“My dogs had a fantastic time with Melissa. She took amazing care of them while I was away and sent frequent updates and pictures so I knew they were doing well. Thanks again Melissa!”
“Yaxnitza is very friendly and professional. She offered a welcome meeting and greeting a week before date of boarding, so my Bentley can feel more comfortable staying with her and her beautiful dog Lilly. In a week Bentley stayed with Yaxnitza, she sent pictures, videos everyday to assured everything ok. I'm lucky and feel thankful that I found Yaxnitza for my Bentley when I wasn't home. Thank you Yaxnitza, We'll see you again when we go away next time. Highly recommended Yaxnitza for someone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Randi did an amazing job looking after my beagle Gus! She sent lots of pictures and updates of their adventures. I felt good knowing I left Gus with someone who really cared for him and made sure he was happy and felt loved. I will definitely bring Gus back to Randi in the future!”
“Deborah-Lynn is simply amazing! She provided lots of updates and photos throughout Eddie’s stay at her place (4 days) and he had a blast playing with his friends. It was my family’s first time being away from him for an extended time so we appreciated it very much! Her communication was excellent as well, always keeping in touch throughout Eddie’s stay. Deborah also was very accommodating with my travel plans which required an early drop off and late pick up time. Thank you Deborah-Lynn, we will definitely be going back!!”
“I dealt mainly with Fiona and she was lovely in alleviating my concerns (granted, I'm a worrier by nature!!!) in leaving our almost 2 y/o Choco Lab Scout. Took the time and had the patience to let me ask all the questions I had, as well as provide all the details about Scout's idiosyncrasies, likes and dislikes. She was wonderful in sending regular photos and videos of our brown girl having a blast in their huge backyard, playing with her pups. Was very flexible and accommodating when our return plans changed last minute. Would not hesitate to have Scout stay there again!”
“Varinderpaul and her husband were great with Kingston. They gave him lots of love and kept me well updated while we were away for our 8 day trip. Will definitely book when we go away again!”
“Jayden boarded our high energy dog for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. Jayden did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were away. He sent the right amount of updates per our preference and provided lots of exercise and care. It is not an easy dog to care for but with his experience, Jayden is prepared for any scenario. We appreciate how Jayden modified his plans to accommodate us. We look forward to have Jayden taking care of our dog again!”
“Cindy and Marc were just fabulous! It's always nerve-wracking to leave your furry loved one with strangers, but we left him knowing he was in good hands. They say animals can sense when a person isn't a good person. Finn can be sketchy with people, but within 10 minutes of our meet and greet, he was already running up to them. He was so well taken care of and happy. Thank you, Cindy and Marc! We'll be requesting you again. :)”
“Had a great experience with Jana and our 14 pound shihpoo. Jana is kind, attentive and responds quickly. You can tell she is a genuine pet enthusiast who has a wonderful setup in her home for you pup to feel safe and provided for. She took our pup on lots of long walks and made sure he had everything he needed.”
About: I'm experienced with high energy and reactive dogs through to the laziest dogs out there....and I've loved cats who are aloof through to snuggle bugs. Currently, my house is home to 3 playful snuggle bugs - 2 cats and a dog, who enjoy their times of play as much as curling up and snoozing together. Weekends are the best time for me currently. Some other days can work if planned in advance - particularly where they align with my "Work from Home" days. Cats staying are fine all days of the week. I have a fenced portion of my yard that is a fun playground for Dogs, and many good walks locally. Cats visiting will have the guest bedroom as their domain and be offered the freedom of the house if they find they enjoy my other pets company. We have a large crate for those times when it's needed - feeding time, or just getting some space to relax.
About: Being a person who has had at least one pet beside them at any given time in life, I am an animal lover of all sizes and varieties. With over a decade's experience in pet ownership, I have cared for dogs (many different sizes/breeds), cats, bunnies, birds, and more just to list a few. My best friend is an energetic Border Collie who loves to meet new friends. I will do my best in ensuring that your pet will have the best time when they are with us. I have a lot of flexibility and am looking to lend a hand to fellow pet owners in maintaining their pets happy and healthy mental and physical states. No more destroyed furniture because your pet was bored and lonely. We look forward to meeting you and your best friend!
“Left my dog Riley with Alysha. She was very kind and communicated often was texts and photos of my dog while I was away. She and her family provided loving care for my dog and I would definitely recommend her. I will use her again when I need someone to watch my dog!”
“Perfect stay as always! Clover had an amazing time and Shannon made sure to send us pictures and videos throughout our stay. We will definitely be using Shannon in the future!”
“Lee & Fan are absolutely amazing! They went about above and beyond to make Candy feel like part of the family and she is so much more trusting of other people after this very positive experience she's had! Not only did they take care of her for 10 days, they made such on a positive impact on all our lives! I'm so glad they were so patient and persistent until they got to experience what we see in our sweet pup that not many others get to see!”
