“Sherri was absolutely fantastic! Our Poppy is still so small and requires a great deal of care and attention, and Sherri was exceptional in providing us updates, the best pics, and most importantly loving our Poppy in our absence. And dog owner would be so fortunate to have Sherri care for their fur babies! She is the best!”

“Where do I start on how wonderful Sheena is with my 3 dogs, Foxy, Houdini and Freddie! My dogs lover her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they have fun, do their business and the dogs are ready for bed with no muss or fuss! Sheena's photos each day are so good, she just captures them and how thrilled they are to be with her! I recommend Sheena highly and would give her 100 stars if I could. You will not be disappointed if Sheena is available to help you with your pups. Jo”

About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals through my work as a veterinary technician, where I have developed strong skills in animal handling, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, providing nutritional support, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I am confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, including those who may be nervous, anxious, or need extra patience and gentle care. I understand the importance of recognizing changes in behavior, following specific care instructions, maintaining proper hygiene, and prioritizing every pet’s safety and well-being. Above all, I am passionate about providing loving, attentive, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, but I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays all day, including overnight to pet sit your fur babies. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As someone with hands-on veterinary experience, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs to ensure they receive personalized attention and compassionate care. I am attentive to their behavior, practice safe handling, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and take extra precautions during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. I live in a one bedroom apt where I have dog park access as well as a bathing room. I also believe communication is essential, so I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving their owners confidence that their furry family members are in trustworthy, caring hands.

About: Hi there! I’m a detail oriented nursing student who would love to care for your pets in my downtime. I have over a decade of personal experience navigating the chaotic energy of teething puppies and the delicate, specialized care required for senior dogs. I’m highly adaptable to your pets specific stage in life! As a nursing student, my schedule is rather structured, which means I can offer your dog predictable routine care. Here’s how: Early morning walks☀️: 5am-8/8:30am Perfect for a quick bathroom break and stretch before my classes. Midday Dropins: This varies based on my schedule for the week but can be arranged if possible Afternoon & Evening care 🌙: After 3pm Once my classes wrap for the day, I am wide open for long walks, hikes, park visits or dinner time feedings! I do offer house sitting if needed! I replicate your exact schedules so your pet feels zero disruptions. I understand the importance of routine, my two dogs are very prompt as well! Because I am a student, I often bring my study material along. This ensures your pet gets hours of focused companionship while I study. You also get the added peace of mind that a trusted, background checked nursing student is looking after your home.

About: I have personally had pets since the day I was born, mostly dogs and cats, but also a snake and hamster, I started pet sitting when I was 14 and have experience with caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and horses. I know that your pet is a part of the family with a routine, personality, and individual needs so I am very conscientious about owner advice and instructions when it comes to their fur (or not so furry) baby. I love spending time with animals and where I live I can not unfortunately have dogs (I do have two cats though) so I feel the Oppertunity to walk dogs and do check ins on animals would be a fantastic way to get to spend time around them again. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of availability throughout the day and week to give your pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. Depending on the energy and type of animal as well as owner instructions I adjust my care schedule to thier needs. I either do drop in visits to a clients home or house sit in their home.

About: Howdy! :) I’m Skylar! I’m a kindergarten teacher and currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education at UT Austin. While completing my online program, I’m spending my time babysitting, pet sitting, and traveling, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of availability for your pets! I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, both personally and professionally. Growing up on my uncle’s cattle ranch, I gained hands-on experience caring for all kinds of furry friends. I’ve also cared for plenty of smaller pets, including dogs, cats, and hamsters. My background has given me experience with a wide variety of animals, personalities, and needs. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and experienced in creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’ll bring that same care and attention to your pets, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I absolutely love animals and would be thrilled to care for yours. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family! 🐾 I’m currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education through UT Austin, and my program is fully online. Because I’m not working a traditional job right now, my schedule is extremely flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care. I’m also able to give pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I do travel periodically while completing my degree, but I plan my trips around my pet-sitting commitments and only accept bookings when I know I’ll be fully available. I’d love to work with you and find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! 🐾 I’m big on communication and will send plenty of photos and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. For walks: I bring my own poop bags, but ask that you provide your pet’s usual collar/harness, leash, and any other equipment they need (such as dog shoes). Before our first walk, we’ll go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any safety expectations — including how they do around other dogs, whether they’re comfortable drinking water while out, and anything else I should know. We can stick to a familiar walking route, visit a dog park if you’re comfortable with that, or add games like fetch and playtime when your pup needs more energy burned than a walk alone. For boarding in my home: I have a fenced-in yard, access to a neighborhood dog park, two friendly cats, and a 15-lb fluffy white dog who absolutely loves other animals. I’ll always take your pet’s personality and comfort level into account when deciding how much interaction they have with my pets. For house sitting: I treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine — keeping things clean, respecting your space, and following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I especially love house sitting because I can work on my online master’s program while keeping your pet company, taking plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and for you to feel completely in the loop the whole time! ❤️🐶🐱

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Johnson City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Johnson City is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $19 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 2,288 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
