About: I have had multiple dogs and cats my entire life. I can easily handle multiple dogs with different personalities. I am also experienced in finding creative ways to keep dogs happy and recognize signs of annoyance or that a dog wants to be alone. I love going for walks and taking dogs with me. I also encourage play and almost always have some toys or treats in my car. I do allow dogs on our furniture and love to cuddle. I have 2 dogs of my own who are friendly and love to play chase and wrestle. I have a large fenced in backyard and a doggy door so dogs have access inside and out all day weather permitting. I’m a stay at home mom so I spend most of the day at home. Dogs will have free range of inside and outside while I’m home. I do have multiple gates and doors in our home so dogs can have separate spaces when needed. I do kennel one of our dogs when we leave the house and would put any other dogs in a separate room just to ensure safety of all the animals. I have a large fenced in backyard and a doggy door. My dogs are allowed free access inside and out. They also are allowed on furniture. I do lock up my dogs when we leave the house. I have a permanent baby gate and sliding door so I can keep dogs in the living room if they need to be separated.
“Patricia was truly a blessing. ❤️ Leaving my girl behind is never easy for me because I worry about her when I’m away. Knowing Patricia was there made such a difference. She was incredibly attentive, gentle, caring, and thoughtful. The videos and updates she sent meant so much to me. Being able to see my girl, see that she was comfortable and happy, and watch Patricia giving her love and attention gave me such peace of mind while I was away. What touched me most was that Patricia didn’t just come in and take care of the basics. She genuinely cared about her. She paid attention to her little quirks, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her the companionship and affection she needed. I could tell from the videos that my girl was happy to see her, and that meant everything to me. Coming home knowing she had been safe, happy, loved, and so well cared for is priceless. Patricia went above and beyond, and I would trust her with my girl again without a second thought. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with genuine love and attention, I cannot recommend Patricia highly enough. She is wonderful, and I’m so grateful I found her. ❤️”
“Kimberly is always so great to work with. My family and I know that our pups well cared for when she’s coming to help care for them. My pups love her and so do we!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats. I take them on walks, play with them, feed them, and even sweep, mop and vacuum for pet hair. The most animals I’ve taken care of at a time was 4 cats and two large dogs, keeping all happy, cared for, loved and entertained. I currently have one college class on Tuesday and Thursday from 2-3:20 and I have a Bible study on Wednesday from 1-2. I will be free the rest of the time to love and cherish your fur babies. I love animals and will care for them with all the love I have. I will play with them, love them, keep them happy and cared for. They will always be petted and babied.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. Growing up, my family had three dogs and four cats, so I gained years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. From feeding, walking, and playing to giving lots of love and attention, caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and provide dependable, attentive care you can count on. I currently just moved back to Texas from Maine so I’m looking around for jobs. I truly love animals and I'm hoping to get into that industry already. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other special care your pet requires. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home clean and respectful, provide regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind, and treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Absolutely amazing! Kaylan is fantastic! She made our first ever vacation without the dogs stress-free and peaceful. So grateful! She went above and beyond and she even watered my flowers! Thank you Kaylan!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover and owner of my entire life growing up with two dogs in my childhood and raising two dogs as an adult. My current Companion is an 11-year-old boxer and I also previously owned another beloved boxer so high energy breeds and sweet, senior pups hold a special place in my heart. I am a part-time worker and have availability after 12:30 on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I do have availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it’s a bit more limited. And I do have availability on the weekends. At home, I treat my two dogs like my family. They eat well and get lots of love and play time! I will give your dog the same love and affection as if they are my own!
“Brenda was absolutely amazing!! We came home to happy calm dogs, even our shy old lady of a cat came out to greet her every night! We enjoyed seeing pictures of them while we were gone and seeing how happy they were. I highly recommend Brenda if you are looking for someone you can trust!”
“This was the longest trip we have made since Michaela has been taking care of our cats. We felt comfortable leaving them because we knew that they would be in good hands. She does and great job and Flash and Wanda seem to like her.”
About: My wife and I are huge pet lovers. She's been doing pet foster care since she was young and I've had the privelage of owning a few animals myself. I absolutely love being around animals of all kinds and loving on them as I would my own. We also have experience with medication administration. We're flexible and adaptable and here for your fur babies! If your fur babies like to be around other animals we have a very loving dog who loves all animals and loves to play. I look forward to speaking with you and getting to know your pets! Ally is a stay at home mom, though she does have a job that takes her away periodically she's at home the majority of the time so there is almost always someone available to give the animals the love and attention they deserve. We have a fenced yard with some space to run and stretch or get some fresh air. Sometimes we take multiple dogs at a time but not normally. If separation is required a crate is preferred but we do have extra rooms and baby gates to give the dogs their own space is we need to leave the house or for sleeping hours.
About: I currently a part time nails tech, I went to people houses and every single client who have dogs and they're so friendly so I would like to join in the team and want to become a sitter, petting and playing with them 😍 Currently my kids are out of school for summer I have panty of time to join what I love to do, even when they go back to school I can do during school hours I have a big background with fences and a cat at home, my kids would love to be around and play, hope to see your pet here with us
