About: Empathetic and reliable pet caregiver with experience caring for puppies and dogs of all ages. I provide loving attention, playtime, walks, and gentle care to keep your pets happy and safe. I’m currently available in the evenings and on weekends. Friday through Sunday I’m open any hours. Evenings 4pm- 9pm are good times for me. As I gain more clients I will become open full time.

About: I am currently a pre-vet student with the hopes of becoming a veterinarian! I have many years of experience not only taking care of my pets but also caring for animals in a clinical setting. I currently attend classes for a few hours each day but would be able to spend the rest of my day on-site if needed! It’s best to enquire about your needs, but 99% of the time, I can make it work! I like to set up a file with my clients that lists essential numbers and contact information in the event of an emergency. I also will take every measure to make sure that your pet is safe by following proper diet protocols and administering medication safely. Lastly, I would treat your home as I would want my home to be treated, with cleanliness being an utmost priority.

About: I have always been the main pet care taker growing up. I got my own dog when I was an 8th grader and have raised/trained her since a puppy. I get a lot of compliments on how well behaved she is. I just finished graduate school and waiting for my certification before I can get a job. So I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment. I have two dogs at home already. One is purely outside, so I will play fetch with him and take him for long walks. The other is an inside dog, so I let her out about 3 times per day. She does accompany on my walks.

Very sweet and understanding of my fearful dog! She brought treats and got him comfortable with her before we left for the walk. Milo really like her even though he’s very fearful of people.

Ragan was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She walked her twice as far as I normally do to help burn off some extra energy. She sent pictures while on the walk showing me how the dog was doing. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

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.

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 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.

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.
