About: My love for caring for dogs began at a young age while helping care for friends dogs, and has grown into meaningful hands on experience at Dogtopia, a doggy daycare, where I work in both reception and canine coaching. As a canine coach, I provide attentive care, clean up after dogs, monitor their behavior, assist with training, and help create a safe, positive environment where every pup feels comfortable and loved. I have also completed canine coaching health classes to strengthen my knowledge of canine wellness and safety. I’m passionate about continuing to grow my skills and plan to return to school to pursue a career as a vet tech. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I strive to care for every pup with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. House sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule and allows me to provide dependable, attentive care while maintaining my full-time career. I take pride in being organized, responsible, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine and each client’s home. I’m able to plan my daily schedule around the needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide exceptional service and peace of mind, giving pet parents confidence that their pets and home are being well cared for while they’re away. As a Frenchie mom, I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, structure, attention, and plenty of love. When caring for a client’s pets, I make it a priority to follow their established routines, feeding instructions, exercise needs, house rules, and any specific care instructions provided. I understand that every pet and home is different, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, companionship, and consistency while treating every home with the same respect I would expect for my own. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away.
“Kimmie was amazing from the beginning, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and helped me out when my usual dog walker was out of town. Will rebook when I need a walker again! Thanks Kimmie!”
About: I’m new to the rover app but, I’m not new to taking care of fur babies! While growing up we always had pets. When I left for college I got a puppy because of how much I missed my pups at home. I potty trained him all on my own while also juggling being a student athlete. I want to help out the best I can, so put me to work:) I am a part time hitting coach in the evenings so, I will have plenty of time to help you with your fur babies. I am off every weekend. I can take your pets on walks or play fetch to get them moving. I also can sit and just love on your pups whenever you are at work or away for a bit.
About: I've had animals since I was a girl and haven't been without a pet since I was 10 years of age. Have had multiple dogs and cats at one time but now down to one 13-yr old male. Will always love and have pets as they are an integral part of my life. I derive much joy from their presence. Daily walks and attention to my own dog and look in on friend's dogs when they're away. My dog has his own bed for daytime but sleeps in my bed at night. I have a good sense about animals and will follow the routine they're used to. I love to connect with any animal if they want it and will give cuddles and rubs for comfort and love ❤️
About: I have worked with small dogs and big dogs and nervous dogs- I have owned my own doggo (a shih tzu bichon mix for 10 years) since I rescued her from a poodle shelter. I have worked as an assistant training emotional support animals at a rehabilitation facility (: I would love to hang out with your doggo babies when you need me! I am an early riser and work part-time in pet care. It is my primary job- I have regular clients that are my own aside of rover so my calendar on app may be inaccurate. In the clients home- your pet(s) are my first priority and my second priority is your home. Boarding at my home- your pet is still my first priority! We have 1 budgie, 2 cockatiels, 3 dogs, and 2 kittens!
“Brooke is amazing! She is so good with my pups. They are young and maybe a little wild, but Brooke is so patient with them. I have absolutely no worries when they are with her. I think they may enjoy walking with her even more than me! :) Brooke has been flexible and is very dependable. So glad we found her!”
“Michaela was absolutely wonderful! She was able to come last minute and took such great care of my dog. She is incredibly sweet, kind, caring, and dependable, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I’m so grateful she was able to help on such short notice. I highly recommend Michaela and would definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I grew up in an animal shelter. Sounds crazy right? Well, it's true. My mom has always worked around animals(and still does) so I was always right by her side. Whether it be at animal shelters, helping with adoptions, walking, feeding, giving medications. Anything to be involved ! Then she became a Veterinarian. So of course, when I got old enough, I worked at her clinic. I've truely worked with animals my whole life and have always had animals of my own. I am currently working as an Animal Rescue Coordinator each day but would love to further my pet care business . My fur babies are my children and I treat them as so. You will always be able to find comfort knowing that I will treat your fur babies with the same love and care as my own! My favorite thing to do is spend time with my 3 dogs. A few things we love doing are going to the dog park, playing fetch, frisbee, going to the lake to swim, agility, hiking, and of course getting frozen yogurt! I would be more than happy to spend time with your pup doing these things. I'm sure they deserve it! I can't wait to spoil your pup and put your mind at ease knowing he/she is loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Your fur babies deserve the best! I currently work part time in VetMed so my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a small hobby farm of my own with several different types of pets that I love caring for. However, I love working with other pets and providing an established routine and relationship, as well. I will be available most weekdays and some weekends. I care for pets in my home/client’s home as if they were my own. They are allowed on furniture/beds if the owner is okay with this. I have doggy gates for separation of other animals if needed. Pets are never left unattended in my home. If I must leave for any reason, your pet must be kenneled in my home. In your home, I will adhere to your routine and guidelines of course.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,348 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Waterloo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Waterloo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Waterloo after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waterloo. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
