Ever since I was little I’ve had a dog there for me in my life. I treat every animal with care and respect! Your dog will be in great hands when booked with me!

About: Hi everyone! My husband and I moved to Clarksville this past November and would love to help our local community with pet sitting, walking, and care! I have grown up with dogs and cats and have owned my two pups, Mabel and Jeffery, for 9 years now. My husband and I have two friendly large dogs and one sweet cat in our household. We both work 9-5, however, I work from home all week except Tuesdays. I’ll give your pet as much love, attention, exercise, or training he or she needs and more! I work 9-5 during the week and prioritize taking my dogs for runs and walks in the morning, spend my lunch break with my dogs and cat, and giving extra love in the evening. I like to spend my weekends hiking and spending time outside. My two dogs, husband, and I enjoy being active and would love to dedicate any amount of time playing, running, walking, and just lounging on the couch with your furry friend! My home has a fenced in yard and I live by many nearby dog parks and trails for any pup’s preferences. I have two friendly dogs and one extremely loving cat at home welcome to any furry guest!

About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.

About: I’m a firm believer that our pets are family and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life and Im currently a dog mom to a handsome Belgian Malinois and a beautiful german shepherd. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve also had experience caring for pets that are deaf, blind, and that require medications and even eye drops. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I have the flexibility to check on your dogs throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, run, dog park, or even a casual hang out for a few hours. Because of my dogs, I’m very specific on if I’ll do overnights at my house. My boys are very dog friendly and love to play, but it can be a little much for other dogs. I prefer to take care of your pet in their home, so they are in a familiar and comfortable environment.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have experience with my own past and current dogs, as well as pet sitting and dog walking for over the years. I have also served as a volunteer dog walker and photographer at shelters. I enjoy training and am happy to work with your dog on the basics! I work from home, so if your dog is staying with me I will be home with it during the day. I have a high energy dog of my own who loves playmates and frequent exercise! My dog is very friendly and would love to keep your dog company. I am happy to accommodate any special needs or routines that your dog is used to! I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new and I want to make it as comfortable as possible for everyone involved. Pets are treated like members of the family in my home.

About: Hi, we're a dog-loving family ready to care for your pup like our own! Dogs have always been a big part of our lives. Our sweet German Shorthaired Pointer, Riley, is 15 years old and still loves a good game of fetch! My husband and I are both Air Force veterans, and now we work from home while homeschooling our kids. That means someone is almost always home, and your dog will never feel lonely here. We're a laid-back family who loves hanging out at home, playing with the dogs, and keeping the vibes easygoing and fun. We welcome your pup into our home like they're part of the family. Quick heads-up: we kindly ask that meet & greets, drop-offs, and pick-ups be kept short and sweet. And if you enjoyed your experience, we'd really appreciate a review! Thanks for trusting us with your furry friend — we truly love what we do! Here’s what your pup’s day will look like with us — full of attention, play, and relaxation! 7:00–8:00 AM – Morning Potty & Play Time We start our day early with potty breaks and a short walk or backyard fetch session. Riley loves this part of the morning, and your pup will too! 8:00–9:00 AM – Breakfast & Chill Time After some fun, it’s breakfast time for the dogs while we settle into our homeschool and work-from-home day. Mid-Morning – Supervised Free Time The dogs hang out with us while we’re doing school and work. They’re part of the family, getting love and attention throughout the day. 12:00 PM – Midday Potty & Activity Break We take a break from work and school to get everyone outside for some fresh air — usually another walk or more fetch time in our yard. Afternoon – Rest & Relaxation After some activity, most pups enjoy napping or lounging near us while we finish up our day. It’s calm, quiet, and peaceful. 4:00–5:00 PM – Afternoon Potty Break & Play As our school/work winds down, we take another break to get the dogs moving and playing again. 6:00 PM – Dinner Time Dogs are fed dinner while we start preparing ours. Everyone eats together! Evening – Snuggles, Potty, Wind Down We spend our evenings relaxing as a family — the dogs hang out with us, get belly rubs, and enjoy the mellow evening energy. Final potty break is before bedtime. Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. We know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust — and we take that responsibility to heart. Our home is calm, safe, and full of love. With our dog Riley being 15 years old, we understand the importance of gentle care, patience, and tuning into each dog’s individual needs — whether they’re playful and energetic or just want a comfy spot to nap and feel secure. Because we’re home all day, your dog will never be left alone for long. We offer constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and a low-stress environment where your pup can relax and just be themselves. We treat every dog like they’re part of our family — because while they’re with us, they are. From playtime to cuddle time, your dog will be cared for with the same love and attention we give our own. We're also happy to stick to any routines or special instructions you provide to help your pup feel right at home. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in a warm, trustworthy environment where they’re truly valued and loved

