Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!

I recently hired Lauren to care for my two parrots and cat while we were away for the holiday, and I was very impressed with her service. She communicated regularly and ensured my pets were well taken care of throughout our absence. When a temperature alarm went off in my home, she responded immediately and handled the situation with great professionalism. My pets were happy and healthy upon my return, and the house was just as I left it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive pet sitter.

Emmalyn is the best. She is caring, loving and absolutely amazing. What i love the most about her is how precise she is with my over detailed instructions. I have been traveling worry free for the past year and a half thanks to her.

About: Hi, my name is Taylor! I am a recent high school graduate who will be attending NC State University in the fall to study Animal Science. I have past experience with pet sitting, often for longer than a week. Along with that, I have over a year of experience shadowing at a local veterinary hospital. I also have experience taking care of my own fur babies at home! I would love to spread love and care to your pets if you’ll have me. Please reach out if interested! I currently work part-time at Chick-fil-a, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I have a flexible and light schedule which allows me to dedicate a lot of my time to the animals around me. When at a client’s home I love to curl up with a good book and a sweet cat. I also enjoy taking pups on walks and playing fetch or tug with them. I am always down to cuddle with any furry friend.

Our anti-social kitty likes her better than us! Allison is incredible!!! From the moment we met her for a meet & greet I knew she was perfect. We felt 100% comfortable with her coming in to our home, and knew our cats were in great hands. She’s responsible, great at communicating with us, and so sweet. She must be a cat whisperer because our shy kitty not only snuggled her day 1, but even let Allison rub her belly! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful professional do checkins/feeding while we were away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family members, friends, friends of friends and strangers for years! I grew up with dogs and cats in my household. I have experience with multiple animals at one time in addition to strict diet and medication schedules. I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to accommodate your animals needs at any given time! My biggest concern as a pet owner is leaving my pet with someone that doesn’t love my animal as much as me. I can assure you that your pet will be the center of my attention when I’m with them. I believe in treating people the way they want to be treated and I’ll be sure to make your animal feel loved while you’re away. As a fully remote worker, pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I am available to care for your animal as needed, providing responsible and attentive care. As a remote worker, I offer pet care services in the client's home. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care and meet their pet's specific needs.

She arrived right on time for her visits, sent so many cute pics, and kept me updated on Penny the whole time. I will def be booking again next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in the area!

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,027 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waco. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.

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.
