“Thank you so much for taking good care of Rex while I was away! It means a lot to me to be able to go away and have confidence that he’s in good and caring hands.”


“Opal always does a great job watching my dogs. They were snuggling up with her before I even left the house. She is also great at sending updates like pictures and she was respectful of my house and didn't leave a mess or anything!”

“Megan was awesome! She took great care of our 2 babies, kept us informed, sent pics, even trimmed their nails when asked if she could help us with that. She was very friendly and professional. We would rebook her again anytime.”


“Danielle was incredible! Our Max has separation anxiety and can be a challenge. Danielle used her years of experience to recommend the best situation for all of us as we needed to go out of town for a night. She sent us pictures and updates several times during our time away. When we got home Max was so happy and you could tell he had been well taken care of. As pet owners, we are over the moon. Also, before Danielle, we did not feel comfortable with putting Max in boarding and it limited our ability to travel. We have a new found freedom and will definitely use Danielle again. She is highly recommended!”


“Kyleigh took care of our post-op senior dogs over several days, and everything was wonderful. She gave them meds, removed the cones for meal time, and made sure they were snuggled and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and respectful caregiver. Highly recommended!”


“I am very happy with Louise staying with Toby. She spent a lot of time with him; was successful at getting my picky dog to eat. Louise sent me pictures and I was very comfortable with Louise. I would recommend her highly”


“Kathryn was excellent, she was attentive and communicative throughout the time she was watching Ares. She sent consistent updates with pictures and made us feel great about trusting her with our fur baby and home. She will definitely be our go to dog sitter/walker for any future needs! Great energy and awesome personality took incredible care of our big baby.”


“First time using Rover for my 2 girls, and Kylene was very patient and loving towards them. They were very well taken care of, and I will definitely be rebooking in the near future!”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was young. I took great care of my family’s dogs and more recently assisted with my friends dogs. I love long walks and trips to the dog park if the owner is comfortable with that. I have experience training dogs in basic commands as well as teaching socialization skills and administering medication should that be needed. I currently am available for dog walking between 8AM and 9PM any day of the week. Any arrangements needed outside of those hours might be available upon communication. A minimum of 24 hours is needed for watching dogs overnight or housesitting. Unfortunately I am unable to host any dogs or cats at my home. But I am very clean and considerate should and arrangement to stay overnight be needed.

About: Hi there, I'm new to Rover with the intent of building my online presence and expanding professionally, as I've worked in the Tri-cities via word of mouth for years and I do come with excellent references available upon request. I am an avid animal lover with a background that includes caring for cats, dogs, chickens, miniature horses, goats, pigs, emus, llamas, hampsters, gerbils, a macaw, fish and reptiles. I think that about covers it. I was a long time volunteer at Full Circle Farm Animal Sanctuary in Weaverville, NC where I gained extensive experience and learned a lot about animal needs, behaviors and personalities until the sanctuary relocated to Georgia after receiving a large gift of acreage to expand. Today, I primarily care for cats and dogs with cuddles, basic needs, walking, administration of medications, etc. Hours can vary and I work with the client to tailor to specific needs. I always practice proper leashing when walking, if that is a need of the client, and follow protocols and preferences set by and agreed upon to insure your furry loved one(s) receive care that exceeds your expectations while you are away. I will be in tune with and alert to any signs of distress and would be in contact with you if any such situation were to arise. I have had three elderly dogs of my own and am quite sensitive, especially, to the needs of senior dogs. I work part time, make my own schedule and have all the flexibility needed to devote to caring for animals, including day sitting and overnight stays. I care for pets specifically in clients' home. I do not board clients' animals in my home. I offer extensive and shorter overnight stays and I offer drop ins for potty breaks, feeding, walking, cleaning litter box, cuddles or day sitting.

About: My name is Brock Vernon, I'm 28 years old and I have a dog at home I take full care of! One of my biggest passions is to help and be around animals. The services I'm offering are -- I'm willing to walk dogs multiple times a day, or simply go and hang out with them. Food/water as well. If there are cats or other animals that is fine too! if they need to be fed I will do that when it is needed! And I even wouldn't mind taking your dogs to the park or running around with them outside. I've been going to the animal shelter here in Johnson City occasionally to walk the dogs or to keep the older animals company and when I lived in Colorado I did the same thing! All-in-all I just love being around animals and would love to meet all the cute pets out there! I have full availability right now, so nothing should keep me from putting 100% effort and attention into care for your pets. If my availability changes then I will give updates as soon as I know. At my home I have a fenced-in area which my dog loves. In between daily walks I’ll put him in there and he runs around and does his business. For home visits I will care for your pet the same way you do! Walks around the neighborhood, play time, even park visits if the owner consents to it!

Brock V.
“I am the Founder and President of a nonprofit animal rescue called Demi's Animal Rescue. Brock adopted his dog from us years ago and has been a loving and caring owner the entire time. I still get updates on Brock and Dexter's adventures and couldn't be happier about him adopting one of our dogs. Brock's connection to animals has been awesome to observe and he is a wonderful fellow dog lover!”
