She provided updates throughout Hudson’s stay so I knew how he was adjusting. It was my first time using Rover and Hudson’s first time staying away from home. He was nervous in a new environment and Priyanka went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and ate his meals. Priyanka also has an active walk schedule so his exercise needs were met and consistent with his normal routine. I felt very comfortable my dog was in good hands and will definitely book again in the future. Thanks again! :)”

About: I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every pet like my own. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping you updated along the way. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and pet sitting, and I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and needs. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they're in my home or their own. I follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet, provide plenty of attention, and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free.
“Olivia cared for our puppy Max for a week while we were away and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The communication and updates were outstanding. Our drop off and pick up times needed to be a bit flexible and she was extremely accommodating. This is the first time we've ever left a pet with someone and it was very comforting knowing he was in good hands.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Waterloo is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waterloo
We are new to Rover and feel soooo lucky to have found Allison! She was absolutely fantastic and our little schoodle was incredibly well cared for. Allison's care of Scoutie was truly exceptional. She is a true dog lover, that was so evident from the moment we met her. She is intuitive, she asked fantastic questions and our schnoodle was always her first priority. Allison was just the person we were looking for and we feel so happy! ( Yeah! We can now plan some trips knowing that everything will be just fine.) I am sure Scoutie well appreciated all the things she did for him, too - laying out his special blanket on her couch, putting his "alternative" dog bed beside him, chasing him inside, LOL, recovering his toys, helping him to negotiate the heat outside, preparing his food just the way he likes it, etc. Everything was just amazing and the next day we booked again! We feel truly blessed to have found such a great dogsitter. Oh, as well, our initial "meet and greet" the day before was a lovely experience. We all sat on the floor, chatting about dog care, and we left knowing we had found the right person. Allison has a lovely home for dog-sitting, including a backyard. Our little Scout loves his walks and her neighborhood is just perfect for that. Thank-you, Allison, for everything!
We had an excellent experience with Behnaz! We received regular updates and photos, which really gave us peace of mind. Johnny looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was prompt, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our Johnny.
We left our dog with Qi for 10 days and she is wonderful! Our dog is very attached to our family and can be anxious when staying away from us. Qi was very attentive, caring, and patient with her and provided us with many updates, pictures, and videos. She also made sure to give Molly her medication every night. I would 100% recommend Qi and will definitely use her again in the future! We are so grateful to her for taking such good care of our girl while we were away so we could enjoy our vacation!
Thanks to ruomai for accommodating our last minute request. She took great care of our 'Happy' and was sharing updates with photos and videos constantly. Overall we are very satisfied with her service and will definitely rebook her for our future needs. Thank you Ruomai!
Tulsi had a great and fun time with Rick and Sara! They took care of everything including meal times, specific nutrition requirements, gave us regular updates and pictures :-)!!! Rick and Sara have great pleasing personalities which put Tulsi at ease immediately. Thank you both ☺️❤️
We had a great experience boarding Uno overnight. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. Uno was well cared for, taken on walks to the park, and seemed happy and comfortable during his stay. The home environment felt safe and welcoming, and we really appreciated the attention and care given to him. We would definitely recommend this service and would be happy to book again in the future.
Olívia, was available at short notice and she found a place for my puppy Charlie. She kept me posted about him and gave Charlie an amazing time for the 2 days he stayed with her. You can tell be brief moment when I met her that she is a dog lover. She is definitely my first option in town to take care of Charlie when I need.
Bo was taken care of with the upmost kindness and professionalism. I was concerned leaving him for the first time however he felt right at home and settled in quickly. Jana also sent me regular updates of their fun outings! I would definitely recommend Jana for your pet!
Chutney had a wonderful stay with Huang and her family! It was clear he was treated like part of the family and had a lot of fun with the sitter’s dog and young children. Photos and videos were provided throughout the day, so it was reassuring to know he was well looked after and enjoying every minute. Thank you for giving Chutney such a great experience!
Olivia was amazing! She boarded my dog, Xena, in her home for 2 weeks while I was out of the country and Xena had the best time. Olivia made sure to update me with photos and kept in touch so I knew Xena was in good hands. She made sure to make Xena feel comfortable as she settled into a new environment and during her stay. Will definitely book with her again! Xena has a new bestie!
Our dog Sunny has been going to Ashley's for day care for several months and recently boarded with her for a couple of nights. We couldn't be happier! Ashley is super reliable, accommodating, and very understanding of our anxious pup. She's a true dog whisperer! Thank you so much, Ashley! Your help has been a game changer for us and we so appreciate everything you do.
We had a great experience with Shubham! He and his wife were incredibly kind and accommodating especially with our somewhat reactive and high energy pup. He made us feel at ease, and was always providing us updates and photos. We really appreciated his patience and flexibility. Highly recommend!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterloo on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waterloo home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Waterloo
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
