About: Hey, my name is Olivia! I'm a licensed veterinary nurse with a minor in cognitive science. I've worked in full service clinics and also have past experience working at Camp Bow Wow as a yard supervisor and was responsible for overseeing 25 dogs at once. I offer walking and check in services! I currently work as a part time nanny. My work schedule consists of Mon, Thurs, and Fri from 12-6. I'm available outside of these hours!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically my entire life. My household has reached its limit on pets but I would love to care and help out any pets I can. I’ve fostered with Young Williams many times. I love dogs of any ages! I’m currently stay at home and so I can give my full attention to any pets in my home! My own dogs are good companions and love friends I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own, as well as a separate bedroom for any dogs in need of their own space. My dogs are crate trained and can be put away at any time to make another pup feel welcome and calmed! Routine is big in this house and always makes the animals feel better.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and I always prioritize safety, patience, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos during walks or visits. I’m also flexible with scheduling and available for last-minute requests. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, or pet care. I only work Sundays and Mondays, so I have open availability the rest of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also available for last-minute bookings and happy to work around your schedule. I always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and taken care of. I’ll follow whatever routine you have, whether that’s walks, feeding, or anything specific they need.

About: I have 7+ years of pet care experience and work as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital when I’m not in school! I have the energy and patience your pet needs! I am currently a Pre-Veterinary student at UTK! I’m taking a gap year after I graduate and then hoping to become a small animal veterinarian. I currently work on a dairy farm which I absolutely love and I am walking part-time while I am taking classes! I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (4:05-5:20) so I have plenty of time to get outside and love to do so! My rescue dog is a senior now but still has that chihuahua energy! She can get aggressive with other members of my household so I’m definitely not phased by diffusing that situation. As long as you give her some love she is an angel! She has very few teeth left as well so I have to make her a little concoction of soft food for her meals. No food order is too much for me to take on! I have cared for dogs and cats of all different sizes and dispositions in my time at the veterinary hospital so you don’t need to worry!
About: Been pet sitting since I was in high school for all sorts of dogs and cats, and currently working in a clinic as a vet assistant. Currently a university student and working part time, most of my availability is on weekends or on evenings but I am able to make time! I love to keep animals company and love on them, play with them, whatever they need! I am comfortable with large and small dogs, old or young, and cats as well!!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 and have also had pets since I was born! I love all dogs no matter the breed, size, or age! I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday routine! I’m used to making time for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I have two friendly dogs at home who love having company! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I enjoy taking my dogs on walks, playing outside, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles.
“Sarah really took her time to let our dogs warm up to her, that took a while, and then she even completed the entire walk time after that. She was very communicative & committed. Thank you Sarah!”

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.

About: Over ten years of experience not just taking care of my own dogs but let sitting for others peoples pets. From pets over 100 pounds to pets that are barely 10 pounds. So I’ll typically be available from 6am-8 then 2-4 then 8:30-10. I work with kids in their homes and this can change from time to time. The first thing that I always like to do is get to know our little friends although I take caution with all pets some needs a little more then others. Is this friend really smart and will open the door? Then I have to add a child lock. Will this friend take off at the sight of a cat? Then I have to hold them more firmly. It depends on the buddy I’m with

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!

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.

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.
