Pet Sitting in Watertown

“We have two excitable dogs, but, even at the meet and greet, I knew they were in good and calming hands. Merlyn's check-ins with photos of her visits were phenomenal in letting us know how the dogs were doing while we were away.”

About: I’ve grown up with springer spaniels my whole life. I’ve hunted, run with, walked with, trained a little, and snuggled with dogs from birth to death. I’ve volunteered at humane societies, with experience walking and feeding the dogs of all age and sizes. I’m currently in college but am willing to walk or run with your animals in my free time. During the weekdays I am free in the morning before 7:30, 12:15 to 12:45, and after 5. During the weekends I am usually free all day, message me and I’ll explain my availability more! I’m determined to leave your home in the way I found it. I will play with your animals safely and without disturbing anything in the house. I will follow any medical or special needs that your animal requires. I avoid unsafe walking areas and make sure the animal is always secured. I understand that trusting your pet with someone is a big deal. I treat every dog as if it were my own and respect your home and instructions completely. I’m happy to provide updates through photos and messages so you know how your animal is doing. I am happy to adjust and adapt to each personality of each animal. I love staying active and am happy to run with dogs who enjoy exercise while also making sure they don’t over do it. If you have any questions about me or my availability please don’t be afraid to message me.

“I appreciate Emma so much! She sent pictures of my kitty and I will for sure ask for her again in the future!”

About: Welcome! I really love meeting new pets, getting to know their personalities and making sure your pet is 100% happy and comfortable. For the past four years on Rover—and more than 25 years caring for friends’ and family pets—I’ve learned one thing: every animal has their own personality, routines, and comforts. We can arrange a meeting with your pet(s) to make sure I get to know schedules, dispositions, allergies and other things I should be aware to provide full, loving care of your pet. I can provide care, attention, and of course plenty of love & treats. These Meet‑and‑Greets help me understand everything from feeding and meds to personality and play style. I offer day care and overnight stays at your home for pet(s). My schedule is flexible, but travel-season & holiday bookings can fill quickly—reserving early ensures your spot. I have a flexible schedule for the most part. Prefer after 11 am. any day of week for dtop-ins & available for house/dog/cat sitting at your location. Pets are part of the family Currently I cannot sit at the house I am renting. I can take dog or cat to a nearby park or walk your neighborhood. Flexible for your convenience.

“Stacy does a wonderful job with Trooper! She loves on him and sends regular updates! She’s great!”

“Outstanding Pet Care Service by Skylar! We recently had the pleasure of having Skylar look after our two cats while we were out of town, and she did an absolutely outstanding job! If we could give her a rating higher than 5 stars, we definitely would. Skylar not only fed our cats made sure they were safe, clean and happy, but she also played with and entertained them while practicing some their training routines. It was clear that all their needs were met with great care, love and attention. One of the highlights of her service was the tons of photos she sent us. These updates really helped us miss our furry friends a little less while we were away. We will definitely ask Skylar to watch our cats again in the future. Highly recommended!”

About: I have owned and/or watched all types of dogs since I was young. Friends and families would trust me to watch their dogs over long weekends or on vacations. I work from 8:00-5:00 Monday-Friday, but I do have a lunch break if necessary to check in on your pet! I have weekends off and willing to drive. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and cannot watch pets in my home. I would love to know your dogs habits and any special tips in order to make your pet as happy while you are away.

About: Have always had a love for animals. Cared for injured & ailing animals also. Helped deliver puppies, kittens, bottle fed, administered medication, cared for many animals . I am currently available full time. My schedule is pretty flexible right now. Would prefer to watch your pet in their home at this time. I have a Pet friendly home. I have a fully fenced in yard. Crates availabe if needed. Allowed on couches and bed. Goal to make your pet feel at home and safe.

