“Kathryn was a great, dependable dog watcher! I took a trip for a few days and could not have asked for a better sitter. She was dependable and sent plenty of updates. Would book with her again. 🤍”
About: I have been exposed to animals for the entirety of my life, my family has always fostered cats and has had dogs in the house. I have handled dogs of all sizes and all energy levels, from puppy to seniors and herding dogs to couch-potatos. I’m currently available for part-time drop ins, or overnight weekend stays. I am a college student so I have availability sporadically throughout the day, early morning, or late night. I am open to any setup to care for pets, and will diligently follow any instructions given for the specific animal. I am a college student so I am only available to go to clients homes rather than bring animals to me.
About: I love animals. I have two cat, and had a dog in my 20s before she passed away. I love to walk, play and cuddle with all pets. I have pretty open availability. I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine, so I know how tricky it can be, but I will make sure they get it down. My aunt has a dog rescue, so if I ever have any questions I have a great person to turn too, as she is currently caring for over 50 dogs, and working on getting a no kill animal shelter built. I am available all day Monday-Friday. If I have one days notice I can accommodate most requests! I also am available to be a weekly walker. I have two kitties, both around 2 years old. My previous cat was a senior cat, that requires a lot of love and attention.. he had several medicines he had to take that I gave him orally.
“Amber is a kind & caring person.. and was great with our two cats. Our youngest is afraid of everything and usually won’t come out of hiding when someone is at the house. But Amber was able to get him to warm up and play with her. It was wonderful knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I have been doing check ins with family friends for years for a range of animals. I have a 1.5 year old cocker spaniel that I also take care for and love dearly so I know the value pets have and cherish each one I baby sit. I’m currently a full time student that will drop in before and after class. I am happy to play with your cat or dog as long as they need with my time with them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and can clean up any messes they may create. Keeping their comfort with a new person is my top priority so I’m happy to play outside with them or cozy up on the couch or whatever they may need that day.
“Bridget has been amazing! She is prompt arriving at the house to make sure my pup goes out and has lunch. She sends the cutest messages about their visit and sends me pictures. It’s been a pleasure working with Bridget!!”
“Rachel is great!!! My dogs and cats loved her!!! Louie especially with ball catching. She dropped in each time we scheduled for our 3 days of pet sitting, sent pictures and greets communication. Thank you Rachel! We will book again!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Johnson City is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 408 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Johnson City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Johnson City. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
