“Maddy did an outstanding job with my kitties, Samoa is usually very shy until she gets to know you, Samoa even ignored her treats at first and just wanted Maddy's full attention! ;-) Charlie and Samoa were very well taken care of while I was away.”
“Wonderful care for my three shy kitties! I cannot recommend Katherine highly enough! She recently cared for my three cats, and did an amazing job from start to finish. She was always punctual, and she kept in touch throughout. Whenever she had a question, she texted me right away, and she sent photos to make sure she was doing everything exactly the way I wanted. That attention to detail gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She took care of all the essentials thoughtfully, not only filling the food and water bowls but washing them too, and she kept the litter boxes clean throughout. What impressed me most, though, was how gently she approached my kitties. They are quite skittish, and Katherine respected that, interacting with them delicately and patiently rather than forcing anything. One of them even came out to see her at feeding time, which says a lot about how calm and trustworthy she is. When I came home, all three kitties seemed relaxed and content, which is the best sign that they were in good hands. Katherine is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I will definitely be booking her again, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter, also for shy or nervous cats.”
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.
“Bonnie did a great job dropping in to visit our cat for our weekend away. She sent lot's of pictures, he looked happy and well cared for in all of them. Everything was perfect on our return.”
“Marissa was so communicative and sweet while watching my cat! If I had any questions or needed anything I knew she would be helpful or responsive. My cat also loved her which tells me a lot about her! 💛”
About: I have one senior pit mix who I currently take care of, and I have also pet sat for both dogs and cats for family/friends. I have lots of flexibility to take care of different animals. While I am at school and my schedule varies depending on the day, I am available most times of the day. Just communicate with me and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out! I will meet with your dog for one-on-one playtime with toys and lots of cuddles. At least one or more walks with plenty of potty breaks and feeding if needed. I try my best to cater to the individual needs of your animal.
About: Being a pet owner all of my life, I understand the importance they bring to your life. You want to do everything you can to give them the best possible life, and I’m here to help! I have years of experience pet sitting for family and friends. Whether you’re on vacation or work long shifts, you can be rest assured your pet will be in the best care. I'm currently working part-time making my own hours, so I have a very flexible schedule! I'm available weekdays 9am-3pm and weekends after 3pm! I believe it's important to keep my cat inside and spayed, updating her shots to ensure she and other cats don't spread preventable diseases. As for dogs I always make sure to wrap their leash twice around my hand to ensure I have full control. Keeping the counter tops clean also prevents any animal from consuming something they should
“My sweet girl loved being watched by Robyn, they instantly had chemistry. I love that Robyn has experience with larger breeds, and appreciate how thorough she is in communicating/providing updates. Will definitely book again.”
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 and I’ve recently adopted my own puppy. I’ve always been considered the “fun aunt” for my friends and family’s pets. It’s amazing to now have my own little bundle of joy. Being the mother of my puppy, Biscotti, has been such an incredible and rewarding experience. It brings me so much joy to offer exercise and love and care to all pets! I’m currently working part time on the weekends so, I have full availability during the week. I’m always up quite early, sometimes even before the sun. So, if early walks/visits are needed I can absolutely be there. I offer lots of cuddles and I am an avid lover of exercise so I will have your pups happily trotting and playing around safely.
About: Hi! I’m Shell, a compassionate and dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets and working in a veterinary hospital. As a Veterinary Assistant, I’m comfortable handling animals, paying attention to their behavior and needs, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I treat every animal like an individual—not just another booking. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and loved. 🐶💗 I’m attentive to details, reliable, patient, and always willing to follow your pet’s specific routine and instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you don’t have to wonder how your furry friend is doing! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first. I work as a Veterinary Assistant, so animals are already a big part of my daily life! I’m excited to bring that experience into caring for your pets. I’m experienced with handling animals safely and recognizing when they’re stressed or uncomfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine carefully and provide a calm, safe, loving environment.
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!
“Darcy did a wonderful job taking care of our four cats. She was very conscientious about her visits and provided excellent daily communication. I would definitely ask her to visit again.”
About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Johnson City
I highly recommend Katherine! She was wonderful with my dogs and went above and beyond by also helping me care for my ducks and chickens. She made sure everyone was fed, had fresh water, and was well taken care of. I really appreciated her kindness, reliability, and willingness to help with all of my animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur babies and feathered friends were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Katherine and would happily use her again!
We have had great experiences with Colleen taking care of our 3 cats. This time we were gone longer than previous trips and as usual I was very happy with the care my cats received. They were all calm and happy when we returned, and the litter boxes were maintained well so we didn’t come home to a stinky house. Colleen is very responsive to messages and visits very early in the morning to keep them close to their usual feeding schedule. We will continue to be repeat clients for sure.
Alyssa was so great with our cats. We got an update with every drop in visit and our three seemed to really enjoy her. Everyone was happy and well taken care of the whole time we were gone. Will definitely be reaching out again the next time we’re gone for a long weekend.
Second time booking Rejon and I felt so at peace knowing she was looking after my babies! I can tell my baby, Zuri, in particular seems to have started developing a bond with her 🥰 And she even let me know about a small leak I had in my basement which I really appreciated.
Kylie was amazing with my pets! She was kind, reliable, and made me feel very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She took great care of them and was very attentive to their needs. I really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Nicole was just wonderful on her drop in with Spock. Followed instructions for dealing with his food, water, treats, litter box. Even keeping tabs on his destructive kitten capabilities without any problems. Pets, a brushing, play. She was so attentive. Received great proof of "I didnt destroy the entire house without you Mom" pictures too!! Will definately booking her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Johnson City is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. 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 194 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Johnson City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
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.
