“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 ?”

“Angelika was fantastic with my French bulldog, Jojo! She was completely reliable and always showed up on time and super flexible. She has great daily communication. Every single day, she sent me updates and cute photos so I knew Jojo was happy, safe, and having a great time. If you need someone who truly cares and does a wonderful job, I cannot recommend Angelika enough. Jojo is already looking forward to his next walk with her!”

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.

About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.

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.

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.

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and have always been an animal lover. In high school I took an interest to veterinary medicine & interned at a vet clinic. I have experience with cats & dogs of all ages. I currently own one dog and three cats who are all well taken care of and loved! Everyone gets their monthly flea & tick prevention as well as bathing, nail trims, and teeth brushing! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals - whether it’s playing, feeding, or just getting to know their personalities. I treat them all as my own and I have so much love for them. I’m currently working as a tattoo artist part time, but I make my own schedule! I’m available early mornings - late afternoons. My schedule is flexible so I’m able to accept last minute drop-ins! 30 minutes or multiple hours, I’m available 🫶 Your pets’ safety is my top priority! Any care instructions will be followed exactly & they’ll get my undivided attention the whole time. I’ll make sure they’re always safe and comfortable 🤍

About: I have experience caring for other people’s pets and genuinely enjoy providing them with attentive, loving care. I have cared for my boss’s two dogs and have been the trusted caregiver for my close friend’s dog, Charlie, whenever she travels to India. Charlie and I spend several weeks together during her trips, and I have been caring for him consistently for over four years. I understand the importance of maintaining pets’ routines, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention, and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I am currently working full-time. My weekend availability includes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and I am happy to care for pets during this time. As the owner of two pets, I have a deep affection for animals and am eager to devote some of my free time to their care. I am presently unable to care for additional pets at my residence. I currently live in an apartment with 2 pets. I am open to traveling to you for improved care options.

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 ?

About: Pet Care Profile Hi there! Thank you so much for visiting my profile and considering me to care for your beloved fur baby! 🐾 Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve raised dogs of all sizes, from tiny terriers to gentle giants like mastiffs, and I’ve had the privilege of loving them through every stage of life—from playful puppyhood to their sweet senior years. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a little extra playtime, a potty break, or simply some company and cuddles while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I currently share my home with three spoiled pups of my own—a Lab mix, a Boxer mix, and a Husky mix—so I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things. ❤️ My goal is to make your time away a little easier by making sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. And I’m a big believer in keeping pet parents in the loop! You can expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. 🐶📸 I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I want to be able to offer you and your pets the best possible sitting experience! Please reach out with any questions! Thank you so much 😊 I’ll give your pet the same love and care that you would! As a devoted (and admittedly a bit overprotective) pet parent myself, I completely understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in the best hands while you’re away.

Monique did a GREAT job with Bella! It's hot out and Bella is older so Monique walked at a pace that depleted Bella's energy but didn't make her too tired. Grateful for Monique's care of Bella and will book again. Thank you, Monique!

If you are looking for an amazing dog walker, I cannot recommend Ashley enough! I was in a pinch recently and needed someone last minute, and she totally came in clutch. What really stands out about Ashley is how great she is with dogs. My frenchie warmed up to her right away, and it is clear she genuinely loves and knows how to handle animals. On top of that, her communication is top-notch. She kept me updated the entire time, which gave me complete peace of mind. Ashley is reliable, super sweet, and fantastic at what she does. I will definitely be using her again!

Angelika was fantastic with my French bulldog, Jojo! She was completely reliable and always showed up on time and super flexible. She has great daily communication. Every single day, she sent me updates and cute photos so I knew Jojo was happy, safe, and having a great time. If you need someone who truly cares and does a wonderful job, I cannot recommend Angelika enough. Jojo is already looking forward to his next walk with her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Watauga

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Watauga on Rover is $21 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 7,318 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 your Watauga. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Watauga.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
