About: I've been in love with animals since I was young, and I have worked with dogs with special needs such as previously abused dogs and reactive dogs. I'm still in school and work a part time job, so breaks during the day are a bit harder for me some days, but on others I'm mostly free! I will happily follow any routine you have set in place so long as I am shown prior to petsitting! When watching pets in home I try to be gone for as little time as possible so that they have company and don't get too lonely while you're gone!

About: I have been exposed to animals for the entirety of my life, my family has always fostered cats and has had dogs in the house. I have handled dogs of all sizes and all energy levels, from puppy to seniors and herding dogs to couch-potatos. I’m currently available for part-time drop ins, or overnight weekend stays. I am a college student so I have availability sporadically throughout the day, early morning, or late night. I am open to any setup to care for pets, and will diligently follow any instructions given for the specific animal. I am a college student so I am only available to go to clients homes rather than bring animals to me.

About: I am going to school to school currently to become a veterinarian and I hopefully will get a job as a vet tech very soon! I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own and I take care of them everyday while the rest of my family is at work. I love to take my dogs on walks for about 30 minutes at least twice a day. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs are very friendly and playful and love new friends! We have multiple crates if that is something necessary for your pet. My whole family has huge hearts when it comes to animals so your pet will be well taken care of!

About: I am a single middle age compassionate, loving female who will absolutely show your dog or cat the most love and affection he or she has ever known! I do not have children and I believe our pets are a reflection of our own soul and speak to us through the way they interact with us. If we have had a bad day, they know. If we have had a good day, they know that too! This is my only job so my schedule is pretty open to meeting the needs of you and your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pooch or kitty for lots of love! I am a retired veteran so caring for your fur baby is my #1 priority. Check my schedule on the Rover app. Let me be your preferred sitter! I can accommodate your pet by house sitting in your home. I feel that pets thrive in their own environment and their own routines with the least amount of stress possible.

About: I have experience with all animals from birds to cattle. I spent a few years in animal rehabilitation as well as cared for special needs animals. I grew up on my family farm caring for a variety of animals. I love them all with my whole heart. Day to day I am in school for Radiology and I’m looking for work that has more flexible hours and days to work with my schedule. I will do whatever your pet needs in your own home to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I will crate if you want but I will also snuggle them. I will play fetch and go on walks. I will even take them to the vet if you can’t because of work.

About: Unclassified "animal whisper" I live for animals and children! They speak a different, much more pure language! They know real love and loyalty and are worth every second you can provide! Many years of experience, and looking forward to many more! Drop ins and walks are my favorite 😊 All animals of all shapes and sizes make me my best self! And I will die in the line of doggy duty!! You won't regret letting me spend time with your fur baby 😻 I work from home currently so I am always home through the week or at least close by so I can accommodate most needs. :) We have no fence unfortunately but we have plenty of leashes! As far as for someone elses home we take the direction of the owners note and recognize it is the pets home and routine so all of that is respected!

About: I have taken care of different types of dogs for over 5 years. I usually dog sit for family and friends, but am a dog lover and wanted to branch out on Rover:) I’m currently working part time at a daycare so I will be able to have time to play with your pups, take them on long walks, and give them that enrichment they need! I go to the clients home and do as I am told! I believe that safety and trust are the top priorities for the dog and myself.

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs since I was five and truly consider them family. From delivering litters of puppies to training a pack of eight I have the experience and patience to handle almost any situation.

I specialize in senior care, special needs, administering medication and manners training. I take my 5-star reputation seriously and treat every fur baby like my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! **I exclusively welcome crate-trained dogs. ** For an additional fees: I offer mail and/or package collection; bathing to give you peace of mind upon return; and I will take your dog for veterinary services in case you’d like to schedule that while you are away. **First time Rover customers receive $40 off with this code: LORIF43758, https://www.rover.com/sit/lorif43758 *** Please provide veterinary information in case of an emergency!*** I do not work therefore, I am home to take care of your animals either in my home. I will love them as if they were my own. I do watch more than one dog at a time. I am known as Aunt Lori! I walk my dogs every 1-2 hours. I live in a community that has a dog park at the end of my street and plenty of stations for waste pick up which I am a big stickler about. I do require you bring a crate for night time and on case I need to run an errand.

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9. My family has 2 senior yorkies, a pit bull, and a pit-mix. I also have had an Aussie-border collie since he was 2 weeks old, and he has been my saving grace through college. I have a beautiful cat as well, and he has been my baby since 2021, when he was 6 months old. I would love to be of service for your fur babies! I’m currently a graduate student and looking to work as much as possible between classes and during the summer. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule, and I’d love to give your fur babies the attention and care they deserve! When I care for pets in your home, I treat them as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I’ll stick to their routine as much as possible, whether it's feeding, walks, or playtime, so they feel secure. I’m also attentive to any special needs they may have, from medications to behavioral preferences. Your home will be in good hands. I'll clean up after the pets, ensure they have plenty of exercise, and provide lots of love and attention. You can rest easy knowing your pets are in a familiar environment, well taken care of, and loved!

About: I've always had animals in the house ever since I can remember. With my dogs, I love to give them a happy life by playing and cuddling with them. I love dogs and feel grateful to be a part of their life even if for a short time. I am a student at ETSU! I have classes everyday, but Mondays and Wednesdays are the only days I’ll be on campus for more than an hour. I love all animals! When I take care of other people's pets, I try to connect with them and establish some kind of trust. I also try to play with the animals as much as possible to get all of their energy out. I love cuddling and loving on animals as long as they feel the same way! I also love to take pictures of animals (cute or funny) and would be happy to send you the most adorable pictures to make it through your time without them!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 361 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Watauga. 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 Watauga. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Watauga after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watauga. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
