger while I was away. She filled up food, water and made sure he had all his needs met. He was a happy boy upon my return and I am so grateful!”
“Erica is the best sitter for our furbabies. She cares about them like her own. I love all the updates and pictures also very good at communicating about what my babies are doing! She is amazing.”
“The absolute best as always! Takes incredible care of pets, follows instructions to a T, and always keeps me updated on what my cats are doing and how they’re faring. I know they’re in good hands every time I travel!”

Whether I’m caring for them at your home or mine, I strive to create a calm and secure environment tailored to their unique needs. I meticulously follow your instructions, maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, and ensure that your cat receives ample supervision, exercise, and affection.

About: With a lifetime of dedicated experience, I offer professional, reliable care for dogs and cats. My belief 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, which I have personal experience with one of my previous dogs. My last 3 dogs lived to be 18 or more years old. I even had a Westie that had Addisons 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 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.
“Leaving my dogs is always tough for me because I worry so much, but Angela was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment I met her, I could tell she was caring, attentive, and truly loves animals. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and sent me the best photo updates throughout the day. The extra time spent throwing the ball and playing in the yard meant the world to us. It made being away so much easier knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lorena
“Our dog was there for the first time today (besides the preliminary meet and greet) and we are very happy with the overall outcome of the day. Jackie and Todd are both wonderful energetic dog people who clearly understand dog behavior and are loving to all fur babies under their care, and they have the space for the dogs to really roam and play without any concern for their safety. We completely recommend them to anyone who wants their dogs to be treated like family and not just another customer. Thanks guys, we will see you again soon!”
“Lou always has a blast when he goes to Dustin’s and gets so excited upon arrival. I always know he loves someone by the way he gives hugs, and he definitely gives Dustin big hugs. Thank you for caring for my baby!”
“Andrea has taken great care of our fur baby! She’s incredibly sweet with the dogs and makes sure they’re all taken care of. She also sent us periodic updates with great pictures and videos. 100% will continue booking with Andrea for all of our doggy care needs!”
“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: 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.

“Jeannette did an amazing job with our puppy! We were a little hesitant to leave our puppy with a sitter because he is only 3 months but Jeannette made us feel super comfortable and sent us a lot of pictures!! She was flexible and we would 10/10 recommend her!”
“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: 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: Hey there! My name is Gabby and live out in McGregor Tx. Just down the highway from Woodway. My daycare services are perfect for dogs that are not great in a large dog setting and need more personal one to one setting in which they can relax and enjoy their day away from their owners without all the pressure and stress of a multi dog play setting. I have a private backyard with access to long country walks and private walking trails. You can expect your dog to receive a lunch, walk, play time and tons of cuddles upon every stay. Boarders recieve Breakfast and Dinner (owner provided) as well as a snack. I offer regular dog walks and drop ins for the dogs unable to come over personally or who may not be the best in a group. Doggy walks will always be a minimum mile (unless specified otherwise by the owner) and Drop-ins will include poop cleanups, play time and light housework if desired. I can also offer some quick obedience lessons if desired which just includes the basic doggy mind push-ups, sit, down, stay, come repeated a few times. I use positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. Please let me know if your dog has any medical requirements, a special diet or any allergies. I'm able to administer any medications as needed. Also am able to do basic grooming (nails, bathing, genital area clean up, matts). As well as light housework (dishes, laundry, ect.) I'm currently a full time pet mama so my days are spent caring for my own little flock of animals. I currently have my own dog I've trained to be a successful hunting dog as well as fancy chickens that live in the coop in the back. I also have a wide variety of tanked pets including a Leopard Gecko, Texas Rat Snake, Hamster and Betta fish so exotic pet care is also something I can provide for any herp and aquarium owners out there thinking about how they could manage a vacation. I wake up around 5am everyday to walk my Terrier cross and let him stretch his legs first thing. We walk at least a mile before I come home and check on my Chickens, Leopard Gecko, Hamster and Snake. I feed and clean water dishes. Then go and clean the fish tank and use the water to water the garden.
“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!! :)”

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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Lorena
“Sara is amazing! She was great handling all my puppy’s energy and spending time with him while I’m busy with classes and work. He loved having her come over and going on walks during lunch. She is very reliable and always sends updates with lots of pictures so you never miss a moment with your pet!”
“Lacey was great with all three of our dogs. We have one dog that's 100 lb, one that is 65 lb, and one that is 13 lb. She handled everyone really well, took the big dogs on a walk separately and the little one by herself so she didn't have to try to keep up with the two big ones. Was really flexible coming to meet the dogs the night before too, and we really appreciated all her help!!! Thank you for everything!”
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.
“Another great sit and walking sessions with Erica! We always feel our 3 dogs are in great care with Erica and can tell from the photos that they are excited to see her and enjoy the time well spent while we are away. Great to have a reliable sitter and someone we can trust to care for our dogs.”

