“Our puppy had a great time playing and running in Carlos’s large backyard with the other dogs she was watching. She had a wonderful 3 night stay and Carola send lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated! We can’t thank her enough!”
“Thomas was AMAZING! He took such great care of our sweet Luna! He sent updates every day which we really appreciated when leaving Luna with someone! He was very responsive and communicated promptly! I definitely recommend Thomas and will be booking with him again!”
“Ashlyn P took our male Cat into her clean and pet friendly home. She took such good care of him over the week he was with her. She was great communicating with us via text. She sent us photos of Big Guy and we could tell by his look, he was enjoying his vacation. We were out of state in NY during the terrible Nor'easter Storm and had to delay our return drive twice. Ashlyn had no problem with keeping our Big Guy the extra 2 days we were delayed in our return. I highly recommend her for Pet Sitting in the Tri Cities area. There are none better.”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Lorna! She provides a wonderful and safe place for our fur babies to stay when we need to be away. She has a great fenced in yard providing plenty of space to run and play. I highly recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a caring and sweet person to care for their animals.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Jimena is absolutely lovely! She is so sweet and loving towards the dogs she cares for. She is very organized and responds to any communications I send. She is such a hidden gem for Boone to have. I wish her all the luck in the world with her business!”
“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.”
“Erica was absolutely wonderful with my two pups. I received daily updates and photos of them, and they appeared to be having the time of their lives! No complaints from me at all, and I will definitely rebook!”
“Great guy awesome communication took my cat for the weekend while I was traveling thru so I could go hit some excursions, he sent me updates and pictures of him keeping my cat active and played with. 1000x better than any boarding place I’ve ever taken him to. so glad to have found James.”
“Lori was absolutely awesome! I’ve used Rover for years and Lori is probably the best Rover sitter I’ve met. She truly enjoys taking care of the pups in her care. Her own pups are very sweet. Her home is clean and located in a nice area that’s very conveniently located. Moose truly enjoyed his time with Lori. He settled right down and enjoyed all the walks. Lori sends pictures and video during the whole visit. You can’t go wrong leaving your pup with Lori.Thank you sooo much Lori. You are a lovely person and such a gift and a blessing! 💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾”
“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!!”

About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested. I’m excited to open my door (and heart) to your pup for day visits or overnights. I have one super tough 6 pound Shihtzu-Chihuahua in the house so your pups must be friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with puppies and caring for senior dogs. I work from home so I'm at home all day and night during the week. On weekends, I'm never gone for more than 3- 4 hours at any one time. Most of the time, I'm home with the fur babies. I have a house with ample room to welcome up to 2 dogs (same owner) at a time. I have a fenced back yard area allowing for exercise and free roaming. I never leave pets outdoors unattended. Dog's will normally sleep in my bed with me, but totally fine if they prefer their own bed in my room.
“Sabrina is great. A great communicator and very understanding about my little Jada who is a bit anti social. She took perfect care and we would love to have her look after Jada again.”
“We left Bella, our 6 month old pit mix with her and she did absolutely amazing! We got daily pics and updates of Bella and she would always text back right away! Bella had so much fun and we will for sure be having Kristy dog-sit next time we go out of town! Thank you Kristy!!”
“Heather took the best care of our dog, Betty while we were on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and communicating very well the whole time, we trust our dog to have the best time with her on future vacations! :)”

