“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“I don't often need to board, so had some apprehension and lots of questions. Karmen made the entire experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. Picked up 2 very happy and healthy pups after 4 days of staying with Karmen.”
“She was amazing with my dog Sunny! She sent me pictures and videos throughout her stay so I wouldn’t be worried. I will definitely consider her in the future and refer her to everyone.”
“Erica and her husband are the best! It was our first time boarding our babies and they took very good care of them! They sent us feesback and photos everyday to keep us updated. Our babies had such a good time with them! And we will come back!”
“What an awesome person. Langston took great care of my Ridgeback and Cocker Spaniel in his home while I was away for a few weeks. Very communicative and sends pictures daily as well as giving frequent updates. Highly recommend for anyone that needs a dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Mali had a wonderful time! She even worked with socializing her with other dogs - she doesn't bark at them anymore! Thank you for taking good care of my baby!! 🙏🏽❤️”
“Lizdalia was literally heaven sent! Our previous sitter was not available and we decided to find a new one here on Rover to take care of our Kobe. Our fur baby is everything to us and Lizdalia made us feel comfortable, sent us daily updates and took care of Kobe as her own. I would highly recommend Lizdalia for your boarding needs! Thank you so much and we have found our forever sitter!”
“Jennifer took such good care of June. She would send us pictures everyday and June looked happy, comfortable, or playing with her friend Bobi. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that June felt comfortable where she was staying (she made herself right at home). I don’t even think she missed us lol”
“I’m pretty sure I have worse separation anxiety being away from my Sophie than she has being away from me. Kayla is so kind and I could tell within just a few minutes of meeting her that my sweet senior pup was in great hands. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your babies — and I definitely trust and recommend Kayla!”
“Jeronay was great with Chase. She was attentive to his needs and follows whatever instructions given to her for him. She cares for him as if it was her own pet. He actually didn't want to leave! Lol”

If i’m in the owners home , i would love to help around the house while watching the pets .
“It was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. The regular photo updates gave us peace of mind knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Melissa is sweet and caring. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her. Our baby was on her own puppycation.”
“Tobie is the absolute best when it comes to taking care of your baby. She watched our fig Roscoe for the first time for 5 days and the amount of pictures and videos she sent my kids loved it. My dog became her watch dog wherever she went he went. She will always have us as a client. THANK U AGAIN”
“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!”
“Candace was an outstanding sitter for my Max. She was so kind, sent frequent updates with photos and ensured he remained on his schedule. I’m so happy to have found her and will be rebooking for my future sitter needs!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waco on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 354 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Waco sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Waco landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waco home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
