“Laura has been wonderful to help with walking my two boxers Daisy and Izzy. She has been very accommodating and has went above her obligations as well as showing love and affection to my girls. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone I know!”
About: I enjoy playing and spending time with animals! My abilities extend from being able to go on long walks with energetic dogs, to simply providing comfort and affection to quiet cats. With my family owning many different rescue animals of our own, I have a lot of experience in caring and cleaning up after pets. I am currently on summer break, so I am able to stop by at almost any hour of any day! I have my own car, and should be free for most weeks of summer! For my cats I feed them wet food every night and scoop their litter. Alongside the litter, I often clean, sweep, and sometimes mop if needed for accidents. As for my dog, I try to walk him daily, and play with him every day during his hyper moods. We also try to visit the dog park often! I do have some experience in crafting together specialized meals for specific dietary needs.
“Ava was great with our dogs. She was very understanding on their needs and excitement. She provided updates and when the dogs didn’t want to walk, she still played with them. We will definitely continue to use her for any future needs.”
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

I’m currently transitioning into a new job, however weekdays I can be available after 3:30pm, as well as weekend open availability for overnights or drops or even just walks.

However I do have reliable transportation to get me to your home and tend to your fur baby!! I am great with any schedules left for me to follow as well as locking up prior to leaving.

Through owning and caring for pets, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and loving to care for your furry family members when needed. I currently work part-time as a Patient Care Assistant (PCA) with OhioHealth. My schedule is flexible, and I am available most days. With advance notice, I can often make additional accommodations to fit your pet care needs I also worked at Petland for two years during high school, where I gained hands-on experience working with a variety of dog breeds, personalities, and ages. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

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!

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.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My favorite thing to do with them is play and walk and let them enjoy nature! I just recently adopted a rescue puppy that is 4 months old and have a 13 year old senior dog. I love dogs of all ages and energy levels! I am a stay at home mom and both of my kids are in school during the day. I’m looking to find some furry friends to spend my day with. I treat my dogs like I treat my kids and make sure they’re cared for. We play, go outside, go on walks, get treats, and go to the dog park. I watch and listen to them to see how much energy they have that day.
About: I’ve always been an animal person, I love all dogs and cats! Friends, family, and coworkers have relied on me watching, walking, feeding, and bathing their fur babies.

About: Hello! I am a dog and small animal lover! I currently care for my senior dog at home, so I understand the extra love, patience, and attention older pets need, whether it's administering medication, assisting with mobility, or just offering a calm presence. I have experience with both big and small dogs, and I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or anything in between, I’m here for it!

I’m also respectful of your space, keeping things tidy and secure. For pets with special needs, like senior dogs or small animals/fish, I take extra time to make sure they’re safe and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of little ones all the way to seniors. I am very comfortable in walks, grooming, preparing meals, house sitting, giving medication, park trips and house calls. Animals are my weakness, I absolutely adore them! I currently work part-time and I make my own schedule. I am very flexible and I can be where I’m needed with short notice.

We really needed someone to help walk our dog Sadie. We greatly appreciate everything Emma has done for us. She walked her in the rain even longer than the scheduled time today. My wife and I definitely recommend her for any dog care and I am certain other animal care as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Waterloo on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Waterloo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Waterloo.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waterloo. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