“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!!”
“She was INCREDIBLE!!! So many pictures, very communicative, helped me when I was in need of a last minute drop in. My dog looked like she had a great time. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Not only have I taken care of dogs for a family vet since I was 9, I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for years! I’ve taken dogs on countless walks, playdates, and even administered medication and provided first aid. Your pup is loved and cared for in my hands! I currently attend ETSU full time, with many gaps between my classes. I am available pretty much all day, every day, with the exception of a few one-hour classes! I come prepared to visit your pup! I let them approach me at their own speed, pace their walk how they please, and observe their body language and adjust accordingly! I have experience in introducing dogs, providing medical assistance, general care for all types of animals, and in rare cases, swiftly and safely breaking up dog fights.
“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”
“Thomas was AMAZING! He took such great care of our sweet Luna! He sent updates every day which we really appreciated when leaving Luna with someone! He was very responsive and communicated promptly! I definitely recommend Thomas and will be booking with him again!”
About: I am going to school to school currently to become a veterinarian and I hopefully will get a job as a vet tech very soon! I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own and I take care of them everyday while the rest of my family is at work. I love to take my dogs on walks for about 30 minutes at least twice a day. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs are very friendly and playful and love new friends! We have multiple crates if that is something necessary for your pet. My whole family has huge hearts when it comes to animals so your pet will be well taken care of!
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: Unclassified "animal whisper" I live for animals and children! They speak a different, much more pure language! They know real love and loyalty and are worth every second you can provide! Many years of experience, and looking forward to many more! Drop ins and walks are my favorite 😊 All animals of all shapes and sizes make me my best self! And I will die in the line of doggy duty!! You won't regret letting me spend time with your fur baby 😻 I work from home currently so I am always home through the week or at least close by so I can accommodate most needs. :) We have no fence unfortunately but we have plenty of leashes! As far as for someone elses home we take the direction of the owners note and recognize it is the pets home and routine so all of that is respected!
“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 had family friends entrust me with their cats and all the wild or calm things they need. I understand the love owners have for their cats so it is my pleasure to make sure they are taken care of with the same love from me.
“Hannah was fantastic with our two cats! She communicated perfectly with us while we were out of the country and did everything we requested :) Would definitely book her again in the future!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. I stared working at a vets office and haven’t looked back. Pet care can look like many different things in my week such as, a single feeding, a walk, a check in or the full on in home service with all the feedings and all the walks. While, I would love to have every dog and cat over to my house I can’t realistically do that b/c I own a cat who does love other cats and she tolerates dogs, your dog or cat would have to be cat friendly. So most of my jobs are me coming to your home whether that is a drop in or a full time boarding situation while you’re on vacation.
About: Hello! My name is Hayley. My first dog was given to me at the age of 4! I've grown up with dogs, cats, & horses. I've also house sat a snake before at my house for 2 weeks! I have sincere love for animals & some extra time to help you make sure your baby is safe & happy! I had a Yorkshire terrier who passed this year at the age of 17! (I even brushed his teeth daily) So honestly, I will do anything I can to help with your animal(s). I am very laid back and my schedule is pretty flexible!! Being self employed allows me to make my own schedule. I can block out times of the day to care for animals. Which is currently how I make the time. I care for your animals as if they are my own. If that means long walks and adding some playtime. Or helping an animal that needs extra care. I will do what’s necessary for your fur baby!

“Carola was great - we were new at leaving our dog with anyone and our dog is old and not great at being left anywhere. By the second day, she was settling and Carola had her all figured out. We got to enjoy Nelson and not be limited by our dog in the heat or at a restaurant. Would recommend this service to anyone travelling with a pet who needs a special home away from home.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve done everything from fostering to raising litters of puppies and kittens. I’m an active person so there is no shortage of playtime. I’m very dedicated to providing the love and support pets need! Caring for pets is always a priority of mine as I currently own a dog and cat myself. I work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I have a spare bedroom in my house with a large mattress for pets to rest on. There is space for a crate if needed. My backyard is very spacious. My area is fairly quiet as I live outside the city. I also have a very friendly dog and cat so your pets can have new friends (can be separated if needed).
About: I’ve had my own dog for about 4 years, so I’m used to the day-to-day stuff—walks, feeding, keeping a routine, and just paying attention to how they’re doing. I have a large fenced yard at my house so your dog will have a lot of room to play with! I’ve also watched pets for friends and family here and there. I’m pretty laid back, but I take instructions seriously and make sure pets are comfortable and taken care of. Happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play a lot or just chill, I can match their vibe. I’m a homemaker, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and a lot of availability during the day and evenings. I also have reliable transportation, so I can be consistent and on time. I take pet care seriously and make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to details, keep a clean and safe environment, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’m always happy to communicate and will send regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I was a bit nervous about using a sitter service for the first time. But after just one day, seeing the pure joy on Shelby's face when I picked her up made it all worth it! She was so tired when we got home, which was evidence of how much fun she had. Lori is wonderful; she keeps me updated with sweet texts, pictures, and videos throughout the day! I will definitely be using Rover AND Lori again!!”
About: Experience with huskies, pit bulls, blue heelers. I’ve always cared for multiple pets in my own home as well as sitting for family and friends.

