Kayden was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of Jax while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was getting lots of love and attention, and she always made sure he was doing well. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayden again. Highly recommend!

About: Hello! My name is Tyler and I've been around animals my entire life. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, including in my home, as we have a four-year old Frenchie, Odie, and two-year-old Boston Terrier, Marzipan. I am a work-from-home sports journalist who can leave the house, often at specific times, to meet your needs. I also have the flexibility to potentially stay at your home or be there during the day to interact with your animal, as I can work remotely as long as I have internet. I have been helping watch my friends' animals over the last 10-15 years, giving me plenty of experience to help with your animal and give them all the pets they want while I'm there! I am comfortable with doing things like giving medication, putting in a crate, take on walks, etc. Please feel free ot reach out if you have any questions! I am a work from home sports journalist with a very flexible schedule. I do have multiple YouTube shows I do each week where I would need to be in my office, but those are around 11 and 6 on both Mondays and Thursdays. I can do most of my work remotely, so I can sit for you by either hanging out during the day or possibly staying the night. I will treat your dogs like I do my own: with care, compassion, and a lot of love. I am a kind hearted soul myself, and often connect very well with dogs. Whether you need them to be walked, on strict rest, get lots of playtime, etc, I will gladly do that for your pup like I do for my own at home.

We were able to schedule Emma last minute when circumstances left us without a sitter. She took excellent care of our two cats and kept great communication with us while we were out of the country! Would definitely recommend Emma to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Lindsey and her girls did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Koda. They gave him lots of snuggles and love while we were gone. They even left us some cute artwork with a nice note. We will definitely book drop in visits with them again in the future

Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!

About: I’ve had everything from high-energy Vizslas and Weimaraners to squishy-faced English Bulldogs and now two tiny but mighty Yorkies—so I totally get the range of pet personalities! Add in my four cats and you’ll see I’m fully immersed in the pet life 24/7. I genuinely love being around animals—whether it’s playtime or snuggle time, I’m all in. Pet sitting isn’t just a gig for me—it’s an extension of the love I already have for my own furry crew. I currently work from home, which gives me a super flexible schedule for pet care. I’m happy to stop by before or after my workday—or even swing by for a quick lunch break visit! I also love getting outside, so if your pup’s into walks, that’s a win for both of us. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a potty break, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. That means sticking to their regular feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions you leave for me. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether that’s extra playtime, cozy snuggles, or just keeping them company. I also keep things tidy and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine.

About: I've had my 18+ year old cat since he was a kitten and have been around cats and kittens for most of my life. We also have a 7 year old mini goldendoodle who we've trained and raised since he was a puppy so I'm pretty accustomed to being around animals. I will also send friendly updates with pictures or videos if wanted :) I was recently laid off from my corporate design job so I am free and flexible to help/watch your furry friend(s)! I'm available for walks, checkins, or pet-sitting throughout the week. I am available to come to your house in order to feed, walk, give medications, clean litter boxes, take outside, etc. I'm also available if you need a stay-in caretaker.

About: I have owned both cats and dogs in my life time, as well as pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I currently own a black American shorthair cat named Daisy :) I am a single mom who has my kids 50% of the time. When I have my kids, I cannot do overnights but I am open to dog walks, play dates, and feedings. When I do not have my kids I have more flexibility to be with your animal(s) for a longer period of time Given my townhome and the pet I own I currently cannot have animals stay with me. I care for all animals with the utmost gentleness and care. I am able to play with and walk dogs / cats

About: I have two dogs and a cat that I care for over the summer. While in my care, the dogs have been on walks, swam in lakes and been taken to the dog park to chase toys. The cat is an indoor/outdoor cat without a cat door, so she requires constant monitoring so she can get in and out. They are all very loving, so I am also comfortable with high attention needs. I will be working two part-time jobs over the summer, but my hours will not keep me busy, so I will have plenty of time to pet sit I only offer services in client homes, but I am excellent with keeping feeding and walking schedules. Given my experience with dogs, I am also comfortable with playing or relaxing with dogs. Excited pups and layed-back pups are equally welcome!

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student home for the summer, I’m currently working part-time, and my hours are somewhat inconsistent (with a trend towards more availability in the evenings), however taking time off would be no problem for me should it be required, given there’s sufficient advance notice. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

Truly a wonderful experience! I was out of town for a wedding, and had to leave my anxious pup alone for the first time. Gabrielle made the process so easy - and made sure to keep me updated and took good care her! She kept up with her meds, and paid close attention to other dogs while out on walks. Will be booking again!

What a wonderfully relaxing time we had knowing Laura was taking care of our babies! This was our first Rover experience and I just loved seeing the photos and Laura's Rover cards that included details on how everyone was doing. Laura's pricing is fair, and her communication is excellent. I felt so at ease! Look forward to trusting her with our loved ones again and would recommend her highly to all my friends and family! ❤️

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Anna — lifelong animal lover, certified cat-obsessed, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the sidewalk. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I lost my soul kitty, Aida, who taught me so much about love, patience, and tuning into an animal’s emotions. Because of her, I show up for every pet with extra gentleness, attention, and respect. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, understood, and happy while you're away. I’m calm, reliable, and easygoing — but also fun, playful, and fully committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet is social, shy, quirky, energetic, or a little stubborn, I meet them exactly where they are. 🐶🐱 My Pet Care Approach ✨ All animals welcome — cats, dogs, seniors, shy pets, and everything in between. ✨ I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. ✨ I’m patient with anxious or nervous animals. ✨ I give lots of updates so you never wonder how things are going. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets — so I make it easy by treating them like my own. 💬 What Services I Offer -Drop-In Visits Perfect for feeding, litter scooping, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. I’m great with shy cats. 💖 Why Choose Me? • Calm, patient energy animals naturally relax around • Experienced with cats of all ages • Big heart for pets with quirks, anxiety, or special routines • Reliable, communicative, and never rushes through visits • A little extra love in honor of Aida, my heart kitty Since I work from home, it’s easy for me to step out for drop-ins or walks throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, mid-day, or evening visits. Pet care blends smoothly into my week and gives me something grounding and joyful to look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine you already have in place. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications as needed. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and body language so I can adjust my approach — some pets want play, some want cuddles, and some prefer calm company. For house sits (no overnights), I make sure pets feel comfortable in their space, stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and give frequent photo updates so you always know they’re doing well.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Watertown on Rover is $37.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,316 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Watertown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watertown. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
