About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.
About: I’ve been pet sitting alone for about 8 years now! Friends, neighbors, and other folks have relied on me to feed and walk their pets as well as house sit. I’ve worked with cats, dogs, almost all domestic farm species, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. I’ve just graduated UVM with an Animal Science degree, where I’ve taken helpful classes such as Intro To Exotic Pet Care class and Canine Behavior where I trained local shelter dogs. Through my studies, I’ve learned about nutrition, anatomy, welfare, husbandry, and diseases/ailments for many species. I’ve worked with a lot of senior animals who have a variety of backgrounds at a farm sanctuary, so I’m comfortable working with pets with special needs. I’ve also been working as an ICH Tech at an equine clinic so I am comfortable with medications such as injections as well. I love talking about my experience and am happy to answer any questions people may have! I love going for walks and hiking! The outdoors are so beautiful and even more lovely when you get to share them with a pet. Early morning walks are my personal favorite. Pet visits also work well in my schedule. I don't mind stopping by to let a pet out, feed, clean, and provide enrichment. I love reading and am happy to hang out with pets outside while I do so. Clear communication and meeting the needs of the client are the most important pieces to pet care to me. I like to take notes about expectations and routines, such as feeding or play time, that way I can provide pets with the most consistency and familiarity I can. I like to update folks about their pets by sending photos and messages. And I keep my phone nearby with notifications on throughout my time so that I am available if folks have any questions, concerns, or are just missing their pet and would like a picture!
About: I have extensive experience pet sitting for friends in the past, including feeding, letting out/walking, and sometimes onboarding their pet during their travels. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies :)! I am available mornings before work and evenings, with possibility to drop by during the day for a quick check in. I can be reached easily in case of emergencies as I check my phone often. In my own home, I offer your pet a safe, separate room aside from my other pets so that they can get their bearings without too much excitement. Ideally, a piece of home for them to smell like a toy or a blanket they enjoy. My cats are quite friendly, especially with other cats, and can be introduced slowly if your pet shows interest. In your home, I make sure your cat is comfortable with me being in the room with them. I keep my distance otherwise but a careful eye on them to make sure they are still eating and healthy until your return, and try to offer them a treat/toy they like to gain their affection and trust.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I love animals of all kinds and as a pet owner know how important pets are to the family and how stressful it can be when being away from them! I work remotely full time 7:30-3:00pm (End of August-mid June). I have time for short breaks/walks for pets during these working hours and evenings after work for lots of play time, walks, etc. (***I work on-site from July 6-August 14, so day time drop-ins and house sitting may be difficult depending on pet needs Monday-Friday***). I will follow your schedule and routines as you would if you were home with your pets to the best of my ability. I like to know what your typical schedule and pets needs are.

“This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and it was a wonderful experience. From the meet-and-greet, we felt she was a perfect match. She followed our instructions carefully and sent daily updates. We are extremely pleased with her care and will definitely contact her again for any future pet sitting.”

About: With over 5 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing specialized care, I treat every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy—whether it’s a quick walk around the block or an extended stay. Consistent, compassionate care is at the heart of everything I do. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my days around walk schedules, feeding times, and play sessions to ensure each pet receives consistent, personalized attention. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet I care for feels loved and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, and playtime—to make sure they feel right at home.

About: I’m a huge animal lover. When I was little, I had a few dogs growing up and was surrounded by my family’s pets as well. I give all animals love and affection. I’m that girl that gets distracted more by dogs than anything else. Your dog is a priority to me. I make sure to walk and keep your pup happy, healthy and well fed. Definitely a few treats on the side. I love taking care of animals and being around them. Dogs and animals alike are like family to me. They deserve all the love in the world. There is plenty of time for me to get out and about with your faithful companion. I will be able to give them long walks and plenty of time to play. In your home, I can play with your dog with their toys and if you have a yard, we can play fetch and lay out in the sun. Here at my home, you can be assured that I will love them just the same, if not more and keep them on their schedules.
“Grace came to watch Bax with very short notice which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. She is caring , followed my instructions and Baxter seems very relaxed with her. I will be using her services again.”

