“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!”
“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!"”
“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!”
“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.”
“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: As a former veterinary clinic employee, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and well-being. My extensive knowledge allows me to provide personalized care tailored to your pet's unique needs. With my three lovable dogs of my own, I'm a seasoned "fur parent" who understands the importance of creating a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. My home dog park, where dogs can socialize, exercise, and play off-leash, is a unique feature that sets me apart from other sitters. Here, your furry friend will enjoy the freedom of playing with friends while you're away, knowing they're in good hands. My passion for dogs, combined with my professional experience and facilities, make me the perfect sitter for your beloved companion. I understand the importance of flexibility and reliability when it comes to pet care. My schedule allows me to accommodate a range of pet care needs, from daily visits to overnight or multi-day stays. I can visit your furry friend during the day, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while also providing peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. We are a family-based boarding home, so your pet will receive plenty of love and attention throughout their stay. My husband works from home, which allows for extra supervision and care during the day, and my daughter also has experience with pet care and pet sitting. Together, we create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in our care. Whether you’re away for a few hours, a full day, or several days, I’ll make sure your pet receives the care, comfort, and companionship they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your unique needs so you can feel confident that your pet will be well cared for like part of the family. Welcome to my home, where your furry friend will receive the ultimate pampering experience! You're welcome to bring their own bed to sleep in, or they can choose from one of my beds. But it's not just about sleeping - my in-home dog park is the real showstopper! This spacious yard is designed for pets to run wild, play fetch, and make new friends. And for those who love water, they can splash around in my inground pool. The yard is fully fenced and secure, so you can rest assured that your pet will be safe and happy. My home is a haven for pets, and I'm confident that they'll feel right at home.
“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”
“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!”
“Whitney was amazing! My pup can be a little difficult but Whitney took very good care of her. I received several updated with pictures and video! Java had a great time and I'll definitely bring her back to Whitney!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.

“Rebecca was a great sitter for my cat, Tucker. She sent daily pictures that were precious and he was sad to leave his new friends. She took great care of Tuck and if I ever had a question, she was quick to respond. I definitely recommend her and would use her services again! Thanks, Rebecca!”
“Madison did a great job! Our cats are shy and because she stayed at the house they got more comfortable with her. She fed fish and misted the snake cage, too. Definitely recommend!”
“Kirsten made sure to make time to come early to meet animals and get keys before the initial visit. She made sure to send pictures daily and the cats looked comfortable when I returned home.”
“Kim was amazing. I had no worries about my cats at all knowing that they were in such great hands. So easy to communicate with, and she updated me daily with a photo and a report. If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, look no further. I will definitely be using Kim again in the future!”
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: 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.

“Jadyn was excellent! She took great care of our cats, followed our schedule for them, and made sure they had the companionship they need while we were away. I hope to work with Jadyn again!”
About: With over 5 years of hands on experience in pet sitting, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My services go beyond basic feeding and whatever needs. I schedule my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I carefully plan my week to ensure I can give each pet individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize trust, safety, and routine. I start by reviewing any care instructions provided feeding schedules, medication, behavior notes, and emergency contacts so I can follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.
About: I have two pets at home, 1 cat and 1 dog, and I care for them daily. I have also done pet sitting for friends and family whenever they needed me to. I work part time so I am able to spend time with the fur babies and care for their daily needs as well as play time. Well for my dog I take her out multiple times a day to use the bathroom or play. I also feed her twice a day (along with treats) make sure her water bowl is always filled. For my cat I feed her twice a day and clean the litter box every day along cleaning up the mess made in that area. I make sure to spend plenty of time with her and give her lots of cuddles and treats.
“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.”

“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!!”
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.
“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!! :)”
“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!”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was 12!! I’ve always loved animals and I grow a passion for them everyday!! Joining this app will help me pursue that dream!! I love getting up every morning super early so I’m able to bring my dogs out. I feel that I need more things to do which dog walking would help fill that need!! I take what you tell me to do.

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.

“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!”
“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: 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!
About: I grew up on a farm so we had all sorts of animals, big and small. We were in 4H as well as had multiple pets throughout childhood. I love all animals and know how important it is for the owners to feel that their babies are safe and well cared for. I create my own schedule so I'm available for drop ins during the week as well as weekends. Daily feedings or over nights are easy to accommodate. I have a fenced yard and a young large mixed breed who loves to play. We have plenty of room inside and outside the house.
About: 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.

