“Kathryn did such an amazing job with our little dog! She sent a lot of photos and took our pup for plenty of walks while we were out of the country! We will for sure be using her for future drop ins! So glad we found her!”
“So thankful Laura was able to walk and spend time with my dogs while I was out with some friends for a good part of the day. She communicated quickly and kindly, and she sent several pictures of my dogs while she was with them. I could tell the dogs had enjoyed themselves and used some energy with her as they were still calm and happy when I returned home. I’ll definitely reach out to Laura again, and my dogs will be excited for her return!”
“McKenzie did a great job with drop-in visits for my dogs! She was reliable, kept me updated, and made sure they were well taken care of while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”

About: I love animals. I have two cat, and had a dog in my 20s before she passed away. I love to walk, play and cuddle with all pets. I have pretty open availability. I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine, so I know how tricky it can be, but I will make sure they get it down. My aunt has a dog rescue, so if I ever have any questions I have a great person to turn too, as she is currently caring for over 50 dogs, and working on getting a no kill animal shelter built. I am available all day Monday-Friday. If I have one days notice I can accommodate most requests! I also am available to be a weekly walker. I have two kitties, both around 2 years old. My previous cat was a senior cat, that requires a lot of love and attention.. he had several medicines he had to take that I gave him orally.
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!
“Amber is a kind & caring person.. and was great with our two cats. Our youngest is afraid of everything and usually won’t come out of hiding when someone is at the house. But Amber was able to get him to warm up and play with her. It was wonderful knowing they were in good hands.”
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 have 20+ years of canine experience, providing expert care for dogs of all ages. I have experience working with both young puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their specific needs are met with care and attention. I am skilled in training and handling, and providing safe transportation. I have managed, owned and operated doggy daycares, ensuring daily play, socialization, and individualized attention. Every dog in my care receives loving, professional, and reliable care. As a dog mom myself, pet care is a natural part of my daily schedule. I pride myself on owning happy animals by providing constant care and attention. In my home all pets are treated like family. I believe in letting dogs be dogs. Stemming from that belief, I do not crate the animals in my care (unless strictly necessary or requested by the client). I live right next to a fenced dog park so all dogs in my care get ample opportunity to stretch their legs. I also provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks and structured meal times.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Watauga is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 401 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Watauga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters 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 sitter.
