Dog Sitting in Jonesborough

About: I've taken care of pets for over 14 years. I currently have a 14 year old terrier mix and 9 year old pit bull mix. I'm very familiar with caring for senior dogs and any special needs they might need. I'm very comfortable administering any medication and sticking to a strict schedule because I know how important it is from personal expericance. If you're pet has a quirky habit or need, I'm your gal, no request is too odd! I know it can be so heartbreaking to leave your pets behind for a trip or work and I want to provide the comfort and peace of mind when they stay with me. I have lots of kisses to give and I love animals of any size! I am a work from home dog mom myself Mon-Fri so your pets can stay with me in my office all day. And I'm available most all weekends. I have a fenced in back yard that is about a quarter acre in a quiet neighborhood in the Boones Creek area of Johnson City. The back deck also has a gate at the top of the steps to provide extra security for the little ones or seniors who may have trouble. I am ok with animals being on the furniture so your pets can be as comfortable as possible in my home.

“Haley is absolutely wonderful! My pets don’t all make it easy, but I feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands. She puts in way more effort and patience than I expected, making sure each of my kiddos are well cared for.”

About: As a military spouse I have helped care for our dogs and many of our neighbors dogs as well. From large to small, I love dogs of all kinds. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and our own dog loves the company of other dogs. I am a mom and am in nursing school, but pet care is the highlight of my day. My schedule is open during weekends during the school semester, and outside of that I'm fulltime at home. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat friendly home. I also have children at home, but they are 10 and up. I prefer dogs crated at night, but during the day they are allowed to roam inside or out in the fenced backyard and will be well taken care of with lots of friendly petting in my home.

About: I am retired and want to help care for your pets while you are at work or on vacation. Been a pet owner for all of my adult life, life without pets, no way! I am retired and understand people need reliable people to take care of fur babies as needed. I will care for your pets as if they are my own!! I have 4.5 acres for dogs to play, daily walks, daily cuddles, whatever your pet needs I will take care of and you can be assured your pet is safe with my husband and I

“Took great care of my cat, and did a great job handling some unforseen troubles in the process. She also kept me updated as needed and was a pleasure to communicate with. Great sitter and would recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I could drive! My family, friends, and neighbors all trust me with their fur babies! I am currently in school full time for physical therapy at ETSU! I am normally available Mondays after 12:00 Wednesdays between 12-2:30 and after 5:00 Thursdays before 12:00 and after 5:00. I am in town a lot of weekends (when I am not visiting home) and would be available from 12:00 Friday through the whole weekend! I always keep dogs on a leash unless we are in a fenced-in area with other trusted animals. My #1 priority is for the dogs, myself, and everyone around me to be safe and happy!

About: I have grown up around and taken care of animals my whole life! Through having cats and dogs of my own, as well as helping friend’s and family with pet care, I am confident that I can provide excellent care to your pets! I am a true animal lover at heart, and would love the chance to get to know your fur babies I am currently a graduate student so I have a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I can work around your schedule, and am available 7 days a week. I value your comfortability as well as your pets! I know how important pets are, and placing their care in someone else’s hands can be a big decision. I want to make sure you are satisfied with my care so that your animals can feel as comfortable as possible. I am great at following instructions and want to honor your autonomy in the process of your pets care.

About: Hi! I’m currently a DPT student, which means my days can be busy—but spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I’ve always had a love for pets and understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. Even with a full academic schedule, I’m organized, responsible, and intentional with my time. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention—whether that’s getting their energy out on a walk or just relaxing and feeling comfortable at home. Pet care is also a meaningful way for me to help pay for school, so I’m grateful for every opportunity and take that responsibility seriously. Im a current physical therapy student but my summer class schedule is lighter. I don’t have full days of class so I have periods to leave for walking and potty breaks and I’m home most of the day Fri - Sunday now! If they are up for it, I can take them on trips around JC and to the dog park (I love off leash!) I can also be available for any overnight visits, and am usually free for a whole weekend. My apartment is close to downtown so has many walkable areas for your pets. There’s a big field next to my apartment that’s perfect for potty breaks. I can separate the upstairs from the downstairs if they need to be kept away from certain rooms, but they have plenty of room to roam in my apartment! In my clients home I can provide any services as needed such as walking them, playing in the yard, or crating.

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.

“Amber took great care of my dogs and gave me updates as well as taking pictures!”

About: I have taken care of pets of friends and family members for many years and had pets as a kid. I now have my own golden retriever who loves to have other animals to play with.

I have a very spacious house with plenty of room for the pets to run around and play. I have a membership at the local dog park to take them there to play as well. They will always have a buddy to play with as I have a one year old golden retriever who is very friendly to all.

“Amber has done a great job caring for Buddy, and he really likes her! He's a funny dog that won't hurt a flea, even though he looks mean from a distance. If you feed and pet him, he's your friend forever. I highly recommend Amber, and I'll be hiring her for all the time that I'm away from home.”
