About: I’m a local mom of two boys and a lifelong animal lover, and I’d love to help care for your pets like they’re part of our family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet—whether it’s for a quick trip or a longer vacation—so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease. I provide dependable, calm, and attentive care, with lots of updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most days and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, and attention throughout the day, and I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I build it into my schedule so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m not overbooked, I’m able to give each pet my full attention and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I always tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest all follow their normal schedule. I spend quality time with each pet so they don’t feel rushed or alone, and I’m careful to keep the home clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.
“Kaitlin is fantastic! She’s been looking after Loki our GSD since he was 4 months and now checks in once a day when I’m at the office to give him lovin’s and take him on a walk. She is also incredibly knowledgeable and is a great resource for new pet parents!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 5 years now and have had pets all of my life. I can even give them their meds if needed. I work a 9-5 mon-fri job, but I am available any other time to take care of your fury babies. I’m available evenings, early mornings, and weekends I can work with dogs in the yard with a fence or no fence and I can feed and bathe them when needed. Also can give medications as well
“Jackie has been great! We’ve only used her for walks so far but she has always showed up on time and used at least the full half hour. Leo always seems well exercised when I get home! She feeds him his lunch as well. :)”
“Nicole is great and takes such wonderful care of my dogs!!!! My dogs are soo much happier and comfier when I get home from a long day at work after she walks them:)))”
About: I have taken care of my own 3 dogs since I was young and have dog sat for neighbors and friends multiple times over the last few years! I have cared for dogs of any breed and any age, as well as dogs with health concerns! I currently work Tuesday-Thursday 9am-11:30am and am open for just about the rest of the day! It is possible that I will have 2-3 hours of work at night but depends on co-workers schedules! I am very willing to walk and play with them or lay down and watch a movie on a tired day! I have cared for my own dogs and others, all with different personalities and energy, so I can make sure your dog is taken care of to the best of my abilities!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available at a variety of times, including daytime, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. As I pursue a future full-time Monday–Friday position, I plan to continue pet care with a strong focus on evening and weekend availability, while still offering additional flexibility when possible. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages! I can administer medicine, bathe them, feed them, walk them, and give them special care. I’ve been around animals since I was in my early teens. I have a pretty open schedule. As long as you let me know at least a day ahead, I can work with your schedule. I have another part-time job that is flexible. I have a crate for my puppy that I keep her in when I am not supervising her, or leave her with my family. My cat Bean is free to roam around.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since was 12! I used to check dogs in the neighborhood! I’ve even stayed at a house for two weeks taking care of two dogs one extremely geriatric. I am good with giving medication to dogs, getting them a daily walk, making sure they have frequent potty breaks, and a whole lot of belly rubs!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog every day. I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, medication, exercise, and routines. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for.
About: I've had a dog in my home since I was born, having 7 different dogs in my home over my lifetime. For the first time in 32 years, I have no dog in my home, because I'm living with my sister and can't get one of my very own, but I have lots of doggie love to share with your pups! Im currently unemployed and lost my most recent dog last year, I'm not quite ready to take the plunge and get a dog yet, but I miss having a pup around and have a lot of doggie loving to give. I promise to treat your dogs with the utmost care, and like they were a member of my own family. I'll keep them safe and happy until you can be reunited.

About: I got my first puppy when I was 14 and and I’ve taken great care of him and my other pets since then! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I know how to take care of them. I will walk, clean, or spend time with your dog anytime you’d like!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,390 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.

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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 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.