“Sarah has been a great daily walker for Sage. He's pretty high-energy when he walks, and she handles him perfectly! She's great at communicating and helping out with random things, like letting me know if I accidentally left my garage door open and bringing in packages. I will definitely keep her on the team as long as possible!”
“Kirsten is nothing of fantastic. I moved to Waco on 6/27 and started work on 6/29. I didn’t have a dog walker and found Kirsten on Rover - she has been a blessing. She how walks my dog 5 times a week and sometimes 2 walks a day. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs assistance with their pets. She professional, kind, reliable and accomodsting”

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. My normal weekly schedule has me available Mondays and Tuesdays after 1pm and Wednesday through Friday I am available after 11am. 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.

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 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: Brady (husband) and I are happy to host your loved ones in our home, fenced-in backyard, and walkable neighborhood. We love animals, the outdoors, and going for looooong walks. We have a few fur friends of our own and are excited to cuddle and work with all the dogs (and cats or birds or lizards!) we can. We really like to get acquainted with our clients and make sure your pet will be as happy as can be while under our care. Feel free to message me about any of our services even if you are just curious about how Rover works! We have a four-bedroom house with space dedicated explicitly to our clients and a large fenced-in backyard. We work on training, socialization, and activities with all of our fur friends. I work remotely and will lecture a few days on Baylor campus with a flexible schedule and Brady works from home. Animals in our care will never be left alone for more than 2 hours at time. Communication is also incredibly important to us. If you do not feel comfortable communicating using the Rover app or dummy number Rover has provided, we cannot provide service for you. Please provide as much information about your pets as possible so we know if we can provide the service you require. This is absolutely in the best interest of you and your loving fur friends. I have a remote job and am a college lecturer with a flexible schedule and my husband works from home. Very rarely will an animal be left for more than 1 hour at a time. Animals are allowed in an out all day. We have fenced areas to keep everyone separate if needed. Please specify if your dog will need extra space.
About: I consider myself a "mother of nature," because no matter what what kind of animal it is I am a natural at nurturing everything from fur-babies to feathered friends. I grew up with dogs, and I've always helped my disabled mom with her 4, now senior, dogs (two pitties, a rat terrier, and a chiweenie.) I love taking them on nature walks, and I even cook chicken or ground beef and rice for them, and use holistic remedies to keep them in top shape for their ages (15+). Animal rescue also comes naturally, because I feel humans are meant to be the keepers of the earth. Every night I feed a colony of stray cats and their neighbors (raccoons, opossums, and ducks.) 😁💖 It's a joy to me to help and have fun with cats and dogs, because I love animals. That's why I'm your fur-baby's favorite auntie! If you feel like I would be a great fit for your pet, let me know when you need me to be available. I'm an entrepreneur, so I can make exceptions and be flexible with scheduling. Currently, I don't have any pets in my household, besides two cats that I allow in for feeding and sometimes sleeping at night or when the weather is bad. They usually prefers to be outside. I take my disabled mom's dogs out every evening, so it's like I have 3 dogs. Although, they don't live with me.
About: What sets me apart is the calm, consistent care I provide. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, and I always tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just quiet cuddles, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have two cats of my own. Every day includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and making sure my cat is happy and healthy. I also make time throughout the day to give pets attention, exercise, and lots of love. My work schedule allows me to plan ahead so I can provide dependable care and stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide loving care by following each pet’s routine, offering playtime, meals, and cuddles, while keeping their space clean and comfortable, whether at home or theirs.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs throughout my life of all ages. I’ve had a few dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were puppies. I’ve had neighbors ask me to pet sit for them. I can bathe, feed, walk, and play with your animals! I am in Waco Texas and am available any weekend to look after your pets! I am only not available Sunday mornings because I’ll be at church!

About: I’ve worked with a local business for 7 1/2 years, and have received training over general knowledge about animals, providing pet aid, and knowledge about pet behavior. I love animals and I am familiar with all ranges of animals from domestic to live stock and reptiles. I am familiar with distributing oral and injection medications as well. I love my current job, and I am passionate about spending time with, and taking care of everyone’s babies! I have three dogs and two cats of my own, and I know how it important it is to have peace of mind when you are away from them! I look forward to helping you and your fur babies! I’m working part time at a local pet business, and would love to add some extra work and hours to my schedule for the week. I am familiar with what to look for when walking animals or letting animals outside. I also know what to look for when an animal is experiencing medical issues. All the while, distributing lots of love and attention!
“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!”

“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!”
“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!"”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“Whitney was amazing! My pup can be a little difficult but Whitney took very good care of her. I received several updated with pictures and video! Java had a great time and I'll definitely bring her back to Whitney!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.

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!”
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.
“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!”
