“Jessica was always responsive while my Tucker stayed with her, she sent me updates and photos, I would definitely recommend her for your sitter needs. She was very considerate of my request, and drop off and pick up was easy”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were very happy we chose Jacquelyn and Todd to care for our girls! They kept us updated and sent pictures and both girls seemed very comfortable. If we are back in Waco and need care we would definitely use Jacqueline and Todd again!”
“Nicole was very nice and my dog tucker was happy and healthy. I had some trouble coming back on time during the pickup time. She was very understanding and offered another night stay with her.”
“My girl had the time of her life this past weekend! I loved having peace of mind being away but knowing that she was being loved and cared for the whole time. I would recommend Dustin every time, 10/10!! Also the picture/video updates are priceless in my opinion, and I received lots of them!”
“Andrea was fantastic! She was reliable, caring, and really connected with my pet. I felt completely at ease, knowing my furry friend was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her!"”
“Jamelah was patient with us and our Belgium Sheppard. This was our first time using Rover with this pet. By the time we returned, she had our guard dog playing with her pet. We were thrilled. I appreciate her flexibility with each pet. She didnt require a crate, and allowed our dog to sleep on a rug by the bed. Exactly like she sleeps at home. We received pics and she responded right away to needy dog parents :). We will aways use Jamelah if she is available.”
“Another wonderful experience having Sarah be the doggie sitter for Rambo and Ladybug. Very pleased with the ease of dropping off and picking up and the care they get while being there. Another perk is Sarah's two dogs. They are so cool!”
“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!”

“Lacey and her family took such great care of our dog, Buddy. He enjoyed his 7 night stay. We had a delayed flight and Lacey easily accomidated a much later pick up due to our flight issues. Buddy will for sure vacation here again. Thank you Lacey!”
“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!”
“Jessica offers excellent home away from home boarding services. Comfort & care were provided for both of the boys. If they had their way, they would have stayed. Thank you Jessica!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We had such a wonderful experience using Bethany to take care of our pups! She was very good and understanding their needs and behaviors. She send sweet pictures of them every day and they were always so happy! They got plenty of attention and very will timed potty breaks. Would definitely recommend Bethany and will use her again!”
“Starlet did an amazing job! She updated me frequently and my dogs seemed to have had a great time. 100% will book again for future trips to Waco! Her home is in a lovely neighborhood as well, which is a huge bonus for me! She had a privacy fenced yard and I felt that my pups were safe with her at her house!”
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!
“Kayla did amazing watching my dog. She’s really nice about having to last minute extend the stay and provides a great environment for your dog to have a blast while they’re with her.”

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
“What a treat my dogs had with the drop- in visits that Kayla made. She was very interactive and was playful with them, she even brought her kiddos out to join in the fun! My dogs loved the attention! I didn’t have to worry a thing! Don’t hesitate to reach out to Kayla, she is a terrific choice.”
“First time we have used Rover and we were so pleased. Brittney was great and very good at communicating with calls and texts. Our dogs were happy, safe and home while we were out of town and we will be a repeat customer of Brittney’s.”
About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence
“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of Castiel, Crowley, and Lilith. She was caring, attentive, and clearly took the time to understand each of their personalities. I especially appreciated how patient she was with Crowley, who is a rescue and still getting used to humans. By the end of the stay, she had earned his confidence, which says a lot about her calm and compassionate approach with animals. I felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands, and I will definitely consider booking her again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

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.
“Came in from out of town and needed a sitter for the day. Andrea was very accommodating and kept us updated throughout the day. Capone looked like he had a lot of fun and playtime. Would definitely use Andrea again the next time we are in town!!”

