About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 12 years old, and I’ve had pets my entire life.

I truly love animals and enjoy being a part of their well-being by providing them with a safe, healthy, and loving environment.

Scheduling will just depend on appointments, homework, and whatever else I may have going on that day. I can easily meet your needs! I’ve cared bigger for pets and smaller, and have had no issues.

About: Hi everyone! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15, and walking dogs since I was 10 years old. I have pet-sat a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I also have experience with any age or health status- senior dogs, kittens, medicated pets, etc. In general, I’ve experienced many different circumstances, so I can adjust easily. Animals have been a lifelong interest for me. I was the girl begging my parents for a dog, and I take care of my current roommate’s cat frequently while she’s away. I promise to nourish, entertain, and take care of your pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a college senior, though I only have on-campus classes twice a week. This means I can be present quite often for your pet. 4-6 hours or more between feeding/potty breaks is ideal for me. Besides that, I'm quite flexible. In my college house, we already have a cat, and my family back home has a dog; needless to say, I'm used to caring for pets in my free time. I can only pet-sit at the client's house. Due to my roommates and the cat we have, I'm unable to board a pet. I always keep a close eye on the pet's behavior and ensure they're fed on time every day. If they get into something, I'll clean them up no problem. I also have a list of emergency vets I'm prepared to go to if the client doesn't have a preferred vet of their own. However, my specific care of the pet(s) depends on the client's instructions and preferences.
About: As a dedicated pet caregiver, I have experience providing loving and attentive care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and administering medications, I ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet parents trust me for my reliability, patience, and genuine passion for animals, always treating their furry companions as if they were my own. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to take care your dog and I’m very flexible for boarding times weekdays or weekends I have very long open trail for walking and lot of toys to keep them engaged and my sweet dog Luna(golden retriever) to give your dog the prefect company!!
About: I've got a passion for taking care of animals. They make our daily lives brighter. I've had my own cat and dog since age 8 and have pet sat others as well. I've got a part-time job in childcare from 3-6 during weekdays. As well as a part-time life-guarding job in the mornings some days during the weekdays, and midday some weekends. My holidays tend to be more open because I don't have work for my childcare job. Beings away from your pet is stressful for both the owner and the pet. I want to disrupt your pets daily schedule as little as possible. Keeping your pet as happy as possible is my main priority.

“We absolutely love Nicole! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she instantly earned our trust. She’s kind, communicates clearly and reliably, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she works with. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals my whole life. My parents have 4 dogs and 2 cats, and I have helped care for them in all phases of life. I now have a dog of my own, Banjo, who is 1 year old and so spoiled. I truly just love pets and will treat your animals as if they are my own! I am open to caring for pets of all sizes and ages! I work Monday through Thursday, so my schedule those days is not very flexible. However, I am off Friday through Sunday and am available those days! I know leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be intimidating, but I promise I will care for your animal like it’s my own and give it all the attention and love it deserves. I will send as many (or as few) pictures as you need to know that your baby is in good hands!

Courtney did amazing with my young puppy. I was very grateful that she walked him over a mile!! That is really hard to do with a puppy but made me feel better being away. She had great communication and she loved on him. Highly recommend booking with Courtney.
Haley did an incredible job with our boys and even helped out with our kitty while we were on vacation this weekend! She was punctual and listened to our needs for all of our fur babies thoroughly! We loved the constant updates she provided and will definitely be using her services again when we go out of town in the future! Thank you so much Haley!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Knoxville is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 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 1,105 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Knoxville. 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 Knoxville. 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 Knoxville 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 Knoxville. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
