“Kaycee and Robert did a great job with our little puppy Milton. We loved that Milton could play with their kids, run around in the backyard with their dog, and feel at home. He’s a handful and came home happy!”
“Margaret took excellent care of our new rescue for a 2 day boarding. She was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly, sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and clearly goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is well cared for. We will 100% be booking with her in the future for any dog sitting needs!”
“Our 2 pups had a wonderful stay with Kara. They had tons of playtime and snuggle time plus comforting during fireworks noise. They’ll definitely be staying with Kara again.”
“I am extremely pleased with how well Riley's first time there went! I received prompt updates, photos, and feel she took great care of Riley during my absence. Will definitely book again!”
“I would recommend Ndaziona to anyone who wants a great dog setter. Nikita was given best care anyone could ask for. During the time that she was with this family we continually got updates and pictures setting our mind at ease, knowing she was getting the best care we could have asked for. Again I would highly recommend this setter.”
“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Katie and Samuel were great to Jarvis and sent us several updates throughout his stay. They also have a gated backyard to help with energetic dogs. I would highly reccomend!”
“Sofi took incredible care of our girl! She was always responsive and sent us frequent updates where I could see how happy Kiwi was. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and I would trust her with Kiwi anytime! Thank you again for giving so much love to Kiwi!!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah accommodated our last-minute request to watch our 3-month-old puppy for two days. Rip and Mayla were so friendly and playful when we stopped by for a meet and greet. And Sarah's obvious expertise and calm demeanor made it clear that this was a good fit for us. She was always quick with responses, sent daily updates with several pictures spanning the course of the day, and gave a very thorough rundown of how our puppy did his entire time there when we arrived to pick him up. It was clear that she had his best interests at heart. And any time we need a puppy sitter, she will be the first person we contact. 10/10 Highly recommend.”
“Tonisha was wonderful! Ollie was able to meet Tonisha and her dog before booking to determine compatibility. Tonisha sent frequent photos of Ollie to showcase that he was doing well in her care. Ollie and I would be fortunate to have Tonisha care for Ollie again.”
“Bentley had a great time with you both! Thanks for taking such good care of our baby! We REALLY appreciated the pictures you sent while he was with you, too! We will absolutely book with you again.”
“Tanya was amazing. We had tried to find a pet sitter for our very anxious/sometimes aggressive dog Millie for a long time, and finally met Tanya. She clearly is very passionate about helping animals feel safe and cared for, and was so compassionate about our poor dog's fears and problems. We did a trial sleepover before our 10-day trip and it went great. When we were on our trip, Tanya sent us frequent updates and videos, showing how well Millie was doing. She replied quickly to our texts and was very reassuring. When we picked Millie up, she appeared well cared-for and fine (or as fine as our dog gets!) We HIGHLY recommend Tanya!”
“Shawn was great! Sent picture updates and Caspian looked so happy and relaxed! He was super flexible and even worked with me as I needed to have a friend pick Cas for scheduling reasons. Thank you Shawn!”
“Jenny and her family did an excellent job watching Teddy and giving him the best experience during the holidays. It was even his birthday and they went above and beyond to throw a birthday party for him! We are so appreciative of how well Teddy was treated and all the photo updates were reassuring. Teddy is looking forward to his next stay! Highly recommend! 🤍”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job of taking care of Coco. During my trip, I had travel delays and Lindsey was more than accommodating to help with last minute changes. She gave me frequent updates on Coco and I felt very at ease knowing that my fur baby was in very good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Russia had a great time with Kayla. She went to the dog park and even got to go in the kitty pool. Russia came back exhausted which is a great sign that she had a fun filled stay. Kayla was very responsive to my messages and was very easy to work with.”

There are 555 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Waterloo. About 94% of Waterloo sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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 WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
