About: I will continue your ways of interacting with your dogs. I will tailor my approach to your fur baby. I am experienced in the delicate handling of senior pets, including mobility assistance, administering oral or topical medications, and monitoring for subtle changes in health or behavior. For young pets, I reinforce your specific training cues and house-breaking routines to ensure consistency while you're away, helping them stay on track with their development. I use positive reinforcement and a calm energy to manage high-anxiety pets or those who are easily overstimulated, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I’ll send you consistent updates and photos so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving, giving you total peace of mind. Would you like to discuss a custom care plan or schedule a meet-and-greet to see how I interact with your pet? I've been around dogs all my life and will treat your pet like I treat my own. I'm retired. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. Plenty of time to play, walk and snuggle with your fur baby! Our yard is not fenced. We have 10+ acres to take walks. We have 3 dogs who love to play. Our pack is very excepting and inclusive.

“Thank you Ken. You are the best! We truly appreciate you and are so glad we found you on rover several years ago, you are fantastic! Highly recommended Ken to all animal parents!”

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.

“Jennifer was outstanding. Came by for a quick meet & greet before the single day service. Was even available on short notice. Book with confidence that she'll take good care of your fur-baby.”

“Savanah was fantastic! Will definitely be booking with her again if I am ever in need of someone to watch my pets. She took great care of them, always communicated, and took excellent care of my home as well. She is very trustworthy and I’ve truly had a great experience with her!!”

About: Hi! I’m Dodger, and I’m an artist and student who would love to help take care of your furry friends! I’ve had dogs and cats (and a number of other pets) since I was born. My first babysitter was a lab/chow mix. I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, and a teenage human at home. I’ve been pet sitting professionally on and off since I was about 15, and just moved to Johnson City to go back to school. I am looking to build up a network of pet owners here! I’m an actor, musician, and visual artist. I love all types of animals, but I’m a sucker for giant dogs that could definitely take me down if they get too excited. I’d love to meet you and your pets, and am fully vaccinated! Can’t wait to hear from you! I am a full-time non-traditional student, but I’m rarely unavailable for longer than 6 hours at a time. I always prioritize the pets in my care, and never take a booking that conflicts with my schedule in such a way that your pets would be negatively affected. My clients (human and otherwise) are always my top concern. I know how stressful it can be for both you and your pet to trust someone new when you’re not around. This is one reason that I mostly care for pets in their own homes. I also make sure to send pictures every day, keep owners up-to-date on what their pets are up to, and try to make the pets feel extra special.

About: I have had pets my whole life! I love walks and hikes, am super clean and reliable, and want to give your pet great care! I work 9am-5pm Monday- Friday. I am free most weekends. I am able to host pets, house sit, or just walk your furry friends when needed! I have a large backyard, live walking distance to trails in a quite neighborhood for safe walks. I do not have any pets at this time, all floors are laminated, with a good amount of space. I keep a clean environment, with chewable or breakable items out of reach!

“My puppy loves spending time with Lori. Lori has a sweet spirit and she is a special lady. She is wonderful with my 12 week old fur baby. They formed an instant bond. She met us ahead to be sure to get the details of the drop-in. Lori sent photos and videos of her progress with our puppy while we were away. She is very knowledgeable about training our rambunctious little guy to obey her commands. We are very impressed and can tell the difference she is making. We can't wait until we see her again. She is amazing!”

“Jenna was terrific and we will definitely book her for any future trips! Both of our dogs got along great with her right away! During the morning and evening Drop-In visits, one of our dogs needed medication and special food. Jenna was more than accommodating with giving the medication/food and provided updates on how the dogs were doing and pics of each visit. We really appreciated Jenna's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule too. Jenna also left our house in great condition! Jenna - thank you for taking such great care of Coco and Bella so we didn't have to worry about them while we were out of town!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.
