“Maddie is so caring! Our cat comes to see Maddie each time she comes. We couldn’t be happier about this. Our kitty is extremely shy and his love to Maddie is a sign of her genuine care.”
“Amazing pet sitter! I always have complete peace of mind knowing my pets are in such caring and trustworthy hands. Great communication, dependable service, and lots of love for my pets. I highly recommend!”
“Laura has been lovely to work with! Not our first review and very likely not our last. She has sat for our pup multiple times in various forms and it’s always a positive experience. She sends multiple photos, keeps us updated on his potty and drink status, and genuinely shows she cares about him, which is most important in my book!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats and kept them from getting so bored while we were out of town! We will be using her again in the near future. Our furballs enjoyed her company!!!!!”
“Alexa is excellent with our pets. She engages them in playtime and takes care of them with a smile. Would highly recommend Alexa for anyone who wants to be certain their pets are in good hands!”
“We just love Ms. Pat. We hire her several times a month for many different services. Highly recommend her. I trust her wholeheartedly with my babies (dogs) and my home”
“How we love Marae!! She is so kind and took such good care of our pups! I feel like I overloaded her with a lot of information to only care for our dogs for a day, but she followed everything so beautifully and went above and beyond. The photos helps me be confident that my dogs are taking care of. Honestly, my dogs are really chill, but I could tell in every picture that they were so comfortable with her and that meant the world to me. Please please book with her if you get the opportunity! I can’t wait to work with her again.”
“Madelyn did a great job on the Drop in Visits for my fur babies! She sent me updates and made sure they were well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in the future.”
“Travis is going to be my go to guy whenever I need a pup sitter! He was terrific; I got updates and pictures and funny stories about what my dogs were up to during his visits, and my dogs were always so happy in the pictures. Travis was very prompt and conscientious, two qualities I admire very much. If you are on the fence about having a person come into your home and take care of your pups, jump off that fence and hire Travis!!! 😀”
“Kam was amazing!! We have a very anxious dog who did not do well in boarding, so decided to do a dog sitter. Our dog has regressive behavior and Kam knew exactly how to work with our dog's personality. This time he was in such better spirits and so happy when we got home. There were no accidents, nothing chewed. Kam came every visit, sent photos and spent 30 minutes each visit. I am definitely using Kam again in the future!”
“Very friendly, readily available, and great communicators. I felt like my pet was happy and safe in their care and comfortable with them in our home. They even brought in a package for us from our doorstep. Great pet-sitters and we will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“We've never had such a good sitter for our two cats! One of our cats had special needs recovering from and injury and Jenny did a great job helping him. We have no doubt Jenny cared for our little guys like they were her own. Beyond thankful for such great care.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I work as a teacher Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because of this, I’m most available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and overnight stays during the week. My schedule also allows for consistent availability on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of my work hours.
“Booked Taylor for about a week and everything was just as I left it. The cats were healthy and happy when I got back. Taylor was very communicative and I would book her again”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Raised from a puppy to senior and believe they are wonderful blessings to everyone. My personal pets have been pugs, English bulldogs, dachshunds, rottweilers, pit bulls, and many more growing up. I enjoy getting to know each dog or cat’s need and have them enjoy their time with me. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable when you are away from home. I work remotely and letting your dog out often is never an issue. If I’m out on Saturday or Sunday it’ll only be for an hour or two. We will take breaks often to let your dog feel comfortable. When I am caring for your pet in your home, I want to know their preferences and what makes them the most comfortable while you are away. If they have a special blanket or toy, please let me know so they can have something to keep them happy while I’m there. I also want to know what makes you as the pet parent most at ease. Help me support you and your pet.
“Kylie provided phenomenal care for our cat Winnie and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we travel! We had no worries for Winnie’s care. We knew through Kyle’s many photos and the consistent communication with us that all was well.❤️”
About: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it. I can make the best out of any situation. Coming into a client’s home I will always ask the routine and/or needs your pet(s) has and make sure to keep them company when they need it
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family and deserve the very best care. I am dependable, punctual, and detail-oriented, and I take pride in following care instructions exactly as requested to help keep your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets who require extra attention, including administering medications, monitoring health concerns, following special feeding instructions, and maintaining medication schedules. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and care, I am committed to meeting their individual needs with kindness and compassion. My husband says we’re not allowed to add any more pets to our family, so I’d love the opportunity to spoil yours instead! My goal is to make both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and to treat every furry family member as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home wife, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate a variety of booking requests. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and quick responses for added peace of mind while you’re away. I am happy to care for pets in either my home or the client’s home, depending on what works best for the pet and owner. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, exercise, playtime, medication schedules, and lots of love and attention. I follow all instructions carefully and provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed while their pets are in my care.

Krystal watched my 2 cats every other day for over 3 weeks. They warmed up to her very quickly. You can tell she loves cats and enjoys spending time with them. Even with my crazy schedule, she was able to accommodate me. She is a great communicator, and I will be using Krystal again.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Waterloo on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,234 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waterloo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
