“This was my first time for a sitter. Mitchel, was great! The house was kept neat, he was professional and handled my clingy little Shih Tzu with ease. He was patient and attentive. He supplied me with pictures and updated throughout the time with her. I appreciate him so much and highly recommend him. I will certainly use Mitchel again.”

“Maddie did a wonderful job taking care of our older dog, O.T., and our cat, Omar for 8 days. She stayed at our house and keep them company so as a result they were very healthy and happy when we returned. Appreciated very much that Maddie kept us updated with photos and texts. She also was there when some packages and mail arrived and even took off the covers of some of our plants when the freezing weather got warmer. Highly recommend!”

“Jeanette was amazing !!! She sent so many photos and videos. She updated me constantly and was so sweet. My puppy loved getting to see her walk into our home every day! I would hire her again any day.”

“Celeste was so attentive and went out of her way to make my dog as comfortable as possible. She helped me feel so at ease with updates and pictures. I knew my dog was in great hands the whole time :)”


“Olivia was an exceptional sitter for my dog Hana! She was very punctual and flexible. She was willing to meet Hana and I for a meet and greet prior to sitting for her, which made me feel much more comfortable leaving Hana with her. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. She followed all of our instructions when watching Hana and kept us updated throughout the day! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting, as she is very trustworthy! I will be using her again!”


About: Hi! I’m Camryn, an upcoming senior at Baylor University studying Environmental Studies. I had my own pet sitting business back home and have 8+ years of experience caring for pets, with great references. I’ll be in Waco taking summer classes and would love a summer job doing what I love—caring for animals. I offer 2–3 drop-in visits a day to feed, walk, play, and check in on your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾 Since all of my summer classes at Baylor are online, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I can do morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits. I’m able to be consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications if needed—and always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I also keep a clean environment and make sure your home is respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, giving them lots of attention, playtime, and care while also being mindful of their boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and trusting environment for both you and your pet.
“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”

“Ida was great, she was very attentive to my furry family member. Ida kept me well informed of how everything was progressing and my dog overall. I could not have asked for more.”

“Jadyn is the best in Waco! We have booked with her before and we’re so glad she was available short notice for us to book with her again. Our dogs love her and she takes great care of them and our home. She is so trustworthy and a great communicator!”

“We recommend Landon as a fantastic dog sitter. He sent photos and communicated consistently while we were away. Our dogs loved him, and even our neighbors noted how kind he is. Landon treated our home respectfully and followed our care instructions (including helping with our rescue dog who is recovering from heartworms!) We look forward to booking him again!”

“Brittany was great! She kept us informed and sent pics. She was especially patient with Cici, our 5 lb. Yorkie that we came to have when my MIL passed. Cici is still very shy and timid, and Brittany went the extra mile to be patient and gentle with her. Again, Brittany was very respectful, and we appreciated her being so good with all three of our fur babies.”

About: I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with a strong background in animal care. I am a certified veterinarian assistant and have also completed schooling to become a veterinary technician, which has given me valuable hands-on knowledge in caring for a wide range of animals. I have over four years of medical experience working with both dogs and cats, and I am confident in providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. I am especially experienced in caring for senior animals and understand the extra patience and support they require. I am also comfortable administering medications when needed and ensuring pets stay on their proper routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to providing reliable, loving care you can trust. I work full time, but I live close enough to return home throughout the day, allowing me to take pets out up to four times daily. This ensures they get plenty of bathroom breaks, attention, and care even during the workday. I have two small dogs of my own—one is 2 years old and the other is 16 years old—so I am very familiar with caring for pets at different life stages. Both of my dogs are friendly with other dogs and cats and are fully up to date on all vaccinations. I also have a fenced-in patio where your pets can safely spend a few minutes outside to enjoy fresh air and sunshine. In addition, all pets in my care will receive two 15-minute walks daily to keep them active, happy, and well-exercised. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to providing reliable, loving care you can trust.
“Mackenzie is amazing! Our furbabies loved her more than we did! She took excellent care of them and loved on them while we were away. She sent several pictures and videos that warmed our hearts. We will definately be hiring her again!”
“She took care of our two dogs for 4 nights! My dogs loved her, she keep me updated of everything and she also mantienes clean everything that my dogs did. I would definitely book again with her if we need her.”

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: With over 5 years of hands on experience in pet sitting, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My services go beyond basic feeding and whatever needs. I schedule my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I carefully plan my week to ensure I can give each pet individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize trust, safety, and routine. I start by reviewing any care instructions provided feeding schedules, medication, behavior notes, and emergency contacts so I can follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.
“Colleen is wonderful! She stayed with my pup for week and took great care of her. She was great at communicating and also very respectful of our house. I will definitely use her services again!”

Dena was great! She followed every single instruction, was prompt, reliable and communicated very well with us while we were away. She also left our home clean and in perfect order.
