I cannot say enough how amazing Allison was in her home visits for my pup. She was communicative, respectful, of my house during her stays overnight, and responsible. She went above and beyond and will happily seek her services in the future!

Lisa was absolutely amazing. My babies took to her right away, and I'm sure they will miss her until the next time. She kept me updated and left my home as she found it. Will definitely be using her whenever I travel!

About: I offer dependable, friendly dog care with plenty of attention, love, exercise, and affection. Your dog will stay happy, active, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m a student, so I typically schedule visits around my class breaks. Holidays are the best times for me, but I’m flexible and always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I stick to your feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I worked at a dog daycare for over 2+ years. I have experience with most types and temperaments of dogs. I have trained puppies previously. And I have had animals of my own since I was a child. I understand the patience and kindness that animals need and I love to get to know them. I have 3 cats and a tarantula of my own which gives me so much insight on the care and attention pets need. Love all animals, big or small! Im big on communication and empathy with people and pets! I have a pretty flexible job so I would love to spend my extra time caring for your pet to ensure their health and happiness. I love to get outside for walks so why not bring along a cute companion! In client homes I will be sure to respect the pets space and the home itself. I take great detail to their mannerisms and make sure my behaviors matches accordingly to deescalate any situation or to calm any nervous feelings.

About: I have experience in training puppies as well as older dogs. I am all inclusive when it comes to fur babies. I have a pit bull named Nina and a cat named Cricket. They are both my best friends and I totally understand just how important it is to find someone to truly care for your pets. I have worked with animals of all shapes and sizes all the way from Mastiffs to Yorkshire Terriers. I’m here for all of your fur babies needs. I am currently working part time and going to college at ETSU. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and take care of your fur babies. I can work in the morning, afternoons, and evenings. I can work the day of request but prefer at least one day before that to make sure that I can give enough time to your fur babies. I live in an apartment so unfortunately I can’t board your dog but I can board your cat if you are okay with them playing with my female cat Cricket. I can separate them if necessary and discussed prior. I love watching dogs or cats at your home. It’s preferred for me because it keeps them the most comfortable. I love to walk dogs and have previous experience in this. If your dog has any triggers such as other dogs, men, loud noises, or even crowded environments please let me know so I can meet your fur babies needs fully, safely, and completely. This is truly my passion and I cannot wait to be able to fulfill any and every need for your pets.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been blessed to love and care for pups of all ages — from energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and attention. Growing up around dogs taught me more than just the basics of feeding and walking. It taught me how to read their body language, understand their different personalities, and recognize when they need comfort, space, playtime, or reassurance. Every dog is different, and I truly respect that. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. They’re family. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, sticking closely to their routine, or just quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to be fully present and flexible for your fur babies. My schedule is very open, so I’m available most days and times to provide attentive, loving care. Because I’m not juggling a full-time job outside of the home, your pet won’t be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly enjoy being home and caring for animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to give each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. 🐶💛 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, medications, and bedtime habits — because I know consistency helps reduce stress. Pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and rest. Since I stay home, they’re rarely left alone and always have someone nearby to make them feel safe and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure feeding instructions, walk schedules, medications, and any special care needs are followed exactly as requested. I keep things tidy, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal in either setting is the same — to treat your fur baby like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had family dogs since I was 2 years old. I have also had experience owning and caring for a dog with medical needs. I dog sit often for family and friends. I currently work full time from 6-4 Monday-Friday so afternoon and weekend cares suits me very well! I love walking dogs and playing with them. For my own pups I give lots of snuggles while also respecting their personal space. It’s important to me that my dog is walked enough to exercise and enjoy his surroundings.

Heather was wonderful pet/house sitter for our dog. It was the first time we left him with someone that wasn't family, and he did great. She sent us updates and pictures twice daily. It was nice to see he was being well cared for while we were away. She also took great care of the house and left it possibly cleaner than when we left. I highly recommend Heather!

About: I have 20+ years of canine experience, providing expert care for dogs of all ages. I have experience working with both young puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their specific needs are met with care and attention. I am skilled in training and handling, and providing safe transportation. I have managed, owned and operated doggy daycares, ensuring daily play, socialization, and individualized attention. Every dog in my care receives loving, professional, and reliable care. As a dog mom myself, pet care is a natural part of my daily schedule. I pride myself on owning happy animals by providing constant care and attention. In my home all pets are treated like family. I believe in letting dogs be dogs. Stemming from that belief, I do not crate the animals in my care (unless strictly necessary or requested by the client). I live right next to a fenced dog park so all dogs in my care get ample opportunity to stretch their legs. I also provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks and structured meal times.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was four. I have had roughly 10 dogs that have been mine or family members alone that I have needed to lovingly take care for. I have had multiple clients that I have pet sat for though, from dogs to cats to even fish, I live for pet sitting. I have had two jobs though that I think really made me want to continue dog sitting, the first one was a wonderful old dog (her name was Bailey and kept wanting to play fetch until her last moments) an outdoorsy ish cat (his name is Charlie and he might be my favorite cat, ever) and a couple fish (one named tiger and the other lily), and the second job which I love grabbing as soon as it is offered is THREE dogs (they were all big cuties, though they didn’t like other dogs on walks which could get awkward) I loved staying at the house with them and I really felt like I was one with the dogs (Their names were Dave, Francis, and Howard, they might be favorite dogs). I’m currently a college student, so I’m definitely available! I have classes from Monday-Friday and my weekends are completely empty. As of now I would not be able to work many holidays due to my family wanting me to come back in town and see them. When I am in town though I will almost always be available to reach out to even for last minute sittings. For every dog sitting job I’ve had I make sure to stay aware of the dogs, and I always double check to make sure every escape passage is locked and that the dogs or cats have their water and food. I also love animals, so I love going outside with dogs and playing fetch, tug of war, or any game your dog/pet might love.

There are quite a few options for sitters in the Johnson City area so my #1 reason for using Campbell was her being agreeable to stay in my home. My dog has quite a few anxiety issues and it’s best if she stays in her own home when we have to go out of town. My dog did not appear frightened of her on the meet and greet. Campbell sent me pics of my dog sitting next to her on the couch and also several texts to let me know she was doing OK. She had no problem giving my dog medication. When I returned home, our house was in immaculate condition. I will use Campbell again the next time I have to go out of town.