About: What sets me apart is that the dogs I watch really become part of our family while they’re here! I’m home all day, so they get tons of attention, playtime, outdoor time, cuddles, and love. I don’t have kids, so the dogs truly are our babies and our days pretty much revolve around them🤍 We have a large fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play, and we love doing pool days when the weather is nice! I really try to make their stay something they enjoy and look forward to, not just a place they go when their family is out of town. I’m also comfortable with all ages and personalities. Puppies get the extra potty breaks, patience, structure, and playtime they need, while senior pups can have a slower, more comfortable routine with lots of extra love. I get to know every dog individually and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My favorite part is when a dog comes back for another stay and gets excited as soon as they realize where they are. I want your dog to feel like they’re coming to their second home and maybe even their favorite little vacation spot! 🐾🤍 I’m currently in graduate school online, so I spend most of my days studying from home. That gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love making new friends if your pet enjoys company. If your dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate them or crate them if that’s part of their normal routine. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely so your pet can stick to the routine they’re used to and feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Very helpful!! Needed someone to watch our pups last minute and she was eager to help! Also very patient when having an issue with getting into the apartment! Dogs also seemed well taken care of!”
“Judi is awesome and my cats love her. She takes great care of them and gives special attention to my diabetic cat. I completely trust her and sends the best Rover cards daily.”
About: I grew up with two mini schnauzers and pet-sat throughout high school and middle school! I love going on walks, especially if they come with animal therapy! Additionally, I have experience fostering pets from the local animal shelter. I currently work full-time but am available in the evenings from 5 to 8 PM, Monday through Thursday. I am also free all day on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. I am comfortable walking, feeding, watering, washing, and crating animals in their homes. I have experience giving insulin injections, too. I do not have any yard space available at my apartment to offer.
About: Hi! I am working as a nurse full time, but only do three shifts a week, so I have lots of open days to devote to your fur-baby!!! I have a four year old poodle named Winnie, and she loves to meet new friends. I have always grown up with animals. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and have tons of experience with puppies as my family owns a breeding business. I am also able to administer medications and handle feedings according to your baby’s schedule. I can’t wait to spoil your pets! :) On my days off, I am free all day and can work my schedule around yours! I am definitely open to in-house visits and long walks, just reach out. I have a townhome in a very walkable and pet friendly area. I frequently take my dog to dog parks, if your dog is into that! I allow animals on the furniture and if your dog is social, my dog Winnie will surely keep them busy!
About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take caring for your pet—I treat them like they’re my own. I have a background working as a pharmacy technician and EMS training, so I’m very attentive, reliable, and comfortable handling situations that require extra care or quick thinking. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, whether that means helping with basic routines and potty training or giving medications and moving at a slower, more comfortable pace. I also make it a priority to keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Honestly, animals are a huge part of my life, so pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I love being around them, and I actually plan my days in a way that lets me give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, it never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away is always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and playtime. For walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise at a pace that fits their energy level. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s giving medications, working on basic puppy routines, or taking extra time with senior pets who need a slower, gentler approach. I also respect your home, keep everything clean, and follow any instructions closely. I always send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Watauga
Elizabeth did an excellent job\! She kept me updated and let me know the routes she and Freedom took each day\. Most importantly, she showed Freedom so much love and care\. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!
We are so grateful that Rebecca was able to step in last minute and do drop-in visits for our dog! We are always nervous about having someone we don’t know care for her, but from the very beginning, Rebecca made us feel completely at ease. She showed our pup so much care, love, and attention, and we never felt an ounce of nervousness while she was with her. Rebecca was incredibly attentive, a great communicator, and clearly genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. We truly appreciated the updates and knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
Alicia is absolutely amazing! I’ve been incredibly nervous and stressed about figuring out the best care for my puppy while working long hours, and Alicia has completely put my mind at ease. Before booking, I wanted to do a meet and greet to make sure that both of my dogs and I felt comfortable, and Alicia was more than happy to coordinate that with me. During the meet and greet, she came prepared with a form to fill out and took detailed notes about my pets and their needs. From that moment, I knew she was going to be a great fit for us! Alicia provides detailed updates after her visits, which I really appreciate and find reassuring. She is also incredibly attentive and will clean up after my puppy, Nova, if she has an accident. She makes sure to let my big boy, Remi, out as well, and she keeps the dogs separated at all times, which is especially important for my peace of mind. It’s clear that Alicia genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. I feel completely comfortable knowing my fur babies are in her hands. You absolutely will not regret booking Alicia to care for your pets!
Jenna is a great sitter for my sweet dog Bobby. She takes great care of him and he loves her. She walks him, plays with him and feeds him. I have used her several times over the past few years. She's very trustworthy and dependable. Definitely will call on her again.
Sarah was amazing and so communicative. She showed so much love and care for Bernie while we were away, that we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. This was our first family vacation and first time ever leaving Bernie. He is a senior dog and we weren’t sure how our vacation would impact his health. Thankfully Sarah sent us daily updates and kept us in the loop of Bernie’s daily activities. She is extremely reliable and sees these pets as her own. Anyone hesitant for a dog sitter because of the unknowns, I can not recommend her enough!
Jennifer was so good with both of my dogs! I felt comfortable knowing that she would take care of my babies while I was out of town. I also added an extra visit at the last minute, which she was more than happy to do. I would definitely recommend Jennifer. She has a calm demeanor, and you can tell that she really cares about your babies!

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 .

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.

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.
