About: I have experience with all animals from birds to cattle. I spent a few years in animal rehabilitation as well as cared for special needs animals. I grew up on my family farm caring for a variety of animals. I love them all with my whole heart. Day to day I am in school for Radiology and I’m looking for work that has more flexible hours and days to work with my schedule. I will do whatever your pet needs in your own home to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I will crate if you want but I will also snuggle them. I will play fetch and go on walks. I will even take them to the vet if you can’t because of work.
“Christy was wonderful! My cat Bean is a very shy girl, but Christy was attentive to her needs, always quick to respond to messages, and her care shone through those messages. I will absolutely reach out to her again if I am needing a sitter.”

About: I’ve watched neighbors pets as a young kid and have always loved meeting new animals. I think it’s important that the animals keep to a as normal schedule as possible to mimic every day life. I’m always around and can stay as long as required for your animals. I also have looked after family pets when family goes away. I understand strangers can be terrifying, but I’d love to be a friend or extended family for others pets, someone they can look forward to seeing in the day to know that they won’t be alone. Hi there my name is Brittany, I’m 28 years old and my pup is Mika, he’s 2! I’m new to the Tri Cities area and have been here for a little over a year. I was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness: gastroparesis, so obtaining a full time job has been difficult. I have been put on some medication that helps the majority of my issues, but I can’t manage a full time job, unfortunately. I’m available all days of the week and I’d love to be able to spend that time with your babies and give them the time they need to run around or just to give them some company since I have a lot of time on my hands. I grew up with dogs my whole life and have also been around cats that my grandmother has had. I have my one pup, Mika and my boyfriend has his two dogs. It’s been rough not being able to do much, but furry friends always make me smile and provide wonderful, uplifting energy to myself as well as to you I can imagine. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to be able to be there for your fur babies. I spend a lot of time with my pet, whether it’s taking them outside to run around in our fenced in yard, lounging on the couch with a movie, playing with toys and balls. My dog gets crated when I’m not around and for travel for his safety. I also have a dog car seat in my car for my dog or possibly your dog if they may fit. My dog is up to date on all his vaccinations and is neutered. He goes to Paws of Hope vet in Bluff City. I’m very knowledgeable in dachshund care, I grew up with them and have one of my own so I have ramps in my house and understand the safety they require for their backs.
“Savanah was fantastic! Will definitely be booking with her again if I am ever in need of someone to watch my pets. She took great care of them, always communicated, and took excellent care of my home as well. She is very trustworthy and I’ve truly had a great experience with her!!”

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. I pay attention to details, keep a clean and safe environment, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’m always happy to communicate and will send regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Olivia has been doing drop-in visits for my puppy for the past few months and has been amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes me feel at ease when I’m away. She always makes sure my puppy is well taken care of, gets plenty of attention, and keeps me updated during visits. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elizabethton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 77% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
