Bethany was great. We had a pleasant experience. Has a big fenced yard for Benji to run around and even gave him a quick bath when he got dirty. We were delayed due to unexpected circumstances and she was very kind to accommodate Benji for few more hours.

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!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including training energetic puppies with positive reinforcement techniques and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may require medication, mobility assistance, or a slower pace. I’m highly observant, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to a strict routine, handling special diets, or offering extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’ve always made it a priority to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Each day, I set aside specific times for walks, playtime, and training sessions, adjusting based on each pet’s needs. If I’m caring for a puppy, I focus on consistent training and socialization, while for seniors, I incorporate gentler, shorter walks and provide any necessary health monitoring. I also make sure to offer plenty of time for bonding, ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so it never feels like a chore—it’s a natural part of my schedule. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routine, including feeding, exercise, and any special care instructions. I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and following any house rules the client has. I also ensure that pets receive ample attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, whether it’s through play, walks, or just hanging out. I provide updates through photos and messages to keep the client informed and at ease. The goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved, just as they would with their owners.

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.

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.
