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.
“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’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.
About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for kids and animals. I started babysitting when I was 10 and I got my golden retriever Delilah at age 13. Over the recent years owning my rescue pup, Frida, I’ve learned how to encourage good behavior and how to create comfortable environments for dogs to get along and have all their needs met. I know lots of great places to hike and am happy to get an ideal amount of exercise even if it’s cold out. Taking care of my own dog, Fridabird is my number one priority so I’ve got plenty of time to share the love with yours as well. I walk at least a mile or thirty minutes every day, going on longer hikes once to three times a week or more. When we are relaxing at home I pay attention to body language to see when they need to go out, and I always give them a short walk before bed. I am not overly cuddly and affectionate with dogs I dont know, I let them come to me and then give them all the attention they need. I can handle dogs that need clear boundaries and multiple dogs at a time. My own pup likes to go everywhere with me so please let me know if you prefer she not be there. I drive around the greater Greenville area to design bathrooms in homes for my main job Tuesday through Saturday. I have one to three meetings per day. Other than that I work from home and have no competing responsibilities! My own dog is really easy going, although she is big and looks slightly intimidating she does not act aggressively at all and has a great sense of boundaries with dogs of all sizes and ages. Chickens and cats on the other hand she does not do well with. I myself am happy to accommodate any environmental needs.
About: Hi, my name is Sarah! As a dog mom myself (I have a 17 year old Yorkie named Ruby), I know how special our pets are to our hearts and the importance of finding a great, caring sitter for those times when we must be away. In addition, I have ample pet-sitting/walking experience with both large and small breed dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, raccoons, and a variety of other animals. I’m responsible, kind, and genuinely love critters of all kinds! I’m also more than happy to provide references, if requested. Please message me if you have any questions! Pet care is incredibly important to me. Therefore, I prioritize and customize my routine based on pets’ needs to ensure that they are cared for to the highest standard. I am happy to care for pets in the client’s home or in my own, depending upon the client’s needs/preferences. I feed, walk, play, take out for potty breaks, and spend quality time with pets. I am also comfortable with giving medication to pets if needed.
“Susannah was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my sweet girl. I will absolutely have her back and would recommend her to anyone needing their baby looked after!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and family friends ever since I was 8. I have fostered kittens, raised a puppy, and kept my own pets in the best health possible for 10+ years with love and proper care. Pet care fits into my daily routine in many aspects. Feeding, walking, and letting my dogs out is something I couldn’t go a day without missing. I will care for others pets in just the same way I care for my own. With my whole heart! Animals are innocent creatures who deserve nothing but special and loving care. I am willing to abide by any requests or special rules for pets, including medicine requirements, care schedules, and eating schedules.
About: I have boarded dogs and cats for more than 12 years. I have lots of extra time to keep your babies loved and safe. I have animal first aid and have cared for many chronically Ill animals. I am able to work from home. This allows time with the animals I board or stay with. I love what I do very much. I have a big fenced in back yard and lots of toys to play with. It is a privacy fence so no undue stress for anxious animals.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waterloo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Waterloo with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
