She is very attentive to Duke and has treated him like her own since the first night. She is very flexible which is a bonus for me as I am active duty military (100% recommend). We have definitely found our Washington sitter in Kayle and will continue to book with her for as long as she will have us!!

Cat caregivers near you - Waller
“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my cat. She has such a warm and assuring presence that was the perfect fir for my shy gal. Everything was in order when I arrived back home from my trip, and her daily updates assured me my pet was safe and well cared for. Thank you for your kindness!”
“Mollay is amazing! We felt like our boy was in amazing hands while we were away! She was super commutative while we were gone and sent lots of pictures and texts! Definitely would love to have her back again!”
“Soleil did a really great job looking after my two babies, she spent a lot time playing with them, my babies loved playing with her and looked very energetic. Thank you for taking care of them! Highly recommended!”
“The BEST as always. Maria (&her cute assistant) always treat our cat as family. We have been traveling so much this past year and we always feel the most at ease when they are there.”
“Brianna is fantastic. This was my first time using Rover so I was really nervous about leaving my girls with a stranger but the stress of boarding them is too hard on them. Brianna dropped in to care for them twice a day while I was on vacation. Each visit she sent me a very thorough report and a bunch of pictures. She even crawled under the bed to send me pictures of my shyest cat. It was so reassuring knowing they were being looked after so well. I would absolutely use Brianna’s services again and whole heartedly recommend her to friends and family.”
“Paul did an amazing job for us. We used him for several months to feed two cats in a probate. Paul would be my first choice if a similar situation arises again.”
“This was our second time having Stephanie care for our two young cats in our home, and once again she did an amazing job. I felt completely at ease traveling, knowing our cats were in such good hands. Communication was fantastic — I received lots of photos and updates, which was so reassuring. She also went above and beyond by helping me handle a refrigerator issue while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Andrhu is awesome. I work long hours and my cat has never been a solo pet before now, I realized she was stressed out while I’m away for work. I found Andrhu and he’s been amazing for her. She isn’t desperately meowing when I come home anymore - and he makes sure she’s fed and sends me picture updates every time he sees her. I can’t tell you how awesome it is to come home to a calm pet instead of a desperate & stressed out pet. So thankful for Andrhu. He’s super responsive and flexible, always communicating with me about when he’s going over. It means a lot in a time when I need extra help and my fur baby does too.”
“Lisa was great! Got the best pictures of my kitty’s every visit, communicated if she was gonna be a few minutes early/late and why. She even let me know on her last visit when I ran out of a kitten food so I could get more on my way home”
“My shy cats love Rhonda! She respects their space and lets them come out to interact and play when they're ready. Rhonda has watched our boys twice now and she's earned their trust quickly. My senior cat who hides from new people waits for Rhonda at the top of the stairs when he hears her come in!”
“Jessica took excellent care of my kitties! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best care for their pets! She messaged me everyday, sent pics and video, and followed all of my instructions. I highly recommend her, and plan on using her again if she's available for my next trip!”
“Micayla is reliable and very communicative. She checks on my cat when I'm out of town. I always feel that my home is safer when she visits everyday, and I know my cat is well taken care of and well loved when she comes over. We love Micayla, and highly recommend her!”
“Another great week with Kyley! Lots playing, snuggles and fun. They even let me know about a wasp nest I hadn't seen so I could get it taken care of. It's small details like this that set her apart and gave me a lot of peace that my home and pets are well taken care of.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life since a very young age! My first cat was an outdoor cat we inherited from our neighbors when I was 3. She found her way to our house and never left. I was the only one that could touch her and hold her. I love doing pop-ins for kitty clients, I have 3 cats at home that won’t allow kitties to spend the night with us.

“Dylan was very responsive and clearly cares for the pups in his care. He watched over our young puppy and shared lots of updates and photos to assure us throughout the day!”
“Val is amazing! My girl can be shy but opens up at Val's with her new doggy pals. She loves staying with her and I always feel at ease when I drop her off. Val has an amazing system for her doggy daycare that works and is always communicative, accommodating, and great with my baby girl! Highly recommend and will be booking again! Thanks, Val!”
“Brittany has been absolutely amazing with Taz! He always comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for, which gives us so much peace of mind. On top of being so great with him, Brittany has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which we appreciate more than she knows. We’re so thankful to have found someone we trust with Taz and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Kate has been fantastic with Mabel! She sends regular pictures and videos through out the day so that we can see our pups play! Our dog is always super happy to go to Kate’s and loves all the other pups there. We would highly recommend Kate for any dog sitting, walking or regular day care and we will continue to use her in the future! If we could give more than 5 stars we would!”
“Priscilla is great! Lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and was really flexible with pickup and drop off times. My dog fell asleep in the car within 5 minutes on the drive home so they got lots of energy out.”
“Sherry was absolutely wonderful with my two little dogs. She was extremely flexible with my schedule and excellent at communicating. I felt very safe knowing my dogs were with her and would recommend her to anyone.”

