About: Hello! My name is Jordan and I've been passionate towards all animals my entire life and have experience with a variety of different species. I've worked as an animal care intern at a wildlife rehab and as a kennel technician where my primary duties were to work closely with veterinary staff to provide care for animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience plus a life long history with animals has allowed me to recognize each pet's individual personalities so that I may tailor my care to fit their exact needs. My goal is to treat your pets with respect and warmth in order to ensure their happiness while you’re away. I'm sensitive, flexible and empathetic to the individual needs of your pet so that their time apart from you is happy and stress free. I'm communicative and open so that you can rest assured knowing how much fun your pet is having under my care. As a pet parent of many different species myself, I understand the dedication and love you have for your pets and I understand the desire for an accountable, kind caregiver. I am also able to accommodate any special requests, such as if you would prefer your dog be crated during certain times, if your pet needs medications administered during the day and much more. Additionally, I have experience with invertebrates, reptiles, birds, small mammals, dogs and cats. I live on 20 acres of mowed and maintained land with a secure fence that will give your babies plenty of space to run around and explore. In addition, I provide a cozy, peaceful home environment where your pet is welcome to explore, settle in, and relax at their own pace. With plenty of comfortable spaces to lounge, play, and feel secure, I strive to create an stress-free atmosphere that helps every pet feel right at home during their stay. If I’m going to your home, I will be respectful and courteous to any rules and maintain the standard of care you treat your animals with. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to care for pets in a way that truly fits their individual needs. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can adjust feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments based on each pet’s personality, age, and energy level. This flexibility means my care isn’t one-size-fits-all. If your pet needs more frequent bathroom breaks, extra exercise, or just a little reassurance and companionship, I’m able to respond right away instead of sticking to a strict timetable and I can easily monitor changes in behavior or health. My daily routine may be full, but it’s adaptable—and that makes all the difference in giving pets the individualized attention they deserve. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, supervised environment where they can relax and follow a consistent routine. When caring for your pets at your home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so they feel comfortable and secure. My hands-on experience working with many types of animals—different species, breeds, ages and temperaments—gives me the confidence to handle everything. Whether you need me to care for your scaly, feathered, or furry friends, my goal is always the same: to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away.

About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals, my own and others, since I was very young. I am comfortable around all dogs- I’m happy to take care of puppies, as well as older pups, who need their own TLC. If you entrust me with the privilege of looking after your fur baby, I will love them as if they are my own! I am happy to make drop ins/potty breaks/walks with your pup as needed. I am mostly available weekdays from 7-5pm but if needed, we can work together to find a schedule that works for your fur baby, as I can be flexible. I can work according to your needs. When caring for an animal in your home or mine, I will always be extra careful with opening and closing doors, to make sure no dog becomes an escape artist! I can feed, bathe, give medication, etc, as needed. Any special instructions, I am more than happy to adapt and learn how best to take care of your animal. When I come to care for your animal, I devote my time to loving them.
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.
“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!”

“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!”

About: Hiya! I’m Aundie, a fellow pet-parent with two doggos (a Corgi and an Australian Cattle Dog mix). I have been around dogs my whole life and enjoy a pups companion. I am available Thursday afternoon - Sunday for boarding drop-off and offer boarding for the rest of the days not listed. There may be times where I’ll need to step out for a few hours during the day to run errands, but majority of the day will be spent with the pups. I have a fenced backyard for your pup to freely run around in. Inside the house there are different types of doggy beds and two sized crates for when they want to snooze.
About: I've taken care of family pets on and off since I was a teenager and currently have a mixed-breed dog named Dolly (who is 2 years old)! As a dog parent myself (especially to a high-energy one), I understand every dog has their own rhythm, preferences, and quirks. Punctuality, clear communication, and always returning your pet happy and exercised, are the main priorities (that's what I would want for Dolly!). With my current work schedule, I'm available for morning (6AM-11AM) and late afternoon/evening walks on Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I would usually need at least 2 days notice to schedule. When walking your dog or entering your home, I’ll treat your space with care and respect. Always make sure the leash, harness, or any gates/doors are secured before and after walks! For the first few walks, I’ll take time to build trust and stick to familiar routes to keep a good comfort level. This also includes sharing quick notes and photos during all of our walks. My overall goal is simple: make sure your dog feels safe and is happy from start to finish!
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!

About: I have been responsible for caring for pets from a young age through my own animals, which helped me develop a strong love and understanding for pets of all kinds. For the past three years, I have also provided pet care services for many wonderful families in my community. I am experienced with daily care routines such as feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of attention. I am also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once! I’ll always strive to make your pets feel safe and loved while you are away. I am currently home from school for the summer, so I have open availability throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending time with animals and I have plenty of time to stay or stop by for visits, walks, feeding, or whatever else your fur babies may need while you’re away! While caring for pets in their home, I try to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable awhile their owners are away. I can follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific care needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention as they like. In addition to caring for your pets, I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I will keep it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I want to ensure your peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
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’ve been a big dog lover since I was practically born! I love all kinds of the dogs, the big, the small, the crazy, and the shy ones! I’m good with medicine and scheduled feeding sessions! I’ve taken care of dogs that have medical issues, such as seizures or joint issues. I can handle the hyper puppies and cuddle the lazy senior dogs❤️ I’m ready to treat your dog with love and patience! Hi! My name is Faith and i’m 20 years old. I work part time right now so i’m free to care for any animal during the day and night! I work at a horse ranch between 3-6 pm during the weekday, so I can be with your dog all day! I do have dogs of my own but they will always stay home! When house sitting or drop in visits, I will make sure everything is safe during visits or outside time! I’m good with crating dogs or doing whatever they need to feel safe around me
About: From 3 huge adult pit bulls, to moody dachshund, to super energetic Shiba Inu puppy, to 5lb Toy Poodle (a ball of fur). We are loving, caring and experienced pet sitters! We both love outdoor activities, running, hiking, paddle boarding and kayaking. So if your pet need over 1 hour physical activity a day that’s great! We can run/walk together around the lake! We have a fenced yard and are walking distance to park and dog parks. Currently we don’t have our own pets(although we are looking forward to have our own pug). So your little guy can enjoy all the attention and love. Plus, we provide service in English and Chinese. You find us, your pet is in good hands! Looking forward to hearing from you!

About: I have internshiped in a vet clinic. I have worked in a dog boarding/dog sitter and my family comes to me when wanting to take care of their dogs. Im currently work part time and have plenty of time working with your pups! And have more availability night times on weekends and day time weekday! I do have two dogs or are not friendly meaning I can only work with your pets at your house! I will make sure they are fed and in a safe area inside and outside!
About: I have always had a special connection with animals since I was little, especially dogs. My first two dogs were Giant Schnauzers. I took them on daily walks and to the dog park on the weekends. I have looked after dogs from the size of chihuahua all the way up to a St. Bernard, with age ranges between puppy to a senior. No dog is too big or too small, or even too young or old for me to provide care for. I will adjust to the dogs specific needs as not all dogs are the same and may require different aspects of training, walking, or socializing. My availability will vary each day, but I will be willing to accommodate if you are needing consistent care for your companion.

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was a child and had a dog walking business with my sister. I would also volunteer regularly at a second chance animal schelter. I've always grown up with dogs and the occasional cat in my home. I currently am a dog mom to 2 little shih tzus who are my whole world! I am currently unemployed so I am available to take care of your pet when needed. I have a flexible schedule and can come take care of your pet multiple times a day. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. In a client's home, I maintain their pet's normal routine to help them feel secure and safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,344 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Waterloo.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
