“Rachel has been great with my dog Hazel. She is great at communicating and letting me know the little details of the visit beyond just the path and basic report. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands while I am at work.”

About: I’ve been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets really sparked my passion for taking care of them. These days, I’m a proud dog parent, and I’m always the go-to person whenever my friends, family, or neighbors need someone to watch or help out with their fur babies. I’ve also spent a lot of hands-on time volunteering at local animal shelters, which I absolutely love Pet care is seamlessly built into the start and end of my day. Every morning and evening, I prioritize feeding, walking, and grooming my dog. Weekly, I dedicate time to deeper tasks like washing bedding and deep-cleaning gear. Because these habits are already second nature to me. When I visit your pet, my main goal is to keep them happy, safe, and on their usual schedule. I'll swing by, double-check that the house is secure, and scoop fresh food and water exactly how instructed. Then, we’ll head out for a good walk or have a fun playtime session. I always send quick text updates and cute photos while you're away so you know how your fur babies are doing.

About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.

About: I have a life long passion for animals and have had animals my entire life! Right now I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I've had cats and dogs, and although I haven't had a reptile, bird or small animal, I attended an agricultural high school at which I helped care for these animals. At the school, I volunteered at an animal daycare for teachers and was in charge of our "woof wash" where be bathed and clipped animals nails. I am always happy to walk and play or just sit on the couch and hang out. I worked in an animal shelter caring for both dogs and cats for 4 years in high school. I don't currently volunteer at a shelter but in the past I have volunteered at Little Guild of St Francis, and Home at Last in Philadelphia. Even in my spare time I love to learn more about dogs and spend time with pups that need it the most!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all kinds — for friends, family, and in my own home. From daily walks and exercise to feeding, bathing, and meeting any special needs, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy every step of the way!! I’m currently working part-time at a new job, which gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for and helping others with their animals. I’m passionate about providing reliable, loving care, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, so they feel happy and comfortable even when you’re away I currently have two dogs at home, including a new addition who loves making friends and meeting other pups. Your dog would be more than welcome to join us on our walks, turning exercise time into fun, social time

About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

About: I’ve cared for many different animals throughout my life, including mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family. I have experience with overnight sitting in the pet’s home. I also have experience caring for senior and special needs animals. I spent 6 months as a volunteer at a vet clinic assisting with exams and surgical procedures, and I am currently exploring career paths in animal sciences and wildlife rehabilitation. I have lots of availability to care for your fur babies! I work part-time as a waitress while exploring different careers in the field of animal behavior and sciences. I have the flexibility to accommodate to your schedule and needs. I can be available on most weekends and holidays. I also accept same-day bookings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home where they feel most comfortable. As well as walking in areas they are familiar with. I always make sure to maintain pet safety in the home such as keeping doors/windows/gates shut and keeping hazardous items and toxic plants out of reach or locked away.

About: Hi everyone. I am new to Rover as a sitter but I’ve taken care of different types of dog breeds for 5 years! Dogs are considered to be humans best friends and I treat them like they’re mine! I provide comfort and care and help each dog with anything they may need, ranging from love, to energy and any special need care the owner may have! I alter my care depending on each need to each individual dog! I am comfortable around all dogs.

I also have days off that need to be filled with more joy and more animals! With a lot of free time, I can make sure your fur baby is never alone and bored! I’m also new on rover as a sitter and I’m super excited to start meeting new pets! I have 2 mini golden doodle puppy one named Tobi and one named Rylee. They are as playful and energetic as they can be. I provide them with attention and energy anytime they need/ want and they control my whole world! This would be no different than taking care of your pets too! Every pet deserves love so I will provide that level of comfortability! I adapt to your pets as if they are my own.

About: I have over 4 years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and small animals. I currently house sit regularly for a family in South Kent, which has helped me build strong routines and trust with both pets and owners. I currently work in the Washington/Kent area pet sitting monthly for a family in Kent and babysitting in Washington.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and they are very comforting. I became a dog foster parent 4 years ago & enjoyed every moment! While fostering these lil puppies, I would train them & take them for walks. My availability looks very flexibly. During the week Monday thru Friday is opened, and the weekends I can work around (if its something that you are needing) I will spend lots of time with them, giving them extra love & playtime, just like if you were there with them so they wouldn't feel so alone!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Watertown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Watertown is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 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 2,749 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Watertown. 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 Watertown. 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 Watertown 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 Watertown. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 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.
