Dog Sitting Waterloo

“Our two dogs always look forward for Keeley and Ethen’s visits! We particularly appreciate how responsive and accommodating Keeley and Ethen are. Most recently, our return flight got cancelled. We didn’t have a visit scheduled for that day but we shot Keeley a note and she was there first thing in the morning to take care of our furry babies. It meant a lot to us.”

About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly. I have taken care of both dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral issues, and senior pets. I love taking both on walks, car rides, park trips, etc. whatever they like to do! Currently working a hybrid job so I can work from home if needed. I’m more of a home body so I will have plenty of chill time with your fur babies. I also like going on outdoor adventures like walks and dog parks weather permitting. At home I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. There is one friendly dog and one solitary but other pet friendly senior cat. Both can be secluded to the upstairs if needed.

“Melissa took excellent care of our kitty. I was worried because we booked months in advance, but she did a great job. We received many pics and updates. It was wonderful to enjoy our trip without worrying about our pet☺️”

About: I’m back after a short hiatus!! I’m a lifelong animal lover but cannot have pets of my own at this time because of my housing situation. But turns out, this works out perfectly! So many people need a loving, responsible and reliable person to care for their homes and pets while they are away, so I am able to help out and also get my puppy/kitty cuddle fix! My 22 year old daughter and I do many jobs together, so we are basically two sitters in one! (Of course, I am always the sitter on any job booked through Rover.) I am self employed, so I have flexibility to work around your pet’s needs. I am available to spend the time needed to not only show your pets love and attention, but see to the needs of your home, plants, mailbox… you get the idea! And I will always be transparent about the times that I do need to be away, so that you can be sure you are choosing the right sitter for your pet’s needs. I do my very best to accommodate whatever your furbabies are used to so that they have the least possible amount of disruption to their lives when you are away. My hope is that your pets will soon see me as part of their family and will feel just as comfortable when I am there as when you are. (Don’t worry…. I will make sure they still love YOU more!)

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter/house sitter (3+ yrs) who is passionate about making pets feel safe and comfortable when I’m watching them! 🤗🐶 I am also an active person, so long walks (5+ miles), farm animal needs, or pet medical needs are totally okay with me. I take pride in being able to make my furry friends feel special and enriched during my time with them, so I frequently have clients tell me that their fur babies miss me when I leave! I am also a neat person who is up for completing any household tasks/chores while I’m watching your space. Outside of pet sitting, I have am a masters student (MPP) and researcher, which means I am in the office only occasionally: Mon-Thur, 10am-4pm (~6hrs) Federal Holidays I am off of work. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to come home for a quick potty break in the middle of the day! I am a very responsible, clean, and honest person who prioritizes communication and safety when I am watching your fur babies or your home. I understand the trust that my clients give me to watch over their homes and pets is very very sacred, and I am honored to give my clients the best possible experience. I frequently send updates (i.e. pictures/videos of my activities with the pets, weather reports if there are storms, etc.). I am also available by phone 24/7 for clients to reach out. I am flexible and open to completing household tasks (i.e. watering plants, cleaning, etc.) if need be.

About: We have five dogs of our own and we foster dogs as well. I grew up with many dogs and cats. I am comfortable working with newborn puppies up to senior pups. We have taken care of litters in our home. We loved and cared for our fur baby Zeke, our first child, until he was 17. I am comfortable with nervous dogs, excitable dogs, and everything in between. Our youngest dog, George, completed his therapy dog training in the spring. I look forward to working with him at hospitals and nursing homes in the community. I believe dog hair is an accessory that goes with everything. Your fur family member will be treated like one of my own! I am available during the school day Monday through Friday. I can do up to 2 visits a day - near 8am and around 1:30pm. We have crate trained our fosters and resident dogs, so I'm comfortable with that if it's your dog's routine. I believe in positive reinforcement! I will only give treats if provided so I can make sure they are safe for your dog and their specific nutrition needs.

About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time

About: As a healthcare worker, I have seen firsthand how healing animals can be. I have taken care of many different animals! I love spending time with pups and taking them for walks or to run errands. I have watched dogs/cats/rabbits/etc. since I was in middle school, and am super attentive! I currently do not have any dogs/cats, but I do have a 7 year old rabbit named Vito who is my whole world. I am currently a nursing student/CNA so my schedule allows flexibility for pet care. I am open to shorts visits, drop ins, pet hang outs, etc. I care for pets in my clients home by being attentive, loving, playful, and responsible! I provide the same care to other pets, as I do my own.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.

About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.
