“Brittany was a lifesaver for me last week! I messaged last minute needing a drop-in sitter for my cat while I was going to be out of town. She responded almost immediately and was extremely communicative, providing photos, and lots of love to Rodger while I was away. She filled up food, water and made sure he had all his needs met. He was a happy boy upon my return and I am so grateful!”

“My cat Cookie loved hanging out with Madison! She kept me updated on everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their fur baby!”
“As much as we would like to keep her all to ourselves, we have to tell you, Taylor was awesome! She did all that you would want and expect in terms of following directions; but here’s the thing - she loved our for babies as if they were hers and sent us lots of pictures which really felt good since we were so far away!! We will be asking her back again and again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have seen them in every stage of life. I love spending time with them, and I have cared for puppies of all ages, sizes and breeds. I have also pet sit for multiple different clients. I have basic pet first aid skills, and your pets safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently working part-time. Please reach out for my hours and we can arrange something that works for both of us. I can’t wait to meet your pup! The pet being comfortable, safe, and well-cared for is my top priority. I am familiar with dogs of all different needs and energy levels, and will customize my care to ensure that they are happy and healthy. As of right now, I am not offering boarding services.

“Camryn was great! She took excellent care of our girls and they were thrilled to see her everytime and so happy when we returned. She also put up with my girls jumping in the pool everytime she came over so we are very thankful for her!”

“Tiffany always does an amazing job caring for my kitties. I appreciate how innovative she is in entertaining them! Will definitely be booking her again for my next trip 🙂 Thank you Tiffany!”

“Laurinda did an amazing job, communicating with Rover to figure out scheduling and ensure I got the first-time discount despite some complications. She was flexible with scheduling and consistently sent videos and picture. Took care of litter even tho she wasn’t asked.”

“Kirsten made sure to make time to come early to meet animals and get keys before the initial visit. She made sure to send pictures daily and the cats looked comfortable when I returned home.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience across all life stages, from energetic puppies needing structure to gentle seniors requiring extra patience. I confidently provide puppy training support and am fully comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet will receive the precise, dedicated care they need to feel safe and happy Pet care is the central focus of my daily routine, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, your pet will enjoy constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule allows me to easily maintain your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication routines without interruption. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow their familiar routine to minimize stress, keeping feeding, walks, and oral medication times exact. Whether hosting or visiting, I prioritize clear communication and always send daily photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and thriving.
“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.”

“Michelle was extremely attentive and made sure to preform a house visit prior to starting the cat sitting. Due to Michelle’s professionalism I had no doubt that my kitty would be taken care of while I was gone!!”

“Erica took good care of my fur baby! Caviar is a very playful 10 month old kitten. I hated to leave her alone. I’m so pleased that Erica could come over and check in on her. I consider Erica a friend after meeting her in the meet and greet. She is very friendly and caring. She communicates very well! She kept in touch with the updates and pictures of caviar! I was excited to come home and find a lovely gift from Erica, but most of all caviar seemed very happy! Thank you, Erica!”

“Ray took such good care of our old dog! Ray's communication (initial contact, photos, daily updates) throughout the process was timely and thorough and we knew that our dog was in good hands the entire time. We will definitely look for Ray first next time we need this service!”


About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was young. Back home it was a daily occurrence to wake up early and feed all the animals. From cows to chickens and cats to dogs, I have been around all of them. I throughly enjoy being around animals and currently missing my Australian Shepard back home. I’m currently attending college right now, so I have massive blocks in my schedule and even times for overnight care. Most of my homework does not require me to be on campus so it is easy to house sit when necessary. I can even check on animals during breaks between classes. At my current house, I have a massive backyard and located within a quarter mile of Thomas Park. The backyard has lots of shade and will always have plenty of water. When my dog comes up, he loves the backyard and walking around the park.
“Brittney took great care of Luna and Nova. She came to visit them twice a day. She fed them and fetched them. She was very communicative. She responded quickly when I sent a text. She sent photos with each visit. She was cheerful and happy to help. Thank you Brittney.”


About: I have grown up with 3 different dogs of very different personalities. Learning how to train them, care for them, and groom them was a large responsibility of mine. When I was around 9, I started caring for neighborhood pets. For several families I have continuously been an overnight caregiver, and for many additional families I have been a regular dog walker. These jobs have given me all kinds of experience with many different kinds of animals. Whether it’s a 150lb of pure muscle machine or an anxious ankle-biter, I strive to love them in the best way possible! My schedule is very flexible and this service brings me so much joy- no matter the time or place! I am passionate about every kind of animal— big or small, rowdy or tame, scaly or fluffy— I want to make sure that they are in the best hands! For this summer, I am only working free-lance/part-time jobs! In the summer and winter I am in Castle Rock, CO, and then during the school year I am in Waco, Texas. For care in a clients home, I will check in as frequently as possible and as often as the client requests. I will spend intentional time being present with the animals and be careful and aware of every need. In my home, the pets will have a gated backyard to play in, a thousand toys, and a kennel available if the clients desire. We have one dog at home who is incredibly friendly, but can also be separated or in a different area if needed.
About: With a background in professional animal care and a lifelong love for dogs, I offer dedicated, high-quality pet sitting services right here in our community. My experience goes beyond basic feeding and walks; I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and am comfortable managing everything from high-energy puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. Whether it's sticking to a strict medication schedule or ensuring your pup gets their favorite afternoon playtime, my priority is maintaining your pet's routine and happiness. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and treating every furry client like a member of my own family. I make sure they gotta atleast 4x a day and eat 2x a day unless owner has their own schedule. excercise is important to me and for the dogs so I make sure their out running around or playing fetch 1st I ask if the owner has a schedule I go by that or I make sure they eat 2x a day and outside 4x I love giving belly rubs and makeing sure their comfortable during their stay.

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!

Chase made sure to keep me up-to-date on my pets while I was out of town. I don’t have any family in town and my neighbors are elderly, so it’s very convenient and reassuring to know that Chase will make sure that my cats are OK while I am on vacation. It’s peace of mind.

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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Waco on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 269 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waco stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
