“We had an amazing experience, and I couldn't be happier with the care Finnigan received! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. The communication throughout his stay was excellent—I received updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. When Finnigan got home, he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything about the quality of care he received. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and love shown to Finnigan. I would absolutely trust Weston with our dog again and highly recommend Weston to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Julie and Michael were able to help us out on just a few hours notice and took excellent care of our dog. They sent updates and pictures everyday, and Nieve seemed like she really enjoyed her time there. We’ll definitely be rebooking soon!”
“Michael took care of our doxie for a week and he dis great! Kept me posted on everything since he’s a bit older. Thank you so much for your extra care! Highly recommended!”
“Our dog Charlie had the BEST weekend stay with Lacey and her fam while we were away getting married! Charlie was welcomed in as part of Lacey’s family and we couldn’t be more grateful that our girl was taken care of so well. We got so many updates throughout the weekend and Charlie got so much activity — 10/10 would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!”
“Good people, they took care of my dog this was my dogs first time to be boarded and Becca was vary helpful in making sure she had reassurance. I will use Bacca again, and I would recommend her.”
“Caroline was amazing. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout Aine’s stay which I loved and Aine was a content and happy zombie pup when we picked her up Sunday. Will definitely be booking with Caroline again!”
“Updated me with adorable pictures of my dog. When I went to pick him up he wanted to go back inside their house! Haha so he must have enjoyed his time. Great communication and nice home for my dog to stay while I was out of town :)”
“Wow 🤩 what an amazing experience with Sophia and her family as she watched our sweet dog this past weekend. Sophia took such great care of our pet, was kind and courteous, took pictures for us and gave me lots of updates. Her kids did amazing with our little girl and we could not be more pleased with the situation. Highly recommend!!”
“Donovan was a great sitter for our Moxie’s extended boarding! He and his family were very welcoming, the nature surrounding the walks seemed to provide great stimulation for our pup, and Donovan sent plenty of photo updates every day. Would definitely book him again in the future!!”
“Absolutely adore Alex!! She took such incredible care of our dog, and it is so clear that she genuinely loves animals. Alex instantly connected with our dog which helped our pup feel right at home. She would talk so sweetly to him and sent us the best picture updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: We both work from home and take breaks to play with the pups during the day and ensure they're eating on their individual schedules. We have a two year old dog named Strawberry who loves running around and playing with other dogs in our large fully fenced in backyard. If needed, we can keep the dogs separate, but prefer dogs that can play and run around together. We also have a young son (6) who's great with dogs and loves to spoil them. All guest dogs must be crate trained as they will sleep in their crates and may have crate time if we run errands. We have a Large Diggs Crate for our guests to use at no additional cost, but if you prefer to bring a crate from home that is perfectly fine as well. We like to enjoy family time with the dogs which includes playing inside and outside and lounging in the living room or game room. Your pup will feel part of the family while they are with us. If you enjoy seeing pictures, we love to send them 🐶 📷 We work from 9am-5pm at home. During work hours the dogs can hang in the office with Samantha, have crate time if needed/preferred, sun bathe and enjoy some outdoors squirrel watching, or watch out the windows from the A/C. We're excited to meet new doggie guests and see where they enjoy spending their day. We will cater to unique eating schedules. After 5pm we enjoy family time and ample time with the fur babies. At bedtime, we crate the dogs (including our own). We have a dog and kid friendly back yard. There is a lot of room for the dogs to run and play together and with us. Water fun is optional and seasonal. We cater to eating schedules. Nighttime is crated for individual and safe sleep space.
“Grant, Ashley, and Finn are fantastic hosts. Blanca and Gigi were calm for their first meeting, and happy when we picked them up after their stay. Grant was super communicative, flexible, and helpful. We will definitely use them again when our little delinquents need a place to stay.”
“Allyn & Diane were great with our large dog Calvin. Allyn took Calvin along on his daily excursion to the lake with their dog Blue and he takes longer walks than we do, so I'm sure Calvin loved it. Calvin had a crate available, but felt comfortable in their home and didn't really use it because he got Allyn's special chair instead! (I think he was taking cues from Blue.) He got special gravy in his food (instead of water), so basically he was really pampered-just how you want your pet treated at the sitter!! We feel comfortable booking again and have no hesitations with recommending them to neighbors and friends.”
“Meredith and Lance once again did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs. They even managed to keep them entertained during a huge rain storm. They didn’t even want to come home they were so happy. Meredith communicated with me throughout their stay, send such cute picture and loved them like their own. Highly recommend!! Thanks y’all!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for families for almost 5 years now in all capacities from their home to my home, and pop-up visits! Experience administering all kinds of medications and nurturing sick dogs post surgeries or in their old age. I’m a huge fan of cuddling and love, but will also abide by any training habits and routines you have set for your pet! I’m currently unemployed and can dedicate maximum amount of my time to your pet! As many bathroom breaks and walks as needed with maximum attention given! I have a back yard that is unfenced but very private up on a hill. I have my own 2 year old dog as well and never leave her or any other dogs unattended outside. We love to go for as many walks as needed and will spend ample time cuddling and playing. My dog is very friendly and loves having company in the house, she play really well with all dogs!
“Victoria is so good with Jackie!! I really appreciate her because when I’m out of town, which is fairly frequently, I don’t worry about Jackie because I know she is in good hands.”
“Kari was a great choice to watch my dog. She was very caring and responsive with my elder dog who required medication. I will for sure book her again in the future.”

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.
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.
96% 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, we recommend 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Johnson City. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 TX 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
