“Lillie was so great with all my babies!! She went above & beyond. She kept me updated & sent pics. I’ve already booked her again & will continue to book her in the future! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes in my life since I was 2 yo, and I’ve trained multiple of them. I’ve also had pet rats, a gecko, fish, cats, and a brief horse phase. I used to want to be a zoo keeper but ended up becoming a social worker instead. However, I still maintain that great love for all animals and have the goal of integrating animals into my therapy practice once I’m licensed. I am willing to work with most types of pets, including the traditional “creepy” ones. Throughout the years, roommates, friends, and family members have trusted me to take care of their pets. Many people have even told me that their pet warmed up to me sooner than most. I like to think I have the kind of calming, kind energy that animals appreciate. I’d love to hang out with your furry/scaly friend sometime and help lessen your load! I’m between jobs at the moment, so I am very flexible as long as you give me a little heads up. My boyfriend lives in VA, so I’m sometimes there for a few days, usually every other weekend. But otherwise, I’m readily available and willing to work with you and your schedule. I have experience caring for dogs in homes in both urban and rural places and understand the risks involved with both. I always practice proper walking etiquette, making sure to provide ample space between other dogs/people. I do everything I can to ensure everyone’s safety. Before caring for your pet, I will ask for you to disclose anything about them that I should be aware of, which I’ll keep careful note of. I will maintain quick, open communication throughout our time working together and will provide regular updates.
“Danielle was incredible! Our Max has separation anxiety and can be a challenge. Danielle used her years of experience to recommend the best situation for all of us as we needed to go out of town for a night. She sent us pictures and updates several times during our time away. When we got home Max was so happy and you could tell he had been well taken care of. As pet owners, we are over the moon. Also, before Danielle, we did not feel comfortable with putting Max in boarding and it limited our ability to travel. We have a new found freedom and will definitely use Danielle again. She is highly recommended!”
“I am very happy with Louise staying with Toby. She spent a lot of time with him; was successful at getting my picky dog to eat. Louise sent me pictures and I was very comfortable with Louise. I would recommend her highly”
“We were very happy with Kylene services. She stayed in our home while we were away but left everything nice and tidy when she left. Our dog Daisy is an easy dog to take care of, but she asked lots of questions to make sure Daisy was getting the care we wanted for her. Kylene was also very responsive in responding to any questions we had and was very easy to work with. We would definitely use her again if the need arises! Thank you Kylene”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs. Puppies, kittens, and senior animals are welcome. I am familiar with basic first aid and am familiar with the body language of most dogs. I can easily serve the Johnson City, Jonesborough, and the greater Tri-Cities area. I have reliable transportation. I am also available on most federal holidays. I'm happy to provide photos delivered electronically for each visit. I am clean and you can trust that your pets and welfare of your home are my top priority.
“Grace stayed overnight with my 3 month old puppy. She spent the whole night with him, kept up with his feeding and potty schedule and my aparment was exactly how I left it when I got back. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet they love!”
“Highly recommend!! Natasha is responsible , thoughtful and easy to work with!! I appreciated that she stayed in communication with us while we were gone.”
“Devan did a great job taking care of my house and dogs! He is a caring young man and kept in touch while I was away, posting pictures of my boys. Some family members I was traveling with had an issue with the person who was supposed to be dropping in on their dog. I called Devan and he was willing to take their dog as well. They had her dropped off at my house and all three dogs were well cared for. I will not hesitate to ask Devan to care for my pets again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. From my neighbors to family members who have relied on me to walk, bathe and feed their pets I am currently working part time so I am very flexible with my hours and have a ton of open availability to care for your pets. I love to play with pets and I can crate your dog if necessary. I can also take your dog for as many walks as necessary.

About: Hi there, I'm new to Rover with the intent of building my online presence and expanding professionally, as I've worked in the Tri-cities via word of mouth for years and I do come with excellent references available upon request. I am an avid animal lover with a background that includes caring for cats, dogs, chickens, miniature horses, goats, pigs, emus, llamas, hampsters, gerbils, a macaw, fish and reptiles. I think that about covers it. I was a long time volunteer at Full Circle Farm Animal Sanctuary in Weaverville, NC where I gained extensive experience and learned a lot about animal needs, behaviors and personalities until the sanctuary relocated to Georgia after receiving a large gift of acreage to expand. Today, I primarily care for cats and dogs with cuddles, basic needs, walking, administration of medications, etc. Hours can vary and I work with the client to tailor to specific needs. I always practice proper leashing when walking, if that is a need of the client, and follow protocols and preferences set by and agreed upon to insure your furry loved one(s) receive care that exceeds your expectations while you are away. I will be in tune with and alert to any signs of distress and would be in contact with you if any such situation were to arise. I have had three elderly dogs of my own and am quite sensitive, especially, to the needs of senior dogs. I work part time, make my own schedule and have all the flexibility needed to devote to caring for animals, including day sitting and overnight stays. I care for pets specifically in clients' home. I do not board clients' animals in my home. I offer extensive and shorter overnight stays and I offer drop ins for potty breaks, feeding, walking, cleaning litter box, cuddles or day sitting.
About: I have cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies to senior dogs. That means house training, vet visits, proper vaccinations and nutrition. I also work at a professional kennel where I train puppies on basic obedience and care for the adult dogs. I am familiar with the medications for aging pets and the methods available to treat many illnesses. Dogs are treated and cared for just like family members in my home, because they are my family and I understand most people feel the same. I have cared for dogs with terminal illnesses before and given oral medications for many illnesses as well as flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits every day through the week for limited hours and anytime on the weekends. I can play games like fetch as well as provide other fun enrichment activities.
“Hailey was awesome. Great communication and great with my dogs.”
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.
“Jorja was great, let me know Toby wasn't eating and I gave her suggestions. vacuumed, was very nice, communicated any concerns.”
“Miranda did an amazing job. She communicated extremely well with us the entire time. She took care of our dogs so well that they pouted when she left, lol. Our house was left exactly how she received it. She even watered my outdoor potted plants for me which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her to anybody wanting an extremely positive experience with a dog/house sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for my personal and family pets for as long as I can remember. In 2017, I left my corporate career to start working as a Veterinary Assistant. Caring for dogs and cats is my passion. I will love and care for your pet like they are my own. My years of experience as a veterinary assistant uniquely equips me to administer medications if needed, care for senior pets or pets with disabilities/chronic illnesses, and to respond quickly if your fur-baby needs medical care. I look forward to meeting you and fur-babies. I currently work part-time from home and occasionally work as a substitute for the special education class at our local elementary school. My schedule is flexible which allows me to properly care for your fur-baby while you’re away. I will care for you fur-baby like they are my own. Any instructions you provide will be followed to the letter. I can ensure your pet will be loved, cared for, and played with while you are away.

She gave him so much love and care and took care of him every hour of the day, truly giving him a new lease on life. She is very active with her dogs and is always taking them on long walks and hikes, and car rides. You can tell that she loves her pets with all her heart and I know you would never have to worry about your pet's care if you have Megan looking after them. She will love them like they are her own!”
