“Omggg 10/10. Very convenient and helpful. Ariana was able to take my Flossy on a late night when I had an unexpected trip. Ariana was able to accommodate and modify the booking with my weird schedule. She listened to her food needs & informed me everything going on with her & updates either pictures. Definitely see us booking again in the near future if need be.”
“This was a wonderful experience for me because I was Larry leaving Louey with anyone! He was well taken care of and came home exhausted, which is exactly what you want to see! The family was wonderful and we will definitely be using them again in October, but maybe sooner for a play date!”
“Jeronay, was great with Bruno. Communication was excellent, from the meet and greet I knew she would be amazing with Bruno. I received pictures and updates daily. I had a worry free vacation. Thank you.”
“Rebekah and her family were amazing. I give them 5 Stars. My Dog was with her family not alone. We received pictures everyday. I would use them again and again.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter & I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Candace again. She answered all questions I had and seems to really care about the pets in her care. She did an awesome job with providing updates and photos throughout his stay. Thanks again!”
“Serria was wonderful and took exceptional care of our baby girl. We were concerned about how Zhuri would do with other animals, especially cats, but she got along well with Serria’s two dogs and cat. Serria sent daily photos of Zhuri bonding and relaxing with her eldest dog. One picture showed Zhuri outside in her spacious, fenced yard, where they had plenty of room to run and play. It was clear Zhuri felt comfortable in her home. Serria cared for our sweet girl as if she were her own. She was kind, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free. Zhuri was in excellent hands with someone who clearly loves animals, and we truly appreciated the care and attention she received. Highly recommend!”
“Veronica was so amazing!!!! Our Sire has not been with another person in so long and gets anxiety being away from us, since being at Veronica’s house he had a bit of a Rough time getting used to things but Veronica was very well accommodating to his needs! As well as the care of others fur babies! She ensured he had a great stay and we’re so grateful! I love how everything is catered to our Pets and she is very informative along the way with pictures and updates! I will hands down use Veronica’s services going forward!”
“Susan was fantastic!! I had never left my dogs with a sitter before. She was more than a sitter, she truly cared about my furry family. She sent pics everyday and made it so much easier to be separated from Ivy and Jack. I went on vacation and it was so nice not to have to worry about them. She only takes one family at a time so that was a big plus as they got lots of attention. She even wanted a smooch before they left! I highly recommend Susan!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Kevonna! They were incredibly accommodating with my last-minute schedule changes and sent photo updates throughout the day. My puppy can be anxious with new people, but she was completely at ease and actually looked disappointed when I came to pick her up! Kevonna clearly treated her like their own dog—they even took the best photos of our puppy that we've seen! Their home was clean, secure, and set up perfectly for dogs. Will definitely book again!”
“She is absolutely amazing! Do not hesitate to book with her. She was super accommodating and punctual with pickup. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire stay, and my dogs LOVED her. I have two large crazy dogs that are a handful and she was perfect with them. You can tell she is experienced and knows how to handle them. She let them play, monitored them & let me know about an ear issue one of them had, how much they ate and when, and what they did throughout the day. Her dogs were very friendly and everyone got along great! They were super happy and tired when we picked them up, I know they had a good time. We will be repeat clients for sure!!!”
“Max took wonderful care of our sweet old girl! He kept us updated as any problem arose. He sent pictures to keep us at ease. We will definitely be booking with him again!! Thanks for a relaxing weekend away Max!!”

I now help out in treatment and monitoring in surgery. I have been employed there going on four years.

“Wanesa and her family were amazing sitters! From drop off to pick up, I had no worries about them taking care of my boy Enzo. She sent me pictures and updates daily and was accommodating when my pick up was later than originally intended. 10/10, definitely recommend!”
About: I am recently retired and have an older dog who has retired from long walks. Our family would enjoy some new pet friends and would like to lend a hand to a neighbor. My schedule is wide open so I can adapt to the needs of your four-legged best friend. Our Homeowner’s Association offers safe sidewalk accommodations for regular walking. We have plenty of open space within our home and allow our pet to roam freely. I am able to accommodate any crating or feeding schedule provided and love to share photos with status updates. My son recently graduated from high school and is also very hands on with pet care and clean up needs. We would love to offer love to your pet for any vacations or extended times away. We offer our dog lots of affection. He treats his backyard like a dog park and enjoys playing catch. He gets along very well with well with other dogs.

97% of sitters in Waco can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waco home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Waco.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Waco sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
