“Taylor was great with our cats while we were away! She sent updates and photos and went out of her way when one wasn't seen for a couple of days. She asked neighbors if they had seen her and left food and water out in case she returned when she wasn't there. She also played with them and cleaned up their food and litter areas efficiently. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!”
“Christy catered to a last-minute request for a couple of drop-ins while I was out of town for a couple of nights. I had already booked her for a longer stay in the future, but I’m glad I added this additional session so she could get familiar with my Blueberry and he could get used to her. Needless to say, he adapted very well. Christy communicated very proactively and sent pictures often. Very much appreciated care for my baby.”
“Desirae was amazing!!! Such a sweet girl who took the best care of our Winnie. She sent pictures and was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”
“Olivia has been doing drop-in visits for my puppy for the past few months and has been amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes me feel at ease when I’m away. She always makes sure my puppy is well taken care of, gets plenty of attention, and keeps me updated during visits. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Aubrey was great from the initial meet and greet to communication and pictures. She showed up for the visits spent time love the cats, filled out a great report and sent lots of pictures.”
“Laura did a wonderful job with Lady May. She had a meet & greet earlier in the week where she asked appropriate questions & alleviated any concerns. I appreciated the pictures and report card. I would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Kathryn was quickly responsive to all of my inquiries. She showed up consistently and my cats were very chill when I got home. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have lots of experience with pet and house sitting. Small and large dogs, and cats of all ages. I've taken care of geriatric animals with special dietary and medication requirements, including injections. I respect all animals and take special care to take care of animals the way you want them to be cared for. I graduated in May with my PhD from Virginia Tech, and moved back home to Johnson City. I am currently looking for a full-time position, so I have very open availability. I have experience working with animals of all types, respecting the routines and schedules that animals are used to. I follow any rules or specific requests and endeavor to be respectful of the home.
“Allison is a phenomenal pet sitter! We have booked her multiple times and will continue selecting her when available. This past trip she even put the trash by the curb completely unprompted! She noticed it needed to happen and she got it done. She is trustworthy, reliable and our pets love her!!”

I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!
“Amber was awesome! 22 visits over 11 days and she went above and beyond every visit. My pup was happy to see us when we returned, but after a few minutes, she started looking for more people to come inside. We think she was disappointed it was just us and not Amber coming back to play and walk! She will miss you! I really hope she will work with us again! It was very reassuring knowing my dog was in excellent hands, and it made it much easier being comfortable while away. Thank you, Amber, for everything! We are truly grateful! Take care and I hope to speak with you again in the future!”

Natalie did another amazing job checking in on our two kitties while we were gone. She gave detailed updates on how they were doing and always sent photos. We knew they were getting lots of attention during her check-ins. We highly recommend Natalie as a pet sitter and will continue to book her in the future.
She went above and beyond for me when I had car trouble and couldn’t be back the day that I had planned on coming back home! She was super flexible and very understanding. I genuinely appreciated it. I don’t know what I would have done without her. 10/10, 5 STARS, I would recommend! My animals all loved her and she was very thoughtful and communicative. 😊👏

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Johnson City on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
