“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jacqueline and Todd! They are so caring toward the dogs they watch. I feel so confident that our dog will be loved, supported, and cared for when we drop him off”
“My dogs loved their stay with Andrea! She is lovely and so is her family. They had a great time playing outside and relaxing indoors. She sent me photos throughout their stay as well, which I really appreciated.”
“Jessica was great. She was very prompt and courteous. She sent pictures of Mazie to let me know how she was doing. I will definitely use her again. Thank you for taking such good care of Mazie.”
“Celeste was very friendly and responsive when wanting an update on how Coco was doing. She was very thorough with questions about Coco's eating schedule, walking habits, and the little details on how she acts. She took her on walks plenty of walks. Also, can't thank her enough, she allowed me to extend Coco stay for an extra day due to my brother wanting to stay out of town longer.”
“Rebecca T. Was great!!! Flexible with a last-minute booking and so very understanding when Austin traffic made me late for pickup. My Mila adored playing with Rebecca’s animals. The photos she sent helped me not miss my fur baby as much. There is nothing Rebecca T. could have done to make me happier. Rover.com sitters are the best!”
“Dustin was great! Our dog really seemed to enjoy staying the weekend. Very communicative, and sends lots of pictures throughout the day to let you know they're doing okay. We look forward to future visits!”
“Our other sitter canceled on us last minute and luckily Jessica responded to us right away even though it was so last minute on a holiday weekend. Her whole family was so sweet with our Roxy and we instantly felt at ease when we dropped her off. Highly recommend 👍”
“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.”
“Whitney was amazing. Our boys were treated like part of her family and had the best time. It was such a blessing to relax and enjoy some time away knowing they were being pampered. Great communication with pictures of their adventures every day. Couldn't recommend more highly.”
“My dog was instantly at ease when we arrived. Sam was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. My dog loved it so much that he wanted to go back later that night. Lol”
“Starlet was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we connected, I could tell she genuinely loves what she does. My pup had a fantastic time—so much playtime, attention, and care. He played well with her dog and it honestly feels like he made a new best friend. She sent pictures everyday, giving me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Starlet to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
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!
“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.”

“Allison did a great job caring for two of my cats while my husband and I were out of town. One of our cats is on seizure medication and needs his meds twice daily on a strict timeline. Allison showed up on time for all necessary doses and even stayed longer to play with the cats. Allison proved to be reliable and followed all directions given. Very pleased with the service provided and will book again!”
“Adrienne was absolutely fantastic! I loved how even before her first drop in with my cat, Percy, she made sure to really introduce herself and let him be comfortable around him. She is so communicative and took fantastic care of Percy— he loved her so much. I can’t wait to hopefully have Adrienne come back in the future!”
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
“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!”
“Again, another GREAT job by Britteny! Britteny has been a great sitter for our doodles. They love her! She is dependable, responsible.... and we are very grateful to her for watching our dogs and we don't worry about them when she is taking care of them.”
“Briana was great! I appreciate her willingness to get to know my reactive dog as he comes off aggressive at first with strangers but is a sweet heart when he warms up to them. I was confident I was leaving him in great hands while I had to go out of town.”

I am Fear Free certified and have received extensive training in handling and working with dogs to ensure their well-being and comfort. I prioritize their well-being by dedicating time each day to ensure they are happy, entertained, and have all their necessities met.

About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was young. Back home it was a daily occurrence to wake up early and feed all the animals. From cows to chickens and cats to dogs, I have been around all of them. I throughly enjoy being around animals and currently missing my Australian Shepard back home. I’m currently attending college right now, so I have massive blocks in my schedule and even times for overnight care. Most of my homework does not require me to be on campus so it is easy to house sit when necessary. I can even check on animals during breaks between classes. At my current house, I have a massive backyard and located within a quarter mile of Thomas Park. The backyard has lots of shade and will always have plenty of water. When my dog comes up, he loves the backyard and walking around the park.

“Thank you for watching our baby, she was wore out on the ride home. We will definitely be in contact if we go back down to your area and highly recommend you to anyone we know looking for sitter around your area also.”
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.
“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!”
“We were traveling through Waco and wanted to stop for sight-seeing. We knew Samba (our dog) would enjoy doggie day care instead. We contacted Andrea to see if she was available. She got back to us right away and was so courteous and helpful. Our dog had a great time in her care and we appreciated her prompt communication and all the care and attention she gave Samba! Thank you, Andrea!”
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.

