“Jessica was absolutely great! After our meet + greet, any concerns I had were addressed and I felt at ease leaving Cheshire with Jessica. I could tell that she had a wonderful time after I picked her up, and she made a new friend, Dixie, to boot! I greatly appreciated the daily photographs she sent of Cheshire playing and being adorable. Jessica was also very understanding after getting caught in traffic and being late on pick-up. Will definitely book with Jessica in the future!”
“Fantastically informative and understanding. I was really nervous about leaving my puppy with someone but they calmly explained everything about how Sophie was doing, what was good and what was needing improvement. 5/5 stars”
“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!”
“Dustin took good care of my dogs. Dustin was patient with my shy girl. His dogs were fun playmates. Plenty of room to run. Safe, fenced backyard. Dustin supervised them while they were outside with the pool. He was responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. We will have him sit Luna and Nova again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Rebecca and her husband, Brady, were outstanding. They even helped with a last-minute adding a couple of nights due to an unforeseen issue. My pups were very well cared for and loved on. I received photos and updates each day. If we are back in Hot Springs and need dog sitters Rebecca will be our go-to!”
“Jeannette is fantastic! She is incredibly kind and patient with Ace. Her dog Theo is a sweetheart and Ace loves playing with him! Ace always comes back home very happy. It is very evident he is loved and taken care of!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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: 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!

And for those who love water, they can splash around in my inground pool. The yard is fully fenced and secure, so you can rest assured that your pet will be safe and happy.

“We are so grateful that we found Kayla to take care of our four kitties while we were on vacation. This was our first time using someone we did not know personally to take care of them, and she was wonderful. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Lily was by far one of the BEST sitters we’ve ever had for our cats! She’s a very gentle and sweet individual who has a natural ability to identify our cats’ needs. We were impressed with her consistent daily reporting on our cats, especially with her breathings with our more antisocial furbaby. We couldn’t have been more fortunate in finding Lily to trust our cats with over the holidays.”
“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.”
“Again, another GREAT job by Britteny! Britteny has been a great sitter for our doodles. They love her! She is dependable, responsible.... and we are very grateful to her for watching our dogs and we don't worry about them when she is taking care of them.”

“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.”

“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!!”
“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: 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.

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.

I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! 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 love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
About: Howdy! I have primarily watched my siblings and neighbors pets. I love animals and will take care of your pet to the best of my ability! I am a full time nurse but I typically work 3-4 days a week. My schedule varies so really just depends on what your needs are. I take care of them by making sure they have all the necessities including affirmation, play time, and long walks. I love taking care of animals and see it as a privilege to be trusted with the responsibility!
About: I’ve worked at a boarding facility working with dogs and cats. I cleaned the kennels, fed, watered and played with the pets that was being boarded there as well as baths when they had an accident in their runs. I’m currently not working so I’m available at all hours and day! I’m looking to make this a full time job so I’m available whenever you need me! I have a small kennel currently but I have 4 dogs, 2 of which love other dogs but will crate the others for the safety of your pet!

“Jessica was absolutely great! After our meet + greet, any concerns I had were addressed and I felt at ease leaving Cheshire with Jessica. I could tell that she had a wonderful time after I picked her up, and she made a new friend, Dixie, to boot! I greatly appreciated the daily photographs she sent of Cheshire playing and being adorable. Jessica was also very understanding after getting caught in traffic and being late on pick-up. Will definitely book with Jessica in the future!”

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!!”
“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: 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. I do have a fence in property, also plenty of pasture space for larger animals or grazing if needed.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of numerous different animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals and everything in between. I’ve sat for friends and neighbors and have volunteered at different animal clinics and shelters as well as fostered kittens and puppies. I’m also knowledgeable in fish aquariums/care. I’m currently a stay at home mom and do online schooling at home as well. My time is very flexible for any day of the week except when picking up and dropping kids off from school. I have a fenced in half acre back yard so there’s plenty of room to run around. I do have 5 dogs and 3 cats as well. All my pets vaccinated and kennel trained and they do great around other animals. I also have half of our house blocked off with a gate to separate dogs as well and still have them able to be inside with us.
