About: I have done on and off sitting since childhood, predominantly medium and big dogs as well as cats, however all are welcome! I can administer medicine with food, and take special time playing or cuddling your sweet baby! I have a very open schedule! Any requirements I have outside of taking care of your best friend I am able to do virtually and at any time of day, so it won't prevent me from the care they deserve. I can keep a close eye on your pet(s), and I'll make sure to play with them so they don't feel restless. I try to show up with as much love and care I am physically capable of. I've always been drawn to animals, (even more than humans sometimes lol) so believe me when I say that my top priority is making sure your pet(s) are happy and healthy with me!

“My walker has been fantastic with Olive. She’s reliable, communicates well, sends great updates and photos, and I really appreciate knowing Olive gets a good walk, some attention, and a midday break while I’m at work. Olive clearly enjoys her time with her, which is probably the best review I can give. Also, the detailed poop reporting has become unexpectedly important to me. 😂 Highly recommend.”

About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty and get exercise. I love cuddling and making sure they feel special!

About: 10+ years experience in the veterinary field. I am comfortable with all breeds and personalities. Providing both peace of mind and exceptional care while you’re away. Hello! My name is Jennifer, but I go by my middle name, Laurel. I’ve been working with animals my entire life. I started my career at the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Hospital in 2006 and I’ve been pet sitting since 2008. Although I took a break around 2020, I’m back doing what I love while I’m enrolled in college courses. Thank you for the opportunity to be your pet sitter while you’re away! I do require that all pets be on a leash or within a secure fenced yard. I do not feel comfortable providing off leash walks in the event your pup gets startled or scared.

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs, now help with my dad’s dog, have watched several seasons of dog training shows and just genuinely like animals. We have chickens, a cat and my dad’s (once upon a time service) dog with us as well. I’m currently caretaking for my father with the help of caregivers and do not have major obligations during the day and have my youngest still at home with me so I’ll have plenty of time to dog walk or just check in on them while you are away. We currently have my dad’s service dog and I had two dogs growing up whom I loved dearly. I have also had cats and my daughter currently has one whom I care for since my daughter is young. I feel each individual person cares for their pets in the way that is best for them. I will be sure to care for your animal in the way you believe is best!

About: I’ve always LOVED animals of any kind. (Used to want to be a vet but realized it was too hard to see animals in distress). We’ve had dogs and cats in our home since I was a little girl. I’ve had over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and other small pets for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a sweet spot for animals and would do my upmost best to ensure your baby is taken care of to the best of my abilities. I will treat your pet with the same care I would my own. My personality is this: patient, calm, gentle, and detail oriented. I also believe heavily in communication and will always appreciate a pet owner who also likes communication. Communication is very important to me because I want to make sure I can do my job to the best of my abilities. I currently have my own 1 year old terrier and have done everything from potty training, crate training and obedience training. I want all of my customers to rest assured their fur babies will get the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible so I can make the time to take care of your pets! I work throughout the week including some weekends and can take your pet out as frequently as they need. Just reach out and let me know what you’re looking for. I have a fenced in yard outside, suited for small to medium dogs. I also live in a house in a neighborhood that is suitable for walking your pet if you would like. I also make sure that my home is free of any dangers or anything toxic to any pets. I raised both puppies and kittens and know how to properly ensure animals are taken care of appropriately.

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Karns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Karns is $17 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 1,103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Karns. 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 Karns. 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 Karns 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 Karns. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
