Dog Sitting in Watauga

“Sara was the absolute best to work with. She came by the day prior for a meet & greet, very punctual, sent lots of pictures & reassured me that she would love him like we do. This was our first time using Rover & we went with Sara based on her reviews and we are so very thankful we did! Will definitely recommend and will be a returning client. She is an absolute dream to leave in our home with our “second child”.”

About: Although I don’t have any dogs of my own, my love for them still remains. They truly are man’s best friend! I love all dogs equally, and I will ensure your furbaby is comforted and happy! I currently work as a kennel technician part time, so I have plenty of time available for your pet! I also have Saturday & Sunday availability. I will follow instructions for how you want your pet cared for! I understand the importance of letting them come to you, I’d never make an animal uncomfortable.

“I felt very comfortable leaving Kevin with Peyton, and received thorough updates with pictures the whole time. Kevin takes a while to warm up to new people and Peyton took the time to make him feel at ease. I would definitely book with them again.”

About: I have always had a loving for animals, and there have been dogs in my home for as long as I can remember! I comfortably understand pet care needs and give plenty of attention! I am patient and respectful with pets and treat them like family. I am almost always available on weekends, along with anytime after 3:00 PM on week days. I’d also be happy to visit any early morning if that’s what your pet needs! I follow all care instructions closely and ensure all pets are treated with patience and respect. I am cautious of doors, leashes, gates, etc. I believe trust is formed through consistency in communication and reliability.

“My puppy loves spending time with Lori. Lori has a sweet spirit and she is a special lady. She is wonderful with my 12 week old fur baby. They formed an instant bond. She met us ahead to be sure to get the details of the drop-in. Lori sent photos and videos of her progress with our puppy while we were away. She is very knowledgeable about training our rambunctious little guy to obey her commands. We are very impressed and can tell the difference she is making. We can't wait until we see her again. She is amazing!”

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.

About: I have took care of dogs and cats since i was 9 years old. I have always had animals in my house and I love to take care of them. I have looked after my friend’s and family’s cats and dogs both. I am free most of the time! I want to find a way to help others by also doing something I love which is taking care of dogs. I watch after my dogs daily and would love to share the love I have for my dogs to yours. I do not have a fenced in yard, however i do own leashes that I would take dogs out on in order to insure nothing happens to your fur babies!

About: I love dogs, I have 2 of my own and both are registered service dogs. I can also work with your furbaby if they are in need of some training. I am very compassionate about dogs and will treat yours like I treat mine. I am also trained in animal CPR. I love dog kisses and nothing bothers me. I have excellent references. I love all animals but dogs are my passion. I prefer to meet your baby at least twice before you leave. I love to walk dogs and have great experience with them. You can count on your baby being taken great care of. I have volunteered with rescues for many years and I had a successful business in NC and have just moved to Johnson City TN and trying to get established here. ALL PIT BULLS WELCOME.

“Chelsea is reliable, prompt and communicates well. She uses the Rover app to provide helpful photos for the care items that mean the most to me, especially sweet photos of my kitty. Despite some initial evasion after I first departed, my kitty came to trust her very quickly. ++cj”

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, reptiles and more. I have been a lifelong pet owner. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly understand how important it is to leave your furry family members with someone you trust. I have experience house sitting for multi-pet households, including caring for up to five dogs at once, and I’m comfortable juggling different routines, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, extra snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and check-ins while they’re away. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or making sure everything stays tidy while you’re gone. I work in a professional role during the week, which means you can count on me to be organized, communicative, and dependable — but I never lose sight of the fun part of pet sitting. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you’re back home. Feel free to reach out — I’d love to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time in a professional role, which allows me to be organized, reliable, and communicative with pet parents. I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and extended care during mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to coordinate schedules in advance to make sure your pets receive consistent, attentive care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities. I primarily provide care in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box routines, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure doors, windows, and pet areas are always safe. I understand that trust is a big part of pet care, and I treat every home and every animal with the same care and responsibility I would want for my own. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

“Amber was awesome! 22 visits over 11 days and she went above and beyond every visit. My pup was happy to see us when we returned, but after a few minutes, she started looking for more people to come inside. We think she was disappointed it was just us and not Amber coming back to play and walk! She will miss you! I really hope she will work with us again! It was very reassuring knowing my dog was in excellent hands, and it made it much easier being comfortable while away. Thank you, Amber, for everything! We are truly grateful! Take care and I hope to speak with you again in the future!”

About: I'm currently a stay at home mom of an 8 year old girl. We have a dog of our own right now that is a Corgi/shepard mix named Harley. I've always had dogs and cats my entire life and love taking care of animals and going on walks with them. I am originally from NJ and just moved to Tn in April. I worked at an animal shelter in NJ where I took care of the dogs and some newborn kittens. I've don't have much experience with dogs with disabilities but that won't stop me from wanting to work with them. My dog Harley is a very friendly dog and loves to play so if your dog is friendly she'd love to meet them too!

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.

About: I have gained experience dog sitting for friends and neighbors as early as elementary school! I love all animals from chickens to frogs, cats, and dogs! I'm a college athlete, so I will work around my school and practice schedule! Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays will be the best days for me! I have experience with many pets including chickens, turkeys, cats, and dogs. I strive to create an environment for pets to feel safe and happy!

About: I was raised in a home of dogs, being taught how to care for them from a young age. Over the years, I have taken care of many family and friends’ animals when needed. I own two chocolate labs of my own and have raised them both since puppies, including potty training and teaching them basic skills and obedience. I’ve grown up loving dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them affection. I make it a priority to give every dog I care for love, attention, and a safe environment, treating them like they’re part of my family. I will always choose to have a furry friend by my side, and I love sharing that bond with every dog I meet. As a college student, I’ve learned to balance my studies with my love for animals. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have a flexible class schedule. I plan my schedule around classes, study time, and other responsibilities so I can give pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure each animal gets consistent care. Being around pets also provides a wonderful break from studying, and I love the companionship they bring. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow the owner’s routine closely so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I handle feeding, playtime, walks, litter boxes, and any other specific instructions the owner provides. I also give lots of attention and affection, monitor their behavior and health, and send updates to the owner so they know their pets are happy and safe. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and cared for, just as if I were looking after my own.

“Jenna was terrific and we will definitely book her for any future trips! Both of our dogs got along great with her right away! During the morning and evening Drop-In visits, one of our dogs needed medication and special food. Jenna was more than accommodating with giving the medication/food and provided updates on how the dogs were doing and pics of each visit. We really appreciated Jenna's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule too. Jenna also left our house in great condition! Jenna - thank you for taking such great care of Coco and Bella so we didn't have to worry about them while we were out of town!”
