“Two thumbs and four paws up!! Becca was a joy to work with. Our home and old pup were in great hands with her. She promptly responded to all of our communucations and made the whole process painless, so we could concentrate on enjoying our time away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years, starting in a multi-pet household and continuing as a trusted sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience administering medications—both oral and topical. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, mealtime, or snuggles, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away I’m currently in between jobs, so I have open availability through early August—including weekdays, weekends, and even short-notice bookings. Once my new job starts, I’ll still be available most weekday evenings and weekends unless I’m out of town. I do this because I genuinely love animals—pet sitting doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s something I truly enjoy, and it’s always rewarding to spend time with animals, care for them, and earn their trust. I’m most comfortable house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment—it’s usually less stressful for them, and I love making sure they stay relaxed and happy while you’re away. I’m great with cats and dogs alike, and I have lots of experience managing routines, giving meds, and keeping things tidy. I do have one friendly dog at home, and while I can host in emergencies, I typically prefer to care for your pets in their own space so they feel safe and settled. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are always my priority.
“I am very happy with Louise staying with Toby. She spent a lot of time with him; was successful at getting my picky dog to eat. Louise sent me pictures and I was very comfortable with Louise. I would recommend her highly”
“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”
“Opal always does a great job watching my dogs. They were snuggling up with her before I even left the house. She is also great at sending updates like pictures and she was respectful of my house and didn't leave a mess or anything!”
“Kyleigh took care of our post-op senior dogs over several days, and everything was wonderful. She gave them meds, removed the cones for meal time, and made sure they were snuggled and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and respectful caregiver. Highly recommended!”
“Kathryn did a fantastic job. On time and kept everything clean, one of our frenchies tested her and acted out but she handled it well. We would love to use her again!”
“First time using Rover for my 2 girls, and Kylene was very patient and loving towards them. They were very well taken care of, and I will definitely be rebooking in the near future!”
“Highly recommend!! Natasha is responsible , thoughtful and easy to work with!! I appreciated that she stayed in communication with us while we were gone.”
“Grace stayed overnight with my 3 month old puppy. She spent the whole night with him, kept up with his feeding and potty schedule and my aparment was exactly how I left it when I got back. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet they love!”
“Ashlynn was great! She kept us updated on Emmitt everyday. He was well-loved while we were gone. Will definitely use again. Highly recommend!”
“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.
“Suzanne stayed in my house for about a week, and took full charge of our two big old shepherd mixes. If I had to think of one little thing that I would have, had Suzanne do differently, I wouldn’t be able to. She was self-sufficient, communicative, dedicated to the well-being and fun of both dogs, observant, and incredibly confident in her quiet unintrusive way. She has moved an hour north of the Asheville area, but if I could clone her, I absolutely would.”
About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs. Puppies, kittens, and senior animals are welcome. I am familiar with basic first aid and am familiar with the body language of most dogs. I can easily serve the Johnson City, Jonesborough, and the greater Tri-Cities area. I have reliable transportation. I am also available on most federal holidays. I'm happy to provide photos delivered electronically for each visit. I am clean and you can trust that your pets and welfare of your home are my top priority.
“Amanda was great. Sent updates and pics of the dogs having a fun time! Definitely book her to hang out with your animals.”
“All of Lucy’s dietary and medication requirements were followed and met. Was sent frequent updates and pictures of how she was doing. My apartment was exactly the way I had left it upon return. Trustworthy and reliable. Would book again.”
About: I have more than 3 decades of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I am also experienced with many animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, amphibians, other small mammals). I will care for your pet just as if it were my own. I want you to feel safe leaving your pets in my hands. If you need a dependable, kind, animal lover please contact me with your needs. I love meeting new animals. Every animal has a unique personality and I look forward to meeting you and your pet. Thank you. Im available 24/7 for all of your pet care needs.

Elizabeth W.
“I have had the privilege of having Elizabeth pet sit for me several times throughout the past year. As a fur-loving mother, finding someone you trust to care for your animals when you are gone is emotionally and physically trying. Elizabeth demonstrated characteristics or care, love, and patience for my dogs and cat. She was an excellent communicator and a great companion for my animals. I would recommend Elizabeth for any friend or family member in need of care for their pets. She truly made the travel process so much easier and put my mind to ease.”

Katlyn H.
“Katlyn is great with our dogs. We have 7 beagles and 1 full sized bluetick coon hound. When she stops by to visit before a stay they all are so excited to see her. We don't have to worry when we have to be out of town or want to take a vacation because we know she will love them like her own. She's so good I don't want to share her!! I'll have to put my dates in early to make sure I don't ever miss out.”

Tyler W.
“I cannot say enough good things about Tyler! I have a large, energetic dog who loves to pull and can be a real handful on walks. I’ve always been super hesitant to leave him with anyone because of that, but Tyler handled him with total confidence. He’s strong, calm, and clearly experienced—my dog actually came back tired, which never happens! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Tyler also kept me updated with photos and little check-ins which I really appreciated. Will definitely book him again!”
