“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!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I currently work Monday through Friday, but I’m available on weekends to provide loving and reliable pet care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.

“I can honestly say that We hit the lottery when we found Alexandra on Rover. She and her husband and two dogs were so caring, friendly and welcoming to our dog Grace who fell in love with her two dogs and the whole family. Alexandra was so responsible, caring and reliable. She gave great feedback and sent pictures and really put us at ease and gave us total peace of mind when we went away and when we picked up Grace she gave us good feedback and we could tell by our dog that she had fun and was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Alexandra and Rover to anyone needing services and could not thank her enough. Sincerely Mike and Jodi.🐶❤️”

“Manuela has definitely been one of the best sitters I’ve hired so far through Rover. She’s communicative, caring, and extremely attentive when it came to my two dogs. I am extremely fortunate to have found her last minute as another Rover sitter cancelled shortly before I needed to leave on a trip. Manuela has also been very flexible with our schedule and has only been accommodating when it came to pickup and drop off times. I highly recommend going with her for your pet care needs. You can tell she loves caring for other animals and is well experienced!”

They paid close attention to her feeding schedule, walks, and daily habits, helping her feel comfortable and at home while we were away. Communication was also excellent. We received regular updates and photos, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or messages. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dog and wanted to make sure she was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again!”

About: I own an Italian greyhound, and sighthounds have taught me a lot: reading their sensitive body language and using gentle handling and leash technique. I've also given medication to pets in my care, so I'm comfortable and confident handling pills, liquids, or other routine treatments your dog might need. I work remotely full time, which means I'm home and available every single day. Visits happen on a real schedule, not squeezed in around a commute. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your dog's routine as seriously as you do. I work remotely full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm home all day, every day, which means I have flexibility to schedule visits throughout the morning, afternoon, or evening depending on what works best for your dog's routine. I treat drop-in visits as a genuine break in my day, not something rushed between meetings, so your dog gets my full attention for the time I'm there. At home, I have a fully fenced backyard, which gives dogs safe space to play and get some energy out, plus a crate available if a dog is more comfortable with a den-like space or needs a calm, secure area to settle. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding routines, medication, or specific rules about doors, gates, or off-limits areas. I make sure everything is secured before and after each visit, including locking up behind myself, and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own.

“It was our first time having Buddy stay with Emily and we were very happy with our decision to do so. She kept us informed on how he was doing through pictures and texts. Emily and her family treated him like one of the family, and he appeared very content and relaxed in the pictures. I would not hesitate to have Buddy stay with Emily and her family again.”

About: Avid pet lover looking for fur babies to care for! All pets considered, senior, puppy, kitten, and everything in between. We have raised lots of animals in our home and would love to help with yours. We are a foster home for a few different rescues as well as Greenville county so have experience with many different personalities, temperaments, and quirks as well as administering medications, eye drops, etc. We have fostered bottle fed kittens, nursing mommas, and pregnant pups. I am a stay at home mom looking to pet sit, drop in, or walk whenever you need me. I have very open availability all week long. If you’d like your pets to stay with us we have a separate office space in the home they can use to decompress in until they are comfortable. 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. They are free to use the whole house as well.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Waterloo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Waterloo on Rover is $23 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $29 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 163 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

82% of sitters in Waterloo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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.
