Stacy did a great job caring for our 1 year old high energy Husky/Corgi mix and taking care of our home while we were away. We appreciated her experience with animals and it show in her ability to manage our high energy teenage pup who is also still adjusting from only being adopted a little under a month prior. Her regular photos and updates kept us at ease while we were away in these early stages and when we returned the house was just a we had left it. We look forward to having Stacy watch Frosty again and have already booked her again for our next in home sitting.

Diann was an awesome sitter for our Bowie & home. She provided regular pictures of Bowie, left our home in impeccable condition, and made our family vacation so much more stress free. My husband & I will definitely be booking with Diann again in the future. Highly recommended.

About: I have cared for animals for as long as I can remember and am excited to begin my journey on Rover! I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and clients, and I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I especially enjoy caring for active, energetic dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I also have experience administering medications and caring for puppies who need extra patience, supervision, and consistency. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I am dedicated to treating every animal as if they were my own. I also have an English Cocker Spaniel named Ollie, who reminds me every day how important quality care and love are for our furry family members. 🐾 As a college student currently on break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, feedings, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I have experience caring for puppies, administering medications, and handling energetic dogs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾🐶🐱

Christie was the absolute best dog sitter. She arranged a meet and greet before our trip. She texted when she was on her way to confirm her arrival. I received daily pictures and check ins and my house was left in perfect condition. She even washed dog textiles before we arrived home. Plus a last minute illness for one of our pups was no problem. She administered meds like the professional she is. We will use her again.

Logen is the best and my girls loved spending time with her while I was on vacation. She kept me updated throughout the days and even sent pictures. It was such a relief to know that Logen was taking care of my babies maybe even better than I do. I am pretty sure they were a little disappointed when I came home. Logen made sure my needy dog had her daily meditation and even took them on daily walks. I will definitely be using her for all my pet sitting needs!

About: I've been walking neighbors dogs since I was a small kid, volunteered at local animal shelters (walked their dogs), and also have cared for a senior dog (16 year-old poodle) before. I've learned to become patient with pets, especially when cleaning up accidents! I'm a college student at UTK, but I have open time in the mornings, afternoon, and night every weekday. UPDATED: Every weekday I'm available before 7am, then between 10-11:30pm, then my evening/night times vary based on work schedule. On weekends, I have meetings in the afternoons, but I can still care for pets in the morning and night. I'm confident in my cleanliness, care to detail, and love for pets. I'll care for pets with my whole heart, love them as I would love my own pets, and ensure the pets have a nice experience with me.

About: My services include walking, feeding, administering medicine including injections, cleaning pet areas and providing transportation when needed. I am prepared for emergencies, and I follow pre-discussed plans while communicating any concerns immediately. I have experience caring for a large number of animals, including horses, donkeys, pigs, goats chickens, reptiles, fish and domestic pets. No job is too big! I take care of houseplants, organic and hydroponic gardens. I am also a certified Reiki Practitioner (a form of alternative therapy) since 2011, and I am experienced with Reiki for large and small animals. My empathy and nurturing nature allow me to help pets feel comfortable and loved, offering you peace of mind. When I am not on a job as a home, pet and farm sitter, I volunteer at local animal shelters. I stay overnights as a pet sitter on weekends from Friday through Sunday nights only. I am available through the week for day sitting, drop-ins, pet walking and pet transportation. Caring for animals is more than just a job for me; it's a passion. With many years experience, I prioritize comfort and happiness, treating pets as my own while ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine.

About: I’ve worked in animal care for over two years now. I’ve worked at 2 different vets so I have experience with any type of breed/size! Pretty much any time in the day or night. I will pick up a service whenever I can either the day of or days in advance. I have had a big dog so i’ve learned how to keep them the most safe and others as well. I am very nonchalant so I can do whatever fits the clients needs.

About: I’ve raised one dog since he was a puppy. He is now almost 13, and another who’s now 6. I truly understand every stage of a dog’s life, from playful puppy energy to senior care and comfort. Over the years, I’ve also done off and on petsitting for neighbors, caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they always feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. My schedule varies weekly, so my availability may change. That said, I communicate promptly, confirm visits ahead of time, and make sure all pets are able to receive consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to all instructions closely, from feeding times to preferred walking routes. I always provide photo updates and check ins so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve been in rescue for about 6 years now! I’ve fostered over 200 animals, whether it be dogs, puppies, kittens, cats, and even done hospice. I’m experienced in giving medication as well as neonatal care. I’d love to branch out in animal care and start caring for animals outside the shelter, which is why I’m here! :)) I have two dogs of my own Joey and Pickles they are the sweetest seniors. And my cat Joseph is the spunkiest kitty, they are my family! I currently work at home, with my hours up to me. I’d love to incorporate my love for animals as much as possible in my open schedule! I’m a rule follower, so whatever’s needed I’ll make sure it gets done. Walking w harness? No problem. Crating to feed? Roger that.

About: I have been around animals since the day i was born, ranging from simple house pets to farm animals to rodents! In high school I attended a veterinary school where I learned all kinds of information about all kinds of pets. There is not an animal in this world I do not love! I have a very open schedule, so I can spend as much time as needed on all the fur babies! My cats get specific care given every day such as feedings, enrichment and love! I have two cats of my own that I treat like literal human beings, proper pet care is extremely important to me. All animals deserve respect regardless of breed or behaviors!

About: I’ve stayed in houses caring for multiple pets such as dogs and cats. One home had 5 dogs, 2 whom were blind, and all puppies used pads to use the restroom. All puppies had a specific eating regimen that I had no problem taking notes on and catering to. I’ve dropped in to feed cats, but being a cat mom myself, I do not mind spending quality time with the kitties! I’m a middle school teacher, so pet sitting is reserved for after school hours, during Fall, Winter, and/or Summer breaks. I’m flexible and communicate often and quickly! For my personal cats, I spoil them like crazy! They have all of the toys they could ask for and I play with them often. I can tell when they’re ready to cuddle and relax, and I love this time! They take a nap on my lap and I get to crochet! I love on others pets the same way. If there’s a treat station and a favorite toy, let me know so I can spoil the clients pets too! I’ve watched plenty of older pets who just need a companion to sit on the couch with them, so I always bring my crochet things to fill the time.

All I can say is Gad is awesome.we just completed a two week trip and Gad took care of our fur babies while we were gone . Our dogs loved him and he spent a lot of time with them. They are both senior dogs and need a lot of care . Pills twice a day etc… and Gad went over and beyond expectations. One of my dogs wasn’t eating for a couple of days and Gad even bought him chicken and grilled it on the grill for him . Well needless to say my dog ate . Gad is very respectful and very responsible. I would highly recommended Gad .

We found Margaret here and immediately felt a good connection with her. At our first meeting, we could tell she would be a great fit watching over our fur kids and home while we’re away. She takes extensive notes on their care instructions, asked questions that I hadn’t thought of. This week, while we were away, she sent us numerous pics of the fur kids. They seemed quite content and happy in our absence. We will definitely utilize Margaret’s services again when we travel, and most certainly recommend Margaret to our friends and family! Thanks again, Margaret!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kingsport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Kingsport on Rover is $43.44 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 204 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kingsport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kingsport walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kingsport maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kingsport choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
