“Our puppy had a great time playing and running in Carlos’s large backyard with the other dogs she was watching. She had a wonderful 3 night stay and Carola send lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated! We can’t thank her enough!”
“What a blessing Sam and Erica are… and Lana too! Their calm energy quickly put our anxious pup, Jameson, at ease. Lana’s playful spirit helped distract him for the day. Sam sent updates and pictures, which I appreciated. Jameson can be a bit needy and I’m confident they gave him belly rubs as needed. This is the only place where Jameson hasn't sat by the door waiting for us to return. I am so grateful to have stumbled across their profile. I cannot recommend Sam & Erica enough!!!”
“Hannah was so wonderful!! I am beyond grateful for her and her family. She took regular pictures and sent me updates throughout his stay. They snuggled and loved on our “baby” just as we would have, and he was so much happier with Hannah and her family then he ever was anywhere else!!”
“I’m always anxious leaving my dogs with someone new/ you never know what they’ll experience while away from home. Lori definitely set my mind at ease and was kind to our pets and treated them like her own. We will be using her again.”
“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of. Rocket looked relaxed and calm and seemed to have a great stay. Alyson’s communication was direct and punctual and it was a great stress free experience.”
“Hands down!! Linda and Wendy will be my go to if I ever need to leave town again… if they will have us. They updated me with pictures and videos the whole time starting an hour from when I dropped Cali off. When my husband picked her up, she didn’t want to go to him and my husband is her favorite person. I highly recommend these ladies”
“Cheryl was excellent and took great care of our Lab mix! She sent photos and made sure she asked all the important questions prior to her stay. She offered flexible times in dropping off and picking up which was super helpful as well. Definitely using her again ❤️”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“We left Bella, our 6 month old pit mix with her and she did absolutely amazing! We got daily pics and updates of Bella and she would always text back right away! Bella had so much fun and we will for sure be having Kristy dog-sit next time we go out of town! Thank you Kristy!!”
“Great guy awesome communication took my cat for the weekend while I was traveling thru so I could go hit some excursions, he sent me updates and pictures of him keeping my cat active and played with. 1000x better than any boarding place I’ve ever taken him to. so glad to have found James.”
About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested. I’m excited to open my door (and heart) to your pup for day visits or overnights. I have one super tough 6 pound Shihtzu-Chihuahua in the house so your pups must be friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with puppies and caring for senior dogs. I work from home so I'm at home all day and night during the week. On weekends, I'm never gone for more than 3- 4 hours at any one time. Most of the time, I'm home with the fur babies. I have a house with ample room to welcome up to 2 dogs (same owner) at a time. I have a fenced back yard area allowing for exercise and free roaming. I never leave pets outdoors unattended. Dog's will normally sleep in my bed with me, but totally fine if they prefer their own bed in my room.
About: I have a love for all pets. I love caring for animals. I would love to share my love with your puppies or cats. Have had pets in my life for 50 years. I have availability must anytime. I have 4 yorkies an 1 goldendoodle of my own. I also help with several dogs an cats other than my own. I have a large fenced in yard. My dogs all play together but can also let play alone. In summer i keep puppy pools out also.
“Ashley was amazing with Sadie!! It was an emergency situation for us and Ashley made me feel so comfortable leaving our fur-toddler with her and her family! Ashley was so kind and had nothing but great photos and updates to send us throughout the week. We will definitely book with Ashley when needed in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 16 years. I have two beautiful girls with lots of energy and personality, we roof walks! And doggy parks I currently own a business and have the flexibility with my schedule to watch or walk your pup during the weekend. I like to walk and keep the pup exercising throughout the day. I unfortunately do not have a fenced yard, but I can walk your pup many times around the yard and be sure they get the well deserved attention.
“Julie was AMAZING! She sent me multiple updates each day to ease my anxiety and took such great care of my pup! My pup is high energy and a lot to deal with and Julie handled her perfectly. I absolutely recommend trusting Julie to watch your pup!”
About: Hi! I’m a teacher and lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I’m a reliable pet sitter who provides daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention so your pet stays happy and comfortable. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to details—qualities that carry over into how I care for animals. I always follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is for them to feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free until you return. As a teacher, I have a very structured and reliable daily routine. During the work week, I go home every day on my lunch break to let my own fur babies outside, check on them, and give them some attention. Because I already make time for my pets in the middle of the day, it’s easy for me to incorporate caring for other pets into my routine as well. My schedule allows me to provide care before work, during my lunch break, and again in the afternoons and evenings. This makes it easy for me to handle walks, potty breaks, feedings, and playtime throughout the day. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m used to making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Since I already prioritize my own pets’ routines, adding another furry friend to my daily schedule fits very naturally for me. When caring for pets, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and relaxed as possible by following their normal routine. I always make sure pets have fresh water, are fed according to their schedule, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding routines, medications if needed, walks, and preferred play activities. I also make sure pets get plenty of affection and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. In my own home, pets are treated like family. They receive lots of love, supervision, and a safe, calm environment. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and comfortable places to rest. Communication is very important to me, so I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Johnson City is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johnson City
Thomas was wonderful. He was so nice and easy to communicate with. He sent me lots of updates with photos and videos. I really appreciated him fitting me into his schedule. I wish he lived closer to us but will definitely contact him if we are passing through his area again. Lupe was very content to be staying with him and seemed really relaxed when I picked her up.
Lori recently cared for our dog for the second time, and I don’t think I could ever let anyone else watch over her. She always provides plenty of updates and pictures and makes sure Osha gets plenty of walks and love. Osha has allergies and only one eye, so she has to take medications including eyedrops, and Lori makes sure everything is given to her right on time. I am so grateful I found Lori because she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and the peace of mind I have knowing that Osha is safe and cared for by someone who loves animals is absolutely priceless. Thank you for all the love and care you put into watching my baby and all the others! You are very appreciated!
Christy was the best dog/cat sitter I could’ve ever asked for! She even planned a meet & greet to come and get a feel for my babies and learn about them so that she could give them the best care possible. She sent me updates and photos throughout my time away, and was incredibly kind and attentive. I will never use anyone else to pet sit again, Christy has my business for life :)

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Johnson City is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 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 of October 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Johnson City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Johnson City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Johnson City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Johnson City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Johnson City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
