About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.

Hannah has been great since the first day she started! She loves the dogs and she gets them out for nice walks while I am unable to walk them. She shows up at the agreed upon time and is very reliable! Hannah is definitely a great dog walker.

Lauren is great with my boys. They just loved her. She took them to the park near by so they could take them on a good walk. Unfortunately our townhome complex is small and doesn’t have sidewalks and area for walking but Lauren made it happen. Thank you.

About: Over the past 11 years, I have dedicated myself to the lifelong care of my two dogs, gaining an intimate understanding of canine development from puppyhood through their senior years. This journey has fostered a deep-seated passion for pet advocacy and specialized care. Whether meticulously managing Cookie’s daily medical regimen for allergies or providing a steady, reassuring presence for Snowball’s anxiety, I approach every unique need with unwavering patience and heart. I am committed to bringing this same level of attentive, high-standard care to your pets, ensuring their health and emotional well-being are always the top priority. I work full-time remote so I can care for your pets almost on a 24/7 basis guaranteeing that they are looked after. I can take breaks whenever as needed, so I can fully tailor to your pets' potty schedule. I have a fenced in backyard for your pets to freely roam outside. While inside, we don't restrict any area from pets. We have two dogs to keep your pets company.

About: I love all dogs and genuinely care about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. In addition to caring for my family’s and friends’ pets, I previously worked for a professional pet care company that was fully insured and highly rated by clients. In that role, I was trusted with clients’ home keys, cared for pets in their homes, and maintained the high standards expected of a professional pet sitter. This experience taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and treating every pet and home with respect. I love going on walks, playing in the yard, and giving plenty of cuddles and attention. I have a toy Cavapoo puppy of my own, so I am also comfortable caring for puppies and understand that they often require extra patience, supervision, and specialized care. I also have two large dog “nephews and nieces” that I regularly spend time with, so I am comfortable handling and genuinely enjoy dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to large breeds. While dogs are my specialty, I also have experience with cats and previously lived with one, making me comfortable caring for feline friends as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I am extremely respectful of your space. I make every effort to leave your home exactly as I found it by keeping things clean and tidy, turning off lights, locking doors, and following any household instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that both your pet and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved furry family member! I am currently in a doctorate program, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the entire week. Because my schedule varies, I am often available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and other pet care needs at different times of the day. I am a naturally spontaneous and adaptable person, so working with changing schedules is something I genuinely enjoy. I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs and will work with you to ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care whenever it is needed. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. I take that responsibility seriously and always strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience. While caring for your pet, I will treat your home with the same care and consideration that I would my own. I make an effort to maintain a clean environment, clean up after myself and your pet, secure doors and windows, and follow any household instructions you provide. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that looks just as you left it, or exactly as you would expect it to be.

About: Hi, I’m David, a dog lover based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I believe every dog deserves more than just a quick walk around the block. Whether we’re exploring a local trail, enjoying a neighborhood walk, or spending time playing and relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I enjoy volunteering with dog outing programs and have discovered that working with dogs is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra affection, I’ll provide the care and companionship they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and working with animals. I schedule my day to ensure each pet receives individualized attention, exercise, companionship, and consistent care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended stay, I make reliability and punctuality a priority so pets can maintain their normal routine and feel comfortable while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before providing care. In a client’s home, I strive to maintain a calm, familiar environment and follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During walks and visits, I remain attentive to the pet’s behavior and surroundings, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little and learned the importance of care needed especially with certain breeds. I personally have a Great Pyrenees mix now and he is my whole world. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, Labs, Cane Corsos, and Brindles. I have trained these dogs before and know how to read body language. I have been a dog sitter for even little fur-babies, such as yorkies and chihuahuas🩷 i love to go on long walks and play games with pups. I’m an ER Nurse and work three days a week, overall my pup gets all the attention he needs with the help of my spouse that takes care of him as well. We do long walks every morning and get tons of play time and socializing at public dog parks in the area. I will treat any animal as if it’s my own!! I take extra care of any fur-baby that I can, they are in my opinion our best friends and need to be treated as such. I will take all the time needed to do walks, play fetch, or do some fun training! If the pup is friendly and wants a friend I can even bring my own fur-baby so it’s a play date!

Kaylee was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time trying Rover and now I'll definitely be using it again. She was great at giving consistent updates and super considerate about my pup! Kaylee kept my sweet boy comfortable throughout the fourth of July weekend. I could tell he was so happy and calm when I returned especially compared to when I've boarded him in the past.

About: I've spent several years caring for animals through both my education and professional experience. I am currently studying veterinary medicine at UTCVM, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats, recognizing signs of illness, understanding animal behavior, and learning proper restraint techniques to keep pets safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and kittens, senior pets, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and can carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions you provide. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am currently a student at UTCVM, so visits during the week would be before class and after class. On the weekends, I am open to almost everything that fits your pets schedule! When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pet with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any household rules you've established. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before taking pets outside and never allow off-leash walks unless they're in a safely enclosed area and you've specifically requested it. I understand that every pet is different. Some love to play and be active, while others simply want companionship and a calm environment. I adjust my care to meet each pet's individual needs and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Communication is also very important to me. I'll provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

About: I have helped care for friends and family animals for the last several years. I adopted a fur baby of my own early January 2020. I work from home and can provide walks throughout the day. The flexibility of working from home allows time to care and engage with your fur baby. My neighborhood is dog friendly with a fenced in dog park and walking path. It’s a wonderful place to let out energy. I have a 5 year old cockapoo, Maggie, who gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy keeping your fur baby company. I love all animals and will treat yours as my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to help care for their beloved four-legged friends for years, so I know I can care for yours with as much love as I'd give my own. I've had my own little girl live with me even while at college and I know how important they can be to us. I’m comfortable with all size furry friends! I am currently a medical student, so I have early morning, sometimes lunch, or evening availability to take care of your loved ones. I am also available on most weekends. I have an electric fence at my home, but my dogs are trained well enough that they can often be let out without worry. If I am watching your fur baby, I will provide one-on-one attention and treat them as my own.

About: My dogs are my family. With so many years of experience, you can feel comfortable that your dog is well taken care of and loved while you focus on other important priorities like work, kids, vacation, etc! I am a stay at home mom who needs to get out of the house and make extra cash. What better way to do that then by spending time with your dog?! I have two pups (English setter and lab) who I am home with all day. One is crate trained and the other is free to roam the house (I don’t quite trust the ES puppy yet lol). I am able to provide care specific to your dogs needs.

I had a wonderful experience working with Alicia. She was reliable, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. My pup came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised after every walk. I also appreciated her communication and care—she treated my dog like her own. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Karns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Karns on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,159 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Karns.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Karns. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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