“Veronica and her husband were great with our fur baby Opie. From the first hug and handshake I knew Opie was in great hands. Throughout my trip they were sure to send pictures everyday of Opie and were very prompt at responding to messages. I will definitely reach out again in the future and highly recommend them if anyone needs a pet sitter!”
“Laura did a great job taking care of my baby boy!! She was very accommodating when I had to extend my pick up time. Maison had a ball run in the yard and playing with the other dogs. All in all it was a good experience. 👍🏾”
“Jonathan was amazing with our pups, Gabe and Sasha. They were with him for 10 days over Christmas, and we were very comfortable knowing that they were well-loved and taken care of. Jonathan sent us pictures and videos throughout their stay, and he was very responsive to text messages. We'll definitely ask Jonathan to sit our fur babies again!”
“Nikki and her husband were incredibly dependable and kind. My dog, Leeno, had a great and happy time. Knowing that he was safe in their hands really helped me feel at ease. I am so thankful to have had Leeno in their care while I was away 😊.”
“Kelly is fantastic! Our dog Elle gets nervous around new people but warmed up to Kelly almost immediately. While we were away, she sent us pictures and detailed updates which were very appreciated!”
“Shayne was an amazing hostess to my boy Kai. Lord of pictures and Shayne was super friendly! I had no worries leaving him and I know he enjoyed his time with them!”
“You're always nervous leaving your little buddy with someone they don't know, especially an older dog when they have not really had that experience before. Madison and Brianna did a great job. Since Brianna is studying to be a vet tech, I felt confident and comfortable leaving my little dog with them.”
“Dorothy was wonderful! She communicated well through our pup’s stay. Also received precious pictures each day. I would definitely recommend her to be your fur baby’s petsitter.”
“Amanda took great care of our dog and cat while we were away! Our dog has some anxiety when we leave but Amanda and her family made him feel comfortable very quickly. We will definitely be booking again!”
“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”
“Emily and her family took great care of my special girl Cali - she was happy and healthy when I picked her up, communication and pictures during her stay plentiful, and I knew that she was being well-loved by the whole family. Definitely will stay with Emily again!”
“Tosha and Joe were very sympathetic to the concerns we had about our two German Shepherds being away from us for the first time, for an extended time. We chose them for three reasons: 1. They have a GSD of their own. 2. Joe is a full-time at home Rover dad. 3. They board a small number of dogs at one time. They were great at communicating with us whenever we had questions or concerns and sent pics to show how the dogs were settling in. Even though our pups did not have the amount of exercise they are accustomed to having in a fenced yard, we did not sense any anxiety when we returned. They have readjusted without a hitch-which speaks volumes of their security level with Tosha and Joe. We would definitely use them again.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Ashtan as our dog sitter! She took amazing care of our grand dog, Leo, while he was boarded at her home. Ashtan kept us updated with regular messages and adorable pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Leo absolutely loved his time with her—he looked happy and relaxed in every update. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Highly recommend Ashtan to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive sitter!”
“Brandy put the A in Amazing. She is truly phenomenal! She was very loving and communicative. Our fur baby enjoyed his stay and we definitely will choose Ms. Brandy whenever she is available.”

They are free to use the whole home and if they’re cuddlers they are also welcome to sleep in the bed at night. As a mother to both human children and furry children safety is my number one priority. I will take any additional precautions that you request. Separate room in home can be offered if they need alone time or to be fed separate from our pets.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterloo on Rover is $23.31 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterloo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
85% of Waterloo sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Waterloo landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waterloo home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Waterloo.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Waterloo sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
