“Ashley (Cash) was awesome! She did an exceptional job with our three fur babies that can be hard to handle sometimes! But they all loved her! She did a very good job at keeping us updated with our babies and sent plenty of pictures! We look forward to reusing her again in the future!”
“Jordan went above and beyond to make our cats and parrots comfortable. It was such a relief to know someone was looking in on them and giving them some attention while we were gone!”
“Mell did an excellent job again taking care of my cat with daily drop in visits over 10 days. She is very detail oriented and tells me when she notices anything different with my cat. Goldie says see you soon!”
“Jormary is wonderful! As a repeat client, I continue to trust her with Max and Ruby. She is reliable, communicative, and always provides excellent care during her drop-in visits. I’m grateful for attentiveness and kindness towards Max and Ruby, highly recommend her services. 🐾😊”
“Kellie was absolutely phenomenal. The moment Kellie came over to meet my pets, a good two weeks before my travel, I knew my fur babies would be in trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable hands. Kellie made sure she understood the needs of both my animals and understood what was needed to make sure they felt safe and loved in my absence. Kelli checked in with me multiples times a day, letting me know what was going on. She also went above and beyond what was required of her, from making sure my garbage cans were on the curb for pick-up day to watering my plants. If you are on the fence with using Rover to care for your pets while you are traveling or at work, I get it. I was too, but rest assured that will Kellie your cherished fur babies are safe and taken care of, and your home is not at risk.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of my dogs. Throughout college I had many roommates with cats and grew a love for them as well. Growing up I used to make treats for animal shelters and had a dream of being a vet. Since I’ve realized how much of a dedication vet school is, this seems like a fun way to incorporate my love for animals into something part time. :) I love cardio and am always down for a morning, afternoon, and even night runs. I love to go to scenic spots and enjoy being outside. I am in between jobs right now, so I have open availability for any pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and one 14 year old West Highland Terrier. She is extremely spoiled, but loves new friends. We love to play fetch and play in the yard. The extra baths are worth our fun times outside together lol.
“Josh has made going out of town easier and less stressful with his reliable care for our 4 furbabies (2 dogs and 2 cats). Thankful we have a go-to person who can handle their varying personalities and routines. We enjoy reading the Rover cards and we know our pets enjoy their visits with Josh, too!”
“Very great caregiver! Andrea was very responsive and she took great care of my dogs. She took awesome photos and kept me up to date every step of the way. Ill definitely be rehiring her again!”
“Beth is excellent with the dogs and easy to communicate with. We've trusted Beth with watching our dogs on a routine basis, and we are excited to continue working with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have enjoyed my life around numerous animals of all backgrounds. Growing up in the north granted me the privilege of owning huskies and training them for years! Stubbornness is no problem with me. I have experience with working through territorial aggression and severe medical needs. I have been through obedience training with all of my dogs. I love being around cats as well and have owned cats my entire life! I am available any day, anytime! No morning is too early for a check in or walk and no night is too late. Your pet’s schedule is my schedule! I respect security and privacy! The care of another persons home is sacred and I would only want someone else respecting my space as well. Let me know if you have any concerns about the environment your pet will be in!
“I appreciate the help I have received since July 2025 with the drop ins for my fur babies to go potty. With out Tinisha's acceptance I would not have been able to start my new job. Lots of hugs and thank you!”
About: Ive always had a passion for taking care of animals. I use to go around asking to play or to walk my neighbors dogs. Im super good with senior dogs. I have a 13 year old Boston terrier and a 7 year old long haired Chihuahua. i would love to work on this app full time and spend my days with all the animals on here.

I show that im gentle and very loving with animals by making sure they have plenty of water, food, toys, walks, etc… i can show i care in many ways.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through being a pet parent myself. I currently have two dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, routines, and energy levels. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has been a huge part of my everyday life for years. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and other care with plenty of flexibility, including weekdays and weekends! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets! I’ll always follow their normal routine as closely as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime, medications, and all the little things that make them feel at home. I’m very attentive to safety, will keep you updated, and will treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Lillian (Ruthie) took great care of our pup. She kept us updated with how our pup was doing and sent lots of pictures. We were really happy with how she took care of our dog and followed our instructions. We will definitely work with her again. Thank you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,829 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waterloo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
