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 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 love working with all cats and dogs. Some love to play, others love to cuddle, a lot love both! If the pet is happy then everyone's happy! I am available mainly weekends. I am a teacher so a perfect scenario for your weekend getaway! After May 24th, I'll be available all days of the week. I make sure the pet is happy! If they have everything they need and stay on their regular schedule, we can have a lot of fun! I enjoy taking dogs to the park, going on walks, and helping training for new tricks.
“My dog absolutely LOVED Kimmie from the very first meeting. And my pup can be somewhat reserved around new people so that told me all I needed to know about Kimmie’s ability to connect to pets. Kimmie is very professional, reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her.”
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 am a very attentive person who will make sure to read any notes daily that you leave. I am great a training dogs and I will follow the training procedures for your loved one. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me the ability to do routine walks. I would love to be the go to sitter for your dog! I live with one other adult (male) and a 1 year old miniature Border Collie. The Border Collie is well trained and plays well with other dogs.
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 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
“Amiah came through LAST MINUTE and exceeded all the expectations I had. She took great care of my dog and was extremely easy to get ahold of and has great communication skills. I am grateful we connected and am looking forward to working with her more in the future.”
“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: I’ve had experience caring for dogs for most of my life, and I truly believe they are part of the family. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and individual needs. I offer dog boarding, daycare, and walking services. Depending on your pet’s needs, their stay can include walks, playtime, outdoor time in my fenced yard, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, and daily routines so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I work Monday through Thursday and am primarily available Friday through Sunday for pet care. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to pets during the weekends, including morning and evening walks, playtime, and companionship throughout their stay. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and at home. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve!

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: Raised around animals of all shapes and sizes from a young age, caring for pets is second nature to me. I’ve owned and loved both cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments my entire life—from energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet, gentle seniors. This lifelong experience means I understand their unique body language, daily routines, and individual needs, ensuring your pets feel completely safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Working a hybrid schedule, I am only in the office for a couple of hours four days a week. During these short trips away, your pet remains safe and secure inside my home—either comfortably resting in a crate or roaming freely, depending on your preferences and training needs. The rest of my time is fully spent working from home, allowing me to stick to consistent feeding, play, and potty routines while giving your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, pet care is centered on keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and happy. I have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides a secure space for outdoor play, alongside access to tons of great local walking trails for daily exercise. At home, I have the sweetest 4-year-old pup who is always excited to make new friends and keep your pup entertained throughout their stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,334 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.
