Personalized care for your dog or cat - Mayday
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mayday
“I can't even express how much I appreciate Lorna taking such great care of Jasper. It's hard to really know if your pet is being taken care of when you leave them but I can tell by how he reacts when I get him back that he was treated very well. She always sends pics and videos that shows me he's thriving. This was my second time using Lorna and even though it's a bit of a drive for me it's worth it to know she treats him like her own.”
“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!!”
“Samuel and Erica were great! I got lots of pictures and feedback. Samuel and Erica have Lana well trained as others have stated, and it’s evident. Moose settled in with them pretty quickly. Moose is small and didn’t want to play. They both learned to peacefully co-exist just as Samuel and Erica have experienced with other small pups. I highly recommend them!”
“Cassandra was amazing with our pup. She sent so many pictures, videos, and updates everyday. We could tell our sweet girl was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. We were so thankful knowing our girl was in good hands and will definitely use Cassandra in the future.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!!”
“Carly was amazing with our dog Cece. She took our booking pretty last minute and was super accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Cece loved running around in her backyard!”
“Can’t recommend Hannah enough! She has been SO great to work with, has the best yard for playing, sent lots of pictures/updates, and our dog loves the whole family! We’re so happy to have found her, and are looking forward to more stays in the future!”
“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.”
“Samantha took great care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. We appreciated her updates and had no worries while they were with her. We would definitely book boarding services with her again!”
“Ms. Rita and Joe were great! I felt at ease the entire week my 2 dogs were away. She handled my tiny 5 lb dog perfectly as well as my 75 lb dog! Glad to have found a place for our pups in the future!”
“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“Lori was an absolute pleasure. She sent plenty of photos and videos of our baby, and was very communicative. Would recommend to anyone. Will definitely request dog sitting again in the future.”
“Amber was great with Mr B. We were kept in the loop regarding what he was up to with photos and messages and he was a happy pup when we picked him up:) Mr B had a great time with Lukas, Amber’s dog. Thank you Amber :))”
“Lilly was so wonderful! She took such great care of Buddy. She sent updates with pictures and a video! ? We would definitely recommend her and will be asking for services for Buddy again.”

“I’ve used Danielle several times now, and she’s been amazing every single time! One time she cared for our 4 cats for 10 days and I was completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. My cats absolutely adore her, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Taylor was great with our cats while we were away! She sent updates and photos and went out of her way when one wasn't seen for a couple of days. She asked neighbors if they had seen her and left food and water out in case she returned when she wasn't there. She also played with them and cleaned up their food and litter areas efficiently. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!”
“Hailey did an amazing job watching Roxas over the past couple days! She made sure he was as comfortable as possible and made sure to send me plenty of pictures and updates too! She was super on top of the communication! Hailey is definitely someone I would recommend!”
“Christy catered to a last-minute request for a couple of drop-ins while I was out of town for a couple of nights. I had already booked her for a longer stay in the future, but I’m glad I added this additional session so she could get familiar with my Blueberry and he could get used to her. Needless to say, he adapted very well. Christy communicated very proactively and sent pictures often. Very much appreciated care for my baby.”
“Leeanna did a great job feeding and caring for the dogs, cats and even the horses! She exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend her anyone who is looking for help with their animals during their absences. I will be asking her to feed for me in the future!”
“Erin dropped in on our cats while we were away. We enjoyed seeing pictures of them! Excellent communication and took care of them as we had instructed. Highly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’m happy to care for them on their terms. I have experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and caring for senior cats. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone who pays attention to the little things—changes in appetite, behavior, or routine. I’ll make sure your cat receives plenty of care, affection, and attention.
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.
“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 over 45 yrs of experience in pet care. I was a dog trainer (now partially retired), owned my own pet sitting business for many years, fostered/adopted many rescues and I currently volunteer at and support several rescues. Animals are my heart and soul and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time and I will make myself available for your pet 24/7 whether it's late night potty trips outside or long walks during the day. I will care for your pets however you would like. I can do long walks, short walks, provide medications, specially prepared meals, play games, etc. I specialized in elderly dogs, hospice dogs and medical needs dogs when I fostered.
About: Servicing Jonesborough, Johnson city, Erwin, and surrounding areas! Very flexible for the holidays :). I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats in all types of situations. I have 2 years experience as a periodical live-in dogsitter. I've had and cared for animals for 9 years. I grew up in the country and sometimes animals would show up at my family's door. We have raised 4 stray cats, a litter of kittens, and a litter of puppies. I will do almost any pet-related task, it is hard to gross me out. I plan on caring for pets over the holiday period, and am not looking for any full-time positions. I will be here from mid December-mid january, but can pet sit 24 hours a day 7 days a week during that time. I am a fairly laid-back pet owner and deeply care for my animals. Your pet will get lots of love and attention. I am willing to help potty train/discipline to the owner's discretion, but I always prefer positive reinforcement. I can administer pet medications and be very watchful and present.

“Amber did a great job taking care of our 10 lb poodle! She has a very friendly dog of her own and took special care introducing them to one another! Her home is clean, neat and cozy! We did doggy day care she walked Lucky 2 times in four hours! When we found out we’d be late on the pick up, she responded immediately and said no problem! We’ll definitely use her again should our need arise! Thank you Amber!”
“Rita was wonderful with my baby, Harper! She made sure Harper was comfortable in the setting and greeting process, then introduced her to the other dogs in her care that day. I will definitely use Rita for daycare and overnight stays in the future.”
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.
“I was worried about leaving my Maggie with a stranger but as soon as I met Mikayla my worry disapaited. She clearly loves dogs and Maggie loved being there. She came home and slept for hours.”
“Ringo had a great time with Carola! She was very friendly and responsible, ensuring that Ringo was safe and well taken care of. If I were in the Nelson area, I would definitely book with her again.”

