Personalized care for your dog or cat - Poplar
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Poplar
“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Was so pleased with Lorna! I left my sweet 16 month old Boston terrier with her and she sent many pictures and Queenie was so happy when I picked her up :) have already rebooked for another weekend with her!!!”
“Sabrina was Great will Miss Ellie!! She was attentive and flexible to her needs. I received great feedback along with pictures and videos while I was away. Ellie was running and playing when I arrived to pick her up! Love Miss Sabrina!!!”
“I am so fortunate to have found Carola - not only did she take fantastic care of my two Brussels Griffon, she also prepared homemade food for them when they had upset bellies. They had a great time going on walks and playing with her and I can tell enjoyed their time with her. I greatly appreciate everything she did for them.”
“Amy and Jason are amazing!! Very welcoming!! Prepared; Mochi is part of their family when there, they treat her as one of their own! Could not have asked for more…Mochi returns home very calm and gets back into real life at home quickly. Thank you! If you are hesitant; don’t be!!”
“Cassandra was AMAZING with Boo! She sent me updates and pictures everyday— I could tell my doggy was very happy and safe! Can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. Will definitely be requesting her dog sitting services again… highly recommend! 🫶🫶🫶”
“Joseph and Andrea were great! My dog was on a rice and chicken diet for the beginning of the stay and they had no problem accommodating. They sent pictures and updates everyday. When I picked my dog up, he seemed very happy and well taken care of! He must have played quite a bit considering he fell asleep in the car on the way home which I’m more than happy with! Overall between my experience as an owner and my dog’s health and behavior when I picked him up, it was a 10/10 experience.”
“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”
“Rex had a blast staying with Brody! Rex came home a tired pup (a good thing!). Brody made me feel very comfortable leaving Rex with him- I knew he would be well taken care off! Will definitely use him again!!!”
“Jessica and John spent much quality time with my dog, Charlie. He was well cared for and was in good spirits when he got home. I am so glad to find a good fit for my dog while I travel.”
“Olivia took such great care of my girl! She made everything super easy and convenient for us. She was attentive to all of Benelli’s needs and she even sent regular updates so that I knew how she was doing. I would absolutely recommend her services!!”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”
“Lilly has been so good. I have boarded my Aussie-doodle with her twice now and each time she has been sad to leave at the end of the stay. It’s also nice that she’s close to town. Will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“Hannah was so wonderful!! I am beyond grateful for her and her family. She took regular pictures and sent me updates throughout his stay. They snuggled and loved on our “baby” just as we would have, and he was so much happier with Hannah and her family then he ever was anywhere else!!”
“Willow loved her stay with Daniella. We will definitely use her again. She sent pictures that made me feel we didn’t need to worry about Willow while we were gone. A real relief about having to leave her.”
“I can not say enough good things about Lori, I was in a jam and Lori helped me out last minute watching my 2 puppies on a Holiday weekend. She could have over charged me like one of the dog sitters on here tried to do but she did not. She sent me pictures several times a day and even video's which was awesome. I will definitely be reaching out to her again on my next trip. Thank you so much Lori you were wonderful with my puppies.”
“I took a chance. We were in a huge bind. We have amazing friends that loooove their critters and they trusted Danielle. She had an opening and we went purely on faith. We couldn't be happier that our Daisy actually wasn't all that happy to see her "favorite" person in the world pick her up this morning. I was a little shocked that she wasn't all over my husband when he picked her up this morning. But, it's an incredible feeling knowing she felt that safe and spoiled without him.”

“I can't imagine a better pet/house sitter. The cats are often either especially needy or even standoffish when I come back from a trip but this time they treated me like I'd just gone for a walk, fell back into their usual routine, which is exactly what you want. Summer left the house better than when I handed it to her, had extra sheets washed etc etc. Over and above.”
About: I have been a cat owner multiple times throughout my life and look forward to treating your kitties like they were my own. Happy to send daily pictures to show how happy they are.
About: I have taken care of cats in a vet clinic setting. But I also have one cat of my own. I don’t mind old and spicy or young and crazy as I’ve seen all the above. But with enough treats and playing I’m sure to make it easier on both of us.
“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and volunteer work. I previously owned cats and currently volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I help care for cats with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. Whether a cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, I take the time to earn their trust and help them feel safe and comfortable. I understand the importance of maintaining their routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving each cat the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so both you and your cat have peace of mind.

“Sydney is amazing!! She helped me out with my puppy very last minute. She always came on time and followed instructions perfectly! Even though my dog gave her some difficulty in the beginning she was patient and quickly made him feel very comfortable with her. She always sent photos and updates with each visit. I highly recommend her! We cannot thank you enough!”
About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue sanctuary for 10+ years. As a caretaker my duties at the sanctuary require demanding physical labor, housekeeping, and responsibilities of supervision over animals and other volunteers. We had over 100+ different types of animals and always have been around dogs and cats! They are my joy! I work 2 full time jobs but I have mornings, evenings and weekends open! I am looking for something that will fit into that kind of schedule. I have no animals at home. It is safe and a very clean environment. I am the most respectful and will aways listen to what you and your pets need.
About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I work fully remote and am willing to travel. I would be able to give full attention to your pets. Since my job is remote, it gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Most of my days are spent behind a monitor working. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy

We’ll definitely use her again should our need arise! Thank you Amber!”

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.