About: Hi! I’m Camryn, an upcoming senior at Baylor University studying Environmental Studies. I had my own pet sitting business back home and have 8+ years of experience caring for pets, with great references. I’ll be in Waco taking summer classes and would love a summer job doing what I love—caring for animals. I offer 2–3 drop-in visits a day to feed, walk, play, and check in on your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾 Since all of my summer classes at Baylor are online, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I can do morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits. I’m able to be consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications if needed—and always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I also keep a clean environment and make sure your home is respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, giving them lots of attention, playtime, and care while also being mindful of their boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and trusting environment for both you and your pet.
“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 have always had cats in my life since I can remember. Now I have 3 of my own. 2 inside and one outside. I know how to feed, clean and care for all pets needs. We also now have a dog in our family and he is spoiled rotten. He likes to go on walks, play fetch All of our animals are cared for in the mornings when we wake up. Everyone gets fresh water and food. My long haired cat gets combed daily, medicine in his eyes and eyes cleaned out. By that time it is time to feed everyone I have a fenced yard for my dog and my two cats stay in the house. My outside cat comes in and out all day, eating and playing with the other kitties.
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'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: We are animal lovers, and have continued adding to our pack over the past 5 years. We began our Rover journey, offering boarding and day care in our home a few years ago. However, we paused our services as we adjusted to a move to Waco and were settling in with some new furry family members. We are now ready to resume services with drop in visits and dog walking. Over the years, we have cared for our friend’s and family’s pets while they are away, along with hosting dogs in our home. We have 4 dogs of our own, and are skilled in training, walking, administering medication, accommodating special dietary needs, bathing, keeping animals separated as needed, you name it. We would be honored to watch and treat your pet like one of our own. My wife works from home and I am available 3 days a week. So we will be able to keep a close eye on your pet and provide constant care for them. Because we have a flexible schedule, we will be able to take your dog on walks and potty breaks throughout the day. We love to give belly rubs, snuggles, and attention throughout the day! We will communicate well, be prompt, and will keep a watchful eye on our pet, as well as ensure safety at your home. Will follow detailed instructions if you have a certain feeding method, medication needed, or special details about walks. We will send photo updates throughout the time we are caring for your pet, don’t feel obligated to respond, just want to keep you updated with how they are doing.
About: Every dog is different, requiring different types of care; lazing about, long play times, or simply just having a stroll through the neighborhood. I ensure all of these needs are met regardless of the type of dog. Open availability Wednesday thru Friday, if you would like to book any other days, I am open for the conversation! Weekdays, weekends or even holidays. If you have specific requirements of me, I will do everything to meet them, from your home to your pets needs. From every mess they make.

“Jessica took great care of our puppy that had just been spayed. She gave her medication, made sure she kept it easy with her cone on, and was flexible when our flight was delayed on the way back! We loved all the updates and pictures :)”
“Jaqueline and Todd were excellent. You can tell they truly love dogs and are genuinely interested in what they are doing. Very professional, very personal and absolutely went above and beyond the call. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Waco area!”

“We couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care Stormy received while we were out of town for a family emergency. This was our first time ever leaving her, so naturally we were nervous, but our worries quickly disappeared thanks to the constant communication and care provided. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which meant so much to us and gave us peace of mind knowing Stormy was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear that she was treated with love and attention just like she was part of the family. We highly recommend Andrea’s services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Stormy girl during a stressful time for our family!”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing with our 6 month old puppy, Bear. She sent videos and pictures everyday during our week-long boarding, giving us such a peace of mind. We will be using her anytime we go out of town, highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Walker had the best time with Lacey V. and her family! I enjoyed seeing all the photos and getting the updates on how Walker was doing on his first stay with Lacey. I will definitely rebook and would recommend this sitter to anyone who has a pup and would prefer an in-home boarding environment!”
“If I could give Dorothy 10 stars out of 5 I would. She was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs she sent pictures daily, multiple times a day. My dogs definitely were so comfortable they made themselves right at home. There were no issues or any concerns. My pups stayed for over a week and continued to eat and play with the rest of their furry friends. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone who has a friendly pup.”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for Sarah and David! They took care of Oaklee for the weekend while I was out of town. I received daily photos and updates. When I picked Oaklee up, I could tell she enjoyed her stay. I totally recommend Sarah for anyone searching for a sitter in the Waco area!!”
“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!”

Thank you Tony!”
“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.”
“Sweet and enthusiastic sitter. Whole family loves dogs. They take great care of our girls. Luna and Nova had lots of fetch and snuggles. I was able to relax on our trip because I knew my dogs were taken care of.”
About: Hey there! My name is Gabby and live out in McGregor Tx. Just down the highway from Woodway. My daycare services are perfect for dogs that are not great in a large dog setting and need more personal one to one setting in which they can relax and enjoy their day away from their owners without all the pressure and stress of a multi dog play setting. I have a private backyard with access to long country walks and private walking trails. You can expect your dog to receive a lunch, walk, play time and tons of cuddles upon every stay. Boarders recieve Breakfast and Dinner (owner provided) as well as a snack. I offer regular dog walks and drop ins for the dogs unable to come over personally or who may not be the best in a group. Doggy walks will always be a minimum mile (unless specified otherwise by the owner) and Drop-ins will include poop cleanups, play time and light housework if desired. I can also offer some quick obedience lessons if desired which just includes the basic doggy mind push-ups, sit, down, stay, come repeated a few times. I use positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. Please let me know if your dog has any medical requirements, a special diet or any allergies. I'm able to administer any medications as needed. Also am able to do basic grooming (nails, bathing, genital area clean up, matts). As well as light housework (dishes, laundry, ect.) I'm currently a full time pet mama so my days are spent caring for my own little flock of animals. I currently have my own dog I've trained to be a successful hunting dog as well as fancy chickens that live in the coop in the back. I also have a wide variety of tanked pets including a Leopard Gecko, Texas Rat Snake, Hamster and Betta fish so exotic pet care is also something I can provide for any herp and aquarium owners out there thinking about how they could manage a vacation. I wake up around 5am everyday to walk my Terrier cross and let him stretch his legs first thing. We walk at least a mile before I come home and check on my Chickens, Leopard Gecko, Hamster and Snake. I feed and clean water dishes. Then go and clean the fish tank and use the water to water the garden.
“Megan is my go to sitter. My dog wasn't feeling too well on his last visit and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands with Megan. She is also always gracious in any changes that happen in my business travels and willing to work with me. Thanks Megan!”
“Samuel did a great job with my three girls, one 10 months, one 8 and one 15 years old. They were well taken care of. I especially loved the video he sent during my time away.”
“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♥️”