I also have multiple rooms if pets need to be separated from my dog or cats. My house is safe and secure. If visiting at your home I am aware and attentive and will send pictures if you would like!

“Our fur babies had the BEST time with Amanda and her family. Cannot say enough great things!!! Our babies were socialized, loved on, and came home tired- which is exactly what we needed!!! AND she gave us a goodie bag! ❤️ we will definitely use them again when we are in town.”
About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have four Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
“This was my first experience and it went great. Thomas was very nice, communicative, and easy to work with. He kept me updated throughout the stay, and I felt confident that my dogs were in good hands. I would happily book with him again.”
About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested.

“Ken was just fabulous. Arranging the stay couldn't have been easier, and he made me so comfortable leaving Rosie with him. He's obviously an animal lover, and Rosie opened up to him immediately. Throughout the morning, he sent photos and updates - including of a lovely hike along a bucolic nearby stream. Come afternoon, I picked up a tired and happy dog. Rosie will miss him.”
“Katy took care of my 5-month-old puppy, Bagel, for three days while I was in the area taking a painting class. Bagel is a very sweet, social and energetic puppy who loves people and other dogs, but he can become overstimulated around other dogs and doesn’t always know how to settle himself yet. Although I had explained that ahead of time, I don’t think either Katy or I realized just how difficult it would be for him to settle in a new home with another dog around. Katy really did try hard to make him comfortable. She took him on walks, played with him, worked on calming him down, and even made a trip to the pet store for a stronger harness, leash, blanket, treats and other things she thought might help. She communicated with me throughout the day and was very honest when she felt Bagel was becoming more than she could comfortably manage for a full day. After two particularly challenging days, we agreed to shorten his third day. Interestingly, he seemed to be settling in better by then, and Katy ended up keeping him until about 2:00 rather than the noon pickup we had planned. Bagel was always happy to see Katy and willingly went with her each morning, which meant a lot to me. I also really liked Katy personally and appreciated how much she cared about making the situation work. Bagel was simply a much bigger handful in her home than I expected, and I think being around another dog all day made it especially hard for him to turn himself off and rest. I’m grateful for the effort Katy put in and for how much she genuinely cared about Bagel during his stay.”
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 keep lots of treats in my kit including cat treats, cat nip, dog treats, calming pheromone spray & highly digestible bones. I enjoy cooking for pets when I can, making it feel more like going to Grandma's house instead of day care 😉 I am very attentive to moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have treated sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections, and followed food regimens. I've been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with the not-so-fun parts. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, toys, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not very busy, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I'm always looking for new spots to walk & hike, making sure your bestie doesn't get bored ☺️ I strive to work with pet parents to provide high standard, seamless care for every animal & your peace of mind.

About: I’ve watched neighbors pets as a young kid and have always loved meeting new animals. I think it’s important that the animals keep to a as normal schedule as possible to mimic every day life. I’m always around and can stay as long as required for your animals. I also have looked after family pets when family goes away. I understand strangers can be terrifying, but I’d love to be a friend or extended family for others pets, someone they can look forward to seeing in the day to know that they won’t be alone. Hi there my name is Brittany, I’m 28 years old and my pup is Mika, he’s 2! I’m new to the Tri Cities area and have been here for a little over a year. I was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness: gastroparesis, so obtaining a full time job has been difficult. I have been put on some medication that helps the majority of my issues, but I can’t manage a full time job, unfortunately. I’m available all days of the week other than Fri-Sun where I work part time in Johnson City from 10am-4pm. I’d love to be able to spend that free time with your babies and give them the time they need to run around or just to give them some company since I have a lot of time on my hands. I grew up with dogs my whole life and have also been around cats that my grandmother has had. I have my one pup, Mika and my boyfriend has his two dogs. It’s been rough not being able to do much, but furry friends always make me smile and provide wonderful, uplifting energy to myself as well as to you I can imagine. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to be able to be there for your fur babies. I spend a lot of time with my pet, whether it’s taking them outside to run around in our fenced in yard, lounging on the couch with a movie, playing with toys and balls. My dog gets crated when I’m not around and for travel for his safety. I also have a dog car seat in my car for my dog or possibly your dog if they may fit. My dog is up to date on all his vaccinations and is neutered. He goes to Paws of Hope vet in Bluff City. I’m very knowledgeable in dachshund care, I grew up with them and have one of my own so I have ramps in my house and understand the safety they require for their backs.
“Savannah was super friendly and easy to talk to, and is definitely a dog person. My dog warmed right up to her! She was consistently on time and did a fantastic job caring for our fur babies. I love the pictures and video she sent. Made our vacation much more pleasant knowing our animals were cared for.”
“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!”

