“J&T are terrific! They understood my pet's personality the first time they met him. They also put me and my husband at ease about leaving our pet there for several hours twice a week. My dog never really has been around other dogs on a regular basis, so we were a little nervous about his behavior but he was fine and I believe J&T had a lot to do with that. We look forward to having our pet stay with them in the future ❤️❤️❤️”
“Abbi is so intentional and caring with our dog! It has been a while since we tried a dog sitter because we needed someone who would understand our dog’s anxious tendencies and respond to her cues. I feel SO at peace leaving Ivy with Abbi!! :)”
“Andrea takes excellent care of our fur babies! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home our pets were relaxed and happy. I can tell that my pets really likes her!”
About: I have been taking care of your pets for over 10 years. I have worked in everything from vet care to training so I have a unique look at the skills your pup needs to live a happy confident life. Our day starts at 6 am with a quick potty break before serving breakfast. From there we rotate playgroups and training throughout the day until 5 pm when dinner is served. Final potty breaks are typically around 8pm depending on the individual dogs needs. Puppies typically get a midnight potty break as needed. I have 2 large fenced in areas for monitored play groups. Dogs are never left unattended for any reason. Inside dogs are lounging with me or are in private kennels outfitted for their comfort and needs.
“Whitney took great care of Foster. Her household of people and pets were welcoming and Foster ran with the pack. He's tired and smiling! I would bring him here again and highly recommend her to anyone.”

If you have an anxious dog, Dena is the sitter to book. Our German shepherd is very nervous around strangers and had never stayed with anyone outside our family. She was gentle and patient with him, and her quiet home with no other pets was exactly what he needed. She eased my anxiety right away, and she sent updates and photos all day, focused on exactly what I'd want to know. He came home happy and relaxed. Great with large dogs, great communication, and I'd book her again in a heartbeat.
Abbi was awesome with Nova! I was grateful for the meet and greet before Nova’s first day of day care. It was easy to schedule and Abbi was super flexible with my very unpredictable work commitment. I appreciated the photo and video updates and that she is trained and certified to reinforce everything Nova is learning in puppy school.
Needed a last minute doggie day care and they were so great! So glad they had room and our girl looks to have had a fabulous time with her new friends. Would book again if we can bring her with us on another adventure to the Waco area. Got a lot of great pics of her playing too. Reassuring - and adorable! A nice gesture for sure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Waco is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 65 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Waco commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 65 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of TX. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