About: I'm a lawyer with one puppy who is my best friend! There will always be tons of snuggles and games here! I love all dogs and have always enjoyed puppy sitting. I have a full job during the week, but when I'm home we play! If your dog is ok with short periods in the kennel while boarding, that is is preferable, but not necessary! I have one mini dachshund puppy one year old and he loves to play! I have a small unfenced yard for potty breaks, but we can go in walks or to the dog park if your baby likes to run!

About: From caring for family pets to helping friends, coworkers, and even strangers, I’ve built a strong reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter over the years. Dogs aren’t just animals to me — they’re family. I’ve personally owned five dogs, each with their own personalities and needs, and they truly are my best friends. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is simple: to make sure your best friend feels safe, loved, and cared for until you’re back home with them. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, sticking to their feeding routine, or giving them extra snuggles, I make sure they feel comfortable and happy in my care. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have medical needs — from seizures to chronic illnesses — so I’m confident administering medications, monitoring symptoms, and noticing even small changes in behavior. I pay close attention to detail, especially when it comes to safety. I’m always aware of what they might try to pick up off the ground or get into, and I take proactive steps to keep them protected. Your dog’s health, happiness, and routine will always be my top priority. When you hire me, you’re not just getting a pet sitter — you’re getting someone who will treat your dog like their own. I just recently moved to Watertown and am looking for something to keep me busy. I love animals and look forward to making sure they are loved while you are away! My schedule is free right now and I am available throughout the week! Keeping them busy with enrichment is important! I love to offer things they can do to stay active if that’s their style. If they are chill, we can be chill together, whatever best suits your animal!

“Molli was great! I loved all the updates and pictures she gave me of my pet so I knew he was being well taken care of :). She did everything I asked of and more. Will definitely be booking her in the future.”

About: I've spent decades as a dog dad, raising springer spaniels, golden labs, and black labs – all active, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also babysat a beagle every summer for years, so I'm comfortable with different energy levels and personalities. What sets me apart is my empathic approach and genuine understanding of what dogs need. I can read their body language and moods, whether they're anxious, playful, or just need a calm presence. Being retired means I have an open schedule and plenty of time for walks, play sessions, and just hanging out together – your dog won't be squeezed into a busy day. I know that every dog is an individual with their own quirks and routines, and I respect that. Your dog will get my full attention and the kind of care I've given my own pets for years. Being retired means pet care can be my daily routine! I have a completely open schedule with no other work commitments. My days are flexible and built around whatever your pet needs. The beauty of retirement is that I'm not trying to squeeze pet care into lunch breaks or evenings – I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve, whenever they need it. My priority is maintaining your pet's routine and keeping them safe and comfortable. Pets thrive on routine and familiarity. I'll stick to your pet's exact schedule – mealtimes, medications, favorite activities, where they like to sleep – so the only thing that changes is that you're not there. I'm empathic to how pets handle change, so I take time to let them adjust to me at their own pace. I'll treat your home like my home and send you updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have two fur babies, Tucker and Jax, so I truly understand how important trustworthy pet care is. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I work from home during the week until 4 p.m., so I’m mostly available Friday–Sunday. I can often be flexible on weekdays too, just reach out and I’ll do my best to make it work! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I make sure they feel secure in their own home and give them plenty of love, pets, and attention so they can relax while you’re away.

“Travis was excellent. A true dog lover. Our dogs are Leary of strangers but they both took to Travis immediately. Travis was very responsive, respectful, knowledgeable about animals, and also inquired about if there was anything we wanted done. Gave immediate updates with pictures. Walked the dogs played with them. Wonderful young man. Would definitely recommend Travis.”

About: I have always had dogs growing up in many sizes. With my most recent dog, i worked with him to get over his past abuse issues and was able to train him many other things! I am a first year student at Lake Area Technical College, and am studying agricultural. With this I have classes throughout the day with many in between breaks where I can tend to your pet! I will treat your house like mine and along with your pets. I will make sure your home looks the same if not better than when I arrive.

“Samantha took great care of my two cats who are not very used to strangers. They were well cared for and were very content when I returned. Absolutely zero complaints and I would highly recommend Samantha.”
