“I am thoroughly happy to hear that my boys had a great time at her house and just an overall great experience. Jill was pretty great with them, treating them as if they were her pets which is amazing. Will definitely be booking with her for future pet sitting needs...thank you!!😁”
“Wonderful experience! Maya came back happy and lively, and Doyle was sure to send me pictures of Maya's goings-on during her stay -- a nice reminder that all is well and I can enjoy my vacation without worry. I recommend Doyle and will definitely call on him again!”
“Nicole and her family seemed to do a great job taking care of our dog. She sent updates everyday on what they did and how she was doing. We picked Sunny up tired, happy, and healthy. Thank you Nicole.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Emily was great. Ace enjoyed himself he was wore out when we got home. I would definitely recommend 10 out of 10. She sent pictures daily and responded to my text. Like I said 10 out 10.”
“Keeley and Ethan cared for our golden retriever puppy for a week. It was a last minute request and they responded quickly. They have a great size fenced yard. We hope they can watch him in the future. Open communication and pictures of him while we were gone. They took great care of Clyde and we would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“We went on vacation for a week and left our babies at Bryanne’s for the first time. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dogs! When we returned, they were happy and groomed :D. Thanks Bry!”
“I was so nervous to leave my pup at a complete strangers house but it went so well. Lynsee sent me messages, pictures, even a video of my dog throughout the night. Our dog played so hard with her dogs that he didn't move the while next day. It's was great. Highly recommend”
“Milo had the very best time this week! He was cared for so well and has been missing Maya very much since he came back home. We can't recommend Jessica and Robert enough and look forward to using their services again the next time we go out of town!”
“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!”
“My two fur babies loved staying with Susan and her friendly handsome dog, Norman. This was the first time we had Susan watch them and it was for 10 days. Susan sent pictures every day and I swear the pups were smiling in every picture. There were even pictures of my pups sleeping and cozied up to her dog. I will definitely be using her again as I feel confident they are getting great care and more importantly a lot of love...”
“My pups came back so happy and sleepy! They loved their time with Angela! And I felt so much better knowing they were in her home and not in a kennel at a store. They had lots of fun!”
“I’m late posting a review, but wanted to be sure to recognize the wonderful care my Lily beagle was given by Colin, Danielle and family. This was my first time to have Lily stay with them, so was a bit nervous. It went so well, I sure hope they are available when I next have to travel. Can’t get a better review then that from me!”
“Andrea was an awesome sitter for our nine year-old Golden. This was the first time we’ve used Rover and we could not be happier! Andrea and her family treated Dundee like one of their own pets, making sure she asked us anytime there was any issue, playing with him, walking him, and routinely engaging with us and sending pictures. we would gladly use her anytime.”
“Alexis did an amazing job during Tommy's first stay. The vibe of her home was super welcoming and Tommy settled right in. She kept me updated throughout the stay and took great care of my guy. Highly recommended!”

There are 431 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.
