Top rated Waterloo doggy day care sitters
“Amanda has been nothing short of amazing to work with. She’s quick to respond and provides clear answers. It was so nice that she texted updates and photos through his time there as well. Her dogs seemed very friendly and laid back. Our dog is very friendly as well but a bit high energy and that doesn’t always interest other dogs so the fact that they get along means we will definitely be returning customers. I’d recommend Amanda to anyone, our dog loved it and we felt he was in great hands.”
“Jodi responded right away after I inquired last minute about a daycare stay so we could explore the area while passing through on a road trip. Our doggy was slowly introduced to the other dogs, who were all so friendly, and she immediately ran off to play. She sent me pictures throughout the day of all the fun our dog was having and she was so tired on the way home. If we’re ever in the area again, I’d bring our dog back in a heart beat!”
“Amazing! Jessica cares for my pups as if they were her own! Always gives me plenty of updates and truly makes me feel at ease knowing my pups are in her hands! I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my babies 💕”
“Simon was amazing with Hazel! He kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. Hazel came home worn out from all the fun she had at Simon’s. We’re incredibly grateful for his patience, especially since Hazel is still learning her manners after we adopted her from the shelter a few months ago. Simon even went the extra mile by helping teach her commands. He’s been wonderful, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him for care again in the future.”
“Just an amazing person and sitter altogether! Stays in touch to keep you comfortable when you are away from your pupbabies! ..I would highly recommend this person! AAA +++ and beyond!”
“Ginny had a great time at Sean’s house! It was hot today so he kept her inside and she was good and tired when she got home. She even made me a painting which Sean sent a video of. We will definitely book again!”
“Ashleigh and family took care of our 12 week old Cairn Terrier puppy while we took a day trip to visit family out of town. She seemed instantly at ease with him, her daughters were obviously very good with dogs and we had little doubt our pup would enjoy his "camp" experience. He did and even made friends with their pug. We had been looking for a sitter during the week and gladly would go with Ashleigh if it was easier on the commute. Zero concerns and I highly recommend trying them out.”
“Kyla is AMAZING! My husband and I were in need of a sitter last minute and Kyla was quick to respond and super great at updates and communication. Our dog has been shedding a lot lately and Kyla took the time to groom her which was so kind! I can’t recommend Kyla enough for your dog sitting needs 🐶!”
About: Combining my certification in dog training and lifelong passion for dogs, I volunteered at a dog shelter and successfully nursed a critically ill foster pup back to health through attentive care and medication. This led to its well-deserved adoption into a loving home. I am able to accommodate a flexible schedule and am present at home on a daily basis. I would ensure the dogs are exercised and relieved at least 3-4 times daily. My yard is unfenced but when taking dogs outside, I ensure their safety by leashing them. My home is safe, secure, and suitable for dogs.
“Travis is such an attentive and kind host for daycare for our dog Scarlett. We always feel comfortable sending her to him, and she always has a great time with him and his dog Ginger. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing care for their dog.”

“Kieran and Nicole are so awesome! They've been doing doggy daycare for my pup Ube; they take great care of him and take lots of cute pics. 🥺 I'm so glad he gets to spend time in the yard and have company all day. He's gotten very comfortable with them and comes home happy. PLUS they are always so flexible with me when sometimes I make last minute bookings! So helpful.”
“Very nice and friendly. Was very concerned about leaving my dog with strangers, but they made him feel very comfortable and right at home. Really appreciate how well they took care of him. He was a little anxious at first, but seemed more at home when I got back to pick him up. Will definitely reach out again in the future.”

Suzanne H.
“We've gone to a couple of private trainers in the past- from IPO to classic behavioral training and Suzanne is the best. She keeps Goose and I in-check with commands and works on dog reactivity during boarding, which is a huge win for us. Her rates are better than other large boarding places in Columbus and Goose absolutely loves being at her house. We couldn't trust anyone more to take care of Goose and are thankful for her efforts and love she shows for animals. I would recommend Suzanne to ALL of our family and friends- she's amazing!”

Waterloo dog parents share their Rover experiences
My pug had a great time with Elizabeth! He came home happy and sleepy, so I know he had a great day! She was also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and would bring pug-man back in the future!
There aren’t enough positive things I can say about my experience with Kara and Paul watching my dog, Butters. He has a difficult time acclimating to new people and environments but he truly had the time of his life! I highly recommend trusting them with your own pets, and I know where I will be bringing mine when something comes up.
