About: I have owned fur babies a majority of my life and love caring for them. For the 3 years, I volunteered as an in home foster for a local dog rescue and have experience with anything from the shy/timid personalities to the energetic playful personalities that these babies have. I have my own dogs who welcome other 4 legged visitors and enjoy running around the house and yard playing....but they also enjoy cuddling and nap time. I have a fenced area in my front yard where they can enjoy fresh air and lay in the sunshine. Your pets will be loved on and pampered while here. I have experience in giving medications as I have had to medicated some of the fosters that’s i have had. I do have crates available for those who need it. I work from home so they would not be left alone for long periods and would be taken outside frequently. I currently work from home so the fur babies would not be left for long periods. My daughter lives with me and helps care for the dogs. I have 2 small fenced areas in my yard but I do not leave any dog outside alone. I also have fences and crates available for inside for nights and when I have to run errands.

About: I have over 12 years of experience in dog care, with a strong background in grooming, vet assisting, training, and behavioral work. I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences. I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.

About: Love & caring for animals isn't for just anyone & everyone. It takes dedication, love, knowledge & patience. My Aunt has a farm that I spent most of my summers growing up. So my love for all animals grew even more from dogs & cats to goats, horses, pigs, horses and my favorite, Rabbits! I was dog walking bathing,sitting and just loving them around age 12. Whatever my neighbors,family & friends needed for their furr babies I would be there to love & care for them. I do have some training abilities but no expert. I know how hard it is to leave your babies & I promise to always communicate, video chat with your furr baby whenever you need. Any special requests your pets needs I'll be there for them. ***IMPORTANT**Please Read***Future clients to know ***I also base my fees on miles driven to clients home, large breed dogs etc... So the price can be adjusted if needed ... Other Example.... Overnight stays, walking, bathing etc . For reasons of me having to leave home to run errands, pay bills etc... I do prefer dogs to be crate trained if possible. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs... Bella she's half Mastiff/German Shepherd. Bella & Bear are both create trained. Bear is a Pomeranian that belongs to my daughter. 1 cat "Sparky" Tabby that thinks he's King!!! Currently I do my own schedule, and . So my time will hopefully be available when your furr babies need. I do have other side jobs I do. So I can work around most things for care of your furr baby. (Rates can change depending on the mileage.) I have new fenced in backyard. 1 female dog Bella. She is half mastiff/German Shepherd & rescued her as a pup. Then 1 Tabby Cat Sparky who thanks he's the king! Pomeranian named Bear that behind to my daughter.

About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic care, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care is naturally set into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play time, and check-ins to ensure every pet gets consistent care. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to exercise, enrichment, and cuddles, while afternoons include potty breaks, supervision, and rest time. My schedule is flexible and intentionally designed so I can give every animal the attention, and time they deserve. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, supervised, and comforting environment set to their needs. I maintain clean spaces, provide cozy rest areas, and offer play time. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine uninterrupted. I handle feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and any specific instructions exactly as provided. I also respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on communication, safety, and reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel calm, comfortable, and understood.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Waco

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Waco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Waco. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Waco after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