Having a big family gave me plenty of opportunities to learn and grow with different animals I attend college two days a week and work the night shift at my job! My day starts pretty early so I have a little too much free time and would love to spend it caring for animals! As long as the animal is provided with every basic essential it needs I will go above and beyond to tend to every need your pet has
“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for pets every day. I currently help care for four dogs, giving me daily experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, and meeting the needs of multiple pets. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I help care for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I have previously owned cats, which has given me a strong understanding of feline behavior and care. I am patient, dependable, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part-time at Fish Springs Marina, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting before and after work, as well as on many weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping each pet on their normal routine. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I always keep pets secure by using leashes during walks, ensuring gates and doors are closed, and paying close attention to their behavior and needs. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, trustworthy hands.

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.

“Natasha has done WONDERFUL with my pup! She’s one of the few we’ve met that Bleu trusted right away and didn’t bark upon meeting her with me! She has been on time and Bleu seems to really be happy when I get home - so I know she’s doing great with her!”

I have experience with all kinds of different breeds and personalities! My husband, Josh, and I live in our camper van, so we are able to provide constant care for your pets while you're away. When you book us for overnight sits, we take care of your pets and stay in your home as a team of professional petsitters. Josh works remotely in IT, and I work some weekends in the wedding industry, so with no physical, daily job to go to and no house/pets of our own to check on, we are able to spend a significant amount of our time taking care of your pets. A bonus of our luxury care is that your pets will get double the love and attention from us throughout the day; our goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and for them to hardly know you're gone! Living in a van and working remotely comes with so much flexibility for us and our Rover clients. Pet parents value the level of care we're able to provide with our nomadic lifestyle. Petcare is my full-time job, so when you book us for a housesit, that is my main priority. While I'm the main caretaker, Josh learns about your pets' care needs and helps out a ton as well, especially if I have to work a wedding or I need to do drop-ins/dog walks. We work great as a team to meet your pets’ needs and to keep their normal routine. We take the safety of your pets and the care of your home very serious. If you have pets that require special attention or have high anxiety, we are there to ensure everyone is safe, relaxed, and taken care of.

“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Sabrina was Great will Miss Ellie!! She was attentive and flexible to her needs. I received great feedback along with pictures and videos while I was away. Ellie was running and playing when I arrived to pick her up! Love Miss Sabrina!!!”
“Cassandra was AMAZING with Boo! She sent me updates and pictures everyday— I could tell my doggy was very happy and safe! Can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. Will definitely be requesting her dog sitting services again… highly recommend! 🫶🫶🫶”
“Joseph and Andrea were great! My dog was on a rice and chicken diet for the beginning of the stay and they had no problem accommodating. They sent pictures and updates everyday. When I picked my dog up, he seemed very happy and well taken care of! He must have played quite a bit considering he fell asleep in the car on the way home which I’m more than happy with! Overall between my experience as an owner and my dog’s health and behavior when I picked him up, it was a 10/10 experience.”
“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”
“Rex had a blast staying with Brody! Rex came home a tired pup (a good thing!). Brody made me feel very comfortable leaving Rex with him- I knew he would be well taken care off! Will definitely use him again!!!”
“Jessica and John spent much quality time with my dog, Charlie. He was well cared for and was in good spirits when he got home. I am so glad to find a good fit for my dog while I travel.”
“Lilly has been so good. I have boarded my Aussie-doodle with her twice now and each time she has been sad to leave at the end of the stay. It’s also nice that she’s close to town. Will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“Hannah was so wonderful!! I am beyond grateful for her and her family. She took regular pictures and sent me updates throughout his stay. They snuggled and loved on our “baby” just as we would have, and he was so much happier with Hannah and her family then he ever was anywhere else!!”
“Willow loved her stay with Daniella. We will definitely use her again. She sent pictures that made me feel we didn’t need to worry about Willow while we were gone. A real relief about having to leave her.”
“Fantastic! This was our first time using and dog sitter. We were a little nervous at first. But Stephanie took great care of our dog. She even sent daily photos to verify that our dog was enjoying her "dogcation". She did! In fact, we were a little concerned that she wouldn't want to come home.?? Stephanie is our preferred dog sitter anytime we leave town.”
About: I have had dogs, cats, birds, and much more animals my entire life. I love taking care of animals and have done it for friends and family for years. I’m very active and love walks and runs! I have 3 animals of my own including 2 dogs and a cat. I have taken care of baby, Senior, adult, healthy, and sick animals. I’m an animal lover and love meeting new people and animals. I have a lot of knowledge with animals for the simple fact that I have been around 100’s my entire life, from saving strays to having pets. I live in Weaverville and would love to help out with taking care of your pet or pets! I work all day but could be flexible. Im a personal trainer, my hours are 4am-2/3pm. I am available with at least a week notice. I can help on M-F and weekends with drop ins and walks. I have a yard as well as 2 friendly playful dogs. I have crates as well as separated floors that are gated off in my home that always help.
“Could not have been more pleased with our experience! Rita and Joe gave our pups the most amazing home for the week, and they truly treated them like their own. We were at ease during our entire trip away knowing they were in such good hands. There aren’t enough stars and good words that I have for them, and I feel so comfortable knowing our dogs will always have a home away from home!”
“Hannah is the BEST!!! Highly recommended. I immediately felt like I was dealing with someone who has it together which gave me peace of mind that Moses was in good hands. She was friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates. At no point was I worried about my sweet pooch. Thank you, Hannah. You’re greatly appreciated.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Emma is amazing. Her set up is ideal and the outside play space is large and well maintained. Dezi was well cared for and we returned to a happy, healthy pup. I heartilly recommend Emma for pet's care.”
