“This was my first Pet Sitter experience with Bradley and what I think stands out the most to me about Bradley is that he genuinely cared about and for our dog, Huxley, while we were away. I know a lot of people say that they love animals, but you could see the authenticity in Bradley as he greeted and played with Huxley. I highly recommend Bradley”

About: I’ve been raised around animals and have always adored them. I am 20 years old and have four animals of my own. A dog named Panda, two cats Severus and Luna, and a bearded dragon named Sirius. I truly see animals as family, not just pets. I worked at a dog/cat boarding kennel in high school and have always had animals of my own. I work as a Nanny and am a full time online college student. I have lots of availability during mornings-afternoons for doggie walks, or just pet check ins. I’d love to help take care of your beloved animals 😊❤️ I also have experience with extremely fearful dogs. I’m currently in my Sophomore year of college online. So I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have morning-afternoon availability every day. And I frequently have evening-weekend availability. While staying in your home I will care for your pets like they’re my own. I will take them on multiple daily walks, feed and bathe them if needed. While I’m lucky to have my own Dog I know lots of great doggie parks and dog friendly hiking spots if that’s something you would be comfortable with me doing with your furry companion.

About: Hi there! I am a fear free certified Dog Trainer with a passion for animals of all sizes. Growing up, I had the opportunity to live with and care for a variety of animals including livestock, dogs, cats, pocket pets, aquatic animals, and more. In my free time, I cared for dogs and cats residing at the local animal shelters, providing them with loving attention and exercise. I have also fostered dogs and cats of all ages in my home providing them with a safe, loving, and enrichment-filled environment until they find their forever home. Throughout my stay, you can expect to receive daily updates covering their activities and overall well-being. This can include written updates, photos, or short clips of their daily activities. I am skilled at administering medications as needed and can provide specialized care for your pets. I follow your daily routine strictly and provide mental stimulation for both cats and dogs to ensure the smoothest transition until you return. I look forward to meeting you and thank you for your time! I am currently providing pet care and training fulltime so I will be able to provide your pet with my full attention throughout their stay. They will be cared for as if they were my own. I will follow the routine your pet is used to and be sure to provide extra love and attention to help them settle in comfortably.

About: I grew up around numerous animals including dogs, cats, goats, ducks, chickens, horses, tortoises, and even peacocks. I love playing outside and going on walks. Companionship is key for a happy pet and I understand the stress of leaving your furry loved ones behind. I am experience with caretaking of just about any animal and would be honored to be trusted with your loved one:) This summer I am pretty free and starting in August I will be available during evenings and on weekends. Feel free to ask about times as I may be able to make an exception. I have 2 dogs of my own and three cats and would prefer to come to you. You can let me know if you pet as a preferred walking route and request how I spend my time with them.

“Lexi was awesome. We had some technical issues with our house that made her stay a little less comfortable than we had hoped for but we were able to walk her through the fixes. Dublin absolutely loved Lexi and was quite upset when we came home. Josie, as shy as she is, even came out for some treats from Lexi. That doesn't happen often. I truly thank Lexi for taking care of Dubs and Josie for us. I hope we can have Lexi house sit for us again!!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for more than 20 years, and animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I understand that pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family. I’m loving, patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and needs. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, behavior, comfort, and safety. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or curl up next to me for cuddles, I want them to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and cared for. ❤️ My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. I enjoy being able to spend quality time with each pet rather than rushing through a visit. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and individual needs will always be top priority. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are extremely important to me. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, boundaries, and any special needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I provide lots of affection, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while always keeping safety first. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I have raised three pets of my own, one dog and two cats as well as being raised with family pets. I have plenty of experience taking care of my family and friend’s pets. I am comfortable with cats, dogs, or really any animal. I can meet your pet where they’re at with energy levels, personalities and their quirks. I am able to administer medication if needed. I am in school and work part time but I am free to check-in or walk your pet around those obligations. I have availability almost every afternoon/evening and can do earlier in the morning depending on the day. I can check in on your pet as much as they need, make sure they are fed and watered. If you have cats I can clean litter boxes for them. If you have dogs I can take them out for potty breaks and walks.

FAQs for House Sitting - Waterloo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Waterloo on Rover is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $64 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waterloo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Waterloo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Waterloo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Waterloo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waterloo. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