“Des did an awesome job taking care of our kitties! She took extra care to clean their bowls which we didn't even ask for. We're very grateful for her taking such good care of our kitties!❤️❤️”

“Vincent was excellent! It was our first time booking Vincent, and he even dropped by before our trip to meet Buster and learn about our routines. We had Vincent stop by several times throughout the day and the communication was amazing. He sent us pictures of our dog, Buster, out in the yard, on a walk or two, etc. Our dog was well taken care of and loved while we were away!”

“Delilah was fantastic with my Bailey and Ollie. She even loved on our cats and was conscientious, thinking of everything that we didn't plan for. We will be using her services again! Bailey and Ollie have new friends for life. 🥰”

About: My family breed and owned German shepherds since I was born. I started young feeding, walking, and bathing. I love my connection with dogs as well as other pets. I am available 24/7, I have an open schedule which I plan very carefully throughout the weeks. I am a self business, I work very hard. I have a friendly beagle puppy who loves to play fetch and play with her toys. I can insure that your pups/dogs will have plenty of toys and random playtimes.
About: Hi there! I’m Kari, and I LOVE ANIMALS. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve had my own for years. I know a lot about caring for pets, and making sure they are happy and feel loved. My friends ask me to care for their pets when they’re away. I’d love to spend some time loving on your sweet pets. I spend most of my time working with children, so I know how to be careful and caring and attentive to make sure everyone (including furry friends) remain content and safe. I’ll be sure to take any notes you share about your pets to heart and care for them the way you do, because pets are family. During school hours, I’m a teacher so I will be able to make before school and after school visits happen! During the summer, my schedule is much more clear, and I can’t wait to snuggle your creatures! I find it extremely important that your pets feel the same (or as close to) level of love and security they get from you. That’s why I am thorough in my question-asking and in my care for these furry family members. As long as I know what you need, I can make it happen!
About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
“Jamie made sure both of my kitties had plenty of food. He stayed for an hour each time. They were warming up to him by the fourth day. He will do what you want him to do to take care of your kitties. Thank you, Jamie”
About: Starting from a young age I knew I needed to be a pet care provider. Starting in high school I worked at several barns providing care for various livestock and companion animal species alike. While I love our livestock, I find more fulfillment in helping our household pets. I’m currently working on an animal care and behavior degree, and work at an animal hospital. I have experience in giving oral medications (to both dogs and cats) as well as subcutaneous fluids. I’ve managed several complex medication plans and understand how important a regular routine is for our pets. If you think we would be a good fit please reach out with any questions you may have. I do work full-time during work days, however, I can accommodate your pets needs during the day as long as we have clear communication. Aside from my full time work schedule, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets get the highest quality of care possible. Every pet is different! What works for one animal may throw your own pet into a panic and I’m here to make sure we can create a routine for your pet that makes them the most comfortable when you can’t be there. If your dog needs outside time and you don’t have a yard, let’s find the closest park or walking trail! Do your pets become anxious over night? I’ll be there to snuggle their worries away and provide all the pepperoni and churu they could ask for. Whatever your pets needs are, we’ll have an open line for communication throughout their time with me to ensure both you and them are happy.
About: I’ve cared for family and friend’s pets for over 20 years. I’ve been a foster mom and I have 5 dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently working part time so I am able to spend plenty of time playing and walking with your fur baby as needed during the week and sometimes on weekends. Currently, I am looking for opportunities to play and walk with your fur baby. As I do not have a fenced yard to board them at this time.

Abigail was amazing! We could not be happier to have found such a wonderful sitter/walker for our girl Molly. With Molly being a rescue and rather new to our family, I was nervous to leave her and afraid she would not do well without us. However, Abigail, gave her so much love and attention.... we came home to a happy and healthy doggie. Thank you so much Abigail! We look forward to having you visit Molly again...

Nicole is awesome! She gives our dogs lots of love and treats, and makes sure everyone gets their bathroom break and a walk in the middle of the day. It helps that she has experience at a veterinarian’s office and dog training as well. Nicole’s very accommodating and I highly recommend her to others looking for pet care!

Joy was excellent. I had a short last minute trip planned and she was able to jump in and take care of everything. She was super responsive and checked in right when she said she would. I received updates and pictures for each visit. I would book with her again.

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 Johnson City 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.
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 Johnson City 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.
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Johnson City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
