“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”
“She helped me out so much when I was in a real pinch. I would have had to cancel my vacation without her help. I will definitely be taking my dog back. He seemed to have had the time of his life playing with her dogs. I would highly recommend leaving your dog in her very dog friendly hands.”
“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.”
“Amazing Rover! We got a lot of videos and photos while we were gone! Our dogs were well taken care of and totally worn out when they got home! In fact, they’re still tired as of Monday morning!! Will definitely be booking Thomas again!!”
“Emily was fantastic. She sent photos and gave daily updates on how Roscoe was doing. Very comforting for our first experience with leaving our 10 mo old puppy. Would definitely have Roscoe stay with her again.”
“What a wonderful first time experience! Stephanie and her family were wonderful with our 2 pups! It was so nice to have them in a home where they were cared for like we would care for them. It was great receiving pictures and/or videos of our pups while gone. We missed them so much and this always made it better! Thank you so much for everything! We’ll be coming back!”
“Anja was fantastic with our yellow lab and took such good care of her while we were gone. She communicated daily and sent pictures and videos. She was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter!”
“Absolutely top-notch care for our two little Schnauzers who had only stayed away from us once in their lives! They walked them, played with them, took them to the dog park and even bathed them! We forgot their treats and they supplied them some!”
“Super nice family and very responsive. A loving vacay for our pup while the humans went on vacation. Would highly recommend having your pup or dog stay with them.”
“We’d never done private personal dog care before and we were blessed to have Bethany be our first sitter. Bethany was very attentive as if Jax was her own dog. Staying with Bethany and her family seemed to keep Jax calm and relaxed. We will ask for Bethany again.”
“Bryanne and her family were fantastic. Bryanne is a knowledgeable handler and integrated our dogs with her own quickly and peacefully. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bryanne again.”
“Kay and Hutch were amazing! Our dog was truly home away from home in their care! They went above and beyond taking care of our dog, here are just a few things they did: lots of pictures, videos and text updates, numerous walks, plenty of toys, and they have a few puzzle boards that they hid treats in! Wonderful people, and a wonderful stay for our pet! We would 100% have them watch our dog again! Our dog had so much fun she has been missing them! Thank you again!”

There are 437 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.
