“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.”

“I cannot say enough how amazing Allison was in her home visits for my pup. She was communicative, respectful, of my house during her stays overnight, and responsible. She went above and beyond and will happily seek her services in the future!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for about 4 years, so I’m used to the day-to-day stuff—walks, feeding, keeping a routine, and just paying attention to how they’re doing. I have a large fenced yard at my house so your dog will have a lot of room to play with! I’ve also watched pets for friends and family here and there. I’m pretty laid back, but I take instructions seriously and make sure pets are comfortable and taken care of. Happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play a lot or just chill, I can match their vibe. I’m a homemaker, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and a lot of availability during the day and evenings. I also have reliable transportation, so I can be consistent and on time. I take pet care seriously and make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible.

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 consider my dogs my own children and would treat any animal with the same regard! Pet care is my job!

I'm passionate about keeping pets comfortable during their stay, so I adapt to their environment and respect their space.
“Our dog felt safe and loved thanks to Jeanie's patience and care, making a stressful few days completely worry-free. We have a very nervous, "delicate" little dog, and we were worried how she would do with a sitter she didnt really know, but Jeanie did a really great job! She was incredibly attentive to Lucy's needs, taking the time to understand her anxieties. Her communication was excellent, she sent regular updates and photos that was reassuring every step of the way. It was clear that she has a genuine love and understanding for animals, and she went above and beyond to make sure lucy was happy and secure. We cannot recommend Jeanie more highly, she is professional, kind and dedicated. If you're looking for someone to treat your pet like family, Jeanie is the perfect choice!”

About: I’ve spent the past 6 years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors! I’ve cared for households with as many as 16 dogs at once, including a litter of newborn puppies, and have experience with multiple-pet households, administering medications, and extended overnight stays. I’ve also built lasting relationships with several families I’ve pet-sat for over the years, which is one of my favorite parts of what I do! But beyond the experience, I genuinely LOVE getting to know each animal. Whether your pup loves hiking, playing fetch, learning tricks, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I want to make sure they’re getting more than just the basics. I don’t just fit your pets into my schedule. I make them part of my day! 🐾 With two dogs and four cats of my own, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m very familiar with early morning potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and everything else that comes with having pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines and adjusting my day around each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important consistency is, especially when their owners are away, and I always do my best to keep their daily routines as familiar and comfortable as possible. Pet care isn’t something I just squeeze into my day. I make it my focus! ‼️A Little Note About Pricing! ‼️ I genuinely love what I do, and I understand that every pet and household has different needs! While I do have my standard rates listed, I’m always happy to discuss pricing and see what works best for YOU! My biggest priority is making sure your pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! ❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I know how stressful it can be for animals when their owners are away, which is why I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re surrounded by familiar smells, routines, and favorite places. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. Whether that means recognizing when they’re anxious, giving them space, or offering a little extra attention, I want them to feel safe and comfortable with me. I believe great pet care goes beyond simply following a list of instructions. Of course, I’ll make sure every need is met, but I also make an intentional effort to give your pets genuine companionship, affection, and enrichment throughout our time together. I want them to feel loved, not just looked after! I have experience administering medications, preparing homemade meals according to owners’ instructions, caring for senior dogs and puppies, and managing multi-pet households. I always follow your feeding schedules, house rules, and specific care instructions. I also treat your home with respect! With your permission, I’m happy to help with light tidying or small household tasks while you’re away. And of course, I love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands! ❤️

Your pets safety and health and your peace of mind is my top priority. Anything that I am capable of doing to help you and your pet I will I have very flexible availability this summer. My optimal time for check ins would be in the morning and early evenings. I am willing to work with what works best for your pet. I can give any required medication or supplements. I will spend my time playing or cuddling with your pet. I will play fetch with your dog if you have a fenced in yard and walk leash trained dogs. If you have a cat I will play with them or cuddle them, or just enjoy their company. Different pets have different needs and preferences for affection and play, I will follow their lead and not push them or make them uncomfortable. When introducing myself I will go slowly and let your pet guide that interaction. I speak to animals kindly and softly and handle and pet them gently.
“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for four dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently have an 8-year-old mutt named Tucker who is incredibly sweet. Tucker previously went through heartworm treatment, so I have experience following medication schedules and giving medication as directed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’ve also owned and cared for parrots, iguanas, lizards, hamsters, and many other animals. I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet like one of my own. I’m currently in college and only have about three hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout most of the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. My apartment is very pet-friendly and comfortable, with plenty of places for dogs to relax. I even have a couch specifically for dogs, along with a dog bed and other cozy spots throughout the apartment. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you provide.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, learning firsthand what it takes to give animals the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve helped my grandma care for a household of five or more pets, often eight or more at a time! My experience includes caring for senior dogs, administering medications as needed, and helping look after dogs with diabetes and other special care requirements. I’m also a proud cat parent to Smokie and Charlie, and I look after Daisy, a friendly outdoor stray who has become part of my life. Caring for my own cats has taught me how important it is to understand each animal’s unique personality, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I’m familiar with the responsibilities that come with caring for more than one pet, including animals who need extra attention, patience, or a consistent routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to take the time to earn their trust and make them feel at home. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own, because I know they’re family, not just animals. ❤️ I currently have open availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, allowing me to be flexible with your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular dog walks, drop-in visits for feeding and playtime, or someone to keep your dog company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I’m building my own local pet care business, so providing dependable, attentive care and building lasting relationships with pets and their owners is my priority! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I grew up caring for cats and dogs in a multi-pet household and have experience helping with senior dogs and pets requiring medication and extra attention. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in your home. I don’t offer boarding, so your pets can remain in their familiar environment while receiving loving, attentive care. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!

Mindy was so sweet and mindful of our animals, house, and plants! She sent updates and pictures while were gone, which was awesome because our pets can be a bit timid and also very mopey while we are gone. Mindy did such a great job with them though and I did not worry her caring for them. Thanks you so much Mindy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 269 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elizabethton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Elizabethton 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 Elizabethton 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 Elizabethton 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 , 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 .
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
