“I could not have asked for more from a cat sitter! Claire was wonderful with my two very particular cats 🐈 🐈⬛ and always gave us tons of information after every visit (a huge relief for a cat with medical issues). Definitely will book again! ❤️”
About: I have experience caring for all types of animals, including dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and exotics. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant with 250+ clinical experience hours, pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine. I will be interning at a vet clinic this summer, but I will have a fairly flexible schedule for care for pets in their own home. Pet care for pets of my own is a part of my weekly routine, including bathing, cleaning, and feeding. I hope to make client pet care a part of my weekly routine as well. I have experience in all aspects of pet care, to ensure a safe and healthy environment to all involved. Cleaning, feeding, bathing, and medication administrationh are just a few of the ways I can cater to you and your pets needs. Creating and maintaining an environment perfect for your pet is my top priority.
“Hope provided excellent assistance when we needed a last minute check in on our dog! She was quick and clear with communication and made sure our fur baby was let outside to potty and cared for. We will request her services in the future!”

“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!”
“We are so grateful for Aspen taking the time to bond & watch our pack for us when we travel! We understand 3 pups can be a lot but Aspen naturally jumps in, giving each dog her undivided attention!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was scrolling looking for someone I just got a great feeling about her I made the perfect Choice. I was away on a birthday trip 7 days, and she took incredible care of my cat, Arrow, the entire time. She kept in touch with me every day, sending updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Arrow was well cared for, played with him, scooped his litter box, and even took the litter outside afterward to make sure my apartment stayed fresh which was great to come home to. She also took the time to let him drink from the faucet his absolute favorite thing! which showed me that she really paid attention to his personality and routines. On top of taking such great care of Arrow, Amber went above and beyond by bringing my trash can in and even putting my birthday flowers inside the house and in fridge to keep them fresh for me 🥹 It’s clear that Amber genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. Knowing Arrow and my home were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized care and attention I give to each dog. I treat every pup like they’re my own! I learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and loved while you’re away! I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior dogs who require gentle care, medication reminders, and a slower pace. I’m patient, reliable, and fully committed to making your dog’s comfort and happiness my top priority. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. Since I work from 9 to 12, I have plenty of time in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give dogs the attention, walks, and playtime they need. Whether it’s a midday check-in, afternoon adventure, or evening cuddle session, I’m able to be flexible and present. I prioritize keeping a calm, consistent routine that helps pets feel secure and loved while you’re away. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine and surroundings, which helps them feel calm and secure. I make sure doors and gates are always locked, walk routes are safe, and your pet is never left unsupervised outside. In my home, I provide a quiet, pet-friendly space that’s free of hazards and full of love. I limit exposure to other animals (unless otherwise agreed upon) and make sure your dog has a cozy spot to rest, play, and feel right at home. I also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy!
About: Hi! My name is Christian. I absolutely love dogs of all sorts. I have two girls of my own who are my whole world and so incredibly spoiled! I am offering my services as a dog walker for your pup! While I know we live in Texas and it is so incredibly hot here, I will only be doing walks in the morning and at night to ensure your pup does not get over heated. Their safety is my number 1 priority! While I do travel for work, I have a lot of free time during my days off. I will be able to walk your dog 1-2 times a day, morning and night. While it’s so hot in Texas, your dogs safety is my top priority, so walks during the day heat of the will not be provided. Safety and security are my top priorities! Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements while walking, for example dog/people reactivity, leash pulling, etc. I am willing to work with all.
“Alina was super communicative and helpful when one of our dogs got injured while we were out of state and needed extra assistance and medication. We appreciate her so much!”
“Maggie did a great job with our pets! We have a shepherd that is protective of the home so she spent extra time with us at the park so he could get to know her before we left.”
“Iman was so friendly and took great care of my dog. You can tell that she really cares about animals and that is what you want when you have someone watching one of your fur babies!”
“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: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’ve owned a Yorkie for most of my life and have regularly cared for larger dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m attentive, patient, and very observant, so I pick up on changes in behavior, energy, or comfort quickly. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and on their usual routine. I follow care instructions closely and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time. I’m typically available after 3pm on weekdays and have flexibility in the evenings. I’m dependable about scheduling, communication, and sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I prioritize safety and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, but I primarily keep dogs indoors to ensure comfort and safety, especially during colder weather. I’m careful about leashes, gates, and doors, follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal schedule, and maintain a calm, clean environment so they feel comfortable and secure.
“Josh has been watching my dog smoke on and off for a little over a year now and I am so thrilled with his service! We do drop in visits and it is so nice to know I have someone I can trust and that my dog really enjoys being around! Hands down the best dog sitter I have ever had!”
About: My wife and I have worked with animals in just about every way and between us we have 22 years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. While my experience is in pet boarding, retail, and nutrition. My wife’s experience is in veterinary, training, large animal, exotics and grooming. Both of us have worked closely and partnered with several rescue groups and have had fosters of all different kinds! We do not breed discriminate in this household! We are available for dog boarding weekdays, weekends and holidays. We both work full time but my wife works four days a week and can also take your furry family members to work with her. We have a lovely home with a nice sized fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. We have 2 friendly dogs and 2 cuddling cats to keep your fur family company. While we don’t crate the animals during the day we do have them to use if you’d prefer or if they are necessary. We love to cuddle up on the couch with them and play, and our 6 year old daughter loves to pitch in and help take care of everyone. Our dogs and cats are extremely well socialized and get along with all types of creatures including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, other pocket pets, and reptiles.
About: Since I was a young child I have had cats and dogs galore to watch since I was homeschooled. I also was paid to watch my grandparents 10 dogs and numerous catsl I myself have 2 beautiful cats named Binks and Yoda. I have always loved animals and will always keep your pet active! I am currently going to school at Tulsa welding school but I’ll only need 2 days out of the week to go to school at night which gives me plenty of time to keep your pets occupied! I always keep doors closed to places that might be harmful to your pet. And I will always follow your instructions to the letter because I understand that you have rules set in place for your pets. I also am really good at knowing when a pet is going to do something they’re not supposed to do and stop them accordingly.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Watauga
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!
This woman is an angel! She’s so experienced with dogs from all walks of life and demeanors. She’s very professional and communicative and worthy to trust with your home and fur baby. My dog hates most people and they hit it off so quickly! I’m so relieved that I found someone capable of handling my reactive, and often unfriendly, dog.
I’ve been very happy with her help with my animals. She drops in once or twice a day as needed and adjusts to my schedule, which is extremely helpful, especially when I like to be gone for church all day on Sunday from like 9 AM until almost 9:30 PM… It’s so nice not having to run home in the middle of the day but yet still come home to all my fur babies, and they’ve been taken care of!
Alicia is the best!! This is the second time she has come to the rescue and watch our pups! Both Bailey and Zoey love her, and it makes us feel so at ease leaving knowing she is taking care of them! Highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your animals!!

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 .

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.

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.
