About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Holly took wonderful care of my German Shepherd, Nicolai, for the week. She kept me updated every day with pictures and details of their walking routes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nicolai looked incredibly happy and well cared for in every update. It’s clear Holly genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog walker! I look forward to rebooking Holly in the very near future. Hugs I appreciate you.”


About: I've cared for dogs for years, including my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. Through that experience, I've learned how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply giving them the attention and affection they need. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and secure while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and love that I give my own. I'm currently in college, but I only have three classes this semester. Therefore, I will have more time to play with your pup! I'm available to board on weekends and most weekdays. The only times I will be out are Tuesdays and Thursdays before 2 pm and Wednesdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard to play outside in and your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a calm, loving environment. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also make sure pets are always supervised during walks, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to their behavior to ensure they're happy and healthy. I'll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.
“James has been a wonderful Dog Walker for my spaniel and I highly recommend him. James has a very flexible schedule and is an excellent and prompt communicator. He has been very accommodating, and extremely helpful with my last-minute requests. In addition to taking excellent care of my dog, he also brings in heavy unexpected packages without being asked. I will definitely use James in the future.”

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 Watsonville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Watsonville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Watsonville. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
