“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.”

“Dorothy was great! She helped provide daycare for my dog. I was impressed! She was very responsive from the beginning of my interactions with her. She provided me an immediate update on how my dog was doing. She also sent plenty of pictures during his time with her! 10/10 would recommend her services!”

About: I've always had multiple animals and will love your fur baby or babies like my own. I have base acces, so that won't be a problem. I'm currently a stay at home mom with a 5 year old who loves to help if it is safe for him to do so. I have a fenced in backyard and a silly miniature schnauzer who loves making new friends.

About: Hi, I’m Callie! I’m excited to be back on Rover after a few years away. I previously cared for pets through Rover while living in Smyrna, TN, where I built a wonderful base of happy clients and glowing reviews. Life shifted, and now that I’m settled in Waco, TX, I’m in the perfect season to jump back in and support pet parents again. Services I Currently Offer • Boarding in my home • Dog walks • Drop-in visits I’ve raised two chocolate labs from chaotic puppies to sweet, slow-moving seniors, so I understand the full spectrum of dog care. Puppies, seniors, medication routines, potty training, slow walks, and calm end-of-life support, I’ve lived it all. One of my girls battled cancer, so I’m very comfortable handling medications and providing attentive, gentle care. A Quick Note About Drop-In Visits Your dog’s well-being always comes first. Because of that, I do not accept drop-in visits if I would be your dog’s only source of relief for extended periods of time. For example, week-long trips with only two 30-minute drop-ins per day can leave dogs going far too long without adequate potty breaks, stimulation, or companionship. I’m happy to help with drop-ins when there is additional support in place, such as: • Someone staying overnight • A third daily visit • Another caregiver sharing coverage If you’re unsure what’s best, I’m always happy to talk it through. My goal is to make sure your dog is truly cared for, not just checked on. What to Bring for Boarding When your pet stays in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible. Please bring: • Your dog’s current food and treats • Any comfort items (bed, blanket, favorite toy) I do have extra beds, but familiar items often help pets settle more easily • Medications, with clear instructions • Any allergy information I also ask for a quick overview of your dog’s routine, including: • Feeding schedule • Potty break timing • Sleeping habits • House rules (for example, furniture boundaries) • Commands or cue words you use (potty, eat, crate, etc.) The more I know, the smoother and less stressful your dog’s stay will be. A Note About My Home I do have a golden retriever puppy, Ella, whom I’ve had for a few months now. Because of her, my home is currently very puppy-proofed, and I’ll be honest, I’m in full helicopter dog-mom mode. I closely monitor play, interactions, and movement throughout the day. Ella is playful, full of energy and enthusiasm. If your dog prefers calmer companions, needs breaks from play, or cannot have treats due to training or dietary reasons, please let me know so I can manage interactions appropriately. My Approach I know how stressful it is to leave your dog while traveling. I’ve been there, and I hated that anxious “I hope they’re okay” feeling. With me, your dog is treated like family. I follow your routines, stay attentive and engaged, and communicate clearly so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away. If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to chat and learn more about your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m home most days, keep a flexible weekly schedule, and can easily plan around walks, feedings, and playtime. When pets stay with me, they get a fenced yard to explore, daily walks, and a mix of physical and mental enrichment to keep them happy and relaxed. I give lots of one-on-one attention, keep to their normal routine, and make sure they feel right at home. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect, keep things clean, and maintain the feeding, medication, and comfort routines your pet relies on.

“Our dog was there for the first time today (besides the preliminary meet and greet) and we are very happy with the overall outcome of the day. Jackie and Todd are both wonderful energetic dog people who clearly understand dog behavior and are loving to all fur babies under their care, and they have the space for the dogs to really roam and play without any concern for their safety. We completely recommend them to anyone who wants their dogs to be treated like family and not just another customer. Thanks guys, we will see you again soon!”

“Teresa saved the day being able to watch our trouble makers on short notice. We picked them up and they were happy and exhausted. We’ll be back! Thank you!”

Michelle M.

“Vanessa is awesome!!! I got so many photos of my baby and she was able to keep up with training in daycare. Very consistent communication - my dog loves seeing her and her toy Aussie :)”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and birds. I currently have a German/Dutch Shepherd mix. I work from home, so it’s easy for me to get out during the day. I love animals, and I’d love to help if needed! I work from home, so my schedule is fairly open from 8:00am-3:00pm. After that, my kiddo would be with me for any stops. Weekends are good when I’m available! I can feed, water, take on walks, play with toys, whatever you desire! I love animals, and I know they need breaks throughout the day if people work long hours.
