“Cassidy was great with our pups! We needed someone last minute to come and check in on our dogs when we went out of town, and we’re so thankful to have found Cassidy on Rover! She took great care of our dogs and house, gave them plenty of potty breaks, and made sure one of our dogs got her meds twice a day! And we loved getting the pictures and updates of each visit through the app. We would definitely recommend Cassidy for your dogs sitting needs, and hope to be able to use her in the future again!”

About: Hi! I’m Jeannette, and I bring eight years of pet-sitting experience to the table. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I love making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home, so your pets will always have plenty of attention and company throughout the day. My dog Theo is a friendly and playful pup who loves meeting new friends and will happily keep your dog entertained. We also have a fenced backyard, perfect for outdoor play and exercise! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I’d be happy to answer any questions and can’t wait to meet your pupper! Working from home allows me to provide flexible and attentive pet care. I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, ensuring they get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I follow detailed instructions, provide plenty of attention, and ensure their safety.

About: I love animals. To add to that, dogs and cats love me and typically come up to me for love and attention. I also talk to them like I would a baby.. that's not weird, right? I work full time 6 days, but typically have 3 consecutive days off, so I can give your pets the attention they need as long as you need it. I can stop by in the evenings on workdays or anytime on my days off. My dog and cats are all indoor pets. They do not step foot outside sadly. They are very delicate to the environment here in Texas. I feed them 3 times a day and they receive fresh water.
“Krista was awesome, she loved on our babies so much and shared so many pictures. We will definitely request her again. This was our first experience using Rover and it was so easy. Thank you Krista, for accepting our last minute booking. It was reassuring to know our pups were in good hands.”

“I’ve booked Allison to do drop-in visits for our cat twice now. She’s very reliable and communicative. We’ve been happy with her care of our cat and would book with her again.”

“Briana was great! I appreciate her willingness to get to know my reactive dog as he comes off aggressive at first with strangers but is a sweet heart when he warms up to them. I was confident I was leaving him in great hands while I had to go out of town.”

“Excellent care for my diabetic pup and her golden retriever brother. Very thorough and kept in contact regarding real-time weather changes, etc. Monitored cat siblings and helped with little extras as needed.”

“Dustin has made my first time experience with Rover amazing. He made sure to keep me updated with how Bella responded to him and took pictures on their walk. He definitely treated her like his own. He made her really happy during his visits. I would definitely use him again. 10/10”

“Landon was great! He came through for me on a weekend I had something come up unexpectedly and even though he wasn't available to house sit he did check ins on my dog at the exact times I asked him to. Much more dependable than others on Rover! Highly recommended!”

“Sarah was awesome! She made sure all the food and water bowls were replenished and actively communicated what the cats were doing and where they were hiding. She ever scooped the litter box which I'm sure the cats appreciated. The pictures of the cats were great and she spent a little extra time playing with the two non-scaredy cats. I'd recommend Sarah as a pet sitter any day.”

About: I've been in a household with animals my entire life. Ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds. I love spending time with animal companions and treat each one as if my own. I've also worked in multiple vet clinics and volunteer regularly at shelters. I try to makes sure they are happy, healthy, and overall in a positive and safe environment when with me. I'm currently a student but will always have time after classes dedicated to spending time with furry friends. My weekday schedule stays consistent and weekend schedule changes time to time, but I am also available throughout holidays and breaks, just contact me and we can work it out. I can't do boarding since I do have my own fur babies, but am open to drop ins where your pets are comfortable. I can't board any fur babies at the moment, but will make sure yours is safe and protected. I will make sure they are in sight, easily attainable (if off leash) where ever we may go, and away from dangers like snakes, other animals, etc. If you know your animal has specific needs or there are certain areas of your home you would like me to stay out of, I will happily abide and make sure your space is respected.
“Leaving my dogs is always tough for me because I worry so much, but Angela was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment I met her, I could tell she was caring, attentive, and truly loves animals. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and sent me the best photo updates throughout the day. The extra time spent throwing the ball and playing in the yard meant the world to us. It made being away so much easier knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 20+ years and treat every pet like part of the family. I currently care for a 13-year-old senior dog, so I understand the patience and attention dogs need at every stage of life. I’ve also raised and trained a dog from puppyhood and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, and day-to-day care, and I take pride in keeping dogs happy, safe, and well cared for. As a mom, providing a loving and dependable environment is second nature to me. Pet care is part of my daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I prioritize safety above everything—for both your pet and myself. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure a calm, secure environment whether in my home or yours. I provide consistent care including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention to keep your pet happy and stimulated. I’m mindful of surroundings on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and keep a clean, organized space. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times—just like they’re part of my own family.
Waco dog parents share their Rover experiences
AWESOME THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER USED A SITTER NOT FAMILY AND I HIT THE JACKPOT Laurinda J is one of a kind my 3 babies loved her she took excellent care sent pictures and videos I didn’t worry at all I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER I now will not worry when I need a sitter going forward

This was my first time using Rover, I had a last minute trip I had to take. Brittany responded right away to be with my dog. She did a great job! She sent me pictures of my puppy and snuggled him, which he loves! I would recommend Brittany to watch and care for anyone’s pets!

Sara is the best! She accepted our last minute request to do drop-in visits for our fur baby. Sara was quick to respond, followed our instructions perfectly, and loved on our girl while taking care of her. We really appreciate Sara and her dependability. We will book her for future visits and would recommend anyone else to do the same! Thanks a ton Sara! :)

We found Cheryl because our wedding was in the Crawford/Waco area!!! She was such an amazing help over lunch and during the evenings over our wedding weekend. Would highly recommend her to anyone. She was super communicative, nice, and helpful! Our dog Murphy absolutely loved her. Added bonus she has a younger son who also loves dogs and really wears the dogs out playing with them! We loved it!! Would highly recommend! She’s was on time and did anything we asked for your dig! Thanks again Sheryl!

Delaney is amazing. Even with somewhat short notice she came through for me and provided an amazing experience. Rosa loved her and I would not hesitate to ask Delaney to come back. Wonderful girl, sweet and caring, everything a person could ask for. Highly recommended.

Sharleen is amazing. We had some unexpected health issues arise during the time she was supposed to drop in. Due to my daughter being home I’ll, we no longer needed her to drop in. Sharleen was understanding and quick to respond to messages. I appreciate Sharleen’s patience and willingness to adapt to last minute changes. And as always she’s very attentive and our fur babies trust her.
