“Can’t Thank her enough for her gentle care and warmth with my buddy, Berny…!!! She took utmost care of him whilst I was away for urgent trip, timely notifications and updates, which were perfect to see him enjoying…. THANK YOU AGAIN…!!”
“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“I would definitely recommend her! She took great care of my pup and kept me updated the entire time he was staying with her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Taffy was obviously loved and cuddled by Lynn and her family as if she were their own kitty. The pictures kept me in touch with Taffy. Lynn M is amazing. She is kind and very caring. She understood how much I missed my kitty and made sure I knew she was in good hands. Lovely, spotless home. Taffy had her own area to retreat to if she needed to hide as kitties like to do. When we travel again, Lynn M will be our first choice. Trust Rover.com.”
“Fiona and Dale are fabulous hosts. Karma had an absolute blast! We received regular pictures and communication about her adventures including videos of her swimming! She is tuckered out and had the best time! Thanks for caring so well for our sweet girl!”
“Jayden was amazing with Perry! This is our first time using Rover, and this was an amazing experience. Perry had a great time, and came back his happy and usual self. This is a great change from Kennels that we’ve used in the past, 10/10 recommend Jayden!”
“My dog Chapo has been a repeat guest of Meng. She is. Great I loved seeing how excited Chapo got when he saw Meg at drop off. I hope to continue to use Meng in the future thank you again.”
“Emma and Victoria were great! They helped watch our senior dog with some mobility issues due to arthritis with such great care. They were able to give him his medications as needed and provided daily updates and photos to set our mind at ease. It was Django's first time with them and he loved it! Would definitely recommend! Thanks again”
“Gail is amazing! My 2.5-year-old husky came back happy, well cared for, and completely tired out after his stay. It was clear that her entire family helped take care of him, not just Gail, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him there. She provided regular photo updates and communicated very well throughout the stay. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Highly recommend Natalie. Took exceptional care and attention of our dog over our 10 day vacation. Super communication and photos throughout. Would not hesitate to use Natalie again.”
“I had a great experience with Saksham and his wife! they were super attentive, and my dog seemed happy and relaxed when I picked her up :) they took her on plenty of walks(just the way she likes it) and even made her feel at home by letting her sleep on the bed or couch!!I really appreciated the regular updates with pics, which made me feel at ease while I was away”
“Highly recommend Jean and her family! Our Dolly had a ton of exercise, time to play and was very well cared for. Jean was very accommodating when I had made a booking error and asked to extend her visit which we really appreciated and sent us some great photos and updates of her stay. Would absolutely bring her back 😊 THANK YOU”
About: I’ve taken care of family dog and neighbors dog for 5 years. I have experience taking care of small to medium dogs and can train basic skills for puppies. My job has a flexible hours schedule and I can work from home. Therefore I can accommodate any hours needed by the customer and their dog. I do not have pets in my home currently, so the client’s dog will be the only pet in the home. I’ll make sure their dogs feel comfortable here.
“Deepti & Sachin treated our puppy dog like a member of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for more! They are super caring responsible, fun dog people! Thank you! Jackie”
“Our dog Nova spent the day with Eva and her family. Eva sent some really nice pictures throughout the day, and took really great care of Nova. Nova was definitely tuckered out at the end of the day! Thank you so much for making our very first Rover experience such a great experience!”
“Great experience overall. Catharine and her two children were great with Abby. So great in fact, I'm not sure she actually wanted to leave and come home. Great pics, long walks and belly rubs. I don't think you could find better sitters for your pet.”
“Priyanka was amazing! We did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone felt comfortable which put my mind at ease. 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! :)”

This was my first experience leaving the most important member of our family. I want to extend my gratitude to Jayson. He has been a very kind person with my dog, sending pictures, schedules, and updates on how my dog was doing. He took care of my dog, and I feel that he did it just like I would have. Jayson is a gentle person with dogs; he connects very well with them, and you can sense that you can trust him. Thank you, Jayson, for taking care of Alma.
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!
Behnaz took an amazing care of Eva! We could tell right away from the first pictures because Eva appeared so calm and relaxed, which almost never happens. At the end of the stay, Eva was very well rested and happy. We're glad to have found Behnaz and will definitely host with her in the future
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!
Priya took amazing care of Maloca, over the holiday. She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how comfortable Maloca was with her. He came home happy, calm, and super relaxed, which says everything about the care and attention he received. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Priya again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
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!
We have used Daniella twice now, and we have had such a wonderful experience both times! She is very quick to respond, reliable, and so accommodating. She was flexible with an early drop-off and a later pick-up, which was incredibly helpful for us. Our dog absolutely loved her and was so happy and comfortable with her. She also kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future. We’re so happy we found her!
This was our first time using Rover, and with a 7 month old crazy aussie puppy too. Samantha was fantastic, spent all day with him and got constant photos and updates. We we're confident we didn't have to worry, and he will definitely be back next time we need a hand! Highly recommended as first time users with a puppy.

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

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.
