“Abi was simply just amazing! I had my German Shepherd that is scared of new people and Abi just had the gracious touch and presence that made my dog super comfortable with her. I’m beyond happy with my decision and highly recommend her to dog owners.”
“Leslie was an amazing pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog as well as my friends dog who can be extremely anxious. Leslie went out of her way to make sure he felt comfortable with treats and patience. She was flexible with time changes and even came through when I had a blunder of my own and didn’t provide accurate information (sorry again Leslie!). I would recommend her to anyone as she is attentive, kind, understanding, and most importantly excellent with dogs. I will certainly be using Leslie for all of my future dog sitting/walking needs. Thanks, Leslie! Leslie was an amazing pet sitter! She took excellent care of my dog as well as my friend’s dog, who can be extremely anxious. Leslie went out of her way to make sure he felt comfortable with plenty of patience, treats, and care. She was incredibly attentive and flexible with time changes, and even came through when I had a blunder of my own and didn’t provide accurate information (sorry again, Leslie!). I would recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a sitter or walker. She is kind, attentive, understanding, and, most importantly, excellent with dogs. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure both dogs were happy and comfortable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I will definitely be using Leslie for all of my future dog sitting and walking needs. Thanks again, Leslie! River and I really appreciate you!”
“Heather was just wonderful. She’s caring and attentive to Bruno’s needs and updated me with photos through the 2 days. She’s also very responsive and walked him on the times we discussed. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to walk and take care of your dog if you’re away from home.”
About: Hey all! I have 3+ years of experience with all types of animals. I also work at a daycare/boarding facility. I have stayed in many different homes for overnight stays, drop ins, and walks. In my experience with taking care of animals, I know how hard it is to find a trusting and reliable person. I would love to help out! 🐶🐾🐱 I’m currently working part-time at a rehab hospital, but would be willing to walk or drop in any day of the week that’s convenient with my schedule. I am very respectful and responsible when watching pets in clients homes. I make sure the pets are taken care of and feel safe. I also take into consideration the health of the animal and the owners needs.
About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I could talk: dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, anything with a pulse lol. I am a veterinary social worker with a passion in the animal human bond. I have recently started training to be a dog trainer. I have experience working with high energy dog breeds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. Many of the skills that I use as a therapist are transferable to training and bonding with animals. It’s so exciting to connect the information I know about humans with working with animals. I work full time as a therapist and am gone for about 3-4 hours at a time. After 3-4 hours I come home to check on all animals. Weekends I am completely open. The day typically starts around 8am in my household and schedule may vary depending on the needs of the animals in my home. I have a fenced in yard and designated dog room for crating animals while I am away. It is important to me that your animals safety is top priority, so when unsupervised they will be crated in a room designed for their comfort. I have 2 friendly pups who have been through professional training & one cat who minds his own business. I have the ability to separate your animals from other animals if needed. I can accommodate various needs.
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care
About: My specialty is bigger dogs who like to pull. My best friend is a 110 lb wolfdog named keylo who I've had around 7 years. I walk him and our other dog 3/4 times a week. Their are several hikes around the area we go on as well. I usually work from home so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies . 5 minutes from several parks as well🐶 😊 schedule is flexible I have a huge fenced in back yard with multiple levels and lots of roaming/playing room. Im close to several parks as well as nature trails.
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, providing feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and overnight care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I have grown up with all sorts of pets and i’m excited to care for yours! I have a very flexible schedule and am fully available to care for pets throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays when needed. At this time, I am unable to offer boarding services because I do not have enough yard space to safely and comfortably accommodate pets overnight.
About: Over the years I have walked dogs of all sizes and baby sat many houses for family and friends. I grow up on a farm. I have trained horses and owned pretty much every farm animal out there. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am excited to expand my services to other people. I enjoy volunteering at the local SPCA for time to time. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have never tried these skills on a animal and hopefully I will never have to try them out. I have worked in several daycare over the years and am currently a nanny. People trust me with their kids so I am confident in my ability to handle your pets. Pets are family as well.
About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have experience with a variety of breeds and ages. I offer dog walking services in addition to pet sitting, so your pup can get the exercise they need. Currently, I have a high-energy Australian Shepherd, which has given me plenty of experience in keeping dogs entertained and happy. I have had 8 puppies in my care at a time as well if you need puppy care. I’m dedicated to providing loving and attentive care for your favorite family member. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to help at most times! I am in B2B sales and work remote. I can also run your dog if needed! I will ensure that your home is safe and left exactly the way it was upon my arrival. I understand how much trust goes into letting someone into your home.
About: I’ve raised my Old English Sheepdog since he was a puppy, so I know firsthand how much love and patience dogs need at every stage of life. From playful pups to dogs who need a little extra care, I’m comfortable handling it all. I’m especially experienced with big breeds and dogs with allergies, so I’m used to giving meds, keeping routines, and making sure pups feel happy and safe. I’ll treat your dog like family and give them the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student and have a part time job but I’m looking for something with more flexibility and that keeps me more active too. I can care for your pet in your home and area. I can provide walks, playtime, and attention while your pet stays in a familiar, comfortable environment. I focus on keeping routines consistent, giving lots of love and attention, and making sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away.
“Sydney is wonderful with animals! Our dog Scooby took to her right away. She is very personable and you can tell she has a love for animals. We feel confident leaving our dog in her care.”
About: I am 37 and have been petsitting since I was in middle school. I have grown up with animals in my home. I also worked in a cat vet clinic when I was in college and have experience medicating and giving subQ fluids. I love walking and hiking with dogs and taking the dogs for car rides! I have also fostered cats and dogs for local rescues. I work full time Monday-Friday as a PreK teacher. My work schedule is 7:00-3:30. I am available most evenings and weekends for extra services, such as dog walking and outings. I have a fenced yard (chain link) and supervise their play. I have two friendly dogs (Husky mix and a pit bull mix) who would be around your dog or cat. My 5 cats roam the house freely. I can crate your dog(s) if needed while I am at work. If your pet stays in your home, I can offer up to 3 visits per day on weekdays, up to 4 on weekends depending on how far you are from my house. If you need care for a cat, you can choose to have them around my cats and dogs (must be up to date on vaccinations and parasite free) or I can have them in their own room.

Sarah is the best! She takes such great care of our high-energy Malinois, and our pup is always so excited to see her! She makes sure she gets plenty of walks, gives her lots of attention, and pays great attention to detail. Sarah always keeps us updated on anything going on during her visits, and she is consistently on time and reliable. We appreciate her so much and couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our girl! Highly recommend Sarah!
Justin has been absolutely amazing with my two Labs! He is extremely reliable, responsible, energetic, and clearly takes caring for the dogs seriously. My dogs absolutely LOVE him — they are so excited when he shows up for their daily walks, and they always come home happy and well exercised. I’ve also used Justin for daycare, and the fact that he will pick up and drop off the dogs is an incredible bonus and makes everything so easy. I have complete confidence that they’re in great hands with him. I highly recommend Justin!

Gillian was great! I needed a last minute walker while we were away and she was able to accommodate our schedule. She went out of her way to make sure we had time for a meet and greet beforehand. My boy Moonpie is a little skiddish of new people but she was very sweet and moved at his pace. I will absolutely use Gillian again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Chattanooga is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 759 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Chattanooga. 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 Chattanooga. 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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
