About: I have years of experience with loving pets of all different breeds and sizes! All of my life I have owned all sorts of pets (super experienced in loving doggos)! I have been a sitter for just homes, cats, dogs, even a stop in for lizards and bunnies! I am reliable and trustworthy, I enjoy sending the owners update pictures or videos of their pets relaxing or playing (optional). I know how heartbreaking it is to have to leave your pet alone and I can promise I will keep them busy, comfortable and loved while they are with me! I currently work from home in Lebanon, my time and availability can always be adjusted depending on the distance and time period. Weekends I am available for over nights or even just stop ins! I provide sitting at my home for pets that are okay with Cats. I have a nice quiet complex away from any main roads. Open to discussion if needed. :)
“Once again, Kaylee did an excellent job with our dogs and cats. She kept us updated every day with notes and photos, was proactive in her care, and kept our house tidy. All of our pets seemed super happy to see her in the photos she sent, which tells me that she took great care of them. I highly recommend Kaylee and will be using her services again.”
About: I make sure to show the animals all the love and attention they need! It is more to taking care of pets than just feeding and walking them! They need physical affection as well! I have two dogs myself so i’m very used to taking good care of animals 24/7. I want to do this full time so it would fit into my schedule very well! I make sure to take lots of time with my animals and i also make sure to keep a very close eye on certain animals!
“Sophie is wonderful! She is very organized, patient, and a great communicator. She took care of my 3 cats, all with different temperaments. She made sure they had food, water, treats, a clean litter box, and played with them. 10/10 would hire again and would reccomend.”
“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my bunny boy! We did a meet and greet a few days prior to my leaving date, and she was very excited and happy to watch my bunny boy! Both of us got along great. Hannah is very good with communicating to me anything about my bunny boy. Loved the pictures she took and the comments she left! Will be booking with Hannah in the future!”

“Esther has been doing drop-in visits for our Bichon since early 2024. She is so dependable, knowledgeable and kind to our Lucy, and I cannot sing her praises enough. We willl be moving but if we ever are back in the area and need a pet sitter, Esther will be the first person I call. Thankful for all her help.”
About: I prefer animals over humans. Have had pets all my life. From small dogs like a chihuahua to large dogs like a boxer. Very attentive. Work from home and available on weekends. Can care for your pet all day since i work from home. I also enjoy walks and will walk your pet. Home is pet friendly and safe for all pets. Your pet will be leashed on walks. Unsafe rooms will be gated off so that they can stay in sight.
About: Hi! I’m Karee (pronounced kuh-REE), and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old. Over the last few years on Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and it’s become one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I work full-time in employee benefits here in Nashville, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. I’m an active person who enjoys hiking, working out, and spending time outdoors. If your dog enjoys adventures and you’re comfortable with it, I’m always happy to bring them along on a hike or long walk when appropriate. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos throughout your pet’s stay. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your furry family member. My home has a secure, gated patio for fresh air and potty breaks, and I provide at least two walks each day. If I ever need to step out for an extended period, dogs are safely crated (if crate trained or requested by the owner), and I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Before each stay, I’d love to learn about your dog’s routine, personality, medications, favorite toys, and anything else that helps them feel at home. Every dog is different, and I believe great care starts with understanding what makes each one unique. Whether your pup is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. I look forward to meeting you both! I conduct most of my meetings from home so I can provide the flexibility and attention that your pet yearns for. I enjoy going for walks throughout the day to keep me energized, so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I ensure that each dog under my care gets walked a minimum of 2x each day during their stay. Needless to say, I treat my client's pets as if they were my own. Their happiness and safety will be one of my top priorities. If I need to be away for an extended period of time, I do prefer to keep my guests crated and play soothing music throughout the house to help combat separation anxiety.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Watertown is $39 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $46 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,050 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Watertown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watertown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