“Courtney is wonderful and her love of animals is apparent as soon as you meet her. During our meet and greet, she was so patient and loving with my crazy fur kid, Frankie. I got such a great feeling watching her introduce her two cute pups to mine. She really knows what she's doing and doesn't rush the meeting process to ensure all the dogs are properly introduced. Once everyone was comfortable with each other they were able to play in the backyard together. Frankie had his first day of doggy daycare today with Courtney, Maia and Odin. She kept me updated with texts, pictures and a video of the doggies playing. When I went to scoop him up I could tell he had tons of fun and got lots of love! As soon as he got home he took a huge nap. I will be recommending Courtney to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. I can't wait to set up another stay with her ASAP?”
About: I don’t just pet‑sit — I love on your animals like they’re part of my own little pack. From belly rubs to long walks and cozy snuggles, your fur babies get all the care, attention, and heart they deserve. Kittens/Puppies/Elder/Special Needs Animals Morning: I start the day with your cat — breakfast, fresh water, gentle snuggles, and a little playtime to ease into the day. I check in on their mood, energy level, and any special needs so the rest of the day stays centered around them. Midday: I’m home for the most of the day, keeping your cat company, offering enrichment, supervising any outdoor time they enjoy, and maintaining their routine. If your cat is comfortable and settled, I may step out for essential errands, always making sure their needs are fully met before I leave and right when I return. Afternoon: More focused attention — play sessions, quiet companionship, grooming if they enjoy it, or simply being nearby so they feel safe and supported. Their comfort guides the pace of the day. Evening: Dinner, cozy wind‑down time, and extra affection. I stay home to ensure they feel secure, relaxed, and cared for as they settle in for the night. A day in my care is all about your cat — snuggles when they want closeness, playful moments to spark joy, supervised outdoor time for safe exploring, gentle walks or calming car rides if they enjoy them, and a routine built entirely around their needs. Whether they’re nursing, growing, aging, or require special attention, I make sure every moment feels comforting, enriching, and full of love.

About: My mother was a vet ❤️ I have loved on a variety of animals to include exotic pets and much more since a young kid. I’m retired and currently in progress of building a Rescue Ranch i have close to 40 outdoor animals currently. I live out in the country with plenty of room. If you prefer indoors sitting I am definitely willing to accommodate. I can vouch that your fur babies will be taken care of like they were my very own. I am retired and home all day. I am currently building a Rescue Ranch so my schedule is very flexible. The only days or hours not available are Sunday for Church. I allow most pets inside or out.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter who is new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also have experience administering medications and am comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care routines. My husband and I live on a farm with our 4-year-old female Standard Poodle, Maggie. She is friendly, well trained, and enjoys having other dogs around. Although our yard is not fenced, all dogs are closely supervised outdoors and taken on multiple leashed walks each day. Our property offers plenty of space for safe walks, exploring, and sniffing. I recently completed my PhD at Baylor University and bring responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability to everything I do. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will treat your dog like part of our family while keeping you updated throughout their stay. I have cared for pets for friends, family, and others since high school, with more regular pet-sitting experience in recent years. Please note that dogs staying in our home must be comfortable using stairs. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, companionship, feeding, medication, and plenty of attention. I already follow a consistent routine with my Standard Poodle, Maggie, including multiple leashed walks each day. Because we live on a farm, visiting dogs also have plenty of opportunities to walk, explore, and sniff while remaining safely supervised. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routine as closely as possible. In my home, dogs are always supervised outdoors and receive multiple walks around our farm. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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 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: I’ve always had many different pets all throughout my life from reptiles and cats to furry K-9’s. Training dogs and teaching them new tricks are a hobby of mine so if you’re having trouble with certain things I’ll be happy to provide my best effort in teaching your furry friend something new! I've spent a lot of time volunteering at the humane society while Stationed in Hawaii so I’m well versed in working with animals from all walks of life. Tuesday-Thursday I work early mornings however my wife is also a animal Lover as well and can provide all the care that I can. After 2pm Tuesday-Thursday and any day on weekends and Monday my schedule is fully available!

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.

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.

