“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.”
“I received many photos and videos along with comments about Erin’s day. I was a little nervous with Erin being with several other dogs but I could tell Todd and Jacki worked with the dogs closely as they got acquainted. Erin came home settled and happy. I think she thoroughly enjoyed spending time playing with other dogs and having her brain worked as she navigated being with a pack. It was so good for her!”
“Jessica was super understanding and flexible. My Zoomie can super active and she made sure she had lots of run time and sent tons of pictures. Gave me updates and answered quickly”
“Erin was wonderful taking care of our Brady it was his first time with another other my husband and me. She gave us daily reports on what his day was like and how he acted with her family. We were really surprised when she said that he was playing with the cats. We would definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future.”
“Kenny was happy to be at Lacey’ home and family, super recommended. Thanks for taking care and make our kid feel like he was at home. Definitely Lacey is the person to go for boarding anytime.”
“Olly was well taken care of with Sarah and her family. I hit a bit of traffic coming home from the airport and she was flexible with the pick up time. I would definitely recommend Sarah!”
“10 out of 10 experience. Dustin sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the few days we’re on vacation. We never felt too far away or out of the loop from Roscoe(our dog). It was nice to also get a gauge prior to vacation to see how Roscoe would interact with them and their dogs as well via meet and greet! Roscoe came home bathed and even had a goodie bag. Thanks again Dustin!”
“Dena is such a great dog sitter! Her genuine care for the well-being of our anxious dog was clear. When we picked up our dog, she was happy, smiling and looking at Dena as if she has known her forever. Thank you again!”
“If I could give Dorothy 10 stars out of 5 I would. She was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs she sent pictures daily, multiple times a day. My dogs definitely were so comfortable they made themselves right at home. There were no issues or any concerns. My pups stayed for over a week and continued to eat and play with the rest of their furry friends. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone who has a friendly pup.”
“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.”
“We were very happy with Lucy’s stay with Jeanette. She sent us lots of pictures and updates during our trip. We have boarded Lucy before at a place with lots of other dogs. Lucy came home much more relaxed and happy after staying with Jeanette. We definitely would board Lucy with Jeanette in the future.”

“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.”
About: I don’t just pet‑sit — I love on your animals like they’re part of my own little pack.

Brachycephalic breed experience and understanding; cataract post-surgery care/boarding offered as well. 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: 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.

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!

“Max was great! This was my first time booking someone to house sit, and he was kind and patient while I asked all the questions. My cats loved him! They took to him immediately.”
“She is polite and does a good job keeping an eye on our cats while we are away. We appreciate her updates each time she visits and keeps to a consistent schedule which is important for us. She went the extra distance trying to troubleshoot a malfunctioning litter box.”
“Michaela always does a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we’re away. She’s communicative, helpful, and brings a level of comfort to us knowing our cats are in good hands. Thank you Michaela.”
“Erica watched my cat while I was gone for the week and she was great! Fed him and kept him company, and overall relieved any stress I had with leaving him home alone. Would highly recommend!”
“Taylor took amazing care of my fur baby Nami. I was anxious to leave my kitty because he had recently lost his fur brother. Everything was clean when we arrived back home and my kitty was happy but anxious to see me. The food and water bowls were still full from her last check-in. I received several pictures on each check-in day showing me my baby was doing fine, which helped me worry less. Thank you Taylor! We highly recommend Taylor for sure!”
“My cat Cookie loved hanging out with Madison! She kept me updated on everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their fur baby!”

