About: I think what might set me apart from other sitters is that I’ve taken care of señor issues like weak bladder and standing issues. I’ve also have trained the basic with puppies. I have worked at a pet store and have helped take care of dog and many different types of animals! I also was a nutritional specialist at my previous job and respect exactly what you want your dog to eat and snack on. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I make time for it including taking care of my own puppy! I also enjoy being outside and take time out of the day to go on walks with puppies or occasionally cats! The way I care for pets in my clients home will be following everything that my clients and I talk about for the care of their fur baby! I love showing as much attention and care to dogs and other animals as I possibly can!
“Dymen was so great with both of my dogs when I had to go out of town for a couple of days! She responded promptly, gave me updates, sent lots of pictures, and treated them wonderfully. They loved hanging out with her, and it was so nice to have the peace of mind they were being taken care of in my absence. I will definitely use her when I go out of town again. Thanks so much Dymen!”
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.
“Dana did an excellent job caring for our cat while we were traveling. It was great to receive updates and pictures each day so we know that he was doing okay. Dana was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on anything going on and what our cat was up to on each of her visits. We will definitely be booking with Dana again!”
“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!”
“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: I have taken care of my pitbull Luna for 4 years now who happens to be a rescue. She is reactive to strangers coming into the home and to sudden movements. She was abused as a puppy and I had no warning regarding that. I got her trained with professional help and she is at a much better place. Needless to say I am a big believer that all pets deserve unconditional love and care. I would love to do right by yours however you may need! At your service whenever you need! I love making sure my clients needs are met and to make sure their fur babies are taken care of. I make sure I take all available precautions when walking my dog and playing with my dog. Making sure there aren’t any possible triggers around and if there are, putting safeties in place to deter any disaster from happening.
About: I’ve had at least one dog since I was a teenager. Raised them from puppies until seniors, making sure they were well loved and cared for. I’m currently working on but can be flexible to provide excellent care for your pet. The comfort and care of your pet will be my first priority. Having numerous pets, I know how important it is for them to maintain their routine in their own environment. Your pets will be cared for just like when you are there.
“Chelsey did a phenomenal Job with Zeus and went above and beyond for him when he got sick while I was away. I will definitely be requesting Chelsey as my go to sitter whenever possible. Thank you Chelsey!”
About: I worked on a farm when I was in high school where I worked with horses, goats, cats, dogs, and so much more! I’ve also worked as a kennel tech at Sit Means Sit dog training for 4 years. No matter how big or small, I can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently in school and looking for a side hustle to keep busy throughout the day as I finish my last online classes! I’m free all week! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always make sure they receive attentive, loving care. I will follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care.
“Jasmine took amazing care of my cat Deadpool! She was super sweet, followed all the care instructions I provided, and sent me great update photos throughout. Communication was quick and easy, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals in my life since I was born and my mom worked at a Vet Clinic for 13 years so I’ve seen my fair share of all sorts of breeds! From little Pugs to giant Cane Corsos! I’m up for anything and happy to help in anyway I can! I am usually free throughout the week especially with a heads up I should have no problems being able to help you out with whatever needs to be done! And I’ll be happy doing it! I have a dog named Motley who is 4 years old! She’s a mutt but we love her so much and she gets along well with other animals. Sometimes she’s a bit excited with new people/ animals but she is crate trained and potty trained so shouldn’t be a problem!
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 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.

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.

Gabby was so amazing with my dogs. She took a such great care of them even teaching tricks. And the photos were amazing she got! Better than any I’ve ever taken. She wrote me the best notes each day of my pups too and it truly was as if I was there with them; she treated them like her own.
Jillian was incredible. Absolutely stellar in remembering all the directions I rambled through and left great notes/pictures for me after each visit. Jillian is so friendly, Houdini and I both LOVED her!! Highly recommend, will be using Jillian’s services for the foreseeable future. Thank you!!
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.
