“Rejon is absolutely lovely! She took great care of my senior Yorkie and left me very detailed reports for every drop in. Will absolutely use her again in the future ☺️”
“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!”
“My dog sitter is absolutely fantastic! She goes above and beyond to ensure that my dogs are well taken care of, showering them with love, attention, treat/toys and plenty of playtime. She’s always punctual, communicates with me regularly to update me on how they're doing, and even sends photos that show just how much fun they’re having. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and I can tell my dogs feel comfortable and happy with her. Knowing they’re in such caring hands gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Nicole was amazing! She was very communicative and left detailed, thorough notes. She was also very patient with our shy cat and did everything she could to make our cat feel safe. We definitely recommend Nicole!”
“Samuel was very professional and organized from day one. He took notes during the meet and greet with my cat to make sure that my cat would be well cared for when I was away. During his visits, Samuel went above and beyond to take care of my cat. I would not hesitate to work with him again.”

“Kara was wonderful! It was my first time using Rover for cat drop-ins and she made the whole process stress-free. She was very gentle and understanding when it came to dealing with my shy boy.

I’m a 30-year-old elementary school teacher who absolutely loves animals 💛 I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life—it’s something that just comes naturally to me!

About: My What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. Most of my experience comes from cat sitting, where I’ve learned how to care for pets with different personalities, including shy and anxious animals that need extra attention and consistency. As a track and field athlete, I’m very active and dependable, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs that need regular walks and exercise. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always treat every pet like my own. I would do it either before or after work. I would also do it on the weekends as needed by customers. I’d do it as often as I’m needed I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get regular walks or exercise when needed. I also keep living areas clean, including litter boxes or pet-related messes, and provide updates so owners feel comfortable while away. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are energetic, shy, or prefer a calmer environment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“I can't say enough good things about Johnna. This was my first time having Johnna pet sit for my dog and three casts. She sent me several pictures of the pets and wrote informative reviews of how they were doing. Johnna walked Flossy, my dog each day. She was meticulous in terms of picking up after the animals. When I returned I found the house in order. Johnna is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Johnson City
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.
Great services. Carissa is really patient and thoughtful taking care of my cats. And she always tries best to do all care stuff and asks me if she has any concerns. She sent me many photos during the drop-in visit and my cats are really comfortable with her, even the timid one. I really appreciate her help while I am out of town. And I will select her service again if I am out of town in the future.
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...

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.
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.

- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
