About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.

About: I've always had pets since I was a child, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets, caring for those of family and friends, and volunteering over the years. Currently, I work from home, and my hobbies include going to the gym, reading, driving to the park, working on my own business, and hiking. I would be more than happy to look after your pets while you are away! I genuinely enjoy taking care of pets and would love to spend time with yours. I appreciate long walks, giving pets gentle scratches, playing fetch repeatedly, and treating your pets as I would want my own to be treated. I work from home with a flexible schedule. In my remote role, I provide pet-sitting services, caring for your pets in your home as if they were my own. I guarantee that your pets will never be left alone for more than four hours at a time. For pets that are particularly attached to their owners, I understand that they cannot be left alone during my time taking care of them. I can stay with them 24/7. - Travel to customers’ homes to visit their pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and other animals. - Feed and provide fresh water to pets according to customer instructions regarding preparation, quantity, and timing. - Exercise pets through leashed walks and playtime activities. - Administer supplements and medications to pets, either mixed in food or by other appropriate means. - Collect and dispose of pet waste, which includes cleaning and refreshing kitty litter for cats, changing cage paper for birds, and picking up trash during dog walks. - Document pet care services with dates, times, and details clearly and professionally.

Nicole was very responsive and sent me lots of pet photos while I was away! She even included pictures of my cat who she was not being paid to take care of. She was very patient with my dog who tends to be scared of new people. I highly recommend Nicole!

About: I have experienced in not only cats and dogs but along with reptiles, birds, bunnies, and hammies! During my college years I also took up the responsibility in helping dog breakers take care of mamas in heat and afterwards with their pups. Including vet visits, feeding and keeping up with the litter. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I am always home. I’m currently taking a marketing course for the rest of spring/summertime. So I’m finding myself to have a lot of free time! Typically if I’m caring for a furry friend at my home I typically like to discuss with their owner if they are on a schedule and if they have any concerns so I can let their needs.

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by pets. My parents took care of dogs all throughout me growing up :) as well as me and my mom were constantly bringing home more (including a pig once😅) all animals are family to me and I take great pride in providing exceptional care to other peoples furbabies when they need me :) I currently have one dog and three cats who I love so dearly. I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am very flexible and can 99% of the time make things work to fit your pets needs!! Happy to be of service to you☺️ I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am enrolled in college and when classes are active I have a 1 hour long class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I spend most of my time cuddled up with my pets (and yours if there here ☺️) or im running around with my dog to burn off some of his energy😆 my schedule is very flexible and pet care will always fit into my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and gates throughout my home to separate areas where the dogs should not be or could get hurt. I do regular potty breaks every hour but if this needs to be adjusted due to your pets needs I can do that! I do morning and night feedings for my dog and cats but I can manage feeding your pet on their schedule as well :)

About: I have raised many different types of dogs for 15+ years. For the last 5 years, I have housed many different animals in need. I have trained puppies, as well as nervous, and abused dogs. I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Watkins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 2,048 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Watkins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Watkins. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Watkins.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watkins. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