“We needed a last minute sitter and lucked out with getting Shubham to look after Oakley for 2 nights! He communicated with us, consistently kept us updated with tons of pictures of Oakley, brought him on walks, and even provided him with a new toy. Oakley looked like he was having so much fun and was completely tired out when we got home. We felt really comfortable leaving him with Shubham! We highly recommend him and will definitely be reaching out to him for our future dog boarding needs whenever we visit the waterloo/kitchener area :)”
“Khushbu has a clear love of animals and is a fantastic pet parent. Khushbu asked lots of good questions to make sure that our Coco would be well taken care of. We got plenty of updates and it was comforting to know that things were going well. I would recommend Khushbu without reservations.”
“Our almost 3 year old dog just spent 1 week with Isha… and loved it! We felt so at ease leaving her in such good hands. Isha + family genuinely love our dog like their own and it shows. We couldn’t recommend them enough. We even received detailed updates and pictures everyday which was the BEST. Thanks for welcoming Grimm into your pack, Isha!! We appreciate you so so much.”
“My experience with this sitter was flawless. She was quick to respond, very accommodating with scheduling, pick up, and drop-off times, and sent regular updates. I felt like my dog was in great hands with her.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Waterloo is $50

This was our first time using the Rover app so I was a little nervous, but we couldn't have found a better sitter! Behnaz and Zelda instantly bonded and I was very comfortable leaving her in Behnaz's care. We received updates and pictures on how Zelda was settling in, and it helped make our week long vacation worry free. Thank you Behnaz!
Our boy Happy has stayed with Jason and his family for multiple short and long term stays this summer. Each time they have provided wonderful, loving care of Happy - with generous and frequent updates of his wellbeing and day to day activities. Jason has been extremely professional, communicative and flexible with our requests - even providing extended care when our flight was delayed. Happy loves walks and being near others and Jason has been accommodating his need with many long walks in the nearby parks, taking him along for outdoor events and couch cuddles. Thank you for taking care of our family while we were away! If we can give even more stars with our review we would
Thank you so much, Brittany. I went away on my holiday and felt Hazel was in the best chance possible. I know you are one of Hazel‘s best friends. Thank you for taking care of our house for leaving it. Clean and best of all caring for Hazel like she was your own. I very much appreciate the service separately provides.
Our dog came home very happy and well looked after. We really appreciated all the photos and attention she received, and it looked like she was having so much fun and was very comfortable! Communication was excellent, and coordinating drop-off and pick-up was so smooth and easy. Kevin was quite knowledgeable about dogs and had a good understanding of our dog as well. We'd definitely recommend him, and thank you so much, Meng and Kevin, for taking such great care of our dog!
Sara and Rick are the absolute BEST!!! Words can’t express how amazing they were with my cat! They are SUCH sweet animal lovers and took such good care of him, he warmed up to them immediately!! Their communication was also incredible.. they kept me updated and sent me lots of photos! It was such a wonderful and comforting experience. One hundred percent recommend, you will not be disappointed. They’re amazing.. and I would have them watch my pet again in a heartbeat! :) thank you so sooooo much! Cannot thank you enough 💗
We had such a great experience with Jing! She was wonderful with our dog Bubble and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was reliable, attentive and caring. We really appreciated she took great care of Bubble while we were away. We would definitely love to have Bubble spend time with Jing again!
Qi.C was wonderful with our mini dachshund! We were away for six days and she kept us updated the whole time with photos, videos and little messages, which we really appreciated. It was so nice to be able to see how he was doing and know he was happy and well taken care of. We had a great experience with her and would definitely have her watch him again.
Tucker was so well taken care of while we were away! Evelyn & Jithin were absolutely wonderful with him, and we could tell he had such a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. We’re so grateful and would happily have them look after Tucker again! 🐾❤️
Priyanka took great care of Moose while we were away for a week. She was very open to doing a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it was the right fit for everyone, which we really appreciated. She took the time to get to know Moose and understand his personality and energy level, which was especially helpful since he has quite a lot of energy! She kept him entertained with lots of games of fetch and made sure he felt right at home. She also sent us regular updates every day, along with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Moose came home happy, tired, and ready to crash! We’d be happy to have Priyanka look after Moose again and would definitely recommend her to other dog parents looking for someone caring and attentive.
We had a wonderful experience! Our dog came home happy and well looked after. We really appreciated all the vidoes, photos, and attention she received, and it looked like she was having so much fun! Communication was excellent, and coordinating drop-off and pick-up was so smooth and easy. We would definitely book again and highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our dog!
Stefan took amazing care of our senior dog Charlie for a week and a half! I received a ton of pictures and videos of her walks, adventures, and daily activities with Stefan and Bumi. The communication was impeccable. Stefan was also very flexible and respectful of Charlie. For example, he messaged me when Charlie wasn't able to get into his car by herself to make sure it was okay to pick her up and help her in. He also made sure to come home from work at lunch time to let her go pee on the days he was in the office. I will definitely be booking with Stefan again next time we need to leave overnight for something. He clearly loves dogs so much and it was the most comfortable I've felt with someone else watching Charlie ever.
My golden retriever Aki stayed with Wei-Chien and her partner for a month and had such an amazing time that she was sad to leave! This was the best dog-sitting experience I have ever had, pick up and drop off went smoothly, Wei-Chien sent photo and video updates every day, and went above and beyond to ensure Aki was having the best time. Highly recommend and I will definitely use if I go away again!

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 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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