They will always have a buddy to play with as I have a one year old golden retriever who is very friendly to all.
“Jennifer is just AMAZING!!! A true dog lover Hippie just walk away with her wagging his tail as he knew her! She went above and beyond with our beloved Senior doggie as he is needing some extra work and I’m tremendously thankful for that. She sent me pictures and updates constantly and that gave me peace of mind so we could enjoy our gateway trip to the fullest; also her home is really convenient if your going to spend the day at Gatlinburg and that is just a plus! If we go back, I will rebook with her in a heartbeat! Thank you Jennifer and Thank you Willow ?”

About: Retired couple with love to spare... and your pets will love us! We are especially patient with puppies and seniors, but love to romp with active adult dogs, too! We're very happy to help you. My schedule is wide open. Recently finished working in a eldercare hospice arrangement and that assignment is now complete. Looking to provide care in another way. Treating your baby with love and your home with respect are top priorities for me. Being trusted in your home and with your pet(s) is an honor.
About: I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra attention. My background in pharmacy has made me comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and recognizing changes in health or behavior. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog needs overnight companionship, medication administration, regular walks, feeding, or extra support due to age or mobility issues, I’m committed to keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a college student taking online summer classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. When I’m not studying, reading, or completing coursework, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and spending time outdoors. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and being around them. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and give them the companionship and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing attentive care for the pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Taylor - your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I absolutely love all animals (big, small, furry, feathery - you name it!). I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for several years now, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do… it’s who I am. I have a background in emergency veterinary medicine, which means I’m calm under pressure and know how to recognize when something isn’t quite right. I currently work in general practice veterinary medicine, so I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, snuggles, medication, or just someone trustworthy to hang out with, I’ve got it covered.

About: I have lives and worked with all kinds of animals in all stages of live but I most work with seniors, dogs, and cats.. . I’m currently working weekdays from 10am to 4pm, however my MWF are outside of Johnson City by at least 30 minutes. Tuesdays and Thursdays are available to short walks and drop-in around the Johnson City area. Unfortunately , I live in an apartment with a 1 pet policy and there is little space to accommodate anything other than a cat. .
About: I am a single middle age compassionate, loving female who will absolutely show your dog or cat the most love and affection he or she has ever known! I do not have children and I believe our pets are a reflection of our own soul and speak to us through the way they interact with us. If we have had a bad day, they know. If we have had a good day, they know that too! This is my only job so my schedule is pretty open to meeting the needs of you and your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pooch or kitty for lots of love! I am a retired veteran so caring for your fur baby is my #1 priority. Check my schedule on the Rover app. Let me be your preferred sitter! I can accommodate your pet by house sitting in your home. I feel that pets thrive in their own environment and their own routines with the least amount of stress possible.

About: I absolutely love dogs! Since I can’t have one while in college, pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with them.

I dog sit on the side because I love it! I am open to caring for the dog however the owner needs me to! I am willing to take them to a park, give meds, go on walks, etc.
About: I have at least 15 years of personal pet experience and have worked with domestic and exotic animals as a zoo keeper for over 8 years! I work a full time job but would be happy to stop by during lunch and after work to look after your pets or take them for a walk I have a fenced in yard and two dogs that enjoy other dogs. I also have two cats that like being around other dogs as long as your pets are ok with that.

I’m currently employed but have every other weekend off.Also,have Wednesday and Thursday off so am available at all times those days if I am needed. I have 3 acres for your pups to enjoy. Also have 3 pups to keep your dog company. I can crate your pup if need or give them meds.
About: Animals are my absolute passion! I am currently a major in biology and I have 3 years combined working with animals from dog boarding facilities and veterinary clinics. In my free time I have been pet sitting for years as well! Both dogs and cats are in good hands! I work part time with a flexible schedule so it is easy for me to make time to accommodate! It is preferred that there is a notice, so I can make changes to my schedule as needed In my clients home I do exactly what is instructed to me and respect the boundaries that are set by the client. And of course, leave the animals happy and healthy.
About: What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to each pet - I take time to learn their routine, quirks, and what makes them happy. I’m reliable, caring, and always aim to make their time with me fun, safe, and stress-free. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally- morning feeds, walks, and playtime are part of the daily rhythm. On the weekends, I do things like bathe and cleaning up their space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely. I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable while keeping everything clean and consistent.
About: I believe dogs, like people, need exercise and play time, and lots of love! I am so excited to play with your dogs! I will treat your pets and your home with the care and affection I would exercise on my own home. Animals and hiking are my true passions, so being out in nature with your pup is always a dream come true for me. We will stay active and engaged together to distract them from how much they miss you. Please check out my ample references. I have owned, cared for, and trained dogs all my life, and I love to fill my life with their infectious positivity. I am comfortable with all sizes and temperaments. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns, and I will reply as soon as possible! I like to help anyone who needs help! People aren't traveling as much as they used to, so I also clean houses, refinish decks, and am a notary public. I prioritize the pet care, and make my other puzzle pieces fit around your fur babies. I have 24.5 acres- 22 of it is an extensive old forest network with trails weaving around. The meadow area would make a great place to play fetch and enjoy the environment. The attention, exercise and great smelling work will keep your dog engaged and happy in your absence.
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.

“Joy is wonderful and I am so glad to have found her! My dog is anxious and can be tough sometimes, but he took to her right away and actually cried at the door when she left. Highly recommend!!”

Would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