About: My wife Diana and I run the Barksville Pet Waggin here in Clarksville. We have been growing our pet/home sitting business steadily for the last 15 years. We moved from Texas 4 years ago. Before that we served as pet sitters in the Austin, TX area for 3 years. Prior to moving to the Austin area, we had numerous clients throughout El Paso and Las Cruces, NM. We have experience caring for animals of all sizes, varieties and ages, administering pet medication including shots, walks, and caring for animals with special needs. We have significant experience with older animals who need special care. We also have experience dealing with larger dog breeds who can be a challenge to care for or walk. We have cared for a wide variety of animals in the past including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, goats, chickens, geese, horses and even an alpaca!! When away we’ll make sure that your fur-children have lots of cuddles and playtime. We enjoy helping fur babies get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy until mommy or daddy return. We look forward to meeting all the loving pets and pet parents that Clarksville has to offer. We share pet sitting jobs as that way we can have more availability to care for your pets at different times. I am now doing pet care full time as my only job. We are currently offering overnight pet sitting and drop-in visits and/or walks, anytime you need. We do our best to accommodate and match you and your pet's needs. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We have quite a few regular clients and they would be happy to give you references for us at any time, just ask. We look forward to hearing from you and setting up a meet and greet to meet your fur babies!! I am a full time pet sitting professional. My wife works but helps out and we often share overnight duties. Having two of us does often help with flexibility in scheduling. We also do have a team of background checked and trusted pet sitters who work for us who help fill in the schedule when we can’t. These sitters are trained, insured and supervised by us. You will get the same Barksville Pet Waggin quality from all of our sitters and you will know, meet and approve in advance of who will be in your home if we are unable to do your sitting. You will know BEFORE you book if we are not available. Anyone booking for a holiday period must pay one month in advance and these reservations are non refundable. Half of the reservation amount can be credited towards a future booking. ** If you are booking an overnight pet sitting we do require an actual bed to sleep in. An air mattress in the living room or couch surfing is not going to work for us. If you want older more reliable people you get older bad backs that require a real bed. If you would like care in our home we could take small dogs there. We have a fenced yard and one small dog of our own. Diana’s mom is home full time so pups would have supervision all day.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and it’s something I truly love. When I lived in Florida for about 9 years, I regularly pet sat for families, including overnight and extended stays of up to a month, as well as drop-in visits for walks and playtime. I genuinely connect with the animals I care for—I still remember and think about the dogs I’ve watched over the years. I believe the Lord created animals with love and purpose, and caring for them is something He has placed on my heart. I treat every pet like they are my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience with basic training, including potty training, leash walking, and teaching dogs to sit and wait. What sets me apart is the attention, patience, and heart I bring into this work—I don’t just watch pets, I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I truly love caring for pets and enjoy getting to know each pet and their unique needs. I currently work Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 AM–3:00 PM in Nolensville, so I have more limited availability during those hours. I’m happy to work with families around my schedule to provide their pets with loving and dependable care.I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, and overnight care as needed. Whether it’s regular drop in visits or extended stays, I prioritize consistency, reliability, and being fully present to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide care exclusively in my clients homes so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow each owners instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, routines, medication, if needed, and any specific preferences or habits the pet has. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while maintaining their normal routine my goal is to keep them happy, safe, and as stress-free as possible, while their owners are away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Clarksville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Clarksville is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 522 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Clarksville. 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 Clarksville. 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 , 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 Clarksville 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 , 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 .

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

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
