About: I grew up with animals, so I learned how to care for them at a young age. My sister worked with a dog training company and often employed my help. Whatever your furball needs, I am the girl! I am a college student who is going to be home for summer break, and I’m looking for a fun way to earn some cash. I will have a lot of free time this summer, so I am excited to get to spend it with animals! I have cared animals of all types (horses, chickens,etc) so there’s nothing new under the sun for me. If you prefer your animal to be crated or in the backyard while I’m away, I have no problem with that. I pride myself on being flexible and adaptable.

Stephanie walked our black lab Hank without any issues. Great communication and knew when he did not like the rain and wanted to go back inside. She stayed with him in the house for a few minutes as well. Will definitely let her walk him again!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and have hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with pets, I learned early on the importance of providing consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly helped friends, neighbors, and family members by pet sitting and caring for their dogs and cats. My experience includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, sick animals requiring extra attention, untrained dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges or aggression. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am reliable, patient, attentive, and committed to giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I work a flexible and non demanding remote job, giving me plenty of time throughout the day to provide attentive pet care. I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, and lots of companionship to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets have constant access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs, including senior pets, sick animals, untrained dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I always take the time to build trust with each pet and monitor them closely to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away.

About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers and have lived with and cared for 1 to 3 dogs my entire life! I have cared for dogs of varying breeds ranging from puppies and small dogs all the way to a 150+ pound Great Dane. I have two pups: an extremely friendly almost 3 year old re-homed golden doodle and a rambunctious 10 month old mixed breed rescue. I have lived with and/or cared for a Great Dane, husky/malamute, boxer, pitbull mixes, chow chow mix, among many others. I’ve dealt with resource guarding, have experience with senior care, and am excellent with basic command training. I would love to meet your pups and help make their lives even more enriching! I am currently doing freelance work from home as well as working at a restaurant. My schedule varies a bit week to week, but I usually have plenty of time for drop in visits and walks! I am happy to come to your home and follow whatever routine works for your furry friend. I can take dogs on walks in nearby parks or drive them somewhere if they’re comfortable in cars!

About: I've had cats and dogs since the day I was born. I spent years giving my 14 year old dog insulin injections until he passed. I have cared for neighbors' and family members' newborn puppies and senior dogs. I can give medication, feed, and transport your pets to your specifications, and most of all I love animals! I am a student at UT Knoxville! Typically I have class from around 8am-4pm Mon/Wed/Fri, and 2-4pm Tuesday/Thursday. My schedule is very flexible, so I can check on or care for pets during that time! I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and various pets for years, and can't wait to care for yours too! I can give doses of medication if necessary, feed 3+ times a day, and I know the importance of staying hydrated, so I will always keep the water bowl full! Let me know if you have any questions.

About: I work at an ER and specialty medicine clinic so have truly seen it all with dogs of all ages. I work primarily on an internal medicine team and often pick up ER shifts. I have finished my first year of veterinary school and will continue to my second year in the fall, so have all sorts of knowledge about your dog(s)! I grew up with dogs, and have worked as a dog sitter/caretaker for years. My roles have ranged from daily care to basic grooming. I worked as a dog walker for a summer as well, and assisted with grooming this dog in addition to overall basic care. Overall, these qualifications make me an excellent caretaker for your loved ones! I work 8 am-8 pm at a veterinary hospital Monday-Wednesday. Other than that, I got to church Sunday mornings. I’m free the rest of the time! I care for the pets in a client’s home with a holistic approach. I ask specific questions to make sure I understand the animal’s needs and routine before or upon arriving. I want to fit into the animal’s life as an asset to their wellbeing, not as a stressor working against it. I read or listen carefully to instruction to make sure I am well equipped to go above and beyond in loving your pets. They will be my first priority during the time they are in my care, rest assured.

About: I have owned pets of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. I grew up helping family friends care for shelter dogs prior to adoption including feeding, walking and playing with them. I am a student at the University of Tennessee working at the TRECS and taking classes this summer. Aside from school and work, my schedule is extremely flexible and I am willing to accommodate for whatever hours are needed. I always ensure that the home is in the same condition as when I first arrived. I love spending time with dogs and will stay as long as needed for them to feel comfortable while their family is away.

About: Since I was a boy, I have lived and grown up with Mastiffs, a German Shepherd, Doberman, a Boxer, and Rottweilers. At 15 I began dog and cat sitting for people in my hometown, Soddy Daisy. Not only can I handle the physical demands of pet sitting, I enjoy it! Dogs and cats with special needs and have to be carried are no problem. I've cared for my neighbor's dog, Bandit, who suffers from trauma and anxiety, for several years. I'm a college student in my senior year, and as such I have classes through the week. I need to be on campus by 9am (8am on Wednesdays) and am typically done after 5pm. Nights and weekends are ideal! If you have an overnight obligation and need a pet sitter, then you're in the right place. I've lived with dogs since I was born. My mother is a certified pet trainer, and I learned to take the time and energy training our dogs with a compassionate hand. Each of the pets I've had possessed unique personalities, so I know some adaptation is needed at all times. In your home, my job as a pet sitter is to stand by your established rules, making sure your pet knows I follow the same rules they do.

About: I've always been dedicated to my pets growing up, and loved to meet with other's pets. While I'm relatively new to professional pet care, I've watched my family and friends' pets since my youth! I'm dedicated to communicating with pet parents while I care for their pets to make sure they have the best experience possible. I have experience administering oral (dogs) and transdermal/ear medications (cats). My schedule is currently open and flexible! I am a recent UTK grad, and although I have completed my studies as a college student, I am continuing work on one of my projects, and most of my work is from the computer, and am also partaking in a field internship a couple days out of the week. I am taking a break from other forms of work, so I'm very available to help you with your petsitting needs. I am a morning person and would work well with 'early bird' pets, but can be flexible if a pet needs a late night let out, medication, or other attention during late night hours. I share my house with roommates and their pets, so I'd prefer to watch your pet in your home unless I've gotten to know and built trust with your pet over several visits. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, including time together on the couch watching a show, napping together, or going out for strolls or to the park to relax outside.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Knoxville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Knoxville on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,138 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 your Knoxville. 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 Knoxville.

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 Knoxville. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
