“Andrea has been so great! Our Phoebe has been so happy having a new friend to hang out with her for a little bit during the week. Super sweet dog sitter and we can’t thank her enough!”
About: Howdy! My name is Dallas, and I’m excited to embark on a new adventure in my life. I’m a bartender with an active spirit, who loves the outdoors and furry companions. I’ve only ever raised and cared for dogs, and my current furry friend is a Heeler/Lab mix. She’s a small, energetic, and playful girl. I also have some experience with livestock, having grown up with horses. So, heavy, dirty chores are rarely an issue for me. I’m always up for an adventure or a relaxing day with some company. I currently work part time. Leaving some time and days to be able to care and spend time with the pups! I will accommodate as much as possible I do live in an apartment, I will probably not invite any into my little home to avoid any potential issues for you or your fur baby.
“Robin has a pure love for dogs and their well-being. She made sure our Blue was well taken care of and spent quality time with him daily. I highly recommend using Robin ❤️.”
“Second time with Rover, first time w/ Sarah. Nervous using someone new but all went great. Sarah is very responsive, was consistent with her care and sent wonderful pictures of my cat Merlin. Merlin was fine when I got home, the most important thing. Thanks Sarah!”
“Susan is a very kind and caring cat sister! She is well organized and stands behind her confirmed visits and times! You can depend on her. She will do a great job for you, and send pics of everything during her visits! It’s great to have confidence in a pet sitter while you are on vacation! We are very happy with Rover and how easy it was to use the app!”
About: I have experience with taking care of all range of pet needs, from strict schedules to more flexible basic care needs. I regularly take care of my friends and family pets. We walk. We read. We nap and snack. If there's a schedule to be kept, I'm on top of it. If your cat, dog, iguana, bird, or other pet is more flexible and just wants to chill, I'm happy to do that as well. You let me know what your beloved pet needs and I'll help make it happen. I usually take/send at least daily care pics with the pets activities of the day as well. I have a flexible schedule! I can do any time. Whether it's early mornings. Late nights. Sleep overs. Weekends.Holidays. Afternoons! Whatever your fur kid needs. Safety and trust always first. I will treat your fur kid's like my own. I will give them walkies. Pets and cuddles. Reading time. Snack time. I will love on them.
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.
“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: 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’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.
About: I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I am familiar with what they need and different behaviors they may exhibit. I am a caring person that loves animals and I have cats and a dog of my own. I would love the opportunity to love on your pet while you are away to make sure they get the love and care they need. I know it can be hard to leave your beloved pet so I want to help make you feel as comfortable as possible with the care they will be getting. I follow instructions well and would send pictures and updates throughout the day and night. You will not regret leaving them and will be able to enjoy time away.
“Emma is FANTASTIC! I received a lot of photos and videos which made being away from dogs a lot easier. Emma is so caring with my animals and is the only dog sitter we will be using.”
“Ada responded promptly to my inquiry to watch my cat, she was an absolute pleasure to meet during the meet-and-greet. She has a wonderful outgoing personality, and while I was out of town she sent me detailed reports with several pictures and two videos. My cat is elderly and nearly blind but she treated him so nicely as if he was her own. I was very happy and will absolutely use her services again. Thanks Ada!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver than Brenda. She cared for Mona and Sox with so much love and even went the extra mile helping around the house. Exceptional in every way! We are trully grateful.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watauga
Joanna took great care of our two cats while we were out of town. She took their very different personalities into consideration and gave them both what they needed to feel comfortable during our absence. She was an excellent communicator and sent pictures and updates each day. She was very professional and we would love to have her watch our babies again.
Angelika has been so friendly, consistent, is always on time, and has overall been a great pet sitter for my dog! Knowing she's dependable puts me more at ease while I'm gone. She makes sure my dog gets a much-needed potty break and plenty of attention and playtime while I'm stuck at work. I'd definitely hire Angelika again, and would recommend her for anyone needing a reliable midday drop-in visit.
Jennifer, aka “Momma Rover,” is absolutely amazing! ❤️ She takes such wonderful care of my Clover girl, and I never have to worry about her when we travel. Clover absolutely LOVES seeing Jennifer every time we leave town, and that means the world to me. Jennifer treats Clover like one of her own and always goes above and beyond to make sure she is happy, loved, and well cared for. Knowing Clover is with someone she loves and trusts makes traveling so much easier. We are so thankful for Jennifer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their fur babies. She truly is the best ❤️🐶
We had a wonderful experience! She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even brought our packages inside, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. We would definitely recommend her and will happily book with her again!
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. ❤️
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Watauga is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 7,527 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Watauga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watauga. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
