About: Hiiii and hellooo, to my fellowwww pet lovers! My name is Megyn. I’m an East Tennessee native in my early 30s, and since I was born I have always had animals in my home- and usually a couple outside too! I’m most comfortable with cats, dogs, and poultry but I also have experience caring for fish, livestock, reptiles, and rodents and I’m absolutely open to learning anything new for you. I’ve worked with animals who have needed assisted accommodations including those who were blind, deaf, high energy, senior, and those with ptsd. I started pet sitting in middle school- 20 years ago, and ever since I’ve been the go-to person for my friends and family, and subsequently their friends and family. 6 years ago I began house and pet sitting more widely using a different platform to use pet sitting as a means to traveling; those reviews are below. A recent change to my availability has given me the opportunity to try out offering my services on Rover. Thank you for taking your time to learn a little about me, please feel free to check my calendar for availability and message me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your little ones. —— Sarah Chattanooga, TN 20 Feb - 23 Feb 2020 Megan and her partner were excellent pet sitters. They took care of my home, and I came home to a happy dog! They were also communicative and reliable. Would love to host them again! Megan New Durham, NH 01 Jul - 05 Jul 2021 Megan and Abby were excellent house and pet sitters! From our first conversation to our last, they were kind, polite, thoughtful, organized and dependable. I felt very comfortable leaving our home and pets in their care, and they did a great job when they came. We have a dog, cats, bunnies, chickens, ducks, baby turkeys and rabbits, and all of the animals were clean, well fed, and happy upon our return. Megan and Abby gave us updates while we were away, and it was clear they really cared and took their responsibilities seriously - our dog was very sad to see them go! They also took wonderful care of our house, and it was clean and orderly when we came home. Overall, I couldn't have been happier with our experience, thanks so much Megan and Abby!! Best of luck on your next adventure! Emily Roanoke, VA 17 Sep - 19 Sep 2021 Megan was a great house and pet sitter for our two dogs. She was very easy to communicate with and to make plans with. She updated me throughout the weekend to let me know how the dogs were doing. One of our dogs had gotten sick a few days before she arrived so she took special care to keep a close eye on him and make sure he was doing okay which I really appreciated. The house was also spotless when we got home and the dogs seemed very content and happy so I could tell they had been well cared for. I would welcome Megan back any time and definitely recommend her for your sitting needs! 22 Nov - 25 Nov 2023 This is the second time Megan has sat for us, and we were thrilled to have her back with Abby for another visit! Megan is so responsive and easy to coordinate plans with. We were so glad they were able to stay here over the Thanksgiving holiday and take great care of our two dogs while we were with family. They kept us updated every day and the dogs seemed very happy and content when we got home so I could tell they were well taken care of and got lots of love. We would definitely welcome Megan and Abby back and would highly recommend them as sitters! Allison Asheville, NC 16 Apr - 17 Apr 2022 Cat and cat mom approved- tikki loved these two and in pretty sure my apartment was cleaner than I left it. Megyn and Abby were stellar communicators with a great attitude. They were friendly and helpful right from the start. They were respectful and caring. Would recommend to anyone. Victoria Washington, D.C., Washington, D.C. 29 Apr - 01 May 2022 Megyn and Abby were fantastic pet sitters, and they took beautiful care of my dog, my cat, and my home. They were responsive communicators and conscientious house guests. I would partner with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Megyn and Abby! Sarah Atlanta, GA 24 Feb - 26 Feb 2023 FIVE STARS! Easy! What an awesome experience! Yes, you should invite/confirm/welcome Megyn and Abby to your home right away! Megyn and Abby were both so communicative and kind. They took excellent care of our pets and our home and were a delight to coordinate with. They made our get-away so full of ease. Friendly, timely, communicative, clean, caring, organized. What more could you ask for? We would definitely have them come and sit again any time they're in the area Julie Greenville, SC 24 Mar - 26 Mar 2023 Returned home to two happy, well-loved pets and a tidy home. What more can you ask for! Kira Pittsburgh, PA 03 Nov - 06 Nov 2023 They were excellent communicators leading up to the sit and took great care of Tonks and our house while we were away! They also were flexible and I highly recommend them to anyone. Laurie Asheville, NC 26 