“My puppy loves spending time with Lori. Lori has a sweet spirit and she is a special lady. She is wonderful with my 12 week old fur baby. They formed an instant bond. She met us ahead to be sure to get the details of the drop-in. Lori sent photos and videos of her progress with our puppy while we were away. She is very knowledgeable about training our rambunctious little guy to obey her commands. We are very impressed and can tell the difference she is making. We can't wait until we see her again. She is amazing!”

“Took great care of my cat, and did a great job handling some unforseen troubles in the process. She also kept me updated as needed and was a pleasure to communicate with. Great sitter and would recommend!”

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.

About: I've helped take care of neighbors and friends dogs many times since I was a kid up into college. I have always had a dog of my own and understand the importance of being able to get some help to watch them when needed! I am currently a student in the PT program at ETSU and have time to let your pups out during breaks, before, and after class! I know every dog has their own routine, to provide check-ins and walks I would just follow the info given for what a normal day for the pup would be! I also find it very important to provide check-in’s/ photos of the pup during visits so you can see what they’ve been up to!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past three years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve helped care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and understand how important it is to follow each family’s routines and instructions. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I’m a college student on Summer break, so I have lots of time to take care of your furry friends! I’m available from 6am-9pm everyday to accommodate your needs. I care for pets by first carefully reading all information and instructions provided to ensure I provide your feeding and walking schedules to a tee.

“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”


About: Hello! My name is Molly, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by animals—multiple dogs and cats were a constant part of my life from childhood through adulthood. I currently have 3 yr dachshund. Before that, I had my beloved dog Layla, a rescue I adopted during my undergraduate years. Layla was with 2011 until her passing on 2022, due to old age. She was my heart and soul, a true companion who helped me through so many chapters of life. Her memory continues to inspire the deep compassion I have for all animals. I genuinely believe that every animal is unique and special true angels who deserve only the best care and love. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for animals not only in my own home, but also by pet-sitting for neighbors and friends. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbors’ dogs when they traveled, and I also spent weekends helping out at a farm across the street from my childhood home, caring for farm animals. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been there myself, worrying whether my dog would receive the love and attention she needed. That’s why I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own—providing love, patience, and attention to the little details that make your pet who they are. You can trust that your furry family member will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. Note: I require proof of your dog to be fully vaccinated with the recommended vaccines for dogs. -My dog is fully vaccinated. About My Schedule & Pet Boarding Services I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, with four days spent in the office and one day working from home typically on Thursdays. I’m off on weekends. Though I work full time I would be able to board dogs that need a place to stay that comfortable but who are ok being left alone. Boarding Availability and Doggy Daycare: I offer boarding everyday of the week (no house sitting). Drop In Visits and Dog walking: I also offer drop-in visits and cats/ dog on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays—up to 3 times per day if needed. If you’re looking for a comfortable, home-like environment to board your dog while you’re away, look no further! Pets are welcome on the furniture, and I strive to make them feel as relaxed and loved as possible. If your dog is crate-trained and prefers resting in their crate, I can follow the same routine I use for my own dog while I’m at work. However, if your pup is comfortable lounging on the couch or bed while you’re away, that’s absolutely fine too! I do ask that your dog be: • Potty trained or pad trained • Non-destructive • Not a constant barker - bc I am in an apt A little barking at the door is totally normal my own dog does it too! They just need to be okay being left alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. That said, I come home on my lunch break to let my dog out and give her a treat, and I’d happily do the same for your pup. I also leave soothing music on to help keep them calm while I’m out. When I’m home, your dog will have full access to the house to play, nap, and relax. We do morning walks (10–15 minutes) and breakfast before I leave for work, and evening walks and dinner when I return. On weekends, since I’m off, your dog will enjoy a fun and engaging time with me! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I treat my dog like family she’s my child to me and I’ll give your pets the same love, attention, and respect. Animals mean the world to me; they are truly angels in our lives. To ensure your dog or cat feels safe and comfortable in my care, please share all the important details about their personality, habits, and any special needs or things I should be mindful of. The more I know, the better I can provide a smooth and stress-free experience for your pet. If your pet has favorite items—like a bed, toys, blankets, or anything that brings them comfort—please send those along with their food. I want them to feel as at home as possible while they’re away from you. I strive to give every animal in my care lots of love, extra attention, and a warm, calm environment. Their comfort and happiness are my top priorities.
“Leah did a great job. She communicated well, sent us photos, and any necessary updates. It was a relief to find someone who could successfully medicate our elderly cat while we were away, and also care for our 3 other cats. She played with the cats, as well!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. I stared working at a vets office and haven’t looked back. Pet care can look like many different things in my week such as, a single feeding, a walk, a check in or the full on in home service with all the feedings and all the walks. While, I would love to have every dog and cat over to my house I can’t realistically do that b/c I own a cat who does love other cats and she tolerates dogs, your dog or cat would have to be cat friendly. So most of my jobs are me coming to your home whether that is a drop in or a full time boarding situation while you’re on vacation.

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. 😊👏

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Johnson City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
