About: Quiet, peaceful home where dogs stay close, feel safe, and enjoy personalized one-on-one care. 3 walks oer day. 3 potty breaks, clean bowls daily, freas filtered water. With decades of experience, I specialize in gentle handling, consistent routines, enrichment and fun, low stress stays for all breeds, especially for senior dogs and those with special care needs. Your dog will receive calm, confident attention while walking, individual attention, and a balance of playtime, quiet time, and restful naps. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make each stay calm, comfortable, and stress-free. I'm especially well-suited for calm, adult, and senior dogs who thrive in a peaceful home environment with consistent routines.

Dogs enjoy regular exercise, frequent potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of quiet time to relax in comfortable beds and peaceful spaces. Dogs quickly settle into my daily structure and routine. Holiday availability 🐾❤️ I’m available for boarding throughout Thanksgiving and the Christmas holiday season. I keep my bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, comfort, walks, and loving care. I may host up to two compatible dogs from different families at the same time. Any overlapping stays are discussed with each pet parent in advance to make sure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. 🐾 Your pup can settle in and relax in my clean, cozy, quiet home with a beautiful, tree-lined private backyard and two acres of wooded trails that dogs love to explore. I follow each dog’s routine closely and provide calm supervision, structure, rest, gentle enrichment, and individual care. My home is especially well suited for adult and senior dogs who thrive in a peaceful, low-stress environment. 🐾❤️
“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of my own for over 20 years. I also watched dogs in my home for over 2 years through Rover. I have recently sold my farm homestead and moved to a house where I no longer watch dogs, I am willing to dog-sit in your home if it is conducive to me staying there. I also can make drop-in visits to feed, walk, take potty, and give attention to your dog(s) and/or cat(s). Almost all of my reviews are from when I watched dogs in my home. Although I no longer provide that service, I plan to I work remotely on writing projects and am often working from Lebanon, TN. I am available to provide dog-care or cat-care in your home when I’m not traveling myself. I would be at your home as necessary to take care of the pets there, and work on my writing projects from your house. I no longer provide pet care in my home, but I still love dogs and cats and will continue to provide love and attention to your pets in your home with the same care, commitment, and compassion as I did in my home. I will do my best to keep to your pets’ schedule.
“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”

“Highly recommend!! We absolutely loved Jaiden! First time ever using Rover. We were apprehensive about having a stranger come stay at our home while we were out of town. Jaiden was a great communicator, came over to our house and spent some time meeting with us and our pets and came back one more time to get the key. Our dogs immediately loved him and we did too. Jaiden is a wonderful young man, and we will absolutely use him again.”


About: While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, caring for animals has always been something I’ve genuinely enjoyed.I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow care instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident while they’re away, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s needs. Schedule I’m currently a college student and attend classes during the mornings. Because I don’t have another job, I have a flexible schedule and am available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet’s care. How I Care for Pets As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal deserves patience, attention, and personalized care. I currently care for dogs, cats, and a rabbit, so I’m familiar with the different needs and routines each species requires. When caring for clients’ pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully because I know every pet has unique preferences and needs. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Priscilla watched our FIVE dogs while we were out of the country for a week. She stayed in our home and did an exceptional job. She was communicative, VERY clean (I think the house was cleaner than we left it), and most importantly, provided exceptional care for our dogs. This included caring for a dog in diapers, and 4 other seniors needing medication and more frequent bathroom breaks.”

“Taylor was awesome! We have a lottttt of pets and are so thankful she could watch them while we went to a family reunion. She kept me in the loop and at ease while we were away! Thanks Taylor!”

About: I have practically always had animals be apart of my life. I grew up with a stray cat who would become my own cat at a young age. And I would often take care of my grandmothers dog named Socks in both their old age. I once rescued a baby bird and even a baby deer more recently. I’ve looked after pets of family and friends and friends of family and friends. I currently own a cat named Chance, and my job for about 3 years is a dog daycare and board which also provides grooming services such as baths, nail trims, etc. I hold a huge spot in my heart for animals and I foresee myself always doing something with them. I work part time, so I typically have a lot of free time to explore other ventures. And with me also having the full weekend to myself, it would be great to spend that time taking care of pets. At the moment, I live with my parents and pet sitting there couldn’t happen given my mom is afraid of dogs, but if I were pet sitting in a clients home, I would be more than respectful and appreciative of the trust.
“Allie did a great job of watching our dogs while we were away. She was communicative and left our house looking great! She followed our instructions well, and I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future.”

About: Need a girl that can take care of your pets? I have 3 cats and 2 dogs, so I would love to take care of your babies! Will send pics for updates :) I’m currently working part time as a medical assistant! And I’m free on Tuesdays and Thursdays anytime, so just let me know what you want specifically for your pet🫶 I have treats if needed, I also have backpacks/carriers if needed. I usually take care of my boyfriends dog and try to let them out to go potty every hour and give them a treat after :)
“I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone who needs a pet sitter. I had no worries about my babies well being while under his care. He kept me updated on how they were doing and even included pictures of Pedy and Gianni. Our dog Pedy is 11 and has diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. It was such a relief that Brendan was experienced at injections. I want to thank Brendan for agreeing to watch our babies on such short notice after the other sitter we booked cancelled. I really hope Brendan is available next year when we go away to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.”

About: I’ve cared for a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I truly love them all. I’m the sitter who can keep up with high-energy pups, take your dog on long “hot girl walks,” and make sure they feel entertained, safe, and loved the whole time. I treat every pet like my own and I’m extremely reliable, attentive, and communicative. You can expect frequent updates and tons of cute photos so you always know how your fur baby is doing. I currently work part-time with flexible, rotating hours, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. I love taking both morning and nighttime walks, so exercise timing is never an issue. I’m very open to working around your pet’s routine, and I’m always happy to discuss what you need to make sure your dog or cat gets consistent, loving care. When I’m in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding schedules, medication, crate time, walking routes, and any house rules you set. I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I double-check everything before leaving. I keep your pet comfortable by sticking to what they know: their space, their toys, their habits. I offer plenty of love, attention, and play, and I’m very communicative so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. You can expect regular photo updates, honest check-ins, and the peace of mind that your home and your pet are being treated with the same care I’d give my own.
“Casey took care of our two dogs and cat for a week while we were traveling. She came to our house to meet the “boys” about a week before we left and all three of them took an instant liking to her! She stayed at our house so the boys could be in familiar surroundings and kept us in the loop with photos and texts while we were traveling so we could see what a good time they were having back at home. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again. It was a great experience for our boys and for us.”

About: I have taken care of animals in many forms for over 20 years. I have an acre of fenced-in yard with two dogs that are dog friendly, up to date on shots, and either spayed or neutered. ~ Your fur baby will enjoy their time playing with my dogs, or with me staying at your home and treating your home and your fur baby as one of my own. ~PSI Member and working on basic First Aid and Emergency Care for Animals. ~Willing to provide medications and injections to those babies in need. I work from home so your pet will get any amount of attention it needs. My husband is also a Rover approved sitter, so your fur baby will have someone with them at all times, for those rare times I need to run an errand. If I come to your home your pet will receive the same care and respect as work allows for flexibility to be there with them, giving them full attention. I have an acre fenced yard with outside toys as well as a drinking fountain and plenty of room inside for them to take naps and stay cool and dry on rainy days. We usually go out every 2-4 hours for potty breaks and play time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,803 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Watertown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Watertown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Watertown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