“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!”
“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.”
“Abby was amazing and attentive with our 2 cats. She helped us out on short notice, and responded very quickly. I will most definitely be a repeat customer with Abby. Great quality of care, quick response time, and available for last minute bookings. 5 stars”
“Excellent care for my diabetic pup and her golden retriever brother. Very thorough and kept in contact regarding real-time weather changes, etc. Monitored cat siblings and helped with little extras as needed.”
“Leaving my dogs is always tough for me because I worry so much, but Angela was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment I met her, I could tell she was caring, attentive, and truly loves animals. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and sent me the best photo updates throughout the day. The extra time spent throwing the ball and playing in the yard meant the world to us. It made being away so much easier knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Paige provided excellent care for Eve. She was attentive, ensuring Eve was well-fed, played with, and comfortable while I was away for the evening. Her communication was spot-on, giving me peace of mind with regular updates. I would definitely trust Paige with Eve’s care again.”
“Adrienne has been so helpful! I needed to leave for overseas, and she was willing to take drop-in visits and care for my precious kitty for about 4 weeks. She’s super cooperative, and has great communication! My cat is not the most friendly to strangers, but I deeply appreciated her patience for him! Thank you Adrienne!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I lived on a farm and took care of every kind of animal there was! My neighbors and friends have relied on me to care for their fur babies while they were out of town. This included walking, brushing, cuddling, feeding, cleaning up after them and making sure they were happy while their favorite people were away! I truly love animals in all shapes and sizes and would consider it a blessing to be able to watch yours! I took care of a very elderly dog in the last stages of his life and was so happy to be able to be there to comfort him as he passed on. The rate listed on my site is for a 24 hour stay. I would only leave for a few short breaks. I sell Avon so I make my own schedule. This leaves me plenty of time to take care of your precious animals. I am able to go to your home as many times a day that you think is needed. I have a very elderly cat so I am unable to care for pets in my home until she passes. Once she does, then I can watch animals in my home. I am able to care for pets in their own homes.

“Needed a last minute doggie day care and they were so great! So glad they had room and our girl looks to have had a fabulous time with her new friends. Would book again if we can bring her with us on another adventure to the Waco area. Got a lot of great pics of her playing too. Reassuring - and adorable! A nice gesture for sure.”
“Dustin has been great with Louie both times he has been over for daycare! Louie always seems to have a wonderful time and is smiling in the pictures and when I pick him up. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the videos and pictures! They are very much appreciated and loved! 😀”

“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!! :)”
“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: Hi there! My name is Ashley! I have always loved animals since I was a child and have had several years of professional experience as well. I am currently working as the Foster Supervisor at Williamson County Regional animal shelter. I’d love to take care of your fur baby for you! I work from home as an esthetician, so your baby won’t be left alone for more than a hour or so. We have a Airbnb style tiny home for our stays on our property! Fenced yard, no other animals or kids. We like to keep things stress free. Please let me know if you’d like to stop by beforehand!
“My dog, Danji got a great care from his family. He sent the video of walking with her and throwing a ball for her. I can trust them, and will let him to take care of her again. Thank you so much, especially during this Thanksgiving break.”
About: I have been taking care of your pets for over 10 years. I have worked in everything from vet care to training so I have a unique look at the skills your pup needs to live a happy confident life. Our day starts at 6 am with a quick potty break before serving breakfast. From there we rotate playgroups and training throughout the day until 5 pm when dinner is served. Final potty breaks are typically around 8pm depending on the individual dogs needs. Puppies typically get a midnight potty break as needed. I have 2 large fenced in areas for monitored play groups. Dogs are never left unattended for any reason. Inside dogs are lounging with me or are in private kennels outfitted for their comfort and needs.
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: I have cared for pets and people for many years. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits & chickens, and I dream of someday having my own homestead. I have years of experience as a care taker for children & the elderly, but if I'm being honest I much prefer the company of pets over people! I've fostered feral cats and rescued runaway dogs. There is something so pure about the love of an animal. I have a daughter (3 years old now) who loves animals so much and gets so excited every time she gets to meet a doggie or kitty, so she truly loves coming along with me for these jobs! My schedule is very flexible at this time: I'm available for daytime visits and overnight care to spend time with and love on your fur-babies! 😻 I have a great deal of respect when visiting others homes. I always take special care to leave it cleaner than I found it and tidy up any messes as needed. A clean home is a happy home! Bedding in the crate needs to be laundered or litter box needs to be cleaned out? No problem! I can also water plants, take in the mail, put trash cans out, pickup packages from the porch, load the dishwasher or whatever may be needed! I want to be of service to you and your pet as much as I can during my time in your home. References available upon request.

