“Taylor was great with our cats while we were away! She sent updates and photos and went out of her way when one wasn't seen for a couple of days. She asked neighbors if they had seen her and left food and water out in case she returned when she wasn't there. She also played with them and cleaned up their food and litter areas efficiently. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!”
“Alyssa did an excellent job checking in on our cat Stella while we were away. Stella is usually very shy around strangers, but we could tell that she had taken to Alyssa because she was happy and well-groomed. Alyssa made sure she had food and water and a clean litter box each day, and she took time to pet and play with Stella. We won’t hesitate to book Alyssa next time we are out of town, and we’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“One of the most kind, compassionate, reliable cat sitters in the area. You definitely will appreciate her attention to detail, communication, and professionalism. She genuinely cares for cats as if they are her own. We will absolutely contact her again when needed.”
About: As a military spouse I have helped care for our dogs and many of our neighbors dogs as well. From large to small, I love dogs of all kinds. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and our own dog loves the company of other dogs. I am a mom and am in nursing school, but pet care is the highlight of my day. My schedule is open during weekends during the school semester, and outside of that I'm fulltime at home. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat friendly home. I also have children at home, but they are 10 and up. I prefer dogs crated at night, but during the day they are allowed to roam inside or out in the fenced backyard and will be well taken care of with lots of friendly petting in my home.
About: I have a love for all pets. I love caring for animals. I would love to share my love with your puppies or cats. Have had pets in my life for 50 years. I have availability must anytime. I have 4 yorkies an 1 goldendoodle of my own. I also help with several dogs an cats other than my own. I have a large fenced in yard. My dogs all play together but can also let play alone. In summer i keep puppy pools out also.
About: I've helped take care of neighbors and friends dogs many times since I was a kid up into college. I have always had a dog of my own and understand the importance of being able to get some help to watch them when needed! I am currently in Grad school and do have a hectic schedule. But I have mostly every Friday free and time in the afternoons on Saturdays and mornings on Sundays for drop ins! I am in an apartment but have a fenced in area behind it that I let my dog run in! My dog is typically free range at all times in my apartment but can be crated when needed. He is very friendly with other dogs. Typically I just ask what the normal routine is for the dog I am watching because I know everyone does their own thing a little different!
About: I'm currently a stay at home mom of an 8 year old girl. We have a dog of our own right now that is a Corgi/shepard mix named Harley. I've always had dogs and cats my entire life and love taking care of animals and going on walks with them. I am originally from NJ and just moved to Tn in April. I worked at an animal shelter in NJ where I took care of the dogs and some newborn kittens. I've don't have much experience with dogs with disabilities but that won't stop me from wanting to work with them. My dog Harley is a very friendly dog and loves to play so if your dog is friendly she'd love to meet them too!

About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals my whole life. I have been pet sitting for my friends and family for about 3 years now! I have dealt with animals of all ages, and have experience with animals that require medications be given to them. I also have experience with fish and guinea pigs. I love all animals and do everything in my power to take the best care of them possible! I currently have open availability, so I will have more than enough of time to play and care for your animals! I can check in on them multiple times a day!! I will let your dogs outside to use the bathroom, clean your cat’s litter box, play and cuddle with them, and make sure their food and water bowels stay clean.
“Hailey was able to come with little notice and was so good with my very large breed pup! Communication was perfect and she sent photos. Will absolutely book again with her!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my fur babies. I know they are well taken care of while I am away. We looked forward to the daily pictures, they made our day! Until next time…. 💕”
“She was INCREDIBLE!!! So many pictures, very communicative, helped me when I was in need of a last minute drop in. My dog looked like she had a great time. I will definitely use her again.”
“Amber has done a great job caring for Buddy, and he really likes her! He's a funny dog that won't hurt a flea, even though he looks mean from a distance. If you feed and pet him, he's your friend forever. I highly recommend Amber, and I'll be hiring her for all the time that I'm away from home.”
“Jenna was terrific and we will definitely book her for any future trips! Both of our dogs got along great with her right away! During the morning and evening Drop-In visits, one of our dogs needed medication and special food. Jenna was more than accommodating with giving the medication/food and provided updates on how the dogs were doing and pics of each visit. We really appreciated Jenna's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule too. Jenna also left our house in great condition! Jenna - thank you for taking such great care of Coco and Bella so we didn't have to worry about them while we were out of town!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.
About: Hi! I’m Dodger, and I’m an artist and student who would love to help take care of your furry friends! I’ve had dogs and cats (and a number of other pets) since I was born. My first babysitter was a lab/chow mix. I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, and a teenage human at home. I’ve been pet sitting professionally on and off since I was about 15, and just moved to Johnson City to go back to school. I am looking to build up a network of pet owners here! I’m an actor, musician, and visual artist. I love all types of animals, but I’m a sucker for giant dogs that could definitely take me down if they get too excited. I’d love to meet you and your pets, and am fully vaccinated! Can’t wait to hear from you! I am a full-time non-traditional student, but I’m rarely unavailable for longer than 6 hours at a time. I always prioritize the pets in my care, and never take a booking that conflicts with my schedule in such a way that your pets would be negatively affected. My clients (human and otherwise) are always my top concern. I know how stressful it can be for both you and your pet to trust someone new when you’re not around. This is one reason that I mostly care for pets in their own homes. I also make sure to send pictures every day, keep owners up-to-date on what their pets are up to, and try to make the pets feel extra special.
About: For the majority of 2020 I was working at an animal sanctuary with more than 60 dogs and 30 cats. My duties included feeding, cleaning, walking the animals. I also maintained their enclosures and of course played with them! I work part time at Hachimi, but would prefer taking care of some doggos. Tuesday and Thursday nights I have class , other than that I have a pretty open schedule. I live by the tweetsie and love to walk my dogs on it. Or they like going out of town for some hiking by the lake or in the mountains ⛰

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Watauga stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Watauga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Watauga with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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 sitter.