My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence

“Jessica was always responsive while my Tucker stayed with her, she sent me updates and photos, I would definitely recommend her for your sitter needs. She was very considerate of my request, and drop off and pick up was easy”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were very happy we chose Jacquelyn and Todd to care for our girls! They kept us updated and sent pictures and both girls seemed very comfortable. If we are back in Waco and need care we would definitely use Jacqueline and Todd again!”
“Nicole was very nice and my dog tucker was happy and healthy. I had some trouble coming back on time during the pickup time. She was very understanding and offered another night stay with her.”
“My girl had the time of her life this past weekend! I loved having peace of mind being away but knowing that she was being loved and cared for the whole time. I would recommend Dustin every time, 10/10!! Also the picture/video updates are priceless in my opinion, and I received lots of them!”
“Andrea was fantastic! She was reliable, caring, and really connected with my pet. I felt completely at ease, knowing my furry friend was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her!"”
“Jamelah was patient with us and our Belgium Sheppard. This was our first time using Rover with this pet. By the time we returned, she had our guard dog playing with her pet. We were thrilled. I appreciate her flexibility with each pet. She didnt require a crate, and allowed our dog to sleep on a rug by the bed. Exactly like she sleeps at home. We received pics and she responded right away to needy dog parents :). We will aways use Jamelah if she is available.”
“Another wonderful experience having Sarah be the doggie sitter for Rambo and Ladybug. Very pleased with the ease of dropping off and picking up and the care they get while being there. Another perk is Sarah's two dogs. They are so cool!”
“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!”

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!”
“Jessica offers excellent home away from home boarding services. Comfort & care were provided for both of the boys. If they had their way, they would have stayed. Thank you Jessica!”

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

Jennifer is really good about sending photos regularly 😊. Marley came home happy and healthy. So nice to be able to go on vacation and not have to worry.”
About: I’ve lived on a farm for 2 to 3 years so I was around a lot of animals. I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my childhood and as I got older, I’ve had my own pets. I’ve dog and cat sitter for a few friends, and I have a big passion and heart for animals and I think they all deserve the attention they need!<3 I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. My regular unavailability is Wednesday evenings and Sundays. Any additional scheduling conflicts will be communicated in advance. I plan to begin college classes in late August, and once my class schedule is finalized, I will update my availability accordingly. I am dedicated to providing pets with the care, attention, and companionship they need while their owners are away. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by ensuring their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I don’t just pet‑sit — I love on your animals like they’re part of my own little pack. From belly rubs to long walks and cozy snuggles, your fur babies get all the care, attention, and heart they deserve. Kittens/Puppies/Elder/Special Needs Animals Morning: I start the day with your cat — breakfast, fresh water, gentle snuggles, and a little playtime to ease into the day. I check in on their mood, energy level, and any special needs so the rest of the day stays centered around them. Midday: I’m home for the most of the day, keeping your cat company, offering enrichment, supervising any outdoor time they enjoy, and maintaining their routine. If your cat is comfortable and settled, I may step out for essential errands, always making sure their needs are fully met before I leave and right when I return. Afternoon: More focused attention — play sessions, quiet companionship, grooming if they enjoy it, or simply being nearby so they feel safe and supported. Their comfort guides the pace of the day. Evening: Dinner, cozy wind‑down time, and extra affection. I stay home to ensure they feel secure, relaxed, and cared for as they settle in for the night. A day in my care is all about your cat — snuggles when they want closeness, playful moments to spark joy, supervised outdoor time for safe exploring, gentle walks or calming car rides if they enjoy them, and a routine built entirely around their needs. Whether they’re nursing, growing, aging, or require special attention, I make sure every moment feels comforting, enriching, and full of love.
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 am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter who is new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also have experience administering medications and am comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care routines. My husband and I live on a farm with our 4-year-old female Standard Poodle, Maggie. She is friendly, well trained, and enjoys having other dogs around. Although our yard is not fenced, all dogs are closely supervised outdoors and taken on multiple leashed walks each day. Our property offers plenty of space for safe walks, exploring, and sniffing. I recently completed my PhD at Baylor University and bring responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability to everything I do. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will treat your dog like part of our family while keeping you updated throughout their stay. I have cared for pets for friends, family, and others since high school, with more regular pet-sitting experience in recent years. Please note that dogs staying in our home must be comfortable using stairs. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, companionship, feeding, medication, and plenty of attention. I already follow a consistent routine with my Standard Poodle, Maggie, including multiple leashed walks each day. Because we live on a farm, visiting dogs also have plenty of opportunities to walk, explore, and sniff while remaining safely supervised. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routine as closely as possible. In my home, dogs are always supervised outdoors and receive multiple walks around our farm. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