“We were in town over Easter weekend for an event. Needed care for our PWD. Hannah was super responsive and made us feel very comfortable from the start. She was very thorough and gave our dog multiple walks and spent time with her giving belly rubs. While we didn’t get to meet her in person, our pup seemed very happy. If we are in the area again we would definitely reach out to Hannah!”

“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!”

Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.
About: I have grew up with dogs all my life and I have been taking care of them since I was 16 they are so awesome and I love every dog no matter what! And I will take care of your dog like it was my own! It fits my schedule fairly good depending on the day some days it would be late afternoon and some days it can be early morning to even most of the day! I have a dog of mine at home that is crate trained and socialized with people and dogs. Also has been crate trained and I have a lot of experiences with bad dogs that act up and experiences with good dogs. I have been trained to help any dog!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. I stared working at a vets office and haven’t looked back. Pet care can look like many different things in my week such as, a single feeding, a walk, a check in or the full on in home service with all the feedings and all the walks. While, I would love to have every dog and cat over to my house I can’t realistically do that b/c I own a cat who does love other cats and she tolerates dogs, your dog or cat would have to be cat friendly. So most of my jobs are me coming to your home whether that is a drop in or a full time boarding situation while you’re on vacation.

Reach out and we can work something out that works perfect for YOU! i’m very flexible to your needs! i will be coming to your home and care for your furry friend as well as clean any mess they may have made :)
About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

“Thomas was AMAZING! He took such great care of our sweet Luna! He sent updates every day which we really appreciated when leaving Luna with someone! He was very responsive and communicated promptly! I definitely recommend Thomas and will be booking with him again!”
“Ashlyn P took our male Cat into her clean and pet friendly home. She took such good care of him over the week he was with her. She was great communicating with us via text. She sent us photos of Big Guy and we could tell by his look, he was enjoying his vacation. We were out of state in NY during the terrible Nor'easter Storm and had to delay our return drive twice. Ashlyn had no problem with keeping our Big Guy the extra 2 days we were delayed in our return. I highly recommend her for Pet Sitting in the Tri Cities area. There are none better.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Jimena is absolutely lovely! She is so sweet and loving towards the dogs she cares for. She is very organized and responds to any communications I send. She is such a hidden gem for Boone to have. I wish her all the luck in the world with her business!”
“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.”
“Erica was absolutely wonderful with my two pups. I received daily updates and photos of them, and they appeared to be having the time of their lives! No complaints from me at all, and I will definitely rebook!”
“Great guy awesome communication took my cat for the weekend while I was traveling thru so I could go hit some excursions, he sent me updates and pictures of him keeping my cat active and played with. 1000x better than any boarding place I’ve ever taken him to. so glad to have found James.”
“Lori was absolutely awesome! I’ve used Rover for years and Lori is probably the best Rover sitter I’ve met. She truly enjoys taking care of the pups in her care. Her own pups are very sweet. Her home is clean and located in a nice area that’s very conveniently located. Moose truly enjoyed his time with Lori. He settled right down and enjoyed all the walks. Lori sends pictures and video during the whole visit. You can’t go wrong leaving your pup with Lori.Thank you sooo much Lori. You are a lovely person and such a gift and a blessing! 💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾”
“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!!”
