About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I’ve lived with and cared for animals ranging from small pets to large dogs my entire life, including senior pets and those with special needs. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m attentive, patient, and happy to provide whatever extra care your pet may need. Whether that means accommodating mobility limitations, administering routine care, cleaning up accidents, or simply providing some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I’m a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my weekdays are generally busy with classes until noon. I’m typically available after that and have plenty of flexibility on weekends! My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, even if you’re not sure my schedule will work, just ask! I do not currently have the means to care for pets in my own home, but I am able to meet your pets at home and provide care however necessary!

About: Hi! My name is Beth! I absolutely love animals! My husband and I have four dogs and four cats that we care for. They are our babies! So, I know how important getting the best care for your fur babies is! I can walk, feed, play or just check in for a potty break if need be. I had an older dog that had to take medicine every day for cancer, sadly he has passed on. So I am also able to give medicine if that's what your baby needs. I am also available to check on cats. I work as a school photographer, so if you need pictures of your babies while I am caring for them I will be more than happy to provide that! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work a Monday through Friday job, usually until about 5pm. So I am available for drop-ins and walks, I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday, and then Monday through Friday in the evenings or really early mornings. I unfortunately cannot care for anymore in my home, especially since I have an over protective pit mix who is very jealous. However in the clients home, I am very respectful and a people pleaser. I will do exactly as directed to the very best of my ability.

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: Growing up I've always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I’ve got experience of 10 months at an open play facility specifically for dogs. I also have experience in senior care and more temperamental dogs who need a little more time to trust. I have a Pembroke welsh corgi who is 3 and is completely spoiled and knows it. My goal here is to make sure your dog is happy and stress free while you’re away!🐾 I currently work part time. I have every weekend off. And 1 day thru out the week off. I usually get off right before the sunset so perfect timing for night walks when it’s not so hot on the pups. (Please note I can only edit my availability out so far due to my schedule at my part time job. I update my availability as soon as I get my schedule.) 😊I would be more then happy to meet ur pup! As I do drop in visits, I will always make sure your dog has clean water and exercise. I can feed any kind of food/medication as I do understand every dog has a different diet.

About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do

Ryne earned every dollar of this 2-month long, daily walking commitment. He spent at least 30 minutes on every visit, which we hadn't always received with other Rover walkers in the past. Callie enjoyed every visit from Ryne.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oak Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Oak Ridge on Rover is $16.35 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,105 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oak Ridge. 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 Oak Ridge. 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 Oak Ridge.

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 Oak Ridge. 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.
