“If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your dogs like they’re his own, James is absolutely the one. From the moment we connected, he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to my dogs as well. He kept in touch the entire time, sending updates that gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does because my dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. His setup is beautiful—plenty of safe, comfortable space indoors and outdoors for the dogs to enjoy. It honestly felt more like a little vacation for them than just boarding. I will be booking with James again and again—honestly, even when I don’t need boarding, just so my dogs can have a fun getaway with someone they love and trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Rebekah was an amazing sitter for our Dunkin! He loved her whole family and furry friends. We enjoyed the cute pictures of him throughout the week away and he was nothing but happy and tired when we returned. Rebekah and her husband are super kind as well and we appreciate them for allowing Dunkin to stay in their home!”
“Raffael took excellent care of my german shepherd puppy when I had to make a quick out of state work trip. Would definitely use his services again in the future!”
“As always, Veronica is the absolute best sitter in the state! Drove 4 hours away so she could watch my cat, she's the only person I trust with him, I've always revieved pictures at least 2x a day, I have a very shy cat and to see him roaming around having fun instead of hiding under the bed was amazing, Veronica and her husband are great people, there is nobody else I reccomend or trust!”
“Ariana did an amazing job with my Sexy. She made sure to update me on her behavior, comfort level, eating and naps. I’m never gonna use anyone else to care for my dog! 🙂. Ariana is, by far, The Best.”
“Our dog, Newmie, had the best time staying with Jennifer and her sweet dogs for the long weekend. We got plenty of pictures and updates showing us how much fun he was having, and how relaxed he seemed. I will definitely use her again next time we are up her way! Thank you for the great care and communication!”
“We wanted to share that we had an awesome experience with Erica and her husband Ernest while taking care of our sweet, lovable, and high energy Lab, Onyx. For an entire week, Erica took care of our baby as if he was her own. She sent us daily pictures and we felt very much at ease knowing he was being treated like family. We would definitely book with Erica again and would encourage anyone to do the same. You won’t regret it. Thank you Erica and Ernest for being so kind and careful with our sweet boy!”
“I highly recommend Morgan as a dog sitter! She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Ace was able to get comfortable very quickly and seemed right at home in her care. It was clear that she treated him with kindness and attention, and I already have him booked for his next stay.”
“My 14-year-old dog, Kobe, has Cushing’s disease and needs medication twice a day, along with a little extra care and attention. Maximo seemed very comfortable administering Kobe’s medication and caring for him during my six days away. He kept in touch throughout the stay and was always available to answer my questions, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear that Maximo takes his responsibilities seriously, and I’m grateful for the care he gave Kobe. I plan to ask him to keep Kobe again in October!”
“Our Sebastian and Pretzel had a great time with Suzanne and her family. We received near-daily updates and photos of them lounging on the sofa and exploring the backyard. She always responded quickly to my messages and was attentive to the details of their care. I would send our pups to board with her again.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my dog. She provided constant updates and communication, and she also sent me a picture everyday which I loved. Love the fact that she has a fenced in backyard so he could run around and still give me a piece of mind. All in all, 5-star option here with Cassandra, and I’d trust her with any pet! We’ll definitely be back soon :)”
“As parents of a new baby, we were very concerned about leaving our Marley anyway, however, based on the reviews of Langston we felt Marley would be in good hands. We did a visit before hand and Marley loved it and Langston was very good with her. During our trip, Langston kept us informed of how Marley was doing and sent plenty of pics. We give Langston a 5 star reveiw for caring for our baby.”
“Gracie was so well taken care of! They kept in communication daily. I cannot wait to take her back. She came back happy and exhausted from her vacation! I would absolutely recommend Lizdalia to take care of your pet anytime! She treated Gracie as if she were her own family and Gracie loved her. Could not ask for a better sitter. I promise you will be very pleased! Thank you so much for being there for us. We are blessed we found you!”
“Very attentive to your dog's needs and takes the time to learn your fur baby's personality. I have rebooked with Maurice to care for my dog again at the end of May.”
“My first experience with Christina was a great one. She's very nice and attentive and showed our dog so much love and care. I had no worries during our entire trip. Christina sent pictures, videos, and kept me informed on everything. I definitely recommend Christina to care for your dog!!!”
“Candace was absolutely impeccable! She went above and beyond and my puppy was treated like family right away. I received updates/ pictures throughout the day and reassurance that my puppy slept through the night. I will be using her continuously and recommending her to everyone I know. Absolute 10/10 service 💓”
“My two pups had a great time with Karmen. They came home so happy and tired! She provided great flexibility with the drop off and pick up schedule. They will definitely be back for the next visit!”

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.
