About: We have had pets our whole lives, and we have cared for our own pets for the past 20+ years. We've had all creatures great (St. Bernard) and small (hamsters). We currently have 2 dogs, a cat, and 4 chickens. We have spent the past 5 years fostering pups through a local rescue and loved every minute of it. We have aided in puppy training to senior care through both personal pets and fostering. Amy also works at a vet clinic with regular interaction with all sorts of animals. Outside of all the experience, we love animals. We love playing, snuggling, training and treating all animals as if they are our own. Our 3 children have also inherited a love of animals and love to interact with any pet that comes through our home. ❤️ Both adults in the home work. Our hours do allow for someone to be in the home multiple times throughout the day with our resident pets are only being left alone for no more than 3 hours a day. Potty breaks and cuddles in the morning and then walks, and lots of cuddles in the afternoon and evening. Our resident and foster pups have a basic schedule of eating and morning, afternoon and evening potty breaks in our backyard. Dogs that are trained well on a leash, or new puppies that need training, will get 2-3 walks a day. We have cozy places for naps and all pets are allowed on furniture. Depending on the pet we are happy to let them free roam or crate, whatever the preference is of owner for times we are not home. Between the adults and kids, and pet in the home, your pet will get lots of cuddles and playing, treats and mind stimulation.

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.

About: I have had both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had both through all stages of their lives, puppy/kitten - senior. I also have experience with administering medications. I am a college student who misses my own pets, and I would love to help care for yours so they do not get lonely! I am currently a college student and flexible on campus job as well. This semester I am in class from 8am-1pm M/W/F, and 10:30am-12pm on T/Th. However, I make sure to find time on my lunch breaks and before and after class to make sure pets can get outside and get a little love in between the times I have to be away. I have been a pet owner for my entire life, and I am very akin to having a furry companion around! I take care to make sure that they are well loved, fed, and cleaned up after throughout my daily routine. I also love a good cuddle session with a cat or dog!

About: I treat every pet like family. You’ll get photo and video updates throughout each stay, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I take time to learn your pets quirks and routines and love detailed instructions. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can provide real attention to your pet. Pets are a natural part of my day! I have a cat at home and we have lots of play time. I work from home full time and like to go on long walks or runs. I have a very flexible schedule, so any time sensitive schedules can easily be set. When pets stay with me I set up a space with their own bed and familiar items. I keep their feeding and potty schedule consistent. In your home, I follow your routines and send updates after each visit. As a pet owner myself, I keep an eye for changes in routine or behavior and I’ll contact you if anything seems off.

I am available all weekdays and certain weekends- just shoot me a message and I will let you know!

About: I currently have two pomskies, a russian blue, and a black cat. I also had two 80 lbs Weimaraners, a black cat, and a teddy bear hamster growing up as well as taking care of all the neighbors pets when they would go on vacation prior to starting Rover! I now have interacted with almost every size of dog and multiple cats through my services. - I was a dual-sport athlete in college where I did gymnastics and track, and I currently weight lift. I preface this because some pet owners in the past have said I appear to be a smaller girl but I am stronger than I look and have walked/taken care of big dogs and very high energy dogs😂 - My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to give your pet some fresh air and exercise during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. You may book two per day! •I’m always open to any extra needs or modifying for your situation!! I’m currently in law school and have class mid-day from August to May. I have mornings and evenings/nights open for drop in visits and dog walking during these months. From May to August, I work very early mornings 5x a week. I’m free 2pm and onwards during the summer months for drop-ins and dog walking services. I also stop by prior to my 6am start time for work to do drop-in visits as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for anything at all! •I always allow meet-and-greets for a quick 10 minute appointment (free) prior to any drop-ins or walking services so that I’m no stranger to you or your pet before I stop by for the first service. This also allows us to establish what needs your pet may have and your expectations for me. These aren’t mandatory to be able to book with me, just solely a comfort thing! •I remember the way pet items were stored in your home and return them back to the way they were after I’m done using them. •I always message you and ask for permission prior to entering any other part of the house that’s not necessary to the service. This rarely happens, but for example: a dog I came to walk was sleeping in the master bedroom so I messaged the owner first prior to retrieving him for our walk😂

About: Animals have always been part of my life—from dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, and even a pot-bellied pig! Big or small, I love them all! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom finishing up my master’s degree, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with your fur babies! I’m available for sitting and walking on both weekdays and weekends. I prioritize following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions or restrictions you provide. I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and cared for.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was very young! I have knowledge of young to elderly pets and pets with special needs. I like to be as open as possible so feel free to ask anything to put your mind at rest. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most days, with my only scheduled commitment being a Zoom class on Thursdays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure their individual needs are met. I also have dogs of my own, so I’m already familiar with maintaining a consistent pet care routine. I would be willing to take them on walks, play with them, cuddle, and feed/provide any medication they may be on. I want you to feel confident about leaving your animals in my care. I am very flexible and willing to provide any care you normally provide for your fur baby.

About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be commuting to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.

Let us know in our conversation during a meet and greet. Pet care is one of our daily priorities. We love animals and just want them to be as happy with what we do for them as how they want to be around us. We always treat your pets like they’re our own.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to turtles and horses! Being around animals makes me very happy and this is a way that I love to destress! I would absolutely love to help you and add a little less stress or worry to your day by playing with your dog(s), taking them on walks, whatever you might need! It causes for less stress on both parties! I used to work on a farm and my job was to feed all the animals (over 50!!) in a timely way and I absolutely loved it! If your dog has a special meal plan I will make sure to adhere to it and that they get lots of love and pets along the way!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Watertown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Watertown is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 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.

As of October 2026, there are 4,466 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 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:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
