“Anna was fantastic with my puppy Lucille! She was very communicative, always on time, and provided the best updates to keep me at ease while she was in walking Lucille. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone and would gladly rebook her!”
“Jasmin is a fantastic dog walker! She quickly earned my dog's trust, and I could tell he was in great hands. Jasmin is also very responsive and dependable, always confirming visits promptly. I especially appreciate the cute pictures and summaries she sends after each walk. Highly recommend!”
About: I have enjoyed being surrounded by dogs my whole life. From my nana and papas springer spaniel, Lily. To my own 14 year old Boston terrier, Moxy. I will provide love, attention, and dependable care for your best friend. Whether it’s a puppy who needs an energetic, fast walk. To taking it slow and easy with a sweet senior pup. I am here to provide the best for your companion! I love to stay active and moving. Trying to go for a walk everyday. Having a furry friend on my walk would elevate my experience. I also work a part time job so my work life is accommodating for any pet care needs. Respect of others homes is a #1 priority for me. I grew up doing neighborhood babysitting jobs. So I learned first hand how to take care of others homes. Having had a dog of my own I also understand all the house chores that go into pet care.
About: I have worked at a boarding kennel for the past three years and have been the main caretaker for my own two dogs and cat for the past ten. I have been a veterinary clinic assistant for the past year and have also had experience with exotic animals abroad. I am pursuing a career in animal care and appreciate any opportunity to further my experience and spend time caring for your furry family! I am a full time student at UTK and participate in army ROTC, however I can be flexible and make time, especially on the weekends. I can care for pets in any situation, kenneled or not. I am very flexible and can change any care preferences to your needs and/or standards.
About: I’ve owned pets all my life, usually more than one. From shorkies to Great Danes to calico cats, I love animals! We’ve got a fenced in yard, and I love taking advantage of the parks around town for walks! Just looking to get out more. I’m a stay at home mom, so I have lots of flexibility! I have no set schedule but have no issues starting one up any time. I have a dog, cat and baby, all of which are comfortable with other animals. Plus we have a fenced in yard and crates available.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love spending time walking, playing, and caring for them. I know every pup has their own personality, from silly, energetic zoomies to laid-back cuddle bugs, and I enjoy meeting them where they’re at. You can count on me to keep your dog happy, safe, and loved like one of my own! I’m currently working online while obtaining my master’s degree, which means I’m home and available throughout the day. I love taking outdoor breaks or quick walks for coffee, and I’d love to bring your pup along for some fresh air and exercise! My loft downtown is a safe, pet-friendly space where your dog can feel right at home. I don’t have pets of my own, so your pup will get my full attention. With a dog park just down the block, outdoor play and exercise are always part of our day!
About: I’ve been a life-long pet owner, caring for dogs, horses, cats, and even chickens! I have experience working with all kinds of dogs, from nervous rescues to seniors who need a bit more attention. I work part time at a dog grooming salon. I try to pick up jobs between part time hours or collage classes during the school year. I’m only strictly unavailable between 10 pm and 6 am. I am more than happy to adhere to any accommodations or requests from my clients for any service! I highly value respecting the client’s pet and property.
“Initially, I was anxious since it was my first time using Rover dog walking service. Kaylin was the first individual besides me that has walked Idris. She was very attentive to my baby’s needs. I’m still training my dog; and, she was happy to follow the “phases” I use when I’m with him. Consistent communication through texting and sending photos. From the photos she sent me, Idris was always smiling. She actually helped reassured me that my Idris is a social butterfly. Without a doubt, your dog will be in great, caring hands.”
About: I’m extremely patient and so loving! At college I’m not able to have dogs and sometimes I’m between foster cats so I start missing animals. I know how treasured and important they are to us and I will always show them love when you’re gone! I’m taking four classes from home this summer so I’m super flexible time wise. I can take a break from the work to come walk, or if I’m dog sitting I can do the work while being in their presence! I will only be caring for pets at your homes, but I take the time to make sure they feel safe and loved before walking them or before letting them out! And if I house sit them I make sure that I’m spending plenty of time with them because socialization is super important.
About: Hello! I am new to this app, but I have taken care of dogs since I was 16 (3 years) in all forms: dropping in (x) times a day into owner’s home, bringing dog to my home (with my mom and dad that love dogs too!), staying in owner’s home, and dog walking. I am new to this app! I go to college at University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have a flexible schedule and want to spend my free-time doing what I love- being with dogs! I live in a pet-friendly apartment right off the interstate- so I am an easy commute away from all directions in the Knoxville vicinity. I have a cavalier back at my home (Nashville), Scout, who is extremely gentle, quiet, and can’t get enough of being around other dogs.
About: I've taken care of my house dog since he was a puppy. I've also watched after neighborhood pets (including senior dogs and cats) for 2 years! I am working part time and will be in school so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets as long as I have a couple days notice :) I love playing with pets as well as cuddling or even just keeping them company (pets that don't like to play). I will also follow your pet care instructions as closely as possible!
About: I have had pets my entire life!!! From puppies and kittens to older dogs, I have been around a ton of animals! I have also worked with aggressive and shy dogs too! I am currently a student, so I have lots of breaks during the day in between classes! I do remote work as well so my schedule is pretty open! I have an apartment and plenty of space to take care of a dog. I am great with walking dogs and know a lot of parks and spots for dogs to play in the area!
About: I love animals! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens. You name it, we probably had it! I’ve fostered a senior dog and babysat my sister’s puppy, but I’m just not ready to commit to getting a pup of my own. I’m currently studying for a professional exam for my career. I have the opportunity to go over and let your pets out at any time :) I can easily crate your pet! I’m relative strong and can move your pet around when needed although I prefer for them to move themselves of course! It’s not a problem if you have a stubborn pet though!
“Taylor is great with my high energy dog! She communicates with me so well! She walks/plays fetch with my dog twice a week and gives picture updates every time! We love her!”
About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve had since they were puppies. I also have experience caring for and walking neighborhood and family friends pets. I’m currently a student at the University of Tennessee and have classes throughout the week but I have plenty of free time to care and spend time with your pets. I will make sure to provide your pets with the same love and care that they are given. I have two dogs of differing sizes so I know how to handle both and have worked with many other animals.

Kendra F.
“Kendra is the most caring, nurturing, loving pet care giver I have ever had experience with. She treats all pets as if they are her own; giving lots of love and attention, walks, snuggles, treats (as allowed), fun activities, etc. I call Kendra the "dog whisperer", as she just has a very unique calming effect on pets around her. She has two dogs and a cat of her own (since she was very young) and is the primary caregiver for those pets when she is back home in WI. Kendra has a heart made to care for animals! You will NOT be disappointed with her care. Your fur babies will want Kendra to come back again and again!”

Ella S.
“Ella is an exceptional dog walker who brings a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals to her services. With 5 months of walking dogs on the Wag app, she has developed a keen understanding of canine behavior and care. Her part-time job at a dog groomer further enhances her knowledge, making her an even more capable caregiver. As a full-time student at the University of Tennessee, Ella demonstrates remarkable time management skills, ensuring she is always reliable and punctual. Her dedication to her own horse is a testament to her commitment to animal welfare. In my experience, Ella has been outstanding—always on time, communicative, and attentive to our dog's needs. Our pet adores her, and I trust her completely. I highly recommend Ella to anyone seeking a top-notch dog walker on Rover.”
