Brittnie is wonderful! She took great care of our dogs, sent regular updates, and even sent them home with a gift. We knew they were safe and well taken care of.

Cynthia and her family kept Maggie and Benny for three nights, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the beginning until I picked them up, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear they truly enjoy caring for dogs. Maggie and Benny were happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved while they were there. Knowing they were in a safe, attentive, and family-centered home gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Cynthia and her family with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, dependable dog care.

About: As a former veterinary clinic employee, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and well-being. My extensive knowledge allows me to provide personalized care tailored to your pet's unique needs. With my three lovable dogs of my own, I'm a seasoned "fur parent" who understands the importance of creating a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. My home dog park, where dogs can socialize, exercise, and play off-leash, is a unique feature that sets me apart from other sitters. Here, your furry friend will enjoy the freedom of playing with friends while you're away, knowing they're in good hands. My passion for dogs, combined with my professional experience and facilities, make me the perfect sitter for your beloved companion. I understand the importance of flexibility and reliability when it comes to pet care. My schedule allows me to accommodate a range of pet care needs, from daily visits to overnight or multi-day stays. I can visit your furry friend during the day, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while also providing peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. We are a family-based boarding home, so your pet will receive plenty of love and attention throughout their stay. My husband works from home, which allows for extra supervision and care during the day, and my daughter also has experience with pet care and pet sitting. Together, we create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in our care. Whether you’re away for a few hours, a full day, or several days, I’ll make sure your pet receives the care, comfort, and companionship they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your unique needs so you can feel confident that your pet will be well cared for like part of the family. Welcome to my home, where your furry friend will receive the ultimate pampering experience! You're welcome to bring their own bed to sleep in, or they can choose from one of my beds. But it's not just about sleeping - my in-home dog park is the real showstopper! This spacious yard is designed for pets to run wild, play fetch, and make new friends. And for those who love water, they can splash around in my inground pool. The yard is fully fenced and secure, so you can rest assured that your pet will be safe and happy. My home is a haven for pets, and I'm confident that they'll feel right at home.

About: Hello! My name is Yazmin and I’ve loved all 4-legged creatures since I could walk on my own two. Ever since I was little I have been surrounded by animals. From horses and goats on grandma’s farm to parakeets and dogs in my own backyard. I currently have 2 furry friends, one siberian husky who loves a dramatic flare and one yorkshire terrier who, although smaller, is just as mischevious. These pooches are family so I can only make sure that they are well taken care of when I’m gone, which is what all fur parents want, expect and deserve. I hope to provide that same love and care for your own furry friends. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes but am currently limited to only caring for dogs that are 20 lbs max. I have experience with puppies as well so no pup left behind! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you and I hope you and your pooches have a paw-some day! 🐾 Although I work full time, I dedicate as much time as I can to my own pups and you can expect for me to do the same with yours. However, I am available full time for boarding most holidays and summers so your furry friends can be taken care of no matter the event. I live in a large home with lots of yard space to walk your pup! I have two dogs, one outdoor who has his own fenced in area and one indoor who has just as much love as I to give. If need be, I can accommodate the indoor space so that your pooch may remain separate from my indoor dog. Your dog deserves to feel welcome, safe and protected so please feel free to express any concerns you may have. Crate and bed must be provided but fear not, more than enough space is available to accommodate your pup!

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and I've fostered pets of all breeds and ages for the past 12 years. I've had puppies from as young as 5-6 weeks, all the way to senior dogs. Cats and newborn kittens, too. I have housebroke, crate trained, litter trained and dealt with a myriad of behaviors. My pets are my family, and my fosters were part of my family while I had them - and your pet will be treated as such, too! I am home all day, every day, and will be with your pet around the clock! Overnights, all day, a few hours, weekends, vacations are all acceptable. I have one senior dog, and two senior cats. My dog is friendly and loves to get new visitors. He is quite a lazy, nonchalant boy, loves animals of all shapes and sizes, but is well past the age of wanting to play. We take senior dogs only but if your dog still likes to play we will!

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!

