“Joana provided excellent care to our cat while we were away from home for spring break. She always arrived on time, sent photos, and messages to check in. I was completely comfortable with her in my home and will absolutely use her services again in the future! Thank you again, Joana!”
“Julia was on time and was great with my dogs even working hard to get them out to potty in the pouring rain.She is very communicative and I will definitely be rebooking with her. Thanks Julia”
About: My dogs are like family and temporarily I would love for some others to be apart of ours as well! My dogs have a routine, walk play walk play. Tons of enrichment, tricks and treats Weekends I can be available anytime. Weekdays it would need to be more walks etc. but I promise they will still get the best care I do not have a fenced yard so at my home it would be walks. With my two little ones (10lb and 20lb) these walks are about 30 minutes each but with bigger dogs it would definitely be longer. At your home I’m willing to use the fenced in yard or walks as well! Each visit regardless of anything, will also be accompanied by fresh water, food if you wish to be placed, snuggles, and lots of patting I’m sure of it!
About: I have hands on experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every animal like my own, making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I have availability in the early mornings and evenings on the days I work, and I’m available throughout the entire day on my days off. I’m happy to work pet care into my routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Kelly took wonderful care of my two cats over the holidays. She was very professional and communicative, and the cats were clearly cared for and loved when we returned. With her background in vet med, I was very confident in her ability to care for my elderly cat and administer his medication, plus deal with his finicky food preferences, and she handled all of it wonderfully with no issues at all! I would recommend Kelly as a pet sitter to anyone looking. Thank you, Kelly!”
“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!”
“Our dogs love Dino! Dino was able to help us with 2 dropins on short notice and as always took fantastic care of our dogs. We are happily repeat customers and will gladly continue to reach out to Dino as needed. Happy, well cared for pups and a sitter they love”
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 6 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: I grew up with all sorts of pets from fish to hamsters, and horses. Dogs have always been my passion but I still have plenty of love to give to every animal. I routinely care for my own animals along with my sisters, as she vacations often. I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to my 1 year old son. My days are full of love and laughter with a lot of snacking and a few naps. I like to keep our weekends free for family time. During the week is all about fun and learning for both my son and our animals. I always keep extra kennels of all sizes and styles for clients so they don’t have to stress about bringing theirs along. We currently have a 20x10 fenced area for the dogs to have potty breaks. I can also set up run lines for those that prefer the extra security of a leash or they can be hand walked. We also have 3 acres of open unfenced land that well-trained dogs can have access to after trust is built. There is a separate room in our home specifically for the dogs, where they can relax unbothered for a nap or just some down time.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Watertown is €20

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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
