“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.”
“Cheryl watched my two dogs, JoJo and buster and took the extra time. It was necessary for my older boy buster to eat his full dinner before she left. She came by for 2 weeks. She was outstanding. The dogs were happy. Their water dish is full and she even helped keep it clean back there where they ran around. I just can't say enough how much that her care made me. Appreciate her even more. I was a very worried pet owner leaving for that long. Thank you Cheryl. You were awesome!”
“Haylle did a great job taking care of our cat during a week long vacation. Our cat is super shy with strangers, but surprisingly warmed up to Haylle in just a day! We will definitely rebook.”
“Susan always does a fantastic job with our Coco-girl. This was a last minute booking and I was so appreciative that Susan was able to take care of her. Susan is our go-to for anything dog related. She is very conscientious & does a great job. We appreciate you, Susan!!”
“Elizabeth did such a great job taking care of my pets and I can't wait to take another vacation so I can rebook her! I can tell that my cats and dogs loved her so much and were very happy every time she stopped by to visit. She did a great job walking them and she must be very strong because my husky's can pull a lot of their leash. Elizabeth is an excellent communicator and always let me know how my dogs were doing and took great pictures! She is the BEST!”
“Claire is amazing sitter. Her communication skills are top notch, she sends detailed updates every visit. She’s trustworthy and honest, i would recommend her to all of my family and friends”
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.
“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: 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 🤍
“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.”
“Robin is very sweet and is an amazing, experienced person to trust with your pets. Our dogs and cat were all excited to see her each day. She's a great communicator, timely, and proactive about getting needed information before we went out of town. She handled some unexpected events with grace, cleaned the floor of any muddy paw prints, and sent multiple check in photos daily. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe every dog deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality, needs, and comfort level. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds—including dogs with fear, anxiety, food aggression, and other behavioral challenges. I’ve even worked with a former dog-fighting pit bull, learning to build trust and provide care at the dog’s pace. I’ve also trained and cared for my own pets throughout every stage of their lives, from puppyhood through adulthood. I love getting down on their level, learning their quirks, and figuring out what makes each individual dog feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether your pup is energetic, nervous, stubborn, goofy, or a professional couch potato, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. Every dog has a different personality, and that’s one of my favorite things about caring for them. 🐾 Every pup is my favorite. I’m currently doing online EMT schooling and work overnight from 3pm-3am. I’m home with an open and flexible schedule during majority of the day, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My days are naturally centered around animals, so I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. My husband works for the city and is often away for work, which means I have even more time to devote to my four-legged guests. I genuinely love having animals around and never get tired of giving them attention, affection, and plenty of love! 🐾 I have a private yard at home as well as a larger, gated public dog park nearby, giving my four-legged guests plenty of options for exercise and play. The neighborhood is very pet-friendly, and there are lots of friendly pups around for those who enjoy making new friends. There’s also a large park and pond just a short walk away, which is one of my favorite places to walk. I’m always happy to bring my furry guests along for some fresh air, exercise, and exploring! My home is also shared with my three cats, Lokie, Grim, and Indi, and my two dogs, Bear and Ghost. All five are part of the family and are accustomed to living in a busy, multi-pet household. My cats are comfortable around dogs, and my dogs are used to sharing their space with other animals. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as comfortable as possible while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision. Every pet gets individual care based on their personality, energy level, and needs. ❤️
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.
“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. ❤️”
“Vanessa was great! My dogs loved her. She did everything I asked for and went above and beyond to take care of my dogs. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’ve owned a Yorkie for most of my life and have regularly cared for larger dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m attentive, patient, and very observant, so I pick up on changes in behavior, energy, or comfort quickly. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and on their usual routine. I follow care instructions closely and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time. I’m typically available before 7:30am and after 4pm on weekdays and have flexibility on the weekends. I’m dependable about scheduling, communication, and sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I prioritize safety and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, but I primarily keep dogs indoors to ensure comfort and safety, especially during colder weather. I’m careful about leashes, gates, and doors, follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal schedule, and maintain a calm, clean environment so they feel comfortable and secure.
“I highly recommend Julieta. I was out of town for 3 days and it was my first time to use drop in visits. My dog was well taken care of by her and she sent me pictures of my dog which gave me a huge relief. I definitely will let her take care of my dog when I’m gone next time.”
“Jada did absolutely amazing watching out puppers while out of town. Received lovely check in photos and feedback regarding the dogs. She gave such tender love and care to them and our home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone you can trust while your away.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Watauga is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watauga
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!
We are so grateful that Rebecca was able to step in last minute and do drop-in visits for our dog! We are always nervous about having someone we don’t know care for her, but from the very beginning, Rebecca made us feel completely at ease. She showed our pup so much care, love, and attention, and we never felt an ounce of nervousness while she was with her. Rebecca was incredibly attentive, a great communicator, and clearly genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. We truly appreciated the updates and knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!

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.
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!

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 .

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.
