“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.”
“Susie was great with Dobby! She did a meet and greet with us prior to the walk. She was punctual, followed care instructions, took pictures and even squeezed a brushing session in for my dog. Will definitely rebook and refer. Thank you Susie”
“Kayla is a responsible and enthusiastic dog walker! Aurora can be a little wild, but Kayla can manage her without any problem. Aurora immediately liked Kayla and raced over to her for their walk. I'm sure Aurora is looking forward to many more walks with Kayla!”
“We love Johnna. She has a lot of experience with dogs and training, and she helps to maintain training plans while she’s walking our dog, which is very helpful. Plus our dog loves her!”
“Michelle was absolutely great with our anxious pup, Stan, she listened to all of his needs/quirks when I explained them and then made sure she did everything to make sure he was comfortable and happy on his walks! We trust her fully and are so happy we found her!”
“Sydney is absolutely great with our dog Jack! She’s always on time, provides updates, and genuinely enjoys her time with him. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for dog walking services!”
About: Growing up my sisters and I started a dog walking business and offered our services to all the neighbors. We walked and played with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’m currently working as a college softball coach and looking to fill up my my schedule! My schedule varies depending on the season, and my days being wide open in the off-season. I treat all pets like my own, making sure they are fed and played with like I know my Wayne would like. They deserve all the pets!
“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!!!”
“Jessica was great to work with - very easy to communicate with and right on time. She took my boxer out for a full hour walk and brought him back happy and clearly feeling much better after taking care of his business..... twice. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“Kathleen is extremely thoughtful about caring for our dog, who oftentimes takes a while to warm up to new walkers. Kathleen is eager to meet him at his own level by playing catch in the yard. Our dog has warmed up to her very quickly as a result.”
“We are so grateful to have found Nicholas! He is patient and understanding with our somewhat anxious but entirely lovable dog. Always on time, friendly, and helpful. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker. Thank you, Nicholas!”
About: I’ve worked in doggy daycare, I’ve trained my grandmother’s puppy, ✨I have a certificate in basic knowledge of dog body language✨, will clean up all accidents, I’m comfortable & capable of taking care of all dog sizes, and most importantly - I will make sure your furry friend has the best time! I’m extremely loving towards dogs and super passionate in making sure they’re happy :) After all, they unconditionally care for us - it’s only fair we give them the same respect. I take great pleasure in making sure your companion is safe and fully fended for while you’re away! I work a part-time job currently, but I get to choose my own schedule and can tailor it to fit your needs! I’m also a full-time college student but have acclaimed time management skills. *Please note that Rover only lets me choose day availability. You may request a day that appears open, but my availability is dependent on the specific times that you select.* I’ll feed your pet/s, frequently give water when needed, make sure they get playtime, take them outside to go potty (or help them to go inside if you prefer pads), give treats on good behavior (if permitted), and overall make sure you have a happy pup :)
“Hannah was great! I had to go out of town for a conference and we needed someone to take our dog Riley out during the afternoon for a break and a walk. Great communication, and very easy to work with. I'm sure Riley can't wait for the next time I have to go out of town so he can see Hannah 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!”
About: I have genuine experience for 10+ years. I love meeting new pets and making them happy. Family Friends, Neighbors, etc. I’ve done it all! I’m currently working remote and have a very flexible schedule. Whenever you need me (even if it’s last minute) I’ll be there! I’ll make sure to play with the dog and run around with them. If that cat just wants to chill, that works for me!

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!
Susie saved us for last minute walks with my partner’s broken leg and me out of town for work. She was so patient to meet tulip, who’s been protective of the home with partner injury barking at strangers entering our home. She knelt down and calmly waited for tulip to settle and then did some tricks/commands before taking her out to walk to develop trust in tulip. Thanks !
I’m so happy we found Jeremy to care for our dog! He is attentive and very communicative. I also loved that he thinks ahead of time. For example knowing it would rain he asked us to leave a towel to dry Jackson knowing he would get wet. We’ll definitely ask for his services again!
Kaylor is a fabulous dog walker! He walked my dog Margot 3x per week for the past year, and he is dependable, always coming within the time block we requested; he is an excellent communicator, always letting me know if something came up last minute that would change the schedule. He was great with Margot's occasional stubbornness, as well as with the snow, heat, and rain. Highly recommend!!
Nicholas has walked my dog, Bebe, a few times, and he’s been great every time! He always accommodated my last minute requests, which I really appreciated. He’s also very thoughtful, for example, he towel dried Bebe after walking her in the rain. Bebe seems to really like him, and I’ll definitely be using him again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Watertown on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 11,114 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.
