Top rated Waterloo dog boarders

“Highly recommend Jaclyn! Although I’d kind of like to keep her a secret! You can tell she is dog lover! My dog had fun running with their dogs! Would definitely use her again!”


“I love my dogs to death! They’re truly treated like and spoiled like kids. It’s always hard to leave them to be cared by others. This was my first time choosing something different than your typical overnight boarding kennel place. I hate for my dogs to be in kennels most of the day. I can’t thank Toni enough for the amazing care she and her family provided for my two dogs! I loved the fact that they were always roaming around their home and not in cages. I appreciated the daily communication and the photos. Most importantly, I appreciated the love they provided my dogs while under their care. For someone looking for a better option than a kennel, Toni is a way better option and honestly has become my top pick for future dog care needs! Thank you so much for caring for my dogs. I guess the only downside was that they received so much love and care they didn’t want to leave her house ☺️.”



“We left our yellow lab mix with Jill and her family for nine days while we were out of town for a family wedding. She did a great job sending us updates and loving our pup while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again in the future if needed!”


“Ashley and her daughters were wonderful!! My dog just stayed the one night and we where driving thru town. It was great to know he was well taken care of and not cooped up in a hotel room! Thank you so much!”


“We had an awesome experience with Allyson. She is a true animal lover and treated our dog like she was her own. She was great with daily communication and sent lots of cute pictures. Definitely recommend Allyson.”


“Cheryl was really responsive and has a super welcoming and calm approach. She was great with my dog who had never been boarded or around other dogs! I’ll use Cheryl again!”


“Andrea was super communicative from the start and made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our pups! We got to meet up and make sure we were all comfortable, we got updates on the dogs throughout the week, and pick up afterwards was super easy! Extremely flexible and professional. We would feel very confident trusting Andrea with our dogs in the future!”


“Stephanie is amazing! We feel so much comfort when leaving our fur baby with her. We know he is well taken care of and will get all the love from her and her family as if he is one of their own.”



“Annur has been so wonderful these past few days with Bentley. She has kept me posted with pictures throughout the duration of his stay and has catered to his exercise needs and daily habits. Highly recommended and I will be rebooking in the future.”

“Elvis loved his vacation while my partner and I were on ours! I felt he was very well cared for and the whole booking from beginning to end was flawless. Would recommend Sarah and Jason to any pet owner.”


“Dazhi was so amazing with our cat! She was giving us frequent updates and did everything to make she feel comfortable with her. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future :)”


“Everything went smoothly with Torey. We changed dates several times and she was accommodating and friendly. Most of all, her care of Koda was A+ and we will definitely use Torey again in the future.”

“Bailey and her family did amazing with Moose. Our sitter canceled on us week before our trip and she was willing to watch our 3 month old puppy on short notice. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Moose had a great time and he will definitely be back! Thank you so much!!”



“My dog loved being at her house. She immediately took to the occupants. There were toys galore that she spread all over the place. The pictures shared of her let me know she was doing great. Very positive experience for us.”


“Natalie was amazing and my two dogs did great!! The communication was fantastic and received daily (or more) updates and pictures of the boys. I will definitely use her again! Highly recommended!!”


“Kelly was a wonderful caregiver for our dog Daisy for 10 days while we were on vacation! She welcomed her into her home, treated her like her own, and sent us updates along the stay. I highly recommend Kelly!”


“We are so happy to be able to trust Kylie and Landon with Hooch! It was hard for us to be away for so long but getting photos and updates made the separation much easier. We could tell how happy Hooch was while we were gone!”


“Our dog absolutely loved her time with Hannah’s family. We loved and appreciated all of the updates and pictures. Our pup had a blast and we definitely will be having puppy play dates in the future!”


“Our pup Polly loved staying with Janet. Janet was very patient, knowing she just turned one and still has that puppy energy! We really appreciate the daily updates and pictures. We highly recommend Janet!”

Over 16 pet parents in Waterloo have booked dog boarding
Waterloo dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ann was wonderful! She accepted a somewhat last-minute request to board Lizzy, my senior dog. Although Lizzy is anxious and shy, she eventually felt at home and grew comfortable with Ann. I really appreciate how Ann kept me well informed of my dog’s status and sent several photos. She administered Lizzy’s meds and walked her twice a day. It was a great situation for my dog. I would definitely board Lizzy with Ann again.
