“Sarah does an amazing job with my cat! I’ve had her watch my little one twice now and she definitely helps to ease any anxieties of leaving your fur child behind. Definitely recommend her for any Rover services.”
“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Susan came and met with us and our cats before we even booked. We felt confident in leaving our cats in her care while we left for a week vacation. She took daily photos and took care of pet needs as well as getting our mail daily and taking out the trash cans. We will use her again”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Claire. She was prompt, kind, went above and beyond with my senior dog, and overall an absolute pleasure to work with.”
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.
“Cheryl did a great job taking care of our dog and 2 cats while we got away for the weekend. She always showed up on time and the animals loved her!! I would recommend her to anyone and look forward to booking her again. Thanks Cheryl!!”
“Alicia was the absolute best! This was the first time we used Rover and we were so nervous about leaving our dogs with someone. From the first time meeting her, she was extremely professional and we loved that she asked questions about our dogs and was so attentive. We loved getting the picture updates daily with their report cards. Our dogs are older and normally don’t take well to strangers, but my heart was so happy seeing both our dogs welcome Alicia into our home without us there. Highly recommend her for all your booking needs. We will be booking her again!!”
“Robin is very reliable and was able to help us last minute! Very kind and professional, and sent me pictures of my babies and gave me updates on how they were doing. I would definitely trust her again to watch our Golden Doodles. Thank you Robin!”
“Good communication, punctual, and on time. She checked in on our cat for a week, and sent pictures everyday so we could see how our cat was doing. We were never worried for our cat while we were gone.”
About: Hello, I am Edith. I have been dedicated to canine care since the age of 11. My experience includes managing our family pets and assisting my aunt with dog walking services in the early 2000s. I am committed to providing compassionate care for all dogs, regardless of size or breed, and I guarantee that every animal will receive the same level of attention I would give my own. I’m currently a full-time worker, I can always work around my schedule to fit anyone’s needs or concerns. I’m am flexible. I have two cats where i currently live but im more than happy to stay at home with your babies if that’s what I need to do.
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.
“Erica's really great to my pups, gentle and patient ever with my crazy 10 month old pup. She's responsive and receptive to last minute changes and communicates well before and after each visit! Bonus for the great pictures she gets of my critters ! (-:”
“Natalie was amazing! Our fur babies were very well taken care of and loved all the photos to help stay connected while we were on a short family trip. We highly recommend Natalie and can’t wait to have her come care for our babies again soon.🥰”
“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.”
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 🤍
“Very helpful!! Needed someone to watch our pups last minute and she was eager to help! Also very patient when having an issue with getting into the apartment! Dogs also seemed well taken care of!”
“Katie is the best. I have a pretty timid cat and she was very kind to him. She followed my instructions to a T and was patient with me solving a digital key issue. 10 out of 10. Would recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take caring for your pet—I treat them like they’re my own. I have a background working as a pharmacy technician and EMS training, so I’m very attentive, reliable, and comfortable handling situations that require extra care or quick thinking. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, whether that means helping with basic routines and potty training or giving medications and moving at a slower, more comfortable pace. I also make it a priority to keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Honestly, animals are a huge part of my life, so pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I love being around them, and I actually plan my days in a way that lets me give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, it never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away is always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and playtime. For walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise at a pace that fits their energy level. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s giving medications, working on basic puppy routines, or taking extra time with senior pets who need a slower, gentler approach. I also respect your home, keep everything clean, and follow any instructions closely. I always send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watauga
Alicia has been amazing! I have senior pups and a little one who gets a little cranky sometimes, she has been kind and considerate. I would highly recommend her and trust her with any pet, in any situation! Thank you, Alicia, for everything you do, especially for my best friends!
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.

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.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
