“This was my 2nd booking with Marissa with two more booked. The face of my lab Rosie says it all. Thank you Marissa so much. My job requires me to travel more and I can now feel comfortable when I am away. I'm actually booking my trips based on Marissa's availability.”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dog for the past 7 years, taking them on walks and plenty of potty breaks. I follow a motto that a dog always needs more treats. I’m currently a graduate student, but the schedule is quite flexible but I tend to be quite free on weekdays after 4 pm and can do boarding on most weekends! I have no yard as I live in an apartment with my cat. There is plenty of windows and the neighborhood is quite safe for everyone.

About: Animals (especially dogs!) are my greatest passion in life. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were 8 weeks old. They are my entire world! I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. My dream in life is to open a sanctuary for stray dogs. I recently rescued a stray puppy in Puerto Rico and found her a forever loving home in the states, many more rescuing to come! I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs! I love hanging out with your pups and providing them with quality, love and care while you are away! I am a perfectionist and I give out the same level of thorough care that I would want for my own dogs! I tailor my visits according to you and your pups needs, whether that be a nice long walk, fresh food and water, play time or just companionship. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks.

“Vincent was amazing with my two pitties - he kept me updated throughout the day with photos and notes on how they were doing. I get a little anxious leaving them overnight, but he was great to work with and put my mind at ease. My dogs can be a little leash reactive and one of them gets a shot every other day on top of a few other medications, but he was able to handle all of that no problem. I definitely recommend him and will be booking with him in the future!”

“Brooklin was wonderful. She stayed with both of my dogs for four days and did an excellent job. The house was kept as it was left, the dogs were happy the whole time. While she was there my cleaning lady came and specifically texted me that she was so polite and caring and wonderful with the animals. I will be using her again!”

About: Hi there, I’m a caring who is down to earth. Experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages. I like to keep active. Go exploring so bonus points if you have a dog who likes car rides and maybe a nature trail. I will send animal photos if needed. I can adjust if your furbaby needs meds or extra special care. I am new to Greeley, CO and that is where my focus is to help someone out who will be out of town for whatever the reason may be. I used to swing by the Broome County Humane Society to walk some dogs and give them attention rather than being caged in a new environment. Dogs always like me even if it takes some warming up. Let me know the routine and I will make sure it happens, they go out of the home, go for car rides, hikes, walks and so on. I would prefer a meet and greet before jumping into someone’s home. Also leave your streaming platforms available. I am mostly new to Colorado and I love the culture. I do not yet have a dog by my side, i have been described as a Dogtrovert LOL. I have lots of experience from volunteering as well as my own dogs. Ranging from chihuahuas (one of my own) to labradors(who all behaved and loved dog parks) putties/pit bulls and German Shepards. I am a dog lover, trustworthy and responsible. Message me if you think we are a match.

About: I grew up in the woods surrounded by a constant menagerie of beloved animals, from kittens and hamsters and goldfish to an energetic black lab and her tumbling litter of puppies, to parakeets and cockatiels and the wild baby hawks my mother rescued. Though I never had a snake growing up, I lived with two ball pythons in college and learned about reptiles petsitting for iguanas. Because I travel regularly, I’m not in a position to have pets of my own, and so petsitting is not only a way to earn extra income, but also to fulfill my longing to connect with animals. Life is better with creature friends! I’ve been petsitting for 21 years, and I have experience with a wide variety of animal, both long- and short-term stays, and with boarding cats, dogs, and snakes at my home for weeks at a time. I’ve provided long-term care for kitties and pooches who need diabetes injections twice a day, and I’m no stranger to following *very specific protocols* to get an aged friend to take their daily pills. I’ve cared for nervous nellies and pandemonius puppies and cats who need to chase lots of things in order to stay sane. I enjoy learning your pets’ favorite games to play, and I’m also experienced with supporting any training and boundaries you’re working on with them. I understand that when I’m petsitting, it’s like nannying children (which I’ve also done for over a decade!) I’m committed to providing your pets with safety and care, as well as showing them love, energy, and attention while helping them navigate what it’s like to miss their favorite human. I treat petsitting as a great responsibility, not only regarding practical logistics, but also for your pets’ enrichment and quality of life! I work primarily as a grant writer and non-profit consultant, and so I have a flexible daily schedule. I often work from home, which means I’m able to spend time with your pets throughout the day! I love walking pets and giving them (and me!) exercise, and I’m able to do so as often as your pet requires. I’m a professional musician and I have performances from time to time in the evenings or brunch time, but I’m able to plan my schedule around your pets’ needs. Since I’m flexible with time, I’m not overwhelmed by complex feeding schedules or rituals. I love the psychological richness of caring for new and different types of animals, and I’m a quick study to learn new protocols. I’m happy to learn your pets’ rhythms, and match their routines as closely as possible while I’m with them. I have many years of experience with overnight gigs in other people’s homes, and I deeply respect the responsibility of caring for someone else’s space. Since I’ve been petsitting for so long, I’m very familiar with keeping a small footprint and cleaning up thoroughly after myself. I also have experience caring for plants and other home maintenance needs while petsitting, anything that will put your mind at ease while you travel.

“Can’t thank Sari enough. She came in on short notice, was so genuine and friendly, quick to respond and helped my dog go through her first ever heat cycle. My dog having her dog period was very unexpected and I could not be more grateful for having someone like Sari. She sent pictures and was very caring for my animals. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of pup sitting services. She should be on the front cover of Rover magazine if there was one. THANK YOU!!”

Janmariz is AMAZING. My dog is very anxious and requires a lot of patience—she’s not for everyone. Janmariz was so great with her, adjusting all kinds of things when she was too scared to come out from under the bed, giving her space, moving her food, cleaning up pads, etc. Bonus: Janmariz sent me hilarious pics of my cat.

This was my first experience with Rover. Carissa was better than I could have hoped for in caring for my dogs! The pictures she sent helped me adjust to being separated from them and they certainly looked happy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Johnson City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Johnson City is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $54 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 107 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Johnson City. 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 Johnson City 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 Johnson City 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 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!

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.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Johnson City. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
