House Sitting Dogtown

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was 8 years old, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have experience caring for both my own pets and the pets of friends and neighbors, including dogs ranging from 5 to 65 pounds. I’m comfortable working with senior pets, anxious pets, and different personalities, always making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care, walks, playtime, companionship, and comfort for pets. I currently provide care only in clients’ homes, following each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and special instructions to keep them comfortable, safe, stress-free daily

“Christie was the absolute best dog sitter. She arranged a meet and greet before our trip. She texted when she was on her way to confirm her arrival. I received daily pictures and check ins and my house was left in perfect condition. She even washed dog textiles before we arrived home. Plus a last minute illness for one of our pups was no problem. She administered meds like the professional she is. We will use her again.”

About: What sets me apart from other Rover sitters is my specialized experience in both puppy training and senior pet care. I am skilled in positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring that young dogs develop good habits early on. Additionally, I provide compassionate, attentive care tailored to senior pets’ unique needs, including administering medications and supporting mobility. My dedication to personalized, loving attention ensures every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I’m currently working part-time remotely , so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! Right now I’m available 24/7 because I am saving to having a child! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure their comfort, safety, and well-being. I maintain feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, and engage in playtime and exercise. I respect the pets' routines, offer companionship, and keep their environment clean. I communicate regularly with clients, updating them on their pets’ health and behavior, ensuring peace of mind while they're away.

“Thomas did a great job with Jojo. She instantly took to him and they bonded quickly. Thomas had a great level of communication and definitely made sure my little girl was taken care of.”

“Deanna had great communication with us. She sent pictures as well as update updates. She spent time with all animals and she left the house clean. I would love to have her sit with dogs again.”

“Kyleigh took care of our post-op senior dogs over several days, and everything was wonderful. She gave them meds, removed the cones for meal time, and made sure they were snuggled and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and respectful caregiver. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.

About: I have cared for pets of all ages over the years and adopted a pup of my own about two years ago. He’s up to date on all vaccinations and loves other dogs. I have experience with giving medications to animals, caring for both puppies and older pups, and my apartment is hardwood floors so accidents aren’t a problem! I am a graduate assistant and in grad school. This means that I word pretty weird hours and I do a lot of work remotely. I’m home anywhere between 8 hours to 24 hours a day and can rearrange my schedule depending on the needs of the animal. There is a dog park nearby and it’s a safe area. For my pup, and pups I’ve boarded/cared for before, I traditionally feed them in the AM and give them plenty of water. We go to the dog park to start the day and get the energy out. I make sure to leave dog-safe toys on the floor so they know they have stuff to play with and I dog proof the apartment before I leave each time so they don’t get into things they shouldn’t. We go out later in the day to the dog park again to socialize or get the zoomies going. We go back and have a little more food or a snack and then hang out before going out on a walk to end the day. I'm working full-time in ministry so I have lots of time throughout the day to care for your loved one and will be gone no more than a few hours per evening for bible studies and groups. I take my dog, Tonka, out 5-6 times per day minimum and we love to go on walks and be outdoors. I have a large field directly behind my apartment and live in a very pet-friendly area tucked off the main road so your pup will enjoy lots of safe and supervised outside time! I allow animals on the furniture and keep all choking hazards up high. My dog has a knack for finding even the smallest things to mess with so I have good practice with keeping a safe home.

“Hailey was exceptional!! She was on time, communicative, and extremely respectful. She sent me updates and pictures of my fur baby. I definitely would highly recommend her.”

About: Ive had pets my entire life, from amphibians to cats and dogs and even a crow. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats, and have always seemed to get along with even the most temperamental of fur babies. I trained my puppy calla from the time she was just a few weeks old, and now shes over a year. I did pet sitting in middle and high school, and even a couple over night sits. I will be absolutely sure to make your fur babies feel safe and cared for in your absence. I currently have 2 part time jobs, one of which I only work weekends and Wednesdays from 10-5:30. The other is a catering job, so I only work when I'm needed, and the shifts are typically around just 3 hours. I am a student at ETSU, but May through August will be much more open for me to spend time with your animals. Starting in June, my puppy will be living with me in my apartment, and I will be able to crate her and / or your animal if needed. She does get along with smaller dogs and cats as well. The apartment complex has a designated dog park. However, Im much more suited for visiting your home where your animals needs can be met more comfortably and walks as well. I do hourly walks for my own puppy, and let my cat out in our meshed in porch at my moms house

“She did a good job. I would get her again.”

About: Hello, I'm Taylor! I've been looking after animals for quite some time. I have two dogs, and one cat. I've had my cat for over 8 years! I even boarded a family members dog at my home for weeks at a time while they were away. So, in short: I'm not exactly new to taking the best care of all of your pets needs. Animals are kind of like a therapy for me, so I assure I'll take the exact same measures you would, except MAYBE a few more head pats in between. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I am a student, so I'm home most of the day. If you have something last minute, I can usually accommodate that. However, it’s best to let me know at least 12 hours in advance if you are a new client. I do not offer care in my home, as I have two dogs of my own. However, when coming to your home, I am very particular about following your directions. I will make sure to ask about these beforehand so that you are 100% certain that your pet is taken care of.
