“Jordan was amazing. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos. Which made me not feel so bad on not being able to take Oreo on my trip. Oreo had so much fun. After picking him up he was looking for her. I will totally take Oreo back with her in the future.”
“Amanda always does a great job with my 16 year old Westie Terrier. She treats her so well and I know Sparkle has a great time with her. Amanda does so much to make sure Sparkle is comfortable and happy. I am always anxious when I have to leave my 16 year old dog but Amanda makes it a little easier by sending me daily pictures and updates so that I know Sparkle is doing well. Amanda is the best and I will always choose her to watch my Sparkle. Thank you, Amanda, for everything you do!”
“She is very nice and her dog Snowy was a great company to my puppy like a grandpa watching grandson. Overall I appreciate her care and would highly recommend.”
“Heather and her family are genuinely some of the sweetest people we’ve ever met! Our dogs were so loved the whole time they stayed with them- we are so confident they had the best time and were well taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend people work with Heather.”
“I left my 5 year old pup with Chad for around 40 days, Chad took really good care of my pup and he sent updates everyday. He also showered my pup and trimmed his paws. Whisky was clean and tidy on the day on pickup. I would definitely drop my pup again in future without any hesitation.”
“Five stars for Michelle! She took incredible care of Bella while we were away. I loved receiving the daily photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. When we picked Bella up, it was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well adjusted. Michelle is fantastic, and we will definitely rebook with her every chance we get!”
“Jerica was absolutely phenomenal with all 3 of my fur-babies. My dog stayed with her while we were gone for over a week and she popped in to check on my cats every day. There is no doubt in my mind that she's the one we'll trust with our pets. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog has separation issues & is often a little picky about his friends, but he settled down with Rodnie & her pups nicely for the weekend. Rodnie allowed him to feel at home...... sleeping on her sofa!! She sent us an update so we were ensured all was well. We have already booked him again with Rodnie for his next stay!”
“Elisa was the very best sitter I have used. She was so professional and personal in her services. My Auggie was treated to a wonderful home away from home during his stay. She would send pictures and call me with any information she thought I needed about Auggie.”
“Andrew did great with our dog! We felt like we could trust him with our dog, and he sent regular updates and took him on plenty of walks. We’d definitely use him again. Thank you!”
“One thousand percent would recommend!! They clearly spent time and care ensuring our dogs were 100% comfortable and cared for, and they gave us consistent updates on how they were doing the entire week we were gone. Absolutely will rebook in the future!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing with Samson while I was out of town! She sent me so many thoughtful updates and pictures, which really gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond, even being flexible with me when my flight was delayed and I had to do a later pickup. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 TX 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.
