“10/10 recommend!! Will book again. -Great communication even if I couldn’t respond - Lots of pictures!! - Super nice family in general - Worked with me through a last minute trip reschedule!!! Generally just a great experience. If they’re open, definitely use them!!”
“Vance is the absolute best person we’ve ever had take care of our dogs! He is super friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. He reached out to me every day, sent me pics and videos of our dogs, and responded immediately every time I checked in with him. He has a beautiful house with a very high fence, which was important for us since one of our dogs is a high jumper. He even gave our dogs a bath before they came home! After meeting Vance, we never once worried about our babies. They were so well taken care of, and we loved that someone was with them 24/7. They also got to play with other dogs he was watching at the same time. It is apparent just how much Vance loves dogs, and how much dogs love Vance! We plan to always book with him in the future!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Torey provided for my dog, Mel. From the moment we met, it was clear that Torey genuinely loves dogs and has a natural ability to make them feel comfortable and loved. She kept me updated throughout with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. Mel, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to Torey and her family right away and returned home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Torey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She treated our fur baby like one of her own. She was extremely flexible and even kept our dog an extra day when we asked to extend our trip. 10/10 would recommend, and we will be using her again!”
“We had the most pleasant experience! This was our first time ever using Rover, and they made it such a positive one. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were receiving lots of love and attention! We honestly felt like they were being spoiled the entire time! They truly went above and beyond for our pups and treated them as if they were their own. Their care, communication, and kindness made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them and would absolutely trust them with our dogs again. ❤️🐾”
“This is the second time that Keeley and Ethan watched our boy, George. We feel so comfortable leaving him in their care. George loves it!! Great communication. Keeley sends pictures of our boy and it makes this mama feel so good! Highly recommend and wouldn’t use anyone else.”
“Anja was wonderful with our dog Nyla! Nyla got lots of exercise and loving care when she stayed with Anja. Nyla reportedly behaved well and got along great with Anja’s two dogs. I got pictures and sometimes videos of Nyla’s antics. Although we missed her while we were away, I knew Nyla was I. Good hands with Anja.”
“We were so incredibly impressed with the care that our nine-year-old lab received. The care, the thoughtful messages, and attention to our dogs needs were extraordinary. Could not ask for a better experience for her!”
“5 star household! Our old man was so tired from all the play time. They provided great photos and updates and showed concern when he had a bit of bleeding from tug of war. Knowing they pay attention to details gave us additional peace of mind.”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with Pandy! She was very careful, attentive, and made sure Pandy was comfortable and well-cared for throughout her stay. One thing I really appreciated was how thoughtfully she documented Pandy’s activities, she has an amazing eye for photography and shared lots of adorable pictures that truly captured Pandy’s personality. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Pandy was in such good hands.”
“Robert was wonderful with our dog. He was a great communicator both before and after the booking. It’s so hard leaving our pup behind but we felt reassured he was in good hands with Robert. We hope that when we need to board again Robert will be available!”
“Melanie was fantastic! She took the time to get to know both me and my dog before we left, and she was very thorough in going over his feeding instructions and walking routine. Every day we were away, she sent updates with photos of their walks, feeding time, playtime, and how he was doing throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog was well cared for and happy while we were gone. I will definitely be booking Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Ian. He was available and accommodating for my two Frenchies. They had an extended stay with Ian and his fur babies and were returned to me happy and well kept! Ian kept us updated with information and photos as needed and was prompt to respond whenever we had questions! 100% recommend.”
“We just moved to town and feel so fortunate we found Nicole to dog sit. Our dog can be very hesitant of new people and scared to death of fireworks. Her whole family went above and beyond to take care of Magic over the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend”
“Thomas was wonderful! My husband and I were celebrating our wedding 10 hours away and Thomas made our special day very stress free knowing our puppies were in great hands. I would use his services again and recommend to anyone who is even remotely hesitant about leaving their animals, I can assure they are in great hands. Oh and you’ll get the best videos! Thank you again Thomas you’ve been beyond helpful and we appreciate your flexibility!!”
“Angela was great and I loved the environment that Lucky was in while he stayed with her. He had all of the other doggies to play with and she has a huge backyard for them to run around. It’s like a little dogs paradise! Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“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!”

There are 425 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Waterloo. About 93% of Waterloo sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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 are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
