“Alyssa came to watch our cats a couple of times this summer and she was awesome!! She took great care of our girls while we were gone and was very accommodating with our schedule needs. He daily updates assured us that our cats were in good hands and allowed us to focus on our time away. We will definitely reach out to her again!!”
About: I have experience with all animals from birds to cattle. I spent a few years in animal rehabilitation as well as cared for special needs animals. I grew up on my family farm caring for a variety of animals. I love them all with my whole heart. Day to day I am in school for Radiology and I’m looking for work that has more flexible hours and days to work with my schedule. I will do whatever your pet needs in your own home to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I will crate if you want but I will also snuggle them. I will play fetch and go on walks. I will even take them to the vet if you can’t because of work.
“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.”
“McKenzie did a great job with drop-in visits for my dogs! She was reliable, kept me updated, and made sure they were well taken care of while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”
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!
“So thankful Laura was able to walk and spend time with my dogs while I was out with some friends for a good part of the day. She communicated quickly and kindly, and she sent several pictures of my dogs while she was with them. I could tell the dogs had enjoyed themselves and used some energy with her as they were still calm and happy when I returned home. I’ll definitely reach out to Laura again, and my dogs will be excited for her return!”
“Kathryn was amazing with our two cats!! We were gone for seven days; the cats missed us but weren’t a bit stressed thanks to Kathryn’s amazing care! My shy cat warmed up to her so quick. Will definitely be booking Kathryn for our future pet sitting needs. Thanks!”

“Kat is amazing! She took such great care of our cat Bob. Bob normally doesn’t warm up to people quickly, he’ll usually hide under the bed and not come out. Kat worked her magic and Bob was putty in her hands, purring and letting her give him belly rubs. I’d recommend her for you four legged kids care.”

Because of that, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets. I will always treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own! I'm a senior this year at ETSU, so I will have class during the week, but my schedule is still very open!

“Shane was amazing. He was very professional and took such good care of my 3 doggies . He was also wonderful about checking in with me and keeping me updated with messages and pictures.

McKenzie did a great job with drop-in visits for my dogs! She was reliable, kept me updated, and made sure they were well taken care of while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her 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. 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. 😊👏

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
