“Tiffany did such a wonderful job taking care of my sweet cat, Pippin! I so appreciated the updates on him & the pictures she took. Pip wasn't even rattled when we got home; we knew he had been well cared for! Very appreciative for Tiffany!”
“Lexi did a fantastic above and beyond job taking care of our 3 dogs while we were gone. They are all needy in their own ways so they are quite alot, but she managed them so well and was very communicative about their care and feelings.”
“It’s like we never left! Alicia followed every detail precisely, was dependable, and very respectful of our house and cats. She figured out all the nuances of each of my three cats’ personalities and needs. She communicated w us through each visit which was so appreciated and eased my stress. It became clear, that her priority was to be of service- not to just get a job done. I really could go on and on. But coming home to calm cats, house intact, n the peace of mind she gave us each day was priceless to us. I can speak from experience of many failed pet sitter experiences, Alicia is the best! We will be a return customer!!!!”
“I am a helicopter dog mom who just moved to Richmond and can no longer let my dogs out on my lunch break. Rachel has been the best dog sitter I could ask for. I love my updates on the boys each day and trust that they are in the best care each day while I am away.”
“We have used Tyler on numerous occasions. He is always our go to when we need our animals cared for. He takes great care of our animals and always goes on the long walks our dog takes him on when she is running around our property lol 10/10 recommend!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages. What sets me apart is that I provide a loving family environment where dogs are treated like members of the family. My home is full of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and we take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering most basic medications, caring for senior dogs, and helping reinforce routines and good behaviors. My two kids also love dogs and enjoy giving them extra attention and playtime, helping create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every furry guest. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for in a safe, loving home where they will receive plenty of attention and affection. 🐾 I am currently in nursing school only 2 days a week and my husband works for a healthcare company from home so someone will always be there for your pup. I treat animals as if they are my own children. I will keep them safe and satisfied while you are away so you can have a peace of mind wherever you go.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life. It’s one of my greatest passions and most of my life I would dogsit for anyone who would let me growing up. I would love to make sure all of the animals are safe and well cared for while their owners are gone. I currently go to school and work part time, but there is most certainly time for me to fit in helping these families with their animals when they need it. I do live in an apartment complex but I have many years of experience with walking dogs of all kinds so I could walk it when needed. As for as toys, a crate or bedding at my apartment, I don’t have much of that, but could get some if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, I love playing, walking and just handing out with them! Also i know the hardships it takes. I am a very available person, I do have a part time job but other than that I’m very free. I usually work a few hours every other day. I love going on runs which I enjoy very much to take a dog on, this could be a short walk or a hike! I’m very active but always love bringing animals with me even if it’s just to get a pup cup or play at a park!!! I currently have 3 dogs, and I watch my sister dog on occasion. My house has a fenced yard of an acre letting the 3 of them run freely. I’m very much for making an outside environment for dogs. But also believe in rest time. I usually spend time watching tv with my dogs or just laying with them
About: I’ve had the responsibility of taking care of over 20 pets of my own since I was young. I have a deep love for animals and understand that each dog has its own unique pet care needs. I have the most experience with small dogs as I have one of my own. I am not afraid to work with dogs who pull on leashes. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I’m a college student but my schedule is very open and flexible. I come home often between class and don’t typically go more than 2hrs away from home. If you have questions you can message me directly I am always open to figuring something out! If a dog is boarding in my house he/she will get lots of loving attention and frequent walks :) I would like to meet the client and pet together for the first time before a service is provided. This way I can ensure the safety and familiarity of both parties, as well as learn about any important information about the dog I may need to know so everyone feels comfortable :)
“After some strike-outs with other pet sitters who only stay for the bare minimum and do the bare minimum, I found Terry on Rover. Perfect match. I spent the holidays worry free for the first time in a long time. Even when there was a small upset, Terry had everything under control. I could fill the page with a range of specifics, but to save time, I had no complaints. The house was in great condition when I returned. My indoor/outdoor cats were actually at home waiting for me. It is a relief to know there is a great pet care professional out there (with professional being the critical point!).”
“Madison was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and respectful of our family and our sanctuary. Thank You for the peace of mind knowing our Kitty was in good hands while we were away.”
“Elena is amazing! She's very caring, kind and patient! She did a great job taking care our fur baby, Sydney. Elena sent so many wonderful pictures and updated us frequently. We trust her 100% and highly recommend Elena. We will rebook with her again! Thank you, Elena!!!”
“Candace does a terrific job with our boys! We have a puppy who is exceptionally strong, a middle child whose more laid back and an older guy who requires extra attention—I can always trust that she provides the care needed plus a little extra love!”
“When I was planning a trip out of town and my original sitter fell through, Heather was able to make availability short notice. She took excellent care of my kitty, giving me updates and pictures every day. She definitely went above and beyond and I felt so much better about being away knowing that she was taking care of my old man cat.”
“We had a meet & greet with Cindy previously and really appreciated the way she interacted with Willow. Last night we had her do 2 drop ins and she sent pictures both times. It was so easy to set up as Cindy was very quick to respond. Our evening away was worry free thanks to Cindy. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Selah did a fantastic job. This was our first time using rover and she did not disappoint. She kept me well informed of messes, updates and earned our dogs trust. She even picked up our trash cans when the wind blew them over. Highly recommend using her to care for your fur baby.”
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. My friends and family have relied on me to watch and care for their best friends during overnight trips and weeks away from home! I’m currently working part time. My schedule depends on my clients needs! I’m usually open Monday through Friday depending on the week. My schedule is first come first serve. I’m willing to work with you to make your pet comfortable! I have a nice walking trail right next to my home to take them to! I also have a friendly little fur baby to keep you animal company. If I am watching your animal in your home, I will make sure to enforce any rules and provide play time with your pets in and outside of the house!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Waco on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 634 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waco stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
