Dog Boarding Waterloo

“Ellen did a great job taking care of my dog. Her house is the perfect doggy environment with a large fenced in yard. I will gladly continue to use her for boarding”

“David did an awesome job boarding a new-to-me dog for a day and a night. He definitely cares about the animals he’s taking care of and treats them like part of his family. My dog got plenty of socializing with people and other dogs, and David was good with sending lots of status updates. he’ll definitely be my first choice for future boarding.”

“Such a treat to have Duane & Lauren take care of my pup, Rapha while I was away. They are very responsive and attentive to the needs of both owner and doggie. Thank you!”

Russhell C.

“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”

About: Weekday Dropoff Timeframe: after 5:00 p.m. Weekday Pickup Timeframe: after 5:00 p.m. Weekend pickup/dropoff Timeframe: Pretty Flexible I would love to have a meet and greet with your dog(s) prior to booking! I offer personalized, in-home boarding for dogs who do best in a calm, low-stress environment. I have no resident pets and board only one household at a time, so your dog gets plenty of individual attention without having to share their space with unfamiliar dogs. I have more than 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs and have also fostered dogs for rescue. I especially love caring for small breeds, senior dogs, shy or sensitive dogs, and dogs who may feel overwhelmed in a traditional kennel or busy multi-dog boarding environment. My home has a securely fenced yard for potty breaks and outdoor time, and dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable here—including on the furniture and in bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, sleeping arrangements, and all those little things that help them feel secure. Your dog won’t be placed into a group of unfamiliar boarding dogs. This is a quiet home environment rather than a kennel or doggy daycare. Small, senior & sensitive dogs welcome I have a special place in my heart for little dogs and seniors, but I’m happy to consider dogs of all sizes who are a good fit for my home. Safety First Dogs don’t need to enjoy playing or socializing with other dogs. However, they do need to be safely manageable if we unexpectedly encounter another dog during walks, drop-offs, or normal daily activities. For safety and insurance reasons, I cannot accept dogs with a known history of aggression, biting, or attacks toward people or other animals. Let’s make sure we’re a good match I would love to do a meet-and-greet with your dog. It’s a chance for me to get to know your dog, learn about their personality and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your dog to feel like they’re staying at a friend’s house—not like they’re being sent to a boarding facility. ❤️ I currently work a full-time job Monday -Friday, 8:00 - 4:30. I’m a homebody type who would love just hanging out with your dog(s). I have a securely fenced yard and plenty of room in my house for your dog to be comfortable. Pets are family to me, so there’s no area of my house that’s off limits, including my furniture and bed.

“Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.”

“Val provided excellent care for my lab 9 month old puppy. He communicated well and kept me updated with pictures. Penny seemed very happy and comfortable with Val. I definitely would recommend Val for your dog boarding needs. He is great!”

Jean K.

“First time boarding our girls…I was a little nervous but Ruby eased my mind by sending pictures, videos, and messages. I will not hesitate boarding them with Ruby again this summer!!”

Christine H.

“Edith did a wonderful job taking care of our four-legged family member. She was caring, responsible, and an excellent communicator. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pup was in such good hands.”

Angela N.

“Our dog simba had a great stay with Amanda and her family. We loved getting updates and pictures of how he’s doing. Definitely will be using her again next time we’re away. Thank you!”

Marta M.

“We were swayed to contact Erika for our dog caregiver by her glowing reviews on Rover. Throughout our communications with Erika through Rover prior to our vacation, and upon meeting her when we dropped our dogs off with her, she was warm, kind, and a very professional young lady. We were impressed by her and the wonderful habitat that our pups would call home for the next two weeks. Our dogs need exercise, and she excelled in that. One of our dogs even lost weight. We will return to Erika for future needs, and rest easy that our dogs are in the best hands!”

Patricia C.

“Jessica is the best sitter I have ever had on Rover!!! She took great care of my Mickey and provided lots of updates throughout each day. Will definitely book with her again, my dog had a great time with her and her dogs!!”

Allison M.

“Our dog stayed with Kaycee and her family for 10 days, and we had a wonderful experience. She sent me photos every day, and they took him for walks even though they have a fenced backyard. The kids in the family gave Swift lots of attention, and he played with their family dog. Very sweet family — I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”

Anna M.

“Ronalisa did wonderfully! Floyd is high energy and can be pushy- so at first I was worried as we had never boarded through Rover before. But it was quickly apparent than Rona was confident and capable even with young and crazy dogs like Floyd. She always got back to me quickly and sent the cutest videos of them playing fetch, swimming, and hiking around. Her dogs are also great too! They helped Floyd play appropriately but still have fun. I would love to board with Rona again”

Katy B.

“We had a great experience with Erik. We felt very comfortable leaving our first time foster dog with Erik's family. They met with us before to see if it was a good fit. He was very gracious in dealing with our situation. We would recommend Erik and would book with him again.”

Julie t.

“Brandon and Katy are lovely! They were very helpful moving my dog's crate and getting him settled. Sammy had a great time playing and cuddling.”

Kara B.

“My puppy loves going to Erin’s house! Her home is so comfortable and cozy. Erin is also very accommodating and is a fast responder to messages and bookings.”

Andrea V.

“Stephanie was great! She was easy to work with, took fantastic care of our pup. Our girl wasn't sure she wanted to leave. She sent lots of pictures and provided a fun and active environment. Would highly recommend!”

Holli H.

“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”

Cindy P.

“Chelssey was awesome! Great communication prior and during Sunny’s stay which I loved! She also sent pictures which was fun. We will book again with Chelssey.”
