“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were traveling! She was very responsive on chat, and took amazingly cute photos of our boy during each check-in (I seriously don't know how she captured so many with him sticking his tongue out). We also really appreciate her flexibility with scheduling a last-minute meet-and-greet prior to our trip. Highly recommended and would totally book again.”
About: Hi my name is Nick! I'm a proud dog dad to my baby girl Olivia and a big heart and admiration for dogs of all kinds. I've had the experience of both having and taking care of many dogs in my life, including Pugs, Labs, Great Danes, and mix breeds. My favorite dog activities are to go on walks and play fetch in parks with them. I try to be consistent with enforcing good behavior towards them, as well as making sure they're well taken care of within their environment. My typical routine involves going walks for about 30 minutes on average, going to the dog park to get some energy out, and checking to see if they have water and food in their bowls I'm usually available in the afternoons and evenings throughout most of week, mostly on weekends. My time periods are 30 minutes to an hour with dog walking for each visit. When taking care of dogs I make sure that they are well feed, that they're well comfortable at their home especially if the temperature is too hot or cold outside, and that everything is secure and well closed off so that they wouldn't run off from home.
“Cassie was wonderful with my 2 senior cats and all of their specific needs. She was reliable and responsible and sent photos everyday. Everything was in great shape and cats were well when we returned. Highly recommend her!”
“We never used Rover or any pet sitter service before and we were lucky that Bonnie lives nearby and had availability. When we met, both us and Isabella could tell she takes this responsibility seriously and is an avid pet lover.We couldn’t be more pleased with Bonnie’s gentle way with our older kitty. Isabella usually stressed a bit while we are away but she greeted Bonnie each day and enjoyed the time Bonnie stayed to visit. We got detailed feedback on visit, cute photos and personal notes from Bonnie. We definitely look forward to her visiting again when we travel.”
“We can't recommend Julia enough! Finding someone trustworthy for a high-energy puppy wasn't easy, but Julia has been a lifesaver. Reliable, friendly, and genuinely caring. The regular photos and detailed updates always brighten our workday, including funny photos of our cats adjusting to a new puppy brother. Our pets absolutely adore her!”
“Paige is always such a comfort and goes above and beyond! We feel so much more at ease knowing she’s visiting our cat. We have a shy kitty but he always warms up to Paige and loves her 😊”
“Alayna took great care of our cat, spending extra time with her and making sure she understood how her medication worked. She was flexible and understanding when last minute illness changed our plans.”
“Alejandro took such good care of Sally while I was away. I really missed her but he sent multiple photos everyday and was very responsive to any questions I had. I highly recommend.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“Nick was great with our cat Delilah! He was very professional and came and met her ahead of time. She was very comfortable with him as we saw through many cute photos! We would definitely book with Nick again.”
“Julia took great care of our cat! She is communicative, reliable, understood/followed all care instructions, and clearly an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend Julia for your animal sitting!”
“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
“Peaches, my little old Yorkie, took to Jess immediately and they enjoyed a nice walk in the neighborhood. I appreciated her promptness in arriving on time, and her photo that she took of Peaches. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I am a lover of all animals, and I have had both cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had my cat, Burt Macklin (if you’re a fan of Parks and Rec) for over five years and he is my favorite creature! I have no problem taking care of cats of all sizes and am comfortable administering oral medication. I currently can’t own a dog in my apartment, so I love walking and taking care of dogs to get my fix. I can take care of dogs of all sizes and ages, and I’ll be sure to ask about their walking behaviors and any habits/training they’re working on. I am able to do overnight stays when needed and aim to give your house lion and/or pooch the best care while their human(s) are away. I am a very positive and optimistic person, so I will always bring an upbeat attitude to all my dog walks. I am an open book and can answer any questions as needed. Hope to meet you and your fur child! I’m currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility during the week and on weekends. I also have a car and am able to travel with your pet if needed. I take it very seriously when someone trusts me to take care of their pet, whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting. I am always considerate of other people’s spaces and treat both your home and your beloved support creatures like my own!
“Natasha is an amazing sitter! She’s always been super attentive and flexible working with us to make sure our dog is well taken care of and has the best time during her visits. Bonus: she’s a great communicator and gave us updates while we were away. Highly recommend!”

Sydney is amazing!!! She has lots of experience working with dogs and it shows. Mine can be a bit rowdy at times but she had them sitting and calm within like a minute of being there! She’s super sweet and communicative as well. We would 100% use Sydney again. I had 0 concerns after meeting her and our experience was great!
It’s hard to tell who has more fun when Megan walks Clare! Today, they explored far beyond what I booked Megan to do. We ‘ve been relying on Megan for two walks each time we call on her, and she’s very responsible, considerate, and loving to Clare, always adding tummy rubs and topping off her food and water before she leaves.
Carol was amazing! She took wonderful care of my dog and cat for a week, sending thoughtful updates, meaningful notes, and great photos throughout. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. My pets were happy and well cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely book with Carol again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

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 Watertown 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Watertown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Watertown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 95% 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.
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.