“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!! :)”

“Rebecca and Brady are amazing. We are from out of to town and need a dog sitter for the day. We were able to meet them the night before and have Finley Magee sniff around. This made for an easy drop off today. We received a couple pictures throughout the day. We could tell Finley was safe and comfortable. Thank you Rebecca and Brady!”
“Courtney is wonderful and her love of animals is apparent as soon as you meet her. During our meet and greet, she was so patient and loving with my crazy fur kid, Frankie. I got such a great feeling watching her introduce her two cute pups to mine. She really knows what she's doing and doesn't rush the meeting process to ensure all the dogs are properly introduced. Once everyone was comfortable with each other they were able to play in the backyard together. Frankie had his first day of doggy daycare today with Courtney, Maia and Odin. She kept me updated with texts, pictures and a video of the doggies playing. When I went to scoop him up I could tell he had tons of fun and got lots of love! As soon as he got home he took a huge nap. I will be recommending Courtney to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. I can't wait to set up another stay with her ASAP?”
About: I 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.

“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: 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.

I had my own pet sitting business back home and have 8+ years of experience caring for pets, with great references. I’ll be in Waco taking summer classes and would love a summer job doing what I love—caring for animals. I offer 2–3 drop-in visits a day to feed, walk, play, and check in on your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾 Since all of my summer classes at Baylor are online, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I can do morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits. I’m able to be consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications if needed—and always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I also keep a clean environment and make sure your home is respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, giving them lots of attention, playtime, and care while also being mindful of their boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and trusting environment for both you and your pet.
About: While I am not a professional pet sitter, I grew up around family dogs and am very comfortable caring for them. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“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!”
“Sarah takes such good care of Sage with their daily walks and always gives me great notes about how he does on those walks! We love Sarah and will recommend her to everyone!”

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: I’ve taken been responsible for taking care of my own dogs since I was 8 and have experience caring for dogs of every age. Right now I have a fur baby who is 3 years old. He was my first foster dog, and first "foster fail"! He is very spoiled and rightfully so, as he is my best friend. Currently, I have the most availability Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I try to update my calendar with open slots as often as I can! At this time, I am not offering boarding or doggy daycare, but I am free for walking and drop-ins. I love going on long walks and would love to bring your pup with me!
About: After I moved to Waco in 2017, I quickly built my Rover business to over 50 canine and feline clients. I currently have one dog, a rescued pit/cattle dog mix named Shya. She’s a little shy at first but loves people. She loves to play tug and catch, but is a fetch master! She enjoys other dogs in a one-on-one setting, especially when chasing each other is involved! I grew up with 4 cats, a turtle, and 5 dogs. I was 10 years old when I began sitting my neighbor’s dog. I’ve raised three dogs from puppyhood 4 months or younger. Three I trained from a year old. Each dog has been wonderful and taught me something different about canine care. To learn what made my dogs tick, I worked for 7 years with a top positive reinforcement behavioral dog trainer and learned a lot about canine body language, different training tools and approaches, and selecting quality food, treats, and toys. Send me a message and book your spot today! (I accept all breeds.) I currently work part-time with a fairly flexible schedule. Drop-in care is a great way for me to keep pet care in my life and offer my clients peace of mind. My clients love having their pets stay in the safety and comfort of their own homes. I tailor drop-in visits to the specific needs of each client and their pets and provide consistent and detailed communication throughout my time with their pets. I send lots of pictures and videos!
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: We are animal lovers, and have continued adding to our pack over the past 5 years. We began our Rover journey, offering boarding and day care in our home a few years ago. However, we paused our services as we adjusted to a move to Waco and were settling in with some new furry family members. We are now ready to resume services with drop in visits and dog walking. Over the years, we have cared for our friend’s and family’s pets while they are away, along with hosting dogs in our home. We have 4 dogs of our own, and are skilled in training, walking, administering medication, accommodating special dietary needs, bathing, keeping animals separated as needed, you name it. We would be honored to watch and treat your pet like one of our own. My wife works from home and I am available 3 days a week. So we will be able to keep a close eye on your pet and provide constant care for them. Because we have a flexible schedule, we will be able to take your dog on walks and potty breaks throughout the day. We love to give belly rubs, snuggles, and attention throughout the day! We will communicate well, be prompt, and will keep a watchful eye on our pet, as well as ensure safety at your home. Will follow detailed instructions if you have a certain feeding method, medication needed, or special details about walks. We will send photo updates throughout the time we are caring for your pet, don’t feel obligated to respond, just want to keep you updated with how they are doing.
“Tiffany was a lifesaver as a last-minute walker! She was prompt, friendly, and our dog Maple loved her. I received updates throughout the walk, which was reassuring - I'll definitely be requesting her services again & highly recommend her to others in need of a dependable walker.”

“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.”
“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.