“Another great sit and walking sessions with Erica! We always feel our 3 dogs are in great care with Erica and can tell from the photos that they are excited to see her and enjoy the time well spent while we are away. Great to have a reliable sitter and someone we can trust to care for our dogs.”
“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!”
“Angela took great care of my little girl. She asked great questions to make sure she knew how to care for Quinn best and during the weekend sent lots of pictures and updates. You could tell by the photos how much fun Quinn was having. Definitely would love to have Angela watch Quinn again!”
“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”
“Sara was absolutely wonderful from the moment I first messaged her. This was my first time using Rover, and no regrets at all. She was incredibly accommodating with her schedule and ours, took excellent care of our pups, and was just so sweet with them and us the whole time. 100% recommend and will certainly book with her again!! THANK YOU SARA!”
“Love Lacey! She continues to provide excellent care for both our dogs and always goes above and beyond to help us in emergencies. Her flexibility and understanding of situations has been lifesaving.”
“Ray has been such a huge helping hand walking our american staffy for us. She looks forward to their walks every morning, and he is fantastic at dealing with her high energy. Great communication and reliable. Highly recommend if you’re in need of help with giving your dog the exercise they need. Thank you Ray!”
“Maria was amazing!! Very punctual, great communication, and did exactly what we needed. I had last minute events come up and she took the appointments only a day out, which definitely saved us! Highly recommend.”

About: I have been caring for animals of all sizes my whole life. From small critters to the biggest babies, I am here to reliably care for your pets when life gets busy! I know life gets busy and our pet loved ones need attention and care through it all. I am reliable and available on short or long notice. I care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable and things are familiar. I find this helps pets have the best time while their humans are away or busy!
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!
“thank you so so much!! kim was perfect with my dog! so nice and came on such short notice and my dog was in a huge smile when he came back. 100% recommend and altai can’t wait for his next walk with her already!”
“A day trip took longer than planned, and I asked Abby for a truly last minute walk to give my dog a break. She answered the call and quickly came over. Truly great service, would use her again.”
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.
About: Pets have always been apart of my family, growing up with two dogs and 8 cats (indoor/outdoor) I simply could not imagine a life without them! I have confident knowledge in caring for senior pets (administering medicine, joint massages, mobility support) along with fresh faces in the world (potty training, teething, crate training, etc.). My best approach has always been patience and love. Not every pet knows what to do when their person leaves and that is OKAY! I am here to make sure they are comfortable and cared for, just as they are if you were home. I am currently a full-time doctorate student online so I spend 100% of my day at home. I am available to stay with your pups completely during the day giving them lots of attention and time outside, I’m sure we both will enjoy it!! I will likely spend nights (if applicable) in my home but can definitely be flexible to what suits your needs best. I have a dog park and dog wash station at my apartment and lots of outdoor space for them to roam. I like to make sure they are getting the care they need whether that be outside playing or inside getting cuddles, I’m here for it all!
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around pets for as long as I can remember! I’m someone who is patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always willing to learn what makes your pet feel the most comfortable and happy. When I’m taking care of your pets, my priority is making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means going on a walk, playing outside, getting some extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve! I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I also understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person taking care of your fur babies, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you know how they’re doing. I’m currently a student and would love to spend some of my free time caring for animals! I’m dependable, flexible, and excited to meet some new furry friends. 🐶🤍 I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pets and treat them like they’re my own! I have classes Monday–Friday, but my schedule varies throughout the week. Mondays I’m in class from 9 AM–5 PM, Tuesdays from 11 AM–12:30 PM, Wednesdays until 8 PM, Thursdays until 5 PM, and Fridays until 3 PM. I’m completely free on weekends and am also happy to work with the gaps between my classes during the week. I’m flexible and would love to find a schedule that works best for you and your pets! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I will make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including their walking routes, feeding schedule, medications, and any specific rules you have for your home or pets. I’m also very mindful of their environment and will keep doors and gates securely closed, watch for anything that could be unsafe, and never leave your pet unattended in an unfamiliar or risky situation. I’ll treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect that I would want someone to show my own home. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you’re away!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I lived on a farm and took care of every kind of animal there was! My neighbors and friends have relied on me to care for their fur babies while they were out of town. This included walking, brushing, cuddling, feeding, cleaning up after them and making sure they were happy while their favorite people were away! I truly love animals in all shapes and sizes and would consider it a blessing to be able to watch yours! I took care of a very elderly dog in the last stages of his life and was so happy to be able to be there to comfort him as he passed on. The rate listed on my site is for a 24 hour stay. I would only leave for a few short breaks. I sell Avon so I make my own schedule. This leaves me plenty of time to take care of your precious animals. I am able to go to your home as many times a day that you think is needed. I have a very elderly cat so I am unable to care for pets in my home until she passes. Once she does, then I can watch animals in my home. I am able to care for pets in their own homes.

