“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!”

“Carola is such a wonderful pet sitter!! She takes such good care of my Susie; she sends me daily photos & updates & I never have to worry about Susie’s well being. Carola is a blessing to our family 😊”

“Sabrina is an incredible dog sitter! She gave my pups so much love and attention and made sure they got plenty of exercise. She even bought them toys, bones, and helped train them. She has a nice fence in yard with an entire dog playground! She also kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. She’s incredibly kind as well.”

“Love that we have someone we can trust with our fur baby! Cassandra is so good with our Pepper who is always so excited to see her. Cassandra was even great about being flexible with time for us. 💯 recommend her!”

“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!!”

“I needed someone to watch my sweet girl tootsi for a couple of days at the last minute and I’m so thankful I found Dianna! She and her doggo tonka welcomed tootsi in their home like she was apart of their family. Tootsi was happy when I picked her up, and Dianna even gave her a toy to go home with when she didn’t have to do that at all! I really appreciate how kind and welcoming she was & will be booking again if I ever need to! I also appreciate all the cute and funny videos and pics I got while I was away. 5/5☺️ !”

About: I’m a local college student with a super flexible schedule and exited attitude to help out whenever I can! I love animals and have been taking care of them since I was around 10. I have experienced house sitting and also watching pets from my own home. I currently don’t have pets of my own making it a great environment to offer my home up to help others. I look forward to creating new relationships with clients and their fur babies! My schedule is currently fully open with it being summer time and I’m looking to fill this time with new bookings! I am able to give my full attention to the pet and can adapt to their needs! I have a fenced in yard and live in a great neighborhood to walk in. I also do no have pets only own making it easier to watch your pet as well! I always want to put the pets needs first and make sure they are getting quality care!
About: I have been caring for pets for almost 60 years and treat every pet as my own. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I foucs on making each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand routines matter, so I pay close attention to your pet's needs and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages. My goal is always for you to feel confident and for your pet to feel right at home. Retired, reliable, and available full-time to help with your pet-sitting needs. Happy to love on those furry friends whenever it benefits their owners. I have housed dogs and cats all my life. My home is safe and animal-friendly. I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”

“Hailey is personable and a good communicator. She sent us multiple pictures of our fur baby daily. She is also very caring and responsible. She provided ample time outdoors for our dog and was receptive to her needs. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Kaitlyn accepted our request at last minute and was flexible with pickup when our flight got delayed. She kept us updated with message and pictures. Mylles loved his stay there. I will definitely use her service again.”

“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!”

“Jennifer and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Maggie. She appeared to fit right in! Very convenient to the Kingsport area, rates are fair, and they are exceptionally friendly.”

“I loved how responsive Lori was both when making the booking and providing updates when she had my dog Flash staying with her. She was very flexible and accommodating, and her wealth of experience with dogs gave me great peace of mind about leaving Flash with her. I recommend Lori to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”

“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 and her family were just what my 2 pups needed for our 2 day trip. She was respectful of our requests (no pups on furniture), and offered the right amount and frequency of communication while we were away to assure us our kiddos were behaving, safe, and happy. Her small female dog was also seemingly acclimated to having 'guests'. Would definitely recommend.”

“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.”

“Always wonderful to see Rhemy happy and worn out. I know he's picky about eating when he's not with his people. So I appreciate the honesty that he didn't eat his whole bag of food. Faith you did a wonderful job with him! I hope to continue to have you Rover-Sit Rhemy cause he loves your company. Rhemy is home and comfy and napping now. Awesome job as always, TY Faith!”

“Allison was wonderful with my boys. She clearly loves what she does, goes above and beyond, takes/sends the cutest pictures/videos! I know my cats are in very good hands with her! I will definitely book her again!”

“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!”

“Absolutely amazing babysitter for my fur baby made me feel like my cat ginger was in good hands and updating me regularly throughout the day with videos and pictures and made sure she was fed or watered and had fun playing with toys would highly recommend her for your pet”


“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.”


“Alyssa did an excellent job checking in on our cat Stella while we were away. Stella is usually very shy around strangers, but we could tell that she had taken to Alyssa because she was happy and well-groomed. Alyssa made sure she had food and water and a clean litter box each day, and she took time to pet and play with Stella. We won’t hesitate to book Alyssa next time we are out of town, and we’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”

“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!”

“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!”


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.

About: In my current home now I have no pets of my own making it a great environment to host a cat!! Growing up my family has always had cats (hence why my parents still have four) and this helped to create a strong background in their care.
“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!!”

“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”

“Samuel and Erica were amazing! So nice and accommodating on our last minute request. Our dog had a blast at their house and came home happy and tired from all the playtime with their dog! Who could ask for more. Highly recommend”

