Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ross
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ross
“Jacqueline and Todd were both attentive towards our dogs. They had tons of patience and were able to give our dogs some more direction as far as adequate behavior. They both kept us updated each day with how the dogs were doing and extremely helpful through the whole process. I highly recommend them!”
“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 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!”
“Our fur baby absolutely loved his time with Jessica and her family. They were so attentive and sent us regular updates. Not for a moment did I worry that my baby wasn’t in good hands. They treated and loved him like family!”
“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!”

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.”

About: I have been pet sitting for a couple of years and have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I understand that every cat has their own routine and comfort level, so I make sure to follow their schedule for feeding, litter box care, playtime, and snuggles. I’m comfortable caring for shy or senior cats and always provide a calm, safe, and loving environment. My goal is to give your feline friend the attention and care they need so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life, including friends and family pets. I have a mini Australian shepherd who I adopted and have had the last two years. I have extensive experience with taking care of animals large or small and will love your pets as much as you do. Pet care fits into my current work schedule, but I am able to drop in to check on animals before or after work. If you have specific times or other requests, please let me know. I care for other people's pets exactly how I would care for my own dog. I follow instructions/ any other requests a client may make.

I will gladly take them for walks in the park ans many times as they want and around my house, I don’t mind bathing or grooming if needed, and I have also trained many dogs in my lifetime. If this is not what you are looking for, I would also love to just lay around and hang out with them.

My own cat, who is now 10 years old, is a cuddler and loves attention. Any cat I come in contact with immediately gets love from me in anyway they accept and I will respect their boundaries if they need their independence.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ross
“Jacquie and Todd were incredibly kind and accommodating with a family emergency. I trusted them with my precious baby and they did not disappoint me in anyway. They took wonderful care of her for many many hours every single day and were very flexible with my drop off and pick up times. My dog and I were staying in a hotel. She came home tired and happy every single day after her time with them. I really really appreciate everything they did for us.”
“Rebecca was awesome! She took care of my dog super last minute and was incredibly flexible and accommodating. All of her pups were very sweet as well and seemed to make my dog feel right at home. Thanks again for sitting Artie!”

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!! :)”
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.

“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: 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.
“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: 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!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ross
“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!”
About: I love all dogs, every shape size and personality. I have over 20 years experience taking care dogs cats and even farm animals. I would be very happy to help walk, feed and play with your animal. I specialize in caring for dogs with special needs such as epilepsy. I do work from home so my schedule is very open for feedings, walks, and play time. I am the proud "parent" of an 18 year old Long Haired dachshund mix who suffers from epilepsy so I know all the ins and outs of caring for a sick pup. I am also the mother two tow very energetic Aussie doodles. If your dog needs a little extra TLC I might be the girl to help. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I work from home and my schedule is flexible! I am an early riser and love walking. Taking care of dogs would only bring more joy to my day. I understand how stressful it can be for our animals when their owners are away. I am very patient with animals during this time as I know it can be overwhelming to have someone new taking care of them. I love to tailor the animals care to each specific animal based on their needs, emotional and physical.
About: Hi! I’m Camryn, an upcoming senior at Baylor University studying Environmental Studies.

“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.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a couple of years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies as well as senior dogs who may be hard of hearing or losing their sight, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During visits I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I aim to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.

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! I can do most anything you ask of me. I will also do the basics: walking, feeding, keeping an eye on their health, entertaining, etc.
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: 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: 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.

“Jacqueline and Todd were both attentive towards our dogs. They had tons of patience and were able to give our dogs some more direction as far as adequate behavior. They both kept us updated each day with how the dogs were doing and extremely helpful through the whole process. I highly recommend them!”
“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!”

“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!”

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.
“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.”
“My 2 dogs felt right at home at Kaylee’s place! I felt confident leaving them with her for over a week. You can tell Kaylee loves dogs and they cannot sense it. Kaylee kept me up to date on how they were doing and sent photos that assured me they were doing well. I plan on using Kaylee in the future - you can’t go wrong with hiring her to care for your pets!”
