“Jessica is nothing short of AWESOME! This was the first time Finn has stayed anywhere overnight so I was a little nervous, but no need... Finn absolutely LOVES Jessica! He gave her hugs and smiles when we arrived and when I picked him up. Seeing him happy makes me happy and gives great comfort knowing he's in good hands :). Oh and he happened to be on medication during his stay and she made sure he took it no problem. Jessica will ABSOLUTELY be my number one person anytime Finn needs a sitter.”
“My dogs had plenty of socialization with other dogs and people. They had room to run and chase outside. Dustin is very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. Dogs had fun during their stay with Dustin.”
“Amazing communication and fantastic experience to work with. My dog had a wonderful time, and the sitter went above and beyond to provide pictures, videos, and updates on how he did. 100/10”
“Lacey always takes such great care of our sweet pup! He required a little extra care this time and she was amazing at keeping him well cared for and us in the loop about how he was doing.”
“Sweet and enthusiastic sitter. Whole family loves dogs. They take great care of our girls. Luna and Nova had lots of fetch and snuggles. I was able to relax on our trip because I knew my dogs were taken care of.”
“Was able to sit for the weekend last minute luckily and was absolutely awesome. Sent picture updates of my happy dog and was flexible on drop off and pick up. Will definitely be using again!”
“My dogs absolutely love Andrea! I’m almost jealous at how excited they get when they get to go to her house. Lol! If you are looking for a dog lover to love on your pup/s while out of town, Andrea is your girl! Her house is a dog party house!”
“Celeste was very friendly and responsive when wanting an update on how Coco was doing. She was very thorough with questions about Coco's eating schedule, walking habits, and the little details on how she acts. She took her on walks plenty of walks. Also, can't thank her enough, she allowed me to extend Coco stay for an extra day due to my brother wanting to stay out of town longer.”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing with our 6 month old puppy, Bear. She sent videos and pictures everyday during our week-long boarding, giving us such a peace of mind. We will be using her anytime we go out of town, highly recommend!!”
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs
About: I have had dogs my whole life & miss having dogs since I have been in grad school at baylor. I frequently dog sit for members at my church and I am looking for more clients! I am currently a full time PhD. student, but I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am able to set a lot of my own hours around what i need to do for pet care. i do not have a fenced in yard, but i am more than willing to take dogs on long walks through campus or go to the dog park if desired!
“Amazing sitter, My Zoey is very needy. Her and her family welcomed my baby with open arms. I received beautiful pictures daily and of her walks. Made my vacation so much easier to enjoy. Will certainly use her again.”
“We are so happy to have found Sarah to take care of Rambo and Ladybug. It was a great relief to find someone who had such a safe and happy environment for our doggies. She and her husband were so friendly and made us feel at home when we went for a meet and greet before our trip. Sarah kept up updated with reports and photos while we were away and Rambo and Ladybug looked so content and happy. Sarah's two fur babies are the smartest and most gentle-natured dogs ever. I will look no further than Sarah to keep Rambo and Ladybug when we take another trip.”
“Bethany was fantastic! My dog hank loved her and she provided pictures and updates of his stay. She even extended his stay for two days last minute and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. 10/10 would recommend”
“Starlet did an amazing job! She updated me frequently and my dogs seemed to have had a great time. 100% will book again for future trips to Waco! Her home is in a lovely neighborhood as well, which is a huge bonus for me! She had a privacy fenced yard and I felt that my pups were safe with her at her house!”
“Jeannette is amazing with my dog! This was maybe the third or fourth time that she dog sat my baby and she takes great care of her and Sasha loves her so much!! I always have peace of mind whenever Sasha stays with Jeannette!”
“Britney watched my 2 schnauzer puppies for 5 days. She offered a meet and greet beforehand which was a kind gesture. My puppies were not yet completely potty trained so I knew they would be a handful. I was a little nervous but she reassured me that they would be fine. She communicated with me daily. Ioriginally booked a late pickup but Our flight was late so I wasn't able to pick that evening. Britney kindly agreed to pick up the next morning. I won't hesitate to use her again.”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing! She stepped in last minute to watch Potato, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. She treated him like one of her own, and it was clear that both she and her family gave him lots of love and attention. Potato came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone I can trust with my pup, especially on short notice. I would absolutely recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Potato!”
“I actually got recommended to Cheri through a friend! Truly the best in the business. I live in Waco and would drive hours to get to this woman, if I had to! I felt so beyond safe leaving my little bunny rabbit, Sefid, with her and am wary, typically, to allow anyone to watch her! She treated Sefid like her own so much so, that I was having a hard time getting her ready to leave! Thank you again, Cheri ? You’re stuck with me!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waco
Jamelah was patient with us and our Belgium Sheppard. This was our first time using Rover with this pet. By the time we returned, she had our guard dog playing with her pet. We were thrilled. I appreciate her flexibility with each pet. She didnt require a crate, and allowed our dog to sleep on a rug by the bed. Exactly like she sleeps at home. We received pics and she responded right away to needy dog parents :). We will aways use Jamelah if she is available.
Celeste took amazing care of our pets, Nero and Moose, while we were out of town. This was our first experience traveling and leaving our pets in someone else's care, so naturally we were a little nervous. Celeste immediately put us at ease with her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. Our travel schedule ended up being somewhat uncertain, and she was incredibly flexible and understanding throughout the entire process. She was so easygoing and accommodating, which made a stressful situation much easier for us. Knowing our pets were in good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. Nero and Moose were both well cared for, and it was clear that Celeste treated them with the same attention and affection she would if they were her own pets. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. When we visit Waco again, we will absolutely be booking with Celeste, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and high-quality pet care!

Niaema and her partner are the sweetest! Our dog Rocco loves it there and they have the most adorable furbabies. They were so understanding with my booking mistake and still took Rocco in even when it was inconvenient for their plans which I appreciate so much. Booking again in the future❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waco on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 92 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 TX 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.