About: Experienced dog lover providing safe, personalized care full of play, love, and peace of mind. I treat your pup like family—because that’s exactly what they are. Happy dogs, Relieved parents. Trusted care. I work from home, so your pup gets all-day play, belly rubs, and love. From morning zoomies to afternoon naps, they’re part of my routine—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! My home is your dog’s play-and-snuggle paradise! Either toys, walks, and comfy spots to nap, I make sure every stay is fun, safe, and full of love—so they can’t wait to come back.
About: I have cared for pets of all ages over the years and adopted a pup of my own about two years ago. He’s up to date on all vaccinations and loves other dogs. I have experience with giving medications to animals, caring for both puppies and older pups, and my apartment is hardwood floors so accidents aren’t a problem! I am a graduate assistant and in grad school. This means that I word pretty weird hours and I do a lot of work remotely. I’m home anywhere between 8 hours to 24 hours a day and can rearrange my schedule depending on the needs of the animal. There is a dog park nearby and it’s a safe area. For my pup, and pups I’ve boarded/cared for before, I traditionally feed them in the AM and give them plenty of water. We go to the dog park to start the day and get the energy out. I make sure to leave dog-safe toys on the floor so they know they have stuff to play with and I dog proof the apartment before I leave each time so they don’t get into things they shouldn’t. We go out later in the day to the dog park again to socialize or get the zoomies going. We go back and have a little more food or a snack and then hang out before going out on a walk to end the day. I'm working full-time in ministry so I have lots of time throughout the day to care for your loved one and will be gone no more than a few hours per evening for bible studies and groups. I take my dog, Tonka, out 5-6 times per day minimum and we love to go on walks and be outdoors. I have a large field directly behind my apartment and live in a very pet-friendly area tucked off the main road so your pup will enjoy lots of safe and supervised outside time! I allow animals on the furniture and keep all choking hazards up high. My dog has a knack for finding even the smallest things to mess with so I have good practice with keeping a safe home.
“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!”

“Ollie had a great time at Carola’s home! He was happy when we picked him up and slept like a baby from his day filled with play! Thank u for taking great care of my Senior:).”

I have lots of kisses to give and I love animals of any size! I am a work from home dog mom myself Mon-Fri so your pets can stay with me in my office all day. And I'm available most all weekends.

I am ok with animals being on the furniture so your pets can be as comfortable as possible in my home.

“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 is an incredible dog sitter! She gave my pups so much love and attention and made sure they got plenty of exercise. She even bought them toys, bones, and helped train them. She has a nice fence in yard with an entire dog playground! She also kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. She’s incredibly kind as well.”

“Love that we have someone we can trust with our fur baby! Cassandra is so good with our Pepper who is always so excited to see her. Cassandra was even great about being flexible with time for us. 💯 recommend her!”

“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!!”

“I needed someone to watch my sweet girl tootsi for a couple of days at the last minute and I’m so thankful I found Dianna! She and her doggo tonka welcomed tootsi in their home like she was apart of their family. Tootsi was happy when I picked her up, and Dianna even gave her a toy to go home with when she didn’t have to do that at all! I really appreciate how kind and welcoming she was & will be booking again if I ever need to! I also appreciate all the cute and funny videos and pics I got while I was away. 5/5☺️ !”

About: I’m a local college student with a super flexible schedule and exited attitude to help out whenever I can! I love animals and have been taking care of them since I was around 10. I have experienced house sitting and also watching pets from my own home. I currently don’t have pets of my own making it a great environment to offer my home up to help others. I look forward to creating new relationships with clients and their fur babies! My schedule is currently fully open with it being summer time and I’m looking to fill this time with new bookings! I am able to give my full attention to the pet and can adapt to their needs! I have a fenced in yard and live in a great neighborhood to walk in. I also do no have pets only own making it easier to watch your pet as well! I always want to put the pets needs first and make sure they are getting quality care!
About: I have been caring for pets for almost 60 years and treat every pet as my own. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I foucs on making each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand routines matter, so I pay close attention to your pet's needs and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages. My goal is always for you to feel confident and for your pet to feel right at home. Retired, reliable, and available full-time to help with your pet-sitting needs. Happy to love on those furry friends whenever it benefits their owners. I have housed dogs and cats all my life. My home is safe and animal-friendly. I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”

“Hailey is personable and a good communicator. She sent us multiple pictures of our fur baby daily. She is also very caring and responsible. She provided ample time outdoors for our dog and was receptive to her needs. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Kaitlyn accepted our request at last minute and was flexible with pickup when our flight got delayed. She kept us updated with message and pictures. Mylles loved his stay there. I will definitely use her service again.”

“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!”

“Jennifer and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Maggie. She appeared to fit right in! Very convenient to the Kingsport area, rates are fair, and they are exceptionally friendly.”

“Lilly and her family were just what my 2 pups needed for our 2 day trip. She was respectful of our requests (no pups on furniture), and offered the right amount and frequency of communication while we were away to assure us our kiddos were behaving, safe, and happy. Her small female dog was also seemingly acclimated to having 'guests'. Would definitely recommend.”

“Always wonderful to see Rhemy happy and worn out. I know he's picky about eating when he's not with his people. So I appreciate the honesty that he didn't eat his whole bag of food. Faith you did a wonderful job with him! I hope to continue to have you Rover-Sit Rhemy cause he loves your company. Rhemy is home and comfy and napping now. Awesome job as always, TY Faith!”

“Natalie was wonderful with my nervous boy. She took her time to get him acclimated and let him do this at his own pace. He was so happy when I picked him up and I could tell he had a great time! Natalie also sent me a lot of videos and pictures during his stay. I would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you, Natalie!”

“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.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Samantha and her daughter. They were wonderful with my 11 year old pug and sent pictures to show me how he was doing during his three day stay with them. He loved making new furry and human friends and I will definitely be asking Samantha if he can come play with them again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I could drive! My family, friends, and neighbors all trust me with their fur babies! I am currently in school full time for physical therapy at ETSU! I am normally available Mondays after 12:00 Wednesdays between 12-2:30 and after 5:00 Thursdays before 12:00 and after 5:00. I am in town a lot of weekends (when I am not visiting home) and would be available from 12:00 Friday through the whole weekend! I always keep dogs on a leash unless we are in a fenced-in area with other trusted animals. My #1 priority is for the dogs, myself, and everyone around me to be safe and happy!
“My two babies loved Ken! And I felt so assured of the care he gave them as he sent lots of photos and took them out for fun activities (after checking with us to be sure it was ok :)). Would keep them with him again!”
