“Danielle was prompt and communicative and understanding when we had to come home early. I will ask her first every. single. time I need someone. Courteous and professional.”
“Definitely all 5 stars for Lissette! She stayed in our home with our two dogs for a few days, and we could not have been happier. Lissette is a delight. Conscientious, enthusiastic, and showed lots of love to our pets. She went above and beyond with lots of walks in the neighborhood, lots of playtime in the backyard, and caring for our home. Great communication, too. A real superstar!”
“Nathan was great! He house sat our mini Aussie for a weekend while we were out of state and went on multiple walks and was great with him! Highly recommend if you have a high energy dog!”
“Dieira has been amazing and our Izzy just adores her, she has stayed in our home do 2 plus weeks with no issues and checked in with sweet pictures regularly. We will definitely use her services again ☺️”
“Kailyn was so professional and communicative. She takes her job seriously and it shows. My babies were healthy and happy when I returned from my trip, and that’s everything! I came home to my house in order, and a darling personal note from her with little photos of my dogs attached. Best experience I’ve had with a Rover sitter. Peace of mind is something you can’t put a price on!”
“My fiancée and I feel like we’ve hit the jackpot after adding Abi to our lives! She came to our home before our trip to meet us and our girls, ask plenty of questions, and see how the dogs responded to her presence. She is warm and patient, and even our super anxious/epileptic dog took to her quickly (a rare occurrence). She was meticulous in reviewing our care instructions for our needy crew (two dogs on several meds). She texted us pictures while we were away, asked follow up questions, and truly put our minds at ease seeing how much she cared for our girls. We can’t thank her enough for the ways she impressed us, and hope to have her return soon!”
“Ashley was great! She let me know when she arrived and how Buster greeted her. She kept Buster company for several hours during my longer than usual work day— preventing him from getting too anxious about being alone. You can tell Ashley is a true animal lover as well as being very conscientious and reliable. Will definitely reach out to her again for dog sitting!”
“Dakota once again took great care of our Gretzky, who has lots of dietary and medication needs. We will absolutely be using Dakota from here on out!”
About: I have taken care of and owned many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I currently have a cat. I enjoy playing with and helping to nurture the wellbeing of animals. I leave work for lunch to go home and play wirh my cat. I dont like leaving him alone for long. I spend hrs every day with my cat. I make sure all bowls are cleaned between meals and clean water. Spend quality time walking and/or playing with pets. Make sure they have toys and bedding is clean and soft for them.
About: I’ve grownup with family dogs my whole life. When I was 13 I started a small dog walking business around my neighborhood. When I was 16 I got my own dog who became my best friend. When I was 18 I did an internship at a dog boarding place. I’ve had experience with all kinds of doggy personalities and can’t wait to get to know your pup! I have my own pitbull mixed dog named Coco who I care for daily. We go on adventures outside and spend a lot of time cuddling. She is the most important thing to me in the world. I care deeply for animals and I take the time to get to know each animal individually because making them feel loved and safe is my main goal. I am able to bathe, give medication, etc.. if needed. I am very comfortable with all aspects of dog care.
About: I've been around pets my entire life and have always grown up in a home with multiple dogs and cats alike. Whenever I'm home, I'm the primary caregiver, helping with feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, grooming, and making sure they're happy and comfortable. I've also cared for friends' dogs and cats through drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays while they were away. As a college athlete, I know how important consistency and responsibility are, and I'll care for your dog with the same attention and love I give my own. I'm currently a full-time student completing my coursework online while training as a collegiate swimmer and track athlete. My practice schedule varies throughout the year, but outside of practice I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care. I always communicate my availability clearly and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When I'm with your pet, they'll receive my full attention and plenty of exercise, affection, and care. At this time I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable and can stay in their normal routines. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any house rules you provide. I treat every home with respect, send regular updates and photos, and always make your pet's safety and well-being my top priority.
About: New to Rover, but experienced 5-star house sitters on TrustedHousesitters. My husband Mikhail and I are a married couple based in Charlottesville. I teach high school math online, and Mikhail holds a PhD in Materials Science. We have flexible schedules and spend much of our time at home, which means pets in our care receive plenty of companionship, attention, and consistency throughout the day. Over the past year, we have completed successful house sits in multiple cities, caring for both cats and dogs while homeowners traveled. We have received wonderful reviews for our reliability, communication, and the care we provide to pets and homes. We are happy to share screenshots of our TrustedHousesitters reviews and references. One thing previous hosts often mention is how much attention we give their pets. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a cat who wants to sit on a lap all afternoon, a playful kitten who wants constant company, or a dog who loves walks and outdoor adventures, we adapt to their needs. We also understand that owners miss their pets while traveling. That’s why we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. We treat every home with the same care and respect we would want for our own, and our goal is simple: to make your time away completely worry-free. I teach high school math online and currently have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer. My husband, Mikhail, is currently focusing on pet sitting full-time. Because of this, there is almost always someone at home to provide companionship, attention, walks, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. We are able to easily accommodate feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication schedules, and other pet-specific needs. Pets in our care are rarely left alone for extended periods of time. For house sitting, we believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own home and maintain their normal routine. We take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and personality so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. We follow feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. We spend a lot of time at home, so pets receive plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We also understand how important communication is while you’re away. We provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing and enjoy your trip with peace of mind. In addition to caring for pets, we treat every home with respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and well maintained while its owners are away.
“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”
“Emil was very accommodating and kind. He communicates very well. Our dog, Zeus, did very well at his home. He seemed to like Emil and had no issues. Thanks again for being available on short notice!”
“Sterling was amazing with my two dogs—my Border Collie and my Mini Aussie. She totally understood their personalities and made sure they got plenty of playtime, love, and attention. I got regular updates and came home to two very happy pups. You can tell she genuinely cares, and I’d trust her to watch them again in a heartbeat.”
“Zach took wonderful care of our home and dog while we were out of town. Harlow was spoiled with so many snuggles and quality time. We hope to have him stay again in the future. Thank you, Zach!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. My pets are like my children, and I will care for your pets the same way. I will give your pets a lot of attention by playing with them, petting them, and giving them cuddles. I will follow the owner's instructions on feeding your pet, clean up after them, and can administer meds as needed. I am available for drop-ins and dog walking three times a day. I am available for overnight care. I am a homemaker and available during the day, evening, and overnight. I have a flexible schedule. I am not able to board pets in my home at this time. I can do drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I will care for your pets like my own. I will keep them safe. You can depend on me to treat your pets well. I look forward to caring for your pet. If I am staying in your home, I will keep your home tidy and clean.
“Wow, Tracy was an amazing pet and house sitter! We received precise and regular updates on our doggie and felt super comfortable and confident having Tracy in our home. Tracy also gave him lots of walks and loads of attention. We felt like our dog was in excellent hands.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watts
Amaris was fantastic! She connected with our pets immediately, proactively communicated with us before, during, and after our trip, and took such great care of our babies. As pet parents, our separation anxiety is way worse than our pets’, but with Amaris taking care of everything we were able to completely relax and enjoy our trip. Highly recommend!
I was in a pinch – the pet sitter I had booked nearly 2 months before my trip canceled just two weeks before, and even though Kenny had some very important personal issues to take care of, he still stepped up and helped cover for two days. He took great care of Otis the dog and my cute little old kitty, Tommy. Would definitely hire him again! Easy communication – always texts back quickly. Great guy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Watts on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Watts 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 Watts 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 Watts 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