“My dog had a small incident where he attempted to run away and odalys and her husband handled it so well even got injured making sure he didn’t run away I truly can’t thank both of these two for how they handled the situation and how professional they are and will definitely recommend them to people”
“Khaytlen is amazing! We get great pictures and videos throughout the day and our puppy is very happy with her. She is very knowledgeable and gives us great feedback on our puppy’s progress . We feel completely confident leaving our puppy in her care. Thank you Khaytlen!”
“Paul accepted my last minute booking request. I had to adjust my drop off/pick up times & he was flexible with that. My dog Eddie can have a bit of anxiety when he isn't with his family. When he was picked up he was very relaxed & happy; so I know he was well taken care of. I will definitely use Paul again.”
“Loc did an amazing job watching Ragnar. He communicated to me about how Ragnar was doing throughout the day by sending videos and photos. Highly recommend Loc. We also asked for Ragnar to be groomed and we are so impressed by the cut Loc did. Thank you so much!”
“Toby had such a great experience with Dianna. Communication was outstanding from start to finish, and I really appreciated all the videos and photos throughout the day. It made it so easy to feel comfortable and know exactly how he was doing. She kept me updated on everything, including his feeding, potty breaks, and overall activity, which I loved. It’s clear she pays close attention and truly cares about the dogs she’s watching. I’m so happy we found Diahann and feel confident Toby is well taken care of with her. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and easy, which made the whole process even better. Overall, an excellent experience and I can’t wait to bring Toby back!!”
“Sabrina has been incredibly accommodating of my inconsistent schedule which is a huge help. Piper loves her time with Sabrina and friends, she is always excited to go back and comes home happy and tired.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Waller
“Andrhu is such a wonderful walker for our family, our girls really see him as a friend and playmate. He is so caring and really keeps our girls happiness and safety in the forefront if each visit. We feel such comfort knowing they are safe with him and that they have a great time playing, exploring and getting the daily stimulation we can't always provide when we are working”
“Megan was awesome! She was super flexible with my last minute booking and Benson absolutely loved her. I got updates while they walked and he looked like he was having fun the entire time. I would absolutely re-book with her!”
“Another great walk with Paul! I genuinely can’t believe how quickly he was able to build rapport with our dog Luna and get her to walk with him. She settled down very quickly and even listened to his commands. He clearly knows how to handle big dogs with quirks!! Very much appreciate his responsiveness, flexibility, and calmness.”
“Mollay went above and beyond this time for me! Starting with the booking, this was super last minute, but she was flexible and worked with me to get my dog walked. After that, she got some really cute pictures! When she made it back to my house, she even watered my plants and said hello to my rabbit for me! What a great experience all around. She is my go to!”
“It was nice to be able to rely on Brooklyn for help with my dog and cats. I received a prompt review of the visit along with pictures. Definitely will book again!”
“If I could give more stars I would. Priscilla walks my three dogs Monday-Friday every week and always has amazing communication, always on time, sends me lots of photos and she even takes my girls on runs, which is just above and beyond what I would ever expect a dog walker to do. She’s great.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, growing up with them and continuing to care for dogs for friends and others over the years. I’m also the proud owner of an 8-year-old Newfoundland/Collie mix, so I’m very comfortable with larger dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection. However, I also grew up with dachshunds and love the little ones just the same. One of my strengths is reading a dog’s personality and responding to what they need. I’m naturally affectionate with friendly, social dogs, but I’m equally comfortable giving shy or timid dogs the space and time they need to feel safe. I never want to force an interaction—I’d rather let a dog build trust at their own pace. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. Communication is also very important to me. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates when someone else is caring for your pet, so owners can expect me to be responsive and keep them informed. For dogs staying with me, I have a fenced backyard and live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to provide outdoor time, exercise, and walks throughout the day. My pup, Drogo, is very kind and loves other dogs and he's especially gentle with the little ones. He can be a little grumpy with puppies, so that is a case-by-case basis (and I would encourage a meet and greet beforehand). Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether your dog wants walks and playtime, lots of pets, or simply a calm person nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel comfortable. I have a very open and flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in around other commitments. Your dogs will be my priority. My flexibility also allows me to be responsive to owners and accommodate changes when possible. I want both you and your dog to feel like they’re getting plenty of attention—not like they’re just another appointment on my calendar. Safety, trust, and making your dog feel comfortable are always my priorities. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and quirks, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for yours rather than assuming every dog needs the same kind of care. For dogs staying in my home, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and live in a very walkable neighborhood for regular walks and exercise. My dog, Drogo, is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but I think introductions are important. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone can get comfortable and we can make sure our dogs are a good fit—especially with puppies or dogs who may need a little more time to adjust. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both your space and your dog’s established routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding meals, walks, medications or special care instructions, doors and gates, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to a dog’s body language. Some dogs want to be best friends immediately, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to let them set the pace. And of course, communication is a big priority for me. I’ll be responsive and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while they’re in my care.

“My old girl took an instant liking to Lauren- which is very rare, indeed! Lauren went above and beyond on her first walk for us; I am so thrilled I’ll be able to count on our “baby” being in good hands while we’re away!”
About: I grew up with dogs and even though cats are more my speed now, I still love to get down in the dirt to play with the puppos. I'm currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to love up on and take care of your precious four legged child. Keeping to your pet's set routine is the best way to care for your pets. It will help with the separation anxiety and worry your pet will feel in your absence.

“This was our first stay on rover and it went really well. My dog Hank is a nervous guy, but he was happy and playful when I picked him up so he must have had a good time. Since I’m an over protective dog mom I am relieved to find someone he and I both feel comfortable with. Haylee was very fast to respond when I checked in to see how things were going. We’ve already booked again for another stay! Thanks!”
