About: I have been surrounded by animals especially dogs my whole life. I love animals, I have taken small animal care and vet science to expand my knowledge about animals. I have dog sat and taken care of my dogs ever since I could remember. I love taking dog on walks, playing fetch, and giving them all the attention they need. I am a club volleyball coach and currently a graduating senior at ETSU. I am a dog mom myself, so I understand the time comments and the attention they need. I would love to spend my time taking care and waking dogs anytime I can! I am always there for any needs my or other dogs may need. I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs so I can care for different types.
About: I have had many animals in the past and to me they have always been family so whether it's my own animal or yours I will love it and treat it as my own. I am looking for experience and people willing to allow me to work with their animals, because eventually I am wanting to open my own rescue or shelter. So if you could at least take me into consideration that would be greatly appreciated. Pet care fits into my routine because I am looking for a good paying job with a flexible schedule. Like I've said I love animals. I would be more than happy to spend a day with dogs. It's a dream of mine to open my own daycare and this is a huge step. I'm happy to say I can finally offer boarding and so much more. I'm currently working as a night shift kennel tech but I am changing jobs soon and I will have all the time in the world to care for care for your pets. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of running space. They are welcome to come and go as they please through the back door. I have a very friendly 10 month old Beagle and every other weekend we have our son. So no matter when your fur baby comes to stay with us they will always have some one to play with. Wether it's our dog, our son, my husband, or myself.
About: I’ve had at least two dogs my whole life. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic obedience reinforcement, and providing structured playtime to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I work a different job monday-wednesday and sometimes other random days. Other than that i’m usually free to watch your animals. I’m also pretty flexible! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health changes, and provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
“McKinley is great....a very nice young lady! I got to meet her for this first time and she met my kitty boo. She was very sensitive to both my quirky cat and me! I knew he (Seven) would be in good hands! I am very particular and McKinley is too! She feels like the perfect fit for us! Her experience shows, probably because she has several animals of her own (dogs and cat) and is a vet assistant. I'm looking forward to using her again. If you need someone who will "get it" with your pet, you need to reach out to her! Thank you McKinley!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and love on their pets. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. I’d love to care for your fur-babies anytime you’d like! I have a huge yard and a super friendly dog to keep your animal company. I am currently a stay at home mom so, not only do I have a pretty open schedule, I’d love the opportunity to earn a little extra income :) I provide attentive, personalized care whether I’m in my home or my client’s home. I always follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, litter box care, medications if needed, and plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection based on their personality.
About: I have 6 solid years of pet experience, though an abundant time spent around animals from a young age. I have first hand seen the love and care that animals need in order to thrive! I am also aware that trusting someone with your pet is HARD, though I am here to make the experience easy as possible. I prefer meet and greets before any service is confirmed, to ease any timidness! I have a very flexible schedule and am open regularly to tend to any needs or want you may need during a service. I am open to any requests upon approval and am willing to make extra time to exceed the needs or your animal. The safety and trust within the animal is number one priority on my end when it comes to your pet! So my sole focus would be to make your pet feel as safe as possible during the service time. I do not have access to a fenced in area, though I do enjoy campus, trail, and scenery walks. I do prefer during my service that animals are on a leash, unless fenced in area is available. If any of the above does not fit your needs, please give me more information on what you would like to be included and I would be happy to try to accomodate to those needs!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Abingdon 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Abingdon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