About: CPR Certified. I have worked with dogs for 15+ years. I am currently a professional canine behaviorist and trainer. I have been training for 4 years after attending Starmark Academy. I have worked in boarding/daycare facilities for 15 years. Luxury and plenty of attention is my specialty! I tried my hand at grooming but it wasn't my favorite. I do have different brushes for different coats so I am able to brush your pup. Hygiene is important! I have worked with hundreds of breeds of dogs along with special needs, seniors, and playful puppies as well. My days are nothing but dogs! I am home all the time. I wake up, let my dogs out, feed them, let them out again and then make sure they rest till their food digests. Then we have a 30-45 minute training session including play. They come inside and rest some more. I make pupsicles and let my dogs lick the spoon. We play some more. If there are no other dogs boarding with me, I love to take my dogs to the park, lake, or pet friendly store. It makes for excellent training, mental, and physical stimulation. We come home rest, eat, and the last few hours of the night they get their pupsicles and we go to bed. I have a fenced in backyard. If your dog can jump a 6 ft fence, I also have a 30ft and a 50ft long line to keep them on during outside time. This way they can still run around. I have 2 dogs myself and if your pup gets along with them they can play with 100% supervision from me, a certified professional trainer and behaviorist. If your dog isn't dog friendly, no problem! I do rotations with the dogs and if needed, will be walked through my house with a leash. Even if they are friendly, your dog still gets one on one time with me and time to take a break from my dogs. Your dog will always have a safe space, this is why I do require them to be kenneled in my house when I am gone or it's bedtime. It's their "bedroom," their space to decompress, and safety always comes first. For my senior dogs or dogs going through medical treatment, I do have a larger pen they can stay in if I have to leave the house to get groceries or do a private training session. I feed all dogs separately in their safe space and none of the dogs are allowed in each other's space. If you have two dogs, I do require them to be kenneled separately. They can be side by side but they must have their own kennel/crate.

My 2 dogs felt right at home at Kaylee’s place! I felt confident leaving them with her for over a week. You can tell Kaylee loves dogs and they cannot sense it. Kaylee kept me up to date on how they were doing and sent photos that assured me they were doing well. I plan on using Kaylee in the future - you can’t go wrong with hiring her to care for your pets!

About: I’ve taken care of numerous different animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals and everything in between. I’ve sat for friends and neighbors and have volunteered at different animal clinics and shelters as well as fostered kittens and puppies. I’m also knowledgeable in fish aquariums/care. I’m currently a stay at home mom and do online schooling at home as well. My time is very flexible for any day of the week except when picking up and dropping kids off from school. I have a fenced in half acre back yard so there’s plenty of room to run around. I do have 5 dogs and 3 cats as well. All my pets vaccinated and kennel trained and they do great around other animals. I also have half of our house blocked off with a gate to separate dogs as well and still have them able to be inside with us.

About: I have grow up with all kinds of Pets. I live on a bunch of land and I love to go for walks. My family always have me go and pet/house sit for them when they go on vacations. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I go to school online so I’m always home. My child loves to go on walks, so I’m always going on walks. I do not have any rules about animals on furniture because I love to cuddle them. I will let them out, feed them, take them on walks, make sure they have water, and love on them when I’m not doing anything

About: I’ve taken care of animal almost my whole life. I’ve experienced situations others might not know how to handle. I have gone from grooming pets, walking around parks, following precise rules pet owners have left me, and allowing lots of playtime. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, horses, sheep’s, ducks, fishes, lobsters, and any animals you can imagine on a farm. I am a full time college student, but always make sure to fit the pets needs/schedule into mine. I will let any owner know if for some reason it will not fit into my schedule allowing them to look for someone else. Pet care becomes a natural part of me. It involves feeding, walking, playtime, and grooming, all of which I try to incorporate consistently throughout the day. Weekly tasks might include vet check-ups, cleaning pet areas, and providing extra care like nail trimming or deep cleaning their bedding. It’s about creating a balance where pet care feels like an enjoyable part of the day, not a chore. In my home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and any stimulation they need. This includes regular feeding, daily walks, playtime, and grooming sessions. I also focus on maintaining a clean environment for allowing pets to feel clean and smell well.

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!

Laurinda was wonderful and so patient with my two cats. She was sitting with 2 dogs when we arrived. My cats not used to dogs and are both very shy. The dogs responded well to her command to stop barking. Taking the cats out of the cage was easily done by Laurinda. She sent me messages about my girls frequently. The got friendlier with each picture. They felt like they were at home when the last day came. I will use her again.

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Waco

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Waco on Rover is $33.3 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 94 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Waco. About 95% of Waco sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
