“Aurora loved Alyssa right away and dogs know who their friends are! Alyssa was prompt and totally comfortable walking lively Aurora. I hope they go on a walk again soon!”
“Susie is so nice to our pup; and extremely reliable! She communicates very effectively and we always get such good pics of our dog on walks! Would highly recommend”
“Traci has been perfect for our girl. We are so grateful that she was able to take Cora for a walk on such short notice. She then helped create a plan for us as we only adopted Cora a week ago! We look forward to hopefully many more walks with Traci.”
“Alexander was absolutely amazing with our two large dogs. They enjoyed all of the walks that he took them on and he was always on time and made sure to send us pictures. Can’t recommend him enough.”
About: I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays. I am working primarily from home, my calm Beagle-Mini Pin mix Sarah—affectionately called "the meagle"—enjoys having canine companions! With a lifetime of dog ownership experience, I'll ensure your pet receives expert care and plenty of entertainment, including regular walks in our nearby park. Whether you need daytime hosting, walking services, or overnight care, I'm happy to help. I am working primarily from my home office, so I will be available to walk, play with, and keep your dog company throughout the day. I provide at least three daily walks on a nearby walking path, plus additional indoor and supervised backyard play time (on leash, as our yard is unfenced).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, often taking on the role of the neighborhood pet sitter when families go out of town. I love all animals, (especially cats and dogs) providing them with care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently a freelance musician and part time violin teacher, so I often have mornings and afternoons free, and sometimes weekends too, for pet care. I’m so happy to take care of your pets, so they will have my complete attention when I am with them. Your pet’s safety is my priority when they are in my care!
About: I have years of experience dog sitting large breed puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medication to animals. Additionally, I have significant experience caring for service dogs. I am a recent graduate with an abundance of free time, particularly over the summer. Other than the infrequent trip, I am available 7 days a week for pet care! I treat your home with the upmost respect, leaving as clean or cleaner than when I arrived. Additionally, I value your privacy and will maintain professionalism at all times.
“Diane is always attentive to our dog’s needs and is good at communicating how our dog has behaved during the walk. It’s so nice to know how my dog is when I’m not around. I highly recommend Diane.”
“My family and I made a great choice picking Carol. We were at ease knowing that she would show up everyday as requested. We will book her again for sure. Thank you Carol!!!”
About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy, healthy, and safe. As the proud parent of Gwen, my gentle 11-year-old Great Dane, and Luna, my energetic and sweet 5-year-old American Staffordshire, I’ve spent years training, walking, and bonding with dogs who have very different needs. Having an older dog has given me experience with administering meds (with or without food) and being considerate of slow and easy walks when needed. I genuinely love spending time with dogs—it’s not just a job for me, it’s a passion. What sets me apart from other walkers is my ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level, my calm and confident handling skills, and my commitment to reliability. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your dog like one of my own. As a chef, I work mainly evenings, which leaves my daytime hours wide open—and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending that time outdoors with a dog by my side. Whether it’s a mid-morning stroll or an early afternoon adventure, I’m available during the day for reliable, energetic walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m organized and efficient with my schedule, so you can trust that your pup will get consistent, on-time care while you’re at work or running errands. At home, I keep a calm and relaxing environment where dogs can unwind, nap, and feel safe—perfect for pups who need a quiet space to decompress. That said, there’s also plenty of room for play! My 5-year-old American Staffordshire, Luna, is full of energy and always ready to share her toys or make a new friend. She’d love a buddy to play with around the house or join her for fun outings at the park. Whether your dog prefers a peaceful nap or a playmate to romp with, I’m happy to provide a balanced and comfortable space that fits their personality. I always have my dog crate open if any dog (mine included) feels the need for some alone time.
“Devika is fantastic! She is reliable and communicative and clearly loves dogs. Rishi was comfortable with her right away. She sent us photos and an update so we knew all was well. Definitely recommend.”
About: I worked with LastHopeK9 in fostering and taking care of dogs. I've pet sitted and walked dogs around my neighborhood many times. I've had my own dog who I trained for around 9 years. I'm an animal lover who cares about a dog's well-being and pays attention to their needs. I currently have a part-time internship, so I have plenty of time during the week! Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am available all day, as well as most weekends. I would make it a priority on those days to fulfill my duties. I am always respectful and diligent of what the client indicates me to do in their house and with their pet. I respect the owners rules and make sure to follow a routine for their pet, as well as communicate with the client about how it's going.
About: I am an absolute dog-lover and will provide your pup with the care and affection they need. I am open to pet sitting, dog walking, or quick pop-ins. If your dog loves walks and exploring the outdoors; if you need a reliable dog sitter; and if you want to have confidence in your dog's safety while you're away, please contact me and I would be thrilled to discuss what works best for you and your pup. I work from home and am available for walks most days of the week, with flexible timing. I can dog sit week days and weekends with proper notice. I prefer to stay in my clients homes where the dog is most comfortable, offering a gentle transition to your absence! I do offer stays at my home, however the dog must be house trained but I have great walking areas around me and a small backyard.
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Watertown is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Watertown
We love Bryana, she’s very responsive and flexible with scheduling Cali’s weekly walks. Cali is a senior girl and Bryana gives her the extra love and care she needs! She makes sure Cali gets all of the sniffs in during their walk as well as walking at whatever pace Cali needs that day. I HIGHLY recommend Bryana for any pet care needs!!
Lindsay is simply wonderful! We were in a pinch and looking for a new dog walker, and she was great- she arrived on time, considerate of our property, was thoughtful and asked several questions, which clearly meant that she was thinking about Maxie and his needs. She's also easy to coordinate with, and very clear and prompt in her communication. She did a test walk with Maxie and a real walk today, and it went perfectly! They both had fun and we are back to feeling completely happy and safe in the knowledge that Maxie is in caring and reliable hands.
Priscilla is reliable, kind, and a great communicator. She even went above and beyond when my dog Milo ended up with a tummy ache while in her care. I loved all the pictures she sent and felt at ease knowing Milo was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again!
Wendy’s great with Bebe! I love that she can always accommodate my last-minute requests. She has walked Bebe a few times, and Bebe always has a great time with her. Wendy always makes sure she’s okay after the walk and feeds her if needed. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Watertown on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,948 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 your Watertown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Watertown.

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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