Jan - 28 Jan 2024 Megyn and Abby took great care of my pups. Leaving 5 dogs with anyone is a bit nerve wracking as I know that's a handful but they seemed to do fine. They were also very accommodating as they arrived early Friday morning before I left so they could meet the dogs and were able to stay a little longer when I found I was going to arrive home later than I had planned. I would have them both visit again. Lysa Johnson City, TN 29 Apr - 30 Apr 2024 They were both excellent house sitters and extremely reliable. Sent pictures and updated us which gave us piece of mind. Highly recommend! AAA+++!!! Alice Banner Elk, NC 03 May - 05 May 2024 Megan was fantastic! She and Abby gave us updates with pictures. I knew Humphrey and Peanut were in excellent hands. I hate to give them fantastic review for fear they will get booked up! You will be fortunate to have them sit in your home. House was cleaner than we had left it. Wonderful, wonderful sitters!! 08 Nov - 10 Nov 2024 Megan and Abby are delightful. They kept me informed about everything that was happening. We would love to have them sit for us again. Maranda Character reference I have known Megan for ll years now throughout the years she has owned / taken care of many animals. She is a very trustworthy and reliable person, I have even trusted her in watching my twin boys on numerous occasions. One of her best qualities is her integrity, for she puts others needs before her own. Damien Character reference Megan Liuni worked under me at Sonic Drive In and was my "right hand" for many years, and was always my good to person for anything, both inside and outside of work. She was my top performing manager and met every deadline that was given to her; inventory counts, scheduling needs, and time goals, ect. As a General Manager I have meetings and conferences along with vacations that have me out of town and Megan is the person I contact. I allowe her to stay in my home and in return she takes care of my two dogs, (German Shepard and Australian Shepard) Cleans the house, and alerts me of any thing that I need to know of. I have never felt like I had a need to lock up or hide any of my possessions because Megan really is the most trustworthy and reliable person I know. I have given her a key of her own to keep in case of any emergency. She lived with me at one point as well and she was always early with payments and most of the time I didn't even know she was there. Kourtnea Character reference I've known Megyn for about 7 years now. I met her at a job and we've been friends ever since! She is one of the most caring, genuine, and sweetest girls I know. She has helped me out a lot over the years including house sitting, pet sitting, and babysitting! My house was always in order and I always trust my home is in great hands while away. I have several animals and they are fat and happy when I'm greeted each time. I have a now 7 year old whom Megyn has been around since my daughters Ist year and has watched her several times for me throughout her life. My daughter loves her and they always have fun. Megyn is a sweetheart and always willing to help someone in need and motivated to get whatever job that needs to be done, done! Highly recommend Megyn for any jobs you may need big or small I’m currently only working part time on some evenings, so I have plenty of open availability to be able to assist you whether it’s just a one time need or reoccurring! I help curate a complete guide to make sure that I have everything I need prior to a sit and maintain a mindset of the highest priority when it comes to someone else’s animals

“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!”

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.

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 and I’d love to be able to spend that 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.

About: I have a wide range of experience in both breeds and age. I currently have a 6 year old goldendoodle, 1.5 year old lab mix, and a 6 month old Belgian Malinois. I’ve had the opportunity to train them myself from the ground up and grow with them I’m currently working part time so I have ample time to care for and train dogs. It’s my priority to first build a relationship with dogs before asking them to trust me and train them. Dogs require structure, and as owners, it’s our jobs to provide them with just that. Structured play, crate time, potty break, and public outings are all part of socializing and creating a well balanced, stable dog

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bluff City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 334 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bluff City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bluff City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bluff City after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bluff City. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
