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.
“Extremely grateful to have Sabrina available to help us out on a holiday weekend. She was flexible and patient with our dogs and schedule. Our guys were clearly in good hands.”
“Amanda took awesome care of my cats and chickens! She went above and beyond and brought packages in and cleaned up after my pets. She also sent plenty of photos and a detailed review of each stay. I would definitely recommend Amanda!”
About: From young age I've been responsible for many types of animals. I have experience with dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, cows and calfs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, iguana, fish, frogs, turtles, salamanders, etc. I currently have one medium dog who lost his litter mate in December 2023. I'm a stay at home dog Mom. We both have lots of energy for walks and hikes. I live on a 1 mile dirt, seasonal, dead end road with lake frontage and massive yard for playing hide and seek in the trees and hunting squirrels. My dog is dog friendly, loves playmates. (No jealousy). In your home care would be provided to your pets as we would discuss with a meet & greet.
“Debbie was great with our two cats! We asked her to do drop in visits and she was very easy to work with. She is very communicative and provides great pictures of your fur babies. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had numerous dogs over the years, from rescue to purebred, ranging from 8 weeks old to adopting a rescue at 4 years old. I have worked with potty training my dog, to helping my rescue dog realize she's safe now and loved. Lucy is my dog I have now, she is a rescue and the sweetest dog I've had. I am happy to offer professional dog walking and drop-in services. I am currently available Monday-Fridays, morning and lunchtime walks, and all day on Saturdays. My dog walking and drop-in includes walking, spending time with your dog, making sure they have fresh water and food if they need to be fed. I like to meet with you and your dog before I start so they become familiar with me. During this meet and greet I can find out if there are specific needs (oral medications, puppy training, senior dog) you would like me to do while I’m there. I provide updates when I arrive and when I leave letting you know how they are doing. I look forward to meeting you and can be trusted to follow the instructions you provide for the best care and safety for your family dog.
About: Hello! Animals have been my passion since I was a little girl. I have worked at a dog daycare for 3 years and now am currently working as a Tech at a Veterinary Clinic now going on for 5 years! I am so lucky to be surrounded by animals everyday and always learning new things about each and every animal. I would love to pet sit your furry friend and hopefully become a new best friend for them too! If you are military, I have base access as well! I am available weekdays and weekends.I would also be available to watch your pet at your home if needed ! I would love to chat about any days you may need and we can work out something :) I am available to help out with feeding, walking, giving medications and or just hanging out with your fur baby. I am open to talking about any other things you may need !
About: While I didn’t grow up with animals, I have experience with cats and dogs. I am looking to further my experience by helping you out! I can check in, feed, walk and play with your animals as requested! I am currently a SAHM so I am free whenever to be able to check in on your pets and give them with the same level of care you provide while away. I can make sure your pet has fresh food and water and clean space to sleep/relax. I can walk or let your pet run freely in a fenced yard.
“Liz has been absolutely wonderful to both my cats and dogs on many different occasions! She treats them as her own and you can always count on her to be very thorough during her visits! She is very reliable and trustworthy! I will use her over and over and over again! HIGHLY recommend!”
About: I have a 13 year old shitzu yorkie who has been with me since I was 9 and I trained him myself. I have a roomy place with lots of places for individual areas. I currently am taking a break from work and have plenty of time to care for your furry friend as needed! Full time availability and plants of room in my schedule for any hour care. I have a dog who can keep your furry friend company but have enough room to separate them if your dog or cat likes their own space!
“Tiassa was fantastic, always arrived on time and took phenomenal care of my two cats. She went above and beyond and my cats immediately felt comfortable around her. Definitely will be using her services again next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, chickens ever since I was able to walk and talk! Ive always enjoyed spending time with them and taking care of them! Right now I'm in college doing online classes and I'm free pretty much all the time. being able to escape from home work for a little bit is always nice too. I'm very attentive with my pets making sure they always have what they need and then some. My dog and I go on at least two walks a day. I think its very important that our pets get treated with the best care possible.

Gabby is literally the best! We’re haven’t had someone to watch our monsters before but Gabby did a meet and greet prior to and was open with communication prior to and during the visit. Our pups can be skiddish when meeting someone new but they all warmed right up to Gabby. Lot of pictures and information for the visit and it really made us feel comfortable.
Eliza took such good care of our fur babies!! We came home to two happy fur babies. She handled our dog’s anxiety so well and our cat who is usually antisocial warmed to her so easily. They had plenty of water, and the house was left clean/vacuumed. She sent plenty of photos to help with being away from our fur babies. We plan to book her again when that day comes. Thank you Eliza!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Watertown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Watertown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Watertown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
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.
