“We have used Ksenia twice and have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her! She has taken such great care of our little one. We will use her again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Mary wadwonderful! My cats are a lot. In number and in issues. She never missed a beat and even guarded one while she fed her under the couch!! Thanks so so much!!! If you are wondering, wonder no more and use her!”
“Natalie was great with our pets and took good care of everyone. A few need daily medications and she did well with everything and followed the instructions. We would definitely use Natalie again in the future!”
“We couldn't be more pleased with Karlie. We've never used a pet sitter before (instead used friends) so we weren't really sure what to expect. Karlie was such a warm hearted pet sitter and her care for animals really showed. She went outta her way to make sure our dogs were all watched over while we were out of town. She came by twice a day to check on them and let them run around, while refilling food/water. Such peace knowing our dogs had such a good caretaker in our absence and gave us an ability to enjoy our time out of town without worry. So glad we've met Karlie as we can take some trips this year and not have to worry about our dogs!”
“Heather is awesome! Super patient with my two very shy skiddish cats. Heather did everything I asked and gave me great updates on how my cats were doing. I felt I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in great hands. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, so I understand their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am a full time college student however many of my classes are in the mornings and I have practice in late evenings. So I am available throughout the day to drop in and take care of your pet. Weekends I usually have nothing going on and can spend the whole day watching your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and respect your space while providing your pet with plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of many family and friend pets. I’ve had multiple dogs if my own and currently have a 6 year old Great Dane who I take care of on my own. I am a college student who loves spending time and taking care of animals. I would be able to work almost anything into my schedule. I will drop by to feed and play with your pets as much as needed. We will have play dates and can go for walks.
About: Hi! I’ve loved, owned, and cared for dogs almost my whole life. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Pets are truly family, and I provide exceptional care for your four-legged baby. I am a full-time teacher who works 7-3 Monday through Fridays. I am available evenings and weekends day and night to pet sit or dog walk. Pets are family! I strive to provide exceptional care to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I am happy to work with your pet’s individual needs to ensure an excellent experience.
“Very very appreciative of Kathryn. She was so helpful and ensured that all of our pets’ needs were met, going above and beyond to make sure that everything went well. I’ve had a few less than pleasant experiences on here, so coming home to happy pets and no mess was a relief. I absolutely recommend booking with her.”
About: In this house, pets are treated like family members. They get all the love, attention, and snuggles (of course) that they deserve. Experience includes puppy and senior care. Over the summer months, I’m not working allowing for open flexibility to tend to pet needs. During school months, I work from home with ample breaks and opportunities for frequent walks and attention. Dogs are always walked on leashes. There are plenty of grassy areas within my complex for walking with a dog park included. I provide particular and full attention to the pets needs and meet the desires established by the owner. I go over and beyond in showering love/attention and ensuring safety.
About: All my life I was raised to care for animals. I developed a love for them like no other at a very young age. So, when I decided to leave a normal 9-5 job I stumbled across Rover and found my passion. I absolutely adore caring for animals and when I care for yours I will make sure that they are loved and cared for as I would love and care for my own. After my children moved out my schedule became open. I am available at any time to care for your fur babies and am more than happy to do so. When it comes to having a stranger in your home I can understand the uncertainty that comes with. I am here to ensure that you feel comfortable when you need to leave not only your house but your animals. We will have complete open communication at all times and I will make sure to follow all rules set.
About: Hello! My name is Rachel Glynn, I am 24 years old, and am born and raised in the Greenville area! I graduated from Clemson in 2024 with my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and again in 2025 with my Masters in the Art of Teaching. I have been working with pets, children, and housesitting since I was 14 years old, so for 10 years now! I am incredibly responsible, organized, punctual, and energetic, but am also extremely adaptable to your pet’s attitude/home environment to make everyone as comfortable as possible! I have 5 cats (4 female and 1 orange male), 2 female dachshunds, and one female African Gray Parrot. The more the merrier! I am capable and comfortable with any task given, from walking pets, bathing, changing litter boxes and diapers, feeding, giving medicine, etc! There’s pretty much nothing I wouldn’t do! I love animals and children more than anything, so please reach out if you need someone to love on your baby/babies! I just moved back from teaching English abroad in Madrid, Spain this past month, and my fiancé and I are moving out of the country to his hometown in December, so I am currently unemployed while we prepare for the move, so I have 24/7 availability! I can and will do exactly as the owner of the pet(s) ask of me, and they can be ensured that their pet is in the best care with full attention and safety. But overall, they can be promised that their baby will be loved and protected at all times.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my whole life! My current pet, Gus, is a pomeranian-bichon. Im experienced in dog sitting and training. Fun fact, i’ve also had fancy mice before! I’d love to ease your mind and give your babies the care they need when you’re unable to. I am working Part-Time, so on days that I work, i can be available before 10, and after 7:30. On days when I’m off, I can do anytime! I have a fenced in yard that accommodates my 3 dogs here at home. We also take care of several strays in the neighborhood that have a little sanctuary on the front porch.
“Sarah takes great care of my two boys when I need her without hesitation, she does an outstanding job! The boys love her and welcome her while I am away, this means so much that they feel safe with her care. We highly recommend Sarah to care for your pet’s needs, she is very reliable and communicates well.”
About: I have trained two dogs and they are well behaved. Dogs are my favorite animal in the entire world and I love them very very much. I’m home all the time and I’m always always taking care of my puppy and I do train her constantly. She’s amazing. I love her. I wake up very early and I take my puppy outside. I feed her and make sure all my other animals are good. Always home

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Waterloo on Rover is $19.43 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