“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.”
“I received many photos and videos along with comments about Erin’s day. I was a little nervous with Erin being with several other dogs but I could tell Todd and Jacki worked with the dogs closely as they got acquainted. Erin came home settled and happy. I think she thoroughly enjoyed spending time playing with other dogs and having her brain worked as she navigated being with a pack. It was so good for her!”
“Jessica was super understanding and flexible. My Zoomie can super active and she made sure she had lots of run time and sent tons of pictures. Gave me updates and answered quickly”
“Erin was wonderful taking care of our Brady it was his first time with another other my husband and me. She gave us daily reports on what his day was like and how he acted with her family. We were really surprised when she said that he was playing with the cats. We would definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future.”
“Kenny was happy to be at Lacey’ home and family, super recommended. Thanks for taking care and make our kid feel like he was at home. Definitely Lacey is the person to go for boarding anytime.”
“Olly was well taken care of with Sarah and her family. I hit a bit of traffic coming home from the airport and she was flexible with the pick up time. I would definitely recommend Sarah!”
“10 out of 10 experience. Dustin sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the few days we’re on vacation. We never felt too far away or out of the loop from Roscoe(our dog). It was nice to also get a gauge prior to vacation to see how Roscoe would interact with them and their dogs as well via meet and greet! Roscoe came home bathed and even had a goodie bag. Thanks again Dustin!”
“Dena is such a great dog sitter! Her genuine care for the well-being of our anxious dog was clear. When we picked up our dog, she was happy, smiling and looking at Dena as if she has known her forever. Thank you again!”
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
“If I could give Dorothy 10 stars out of 5 I would. She was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs she sent pictures daily, multiple times a day. My dogs definitely were so comfortable they made themselves right at home. There were no issues or any concerns. My pups stayed for over a week and continued to eat and play with the rest of their furry friends. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone who has a friendly pup.”
“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.”
“Sweet and enthusiastic sitter. Whole family loves dogs. They take great care of our girls. Luna and Nova had lots of fetch and snuggles. I was able to relax on our trip because I knew my dogs were taken care of.”
“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!”
“Samuel and family are AMAZING!! 🤩 BE-G was so well taken care of and looked to be having so much fun! Samuel is quick to respond, easy to work with, and sends awesome videos. BE-G is already looking forward to her next stay! Appreciate y'all so much! 😊”
About: Hi there! My name is Ashley! I have always loved animals since I was a child and have had several years of professional experience as well. I am currently working as the Foster Supervisor at Williamson County Regional animal shelter. I’d love to take care of your fur baby for you! I work from home as an esthetician, so your baby won’t be left alone for more than a hour or so. We have a Airbnb style tiny home for our stays on our property! Fenced yard, no other animals or kids. We like to keep things stress free. Please let me know if you’d like to stop by beforehand!
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 most days, 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 live in a cozy studio apartment above the garage on our farm, so the indoor space is modest, but dogs have plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time, walks, and exploring around the property. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and birds. I currently have a German/Dutch Shepherd mix. I work from home, so it’s easy for me to get out during the day. I love animals, and I’d love to help if needed! I work from home, so my schedule is fairly open from 8:00am-3:00pm. After that, my kiddo would be with me for any stops. Weekends are good when I’m available! I can feed, water, stay for playtime, whatever you desire! I love animals, and I know they need breaks throughout the day if people work long hours.
