About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’ve had pets my entire life, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I cherish every unique personality and stage of life. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I know how to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable—even when their favorite humans are away. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they need. Whether it’s slow strolls, administering medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’m here to provide the same level of love and attention I’d give my own pets. Your furry family members are in great hands with me, and I can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits seamlessly into my life because I truly love spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walking, playtime, or just keeping them company, I prioritize creating a safe and happy environment for them while you’re away. I have a fenced yard with one pet currently. We live across from a park and walking trails, offering plenty of room for your pets to walk and get exercise! Our home is pet-friendly and welcoming, with an extra room for crates or quiet time, though we often lounge with our animals throughout the house. I’m not alone in providing care—my partner and my 10-year-old child also love helping out with our furry guests. Together, we create a warm, safe, and loving environment where your pets will feel right at home.

“Sarah helped out when we needed our dog walked several days on short notice. She sent several photos each day and our dog looked really happy each time. The photos were great too. My wife and I joked that Sarah could have a future as a photographer ?”

About: I used to breed dogs a few years back. My experience with dogs ranges from bottle feeding newborn puppies to caring for elderly dogs. Owning several dogs throughout my life has given me an understanding of the care that people have for their pets. I hope that my care for your dogs reflects the love I have for my own. When the weather is nice, I try to spend as much time at the dog park as I can. It helps my dog, Maple, socialize while I can get some much needed outdoor time. I’m big into exercise and working out. Walking dogs gives me the opportunity to appreciate the outdoors while enjoying the company of dogs. I started a business of my own, which has given me free time on the side while I build up clientele. I live in an apartment, thus I don’t have the space to keep or board any more dogs. My dog is a low energy dog who sleeps the majority of the day.

About: I treat all dogs like my own...and my own are my children ? I will always ensure they get lots of love and attention (& treats ) , that they always have fresh water, and I will wipe their paws whenever needed. I will make sure your home is safe and secure when picking up and dropping off. I will walk dogs outdoors in all weather conditions, (anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes at a time) and understand special requests and conditions for each dog. Will ensure each dog is getting exercise and potty breaks and keep the safety of the dogs and those (humans and dogs) around them, and maintain leadership of the pack of dogs (if/when walking multiple dogs at a time). I will take plenty of pictures/videos of your fur baby if you would like, so you can see how they are doing. And last but not least I will always remove pet waste. Let me know if I can help you with anything! I work from home and my partner does too, so your fur baby will always have company unless we step out and are usually gone for no more that 2-3 hours. I have a back yard and a side yard. The backyard is fenced and the side yard isn’t. Whatever works best for your fur baby, works for us. Plenty of room to run around, but walks if part of the routine will be had also. I treat all dogs like my own...and my own are my children ?

“Kimberly is an outstanding doggy sitter. She took time from her very busy day to come and visit my precious Hana prior a couple of days prior to our scheduled service. On the appointment days she arrived on time to take Hana out for a walk around the neighborhood and then for some fun in the dog park. She constantly communicated with me on what my dog was doing and how she was behaving. She also sent several pictures of Hana. Hana is my first ever pet, so I always worry if I am doing something wrong. Kimberly not only put my mind at ease while she was walking Hana, but she also answered my questions and gave me tips about being a first-time dog owner. She really enjoys being with pets, and it shows when you talk to her. I am now her repeat customer and will stay that way as long as she has openings for Hana.”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of caring for dogs. Since I was a kid, I’ve looked after my neighbors’ dogs walking them, keeping them company, and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I truly understand how important pets are; they’re family. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always provide the best, most attentive care possible.❣️🐾🐈🦮 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which allows me to have most afternoons available, as well as weekend mornings. This gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve without rushing. I’m able to be flexible and dependable, making sure each pet’s needs are fully met. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while maintaining their normal daily routine. I also keep owners updated with check ins so they feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I was blessed to grow up with my Maltese, Cookie, for 14 wonderful years. My fiancé and I now share our 7 year old Australian Shepherd mix, Astro, and he’s truly part of the family. 🐾 I've always loved animals and grew up around all kinds of pets, including fish, bearded dragons, and turtles. I also spent a lot of my childhood outdoors and developed a love for animals and nature. I earned my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University as a pre-vet student. Ive worked at a zoo as a zoo keeper and was briefly introduced to dog training. I'm now finishing my Master's in Counseling, with a long-term goal of incorporating therapy dogs and horses into my work. I'm excited to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I'd want for my own. Whether they need a walk, some playtime, or just a little company while you're away, I'd love to help! ❤️ Please feel free to reach out with any questions or just to chat! My schedule is flexible, and I’ll keep my availability up to date. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping them safe and comfortable. For house sitting, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. 🐾

I do anything they ask me that a pet needs and make sure that they get lots of love! I love any kind of dog and cat, any size and breed! I hope to be a great fit for you and your dearest pets! It would be my pleasure to take good care of your furry best friends! I do work full time as an Marketing Coordinator and work remotely on Mondays, Tuesdays, & and Fridays.

I also have open availability every now and then on the weekends! If we can discuss what is needed and expected, i can be flexible! I live in a very safe apartment with my cats. I have nothing that could hurt them in any way and I feed them with the right food they need to stay healthy as well as playing with them everyday. With other animals I have watched, I constantly play with them, let them get out all of their energy by running around in their backyard and/or on walks.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs (big and small) my whole life. All of my animals are trained by myself and my family (very well, if I do say so myself) and I also have experience caring for dogs ranging from 1 month to at least 15 years. I have experience with dogs of every size, behavior style, and training level and have proven apt in handling anything and everything when it comes to mine and other dogs. When caring for your dogs, I will provide them the benefits of a stress free environment, space to run and play, as well as structured and monitored socialization with my own animals (at both you and your dog's comfort, of course). I will provide your dogs with the comfort of their own living space with as little interruption to their daily routine as possible. I also provide constant contact as you so wish and will provide daily updates for you about your animals, as well as answering any questions you have about myself or my experience. I have also attended an animal care/first aid class and have ample knowledge to provide first aid to most animals. Hope you choose me to care for your pets! I am currently unemployed and so all my times is for your babies! I can adhere closely with their set schedules and work as much as necessary to not jar their daily routines. My time is theirs and yours. I have a fenced in back and front yard, with a gate separation between the two for ample security. When sitting in your home, I will ensure that I adhere to their known schedule in order to provide as easy of a week as possible for them. I will also keep you updated throughout their time with me and will be available at any time to call or text so that you can remain aware of your animals I will do my utmost to ensure that you are aware of my weekly schedule (whatever that may look like) before you leave your pets in my care, and should any changes or emergencies come up, you will be my first call (or text) in order to keep you apprised of your pet's care.

Every single day, she sent me updates and cute photos so I knew Jojo was happy, safe, and having a great time.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Watauga

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Watauga is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 7,123 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
