“Thank you Andressa for making our first experience with Rover a great one! Went above and beyond with walks and attention for the kitties as well! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust, so my goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I have had dogs of my own, as well as cared for other dogs, of all ages and sizes! Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection from my whole family. I love spending time outdoors, staying active, and making sure every dog gets the care and comfort they need. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, they will be treated like part of the family. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work from home full-time. I am available for boarding and sitting during the day all throughout the week. Your pet will always have a companion! In my home, pets have access to a secure fenced yard where they can safely roam, play, and get exercise with supervision. Inside, they are treated like part of the family with plenty of attention, affection, fresh water, feeding on schedule, potty breaks, and a clean environment. I can also crate pets if needed or if that is part of their regular routine at home.
“We couldn't have asked for a more reliable and caring dog sitter than Robin! From the moment we met her, we knew our two dogs (and our home) were in excellent hands. Robin not only met but exceeded our expectations in every way possible during our weekend getaway. Her attention to detail was impeccable; she followed all instructions to the letter and made sure our dogs felt loved and comfortable in her care. We received regular updates and photos, which reassured us that our furry family members were happy and content. What truly set Robin apart was her willingness to go above and beyond. She not only took care of our dogs but also took care of our home, ensuring everything was secure and tidy upon our return. It's evident that Robin is passionate about what she does, and her dedication shows in the quality of her work. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loves animals, look no further than Robin. We can't recommend her highly enough and will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Robin, for taking such wonderful care of our dogs and home!”
“Kendall was absolutely amazing! She stopped by to do a meet and greet on short notice and was also able to check in on Leia for an extra day due to my plans changing. She was so great with Leia and I could tell that Leia really enjoyed her time with Kendall as well. She gave so much attention to Leia while with her, and I really appreciated that. She gave very detailed check ins(with lots of pics), which was so nice as I was out of town. I could not recommend Kendall enough if you are in need of someone to show lots of love to your pup!”
“Meagan was super sweet and great with our kitties. She gave them fresh water each visit, topped off their food, picked the cat litter, and cleaned up their puke mess. She even swept the loose litter and brought in a package that was delivered! She gave the kitties she could find lots of lovies as well. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Daniella was amazing! She was super communicative, reliable, and clearly cared so much about my dog. I loved the updates and photos—it gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got back. I already booked with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: ❤️I love pets deeply; we shared 30 years with them, and when they’re gone, it’s because old age took them, after a life by our side.🐾 It fits perfectly; since I am very organized, I have time for everything I need to do during the day, and if I don’t have the time, I don’t take on jobs I can’t fulfill.”🕣 I’m going to take care of your pet with all my love, adjusting my schedule to their needs, so they can enjoy walks, good food, and a day full of comfort, as if their owner were at home. 😁🏡🐾
“Anastasia is by far the best dog sitter I have ever came across. She truly cares for Oreo and Bailey. She treated my fur babies like it were her fur babies. She kept communication with me, ensured that I was in loop with my dogs. I’m truly happy with the service that she provided and I will 100% utilize her in the future. Thank you for everything”
“Madeleine was dependable and resourceful. I left a feral cat in her care and he was more challenging than I expected. Bernie had not been socialized and ran away whenever Madeleine came. But she stayed,talked to him and tried to coach him over to her. She also made sure that he had food and water to drink. I know that her care insured Bernie being here when I came home. I appreciate it.”
“Sandra had been amazing! I had knee surgery and needed someone to help with Nyx's daily walks. Sandra took care of early mornings. She was always on time and Nyx was excited to see her each morning. I will definitely use Sandra's services again in the future!”
“Andrea was amazing with Ginger and Pepper! She was kind, professional, attentive, and kept me updated the entire time. My fur babies were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her! 🐾💕”
“Honey and I will very much miss Reina as she starts her new job. Reina is the perfect person to care for your cherished dog. She truly takes care for it playing, sending detailed notes and photos. You never have to worry.”

“Casey was amazing! Very big stress reliever during our vacation and this was our first time using Rover. One of my pups can be a little grumpy and he seemed like nothing but smiles in the check in photos. Thank you Casey and cannot recommend enough! Loved the notes and photos from the check ins. Thank you!!”

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.
Susan is a master at her craft! She is a true animal whisperer. She went above and beyond to care for our dog, Emi, while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures to ensure we knew Emi was safe. I really appreciated how easy she was to communicate with. Susan truly cares about animals and has fast become my go-to sitter! Thankful to have found her on Rover!
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.

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.

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.
