“They were fantastic! They sent pictures and a video and kept me updated as to how Heidi was doing. She had a great time and was thoroughly exhausted when she came home.”
“Andrea is awesome. She is super reliable, and obviously loves hanging out with my fur babies. I like how she sends pictures too. I will definitely be calling her again. It was nice knowing my babies were in good hands and happy. Thanks Andrea!”
“Ziggy had the most wonderful time with Rebecca and Brady!! They took great care of my pup over a long weekend... I got photos and updates every day while I was gone. I wasn't worried at all while I was away because I knew he was in good hands. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to working with them again!!”
“5 stars. Responded very quick, very nice and attentive, took amazing care of my 8month old puppy and my 10 year old lab they had a back yard to play in and bone marrow for lunch and he sent me multiple videos. 10/10 would recommend to anyone”
“Whitney always takes first class care of our boys! She’s been so kind to us and is truly a wonderful person with an amazing family. Dizzy and Wilson look forward to their visits every time and that makes our lives much easier when we have to be away from them.”
“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!”
“My dogs had plenty of socialization with other dogs and people. They had room to run and chase outside. Dustin is very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. Dogs had fun during their stay with Dustin.”
“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 always takes such great care of our sweet pup! He required a little extra care this time and she was amazing at keeping him well cared for and us in the loop about how he was doing.”
“Amazing sitter, My Zoey is very needy. Her and her family welcomed my baby with open arms. I received beautiful pictures daily and of her walks. Made my vacation so much easier to enjoy. Will certainly use her again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kaitlyn is amazing! She sent us thoughtful updates about Milo throughout our trip. I could tell Milo was tell very well taken care of. Would definitely entrust her with our pooch in the future.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it was AMAZING. Many thanks to Sarah V. BE-G was so well-cared for; she returned happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the fun she had. BE-G is already looking forward to her next stay. 😊”
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.

I am available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, companionship, feeding, medication, and plenty of attention.

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 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: 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!
“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 went to college to be a Vet and although I ended up in sales I definitely learned the basics on how to take care of your pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. My background as a vet student also means you can trust me to be consistent, communicative, and professional. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m pivoting from sales into marketing and, while job-hunting, I love spending my time caring for dogs. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pup all the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need. 💕 follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles included. 🐾 I’ll also keep things tidy and send photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. 💕

“They were fantastic! They sent pictures and a video and kept me updated as to how Heidi was doing. She had a great time and was thoroughly exhausted when she came home.”
“Andrea is awesome. She is super reliable, and obviously loves hanging out with my fur babies. I like how she sends pictures too. I will definitely be calling her again. It was nice knowing my babies were in good hands and happy. Thanks Andrea!”
“5 stars. Responded very quick, very nice and attentive, took amazing care of my 8month old puppy and my 10 year old lab they had a back yard to play in and bone marrow for lunch and he sent me multiple videos. 10/10 would recommend to anyone”
“Whitney always takes first class care of our boys! She’s been so kind to us and is truly a wonderful person with an amazing family. Dizzy and Wilson look forward to their visits every time and that makes our lives much easier when we have to be away from them.”
“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!”
“My dogs had plenty of socialization with other dogs and people. They had room to run and chase outside. Dustin is very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. Dogs had fun during their stay with Dustin.”
“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 always takes such great care of our sweet pup! He required a little extra care this time and she was amazing at keeping him well cared for and us in the loop about how he was doing.”
“Amazing sitter, My Zoey is very needy. Her and her family welcomed my baby with open arms. I received beautiful pictures daily and of her walks. Made my vacation so much easier to enjoy. Will certainly use her again.”
“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!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it was AMAZING. Many thanks to Sarah V. BE-G was so well-cared for; she returned happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the fun she had. BE-G is already looking forward to her next stay. 😊”
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.
“Delphi does a great job, is always super flexible with our time table and accommodates us. She does a great job with our pup! She sends pictures and communicates well. We will definitely book again in the future!”
About: I have dog sat my whole life or lived with dogs. I love animals, especially dogs and I want to spend more time with some! I love taking my friend’s dogs on walks or just playing with them! I am willing to walk, play, bathe, feed, and cuddle your dog! I am free in the morning and evenings. Free most weekends! I work 8-5 but flexible to leave during the day if needed! I don’t mind staying with your dogs. In a clients home I don’t mind driving or picking the pets up! I am willing to stay at your home or just check in/ feed/ walk when needed.
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.
“Bethany was fantastic! My dog hank loved her and she provided pictures and updates of his stay. She even extended his stay for two days last minute and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. 10/10 would recommend”
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 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
“She took care of my Big Boy last minute. I am so appreciative of her for that. When I came to pick him up he was happy like he had a good time. I already booked her for my trip in two weeks.”
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.
