About: My mother use to work in a kennel, she taught me everything I know about animals. I've taken care of lots of dogs and cats. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs for years until I moved, we had our family dog for a very long time sadly he passed away a year ago to old age. I'm a new mother of currently a 1 year old and having trouble finding work. I figure walking dogs and/or cats can still give me lots of time to spend with my daughter and make some money. I'm available almost always. I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Some of our neighbors have dogs that are friendly. Plenty of grass area and we do lots of walking around the block.
About: It's a natural thing to have a dog in my family and I've had the honor to raise my own for quite some time. Through all the trials and triumphs, I've learned the skills so they live like family. The only question they may have is, what's a pet? I am a college student who has taken some time from work to settle in. My schedule on the weekly is consistent, so allow me to fit you in. I have two of my own and outside of my care there is always someone I can count on and that allows me the gift to give forward. I have a fenced in yard along with free range opportunity. Crates are available. Attention is given and dietary restrictions will be followed. Toys are allowed and will be returned. In my home we take long walks, we free feed, there are several sleeping arrangements, baths are given, toys are shared, we take car rides, my dogs enjoy hunting, and I enjoy painting their nails.
About: I’m ready to be a fur baby grandma and come spoil yours while you’re away!! <3 I brought home my first furry friend when I was about 10, his name was Fuzzy and he was a hamster. Many years later, I became the proud mama of two chihuahuas. They were males, named Bo and Max. My friend aptly labeled them land piranhas. Bo lived to be 16 and Max was almost 19. During the same time I rescued a cat, Napoleon, later in life he was diabetic and I gave him shots of insulin every 12hrs for years. He lived to be about 15. I adopted two ridgeback retrievers who grew up to be about 90lbs each, Dude (7) and Jethro (10). Jethro was diagnosed with a nerve sheath tumor in his hip and I administered pills in AM and PM. Over the years I’ve taken in 3 different stray kittens from my friend’s property. Einstein (11), Charlotte (10) and Gilly who is still alive and well at about 5 years old. I also currently care for Chloe, a 6 year old blue heeler who has a ton of energy! This is currently my primary focus for work so I can definitely be flexible to meet your needs and look forward to helping care for your pet(s). Routine is usually a big part of an animal’s comfort. I am committed to learning your routine and making sure your animal stays relaxed in your absence.
About: Hey! My name is Dylan, and throughout all my years of life I have always been around dogs. My parents always had one, and as an adult I have owned and trained multiple. Being around them has given me lots of experience on care, play, and training, and I love hanging out with them! I'm currently self employed and am available all days of the week! My schedule is very flexible and can meet your pup's needs I can easily crate your pup when needed, I can administer medications if your dog or cat is currently taking them, and I am more than happy to follow any special instructions you may have!
About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Watertown is $11 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 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.

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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
