“Christina is so great. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog in her hands. She even brought him a new toy to play with while we were gone. She always sent thorough updates each visit to include pictures. Highly recommend her services!”
“Our two dogs had the best time with Lilianais—she was kind, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages. They were tired and happy, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kristy did a wonderful job looking after my cat while I was away for a week. She was sure to sent me at least four pictures of my fur kitty which I appreciated and would tell me have sweet and loving he is. I plan on using her services again if ever I leave the Waco area.”
About: Hi, I’m Kaycee!! I have been an animal lover my entire life!! Growing up my family and I always owned multiple pets which lead the my love for animals! I have always loved caring and playing with dogs and showing them the endless love they continuously give us!! Let me be your puppies next best friend🩷 I am currently working PRN as an Occupational Therapist, however I am off most days out of the week to have tons of play time with your baby throughout the day! As a dog owner myself I know the high expectations I would have for someone caring for my pets. I plan to uphold my high standards for you and your loved ones! At my home I have a fenced yard where I spend most evenings sitting on the porch playing fetch with my babies. But, that never stops us from being a couch potatoe or going on a long walk! If your dog stays in a crate or is free to roam your home I can ensure they will be cared for in the best way possible!
About: We have had dogs our whole life and enjoy caring for and loving on them. We understand the attention dogs need to feel loved and cared for. Dogs are family! As a teacher, my availability is much more open during the summer months. I look forward to taking care of your pets as much as my schedule allows. Our Chiweenie, Tina is our inside pup. She loves to cuddle and go on walks. Our Labrador, Bear enjoys being with us outside to play or take it easy. Our Dalmatian/German short haired pointer, Chief Kenai is very active and enjoys running and playing fetch. In care of your pets, we will let them outside to go potty, clean up any accidents, play with them, take them on a walk if needed and feed and water them.
“Brittany is a wonderful pet sitter, I can’t recommend her enough! She is always so thoughtful, communicative, reliable, and truly loves animals. She does an amazing job looking after my cat every time she comes over and he absolutely adores her!”
“Dustin has made my first time experience with Rover amazing. He made sure to keep me updated with how Bella responded to him and took pictures on their walk. He definitely treated her like his own. He made her really happy during his visits. I would definitely use him again. 10/10”
About: Hello pet parents, I have four pets of my own, however they do not live with me. I’m going to school to become a vet and am close to finishing my bachelors degree in animal science, soon I hope to apply for graduate school. I have two male dogs and two female cats. I’ve worked at a vet clinic before and handled boarders and more! I can handle almost anything and I love all kinds of companions! Just message me for your sitting needs! I’m currently looking for a part time job while in college so aside from my school days on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the semester, I’m free. It truly depends on how the animal feels about me (a stranger) in their home. Ultimately, it’s their home… I'm simply a supervisor that’s there to cater to their needs, whatever that may be.
About: I have experience taking care of animals in and outside the vet. I went to school to be a vet assisting and have learned a lot on handling animals of all sizes and ages. I have also ad experience with watching pets for friends and others. All the animals I own are adopted from shelters. I’m all about saving the fur babies that need homes. I love helping owners feel better about leaving for work and nervous about how their pets are while they’re gone. I will gladly send messages and pictures to assure your pets are well taken care of. I won’t charge an and a leg because how how hard it is to find someone you trust to care for your 4 legged friends.
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. I’ve been dog sitting for the last five years. I currently have two floof balls of my own who LOVE other animals. I live in the country and have a big fenced back yard, so if your pups stay here, they’ll have lots of walks and playtime. I can’t wait to give love to your furry best buddy! I work full time from home, and use every break I have to take my dogs on a walk or play with them outside. I’m a super active individual so walking dogs just makes outdoor cardio that much more fun. I have a fenced in yard, am really aware of my dog’s moods because I’m here all the time, and have lots of space for the dogs to spread out if they need some alone time.
About: For the past 14 years, caring for dogs has been more than just a responsibility — it’s been a true passion of mine. From raising and loving my own dog to caring for others as if they were part of my family, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with daily walks to keep them active and happy, bath time to keep them clean and fresh, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and special needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, feeding schedules, or extra care for senior dogs, I treat every pup like my own — with kindness, responsibility, and lots of belly rubs. I’m a business owner so my time is flexible. With advance notice I can be available as needed and I can also be available on short notice as long as I’m available I have a fenced yard and a crate inside the house if needed. Your dog will be supervise at all time. Your dog is allowed on our sofa and free to roam around the house
“Jillian was absolutely amazing. The meet and greet was so thorough that I just knew she would do a wonderful job at taking care of my fur-babies. I have senior fur-babies and she catered to their needs just the way I would as well as making sure the house was prepared for my return. Jillian is definitely my go to caregiver for my babies in the future.”
About: I have cared for pets and people for many years. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits & chickens, and I dream of someday having my own homestead. I have years of experience as a care taker for children & the elderly, but if I'm being honest I much prefer the company of pets over people! I've fostered feral cats and rescued runaway dogs. There is something so pure about the love of an animal. I have a daughter (3 years old now) who loves animals so much and gets so excited every time she gets to meet a doggie or kitty, so she truly loves coming along with me for these jobs! My schedule is very flexible at this time: I'm available for daytime visits and overnight care to spend time with and love on your fur-babies! 😻 I have a great deal of respect when visiting others homes. I always take special care to leave it cleaner than I found it and tidy up any messes as needed. A clean home is a happy home! Bedding in the crate needs to be laundered or litter box needs to be cleaned out? No problem! I can also water plants, take in the mail, put trash cans out, pickup packages from the porch, load the dishwasher or whatever may be needed! I want to be of service to you and your pet as much as I can during my time in your home. References available upon request.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 717 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whitson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
