Attention to all military families!! If you need someone super trusting to come and watch/take care of your furry family, do not hesitate to book with Lindsey! She was phenomenal and truly treats your babies like her own! She was super attentive, gave great timely updates, went beyond expectations in her care. She booked us the week before my husbands and I’s trip, took on the added challenge of taking care of one of our sick babies last minute as well. Well 100% be booking with Lindsey in the future ❤️🤧

We’ve had Justin do drop in visits a few times over the last few months. We recommend him to others looking for someone to care for their pets. We of course will continue to use him when we go away.

This is the second time we have used Gabby and she is amazing! We have a very shy cat who hides from most people but he took to her very quickly. She goes above and beyond and we would recommend her to everyone!

Madison was great! We needed someone last minute due to an emergency and she kept our minds at ease by taking such great care of our pups. Her communication skills were top tier. We could not recommend her more. Thank you so much Madison!

You will not find anyone more dedicated to taking care of your pets than Eliza. She did in home drop in visits for our 2 cats while we were out of town for the holidays. The catch was that it was during the Christmas Blizzard of ‘22 and she never missed a beat. I give the highest recommendation for her to care for your furry family.

Alexia was excellent with our two cats. Her experience working at a vet clinic was a great comfort since one cat has had health issues in the past. She went above and beyond to care for him. She was also flexible when our travel schedule changed at the last minute, which was greatly appreciated!

About: I have have had dogs all my life and cared for friends and family dogs while folks need to travel or run errands. All sizes and breeds welcome I work from home 8 am - 5-pm and with my children grown I have time to help others when they need dog sitting. I have two female Yorkies and a female Bernese Mountain Dog. All very friendly. I usually walk dogs twice per day and let them out side tied on a 20’ lead in my back yard as often as they want to go outside.

Nicole made it so easy for us to leave for our trip and leave our 3 dogs in her care, we never worried once about them! They had a great time adventuring and playing w her pup, as seen by the many awesome pictures she provided us with which was so nice to see! She’s definitely an expert in the field of caring for dogs & we’re so glad to have found someone local to trust with the care of our beloved girls!

What an amazing experience my pup had. Alekzandra provided the best services anyone could ask for. I was not expecting such top notch service at a last minute request. She was on time, messaged upon arrival, during visit and when leaving. If you’re looking for someone kind and trustworthy to look after your fur baby she is the one to book!

About: I’ve taken care of my childhood cat which developed diabetes & required daily medication, and two childhood dogs. I’ve also loved watching my friends animals & cuddling with them! I am a Registered Nurse, but would love to watch animals in my free time as a way to de-stress and start a side hustle! I will care for them like they are my own animals. I will walk them, feed them, administer medications if necessary, and stay with them.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from small to large I ran a dog walking business when I was younger and I loved it. Being an adult I’ve had the opportunity to train my own loving dogs and have helps many friends in the past tame their babies, truly a passion of mine, I think I’m a dog whisperer 😝 I currently am not working which makes my schedule wide open for all fur babies and parents! Very convenient for last minute plans or leaves I personally do not have a fenced yard, but I live very close to a safe and roomy dog park located on base. Which would the perfect for some fun time for a good majority, my house is all dog proof with plenty of toys and treats so we would return safely for a nap or some In house play time

About: I’ve been caring for pets of my own for about 20 years, and have recently started caring for other friends pets. I grew up on a dairy farm, and learned from a young age how to care for animals. I am currently working part time, and have some space to be flexible for this work. I am looking for great flexibility, as I have a full life. I will follow the instructions you leave for your pet, as I understand how sensitive some animals are to change and new people. I look to make your experience as worry free as possible.

Matt was great! Not only was he willing to pick up a job last minute, but he was flexible with a meet and greet, and did small things like grab the mail and turn off lights without being asked.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Watertown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Watertown on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 66 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
