“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!!😁”
“I don’t think you could find a better sitter than Doyle! Macy was well-cared for, and had a great time there! She got to socialize with other dogs her size, went for walks in the parks, and received lots of attention! We recommend him highly!”
“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.”
“Lynsee and her family were amazing! She sent pictures of my dog everyday and made it a lot easier knowing my pup was in good hands while I was away enjoying my vacation! Will definitely use her again!”
“Bryanne was amazing! She took very good care of my pup Apollo and he definitely seemed to have lots of fun! Very responsive and provided updates! We will definitely come back to her!”
“Keeley and Ethan are so friendly and loving toward our pup! We love that our dog gets to play with their dog :) We know he is in good hands while we are away!”
“It was not the first time we leave our setter overnight with a dog sitter, but it was one of the most pleasant ones. Emily communicates exceptionally well either on details of the visit or updates on your dog stay. On any inquiry she replies almost immediately. She is very well organized, very clear with her expectations, attentive to dog’s (owners’ ) preferences and observant of dogs she watches . Our dog was very happy with his 3 days stay in Emily’s house. He spent most of the time playing, but he was not agitated, overexcited or restless when we picked him up. We had some concerns about our very joyful and playful dog being around 3 years old and treating her as a playmate, but both of them minded their own business. We highly recommend Emily and definitely will be back.”
“Kayle and her family were amazing! They took such great care of my dog. They sent pictures and updates. I felt so confident that my pup was being taken care of and having fun while I was gone. I’m so grateful I found them on here! I will absolutely book them again :)”
“This family is the best. Hannah and Will were so accommodating and kind and attentive to not only our dog but to us as well. This was the first time we used Rover in about 3 years so I was pretty particular. Hannah and her family were a perfect fit for our 4 yr old pup. They have two other dogs who were so playful and welcomed mine rt into their pack. They also have two young daughters who knew exactly how to safely approach our dog for the first time and all times after that. They were excellent listeners to their parents and were thoroughly excited to welcome our dog into their home. And within a few hours …maybe minutes…our dog was snuggling rt up to them. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent many photo updates! They even taught him to “stay” out of kitchen while they ate, as do their other 2 dogs. We have already booked her for July. Thank u Hannah and Will.”
“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.”
“Kelly was fantastic and we will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future. She took great care of our pup and sent lots of pictures and videos during the stay. Thank you Kelly!”
“We are so happy that we found Jessica and Robert to watch our dogs. They really got to know our dogs and their personalities and care for them just like they were their own dogs.”
“This was my first time leaving my dogs with anyone that wasn’t family. Roger made them feel right at home and was very good with them! Sent pictures and kept me updated on how they were! Highly recommend!”
“My puppy NE has now stayed with Angela twice and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. I always think NE is sad to come home, but that's a great thing because it means she had so much fun. I never worry when I'm away from her!”
“Danielle was awesome! It was our first time leaving both our dogs with a sitter outside of home and I was nervous but she and her family put me at ease right away! My pups are both young but she said they did well and they definitely seem happy and healthy but tired out from their weekend away! She kept them busy and sent us regular updates. We could not be more happy with our experience!”
“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!”
“Andrea and her family are extremely loving and patient. She sent updates and lots of pictures of our senior dog and puppy while we were away. Both dogs were well taken care of and loved.”

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Waterloo on Rover is $28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
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.

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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
