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.

Elle is the very best! Conscientious and loving towards our cranky old dog, she won him over and we all are so sad to see her go onto bigger and better things! (Especially Woody!) Thanks Elle! You rock and deserve only the highest of praise! I give you SIX stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stephanie has been such a great walker and an absolute lifesaver when it comes to last minute scheduling! Finn seems to have a blast with her! She leaves a thorough rover card about everything that goes on during their walks and plenty of pictures. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable walker!

About: I experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and even helped run a small petting zoo with goats, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise when I was younger. I’ve also worked alongside veterinary offices and rescues, caring for cats and rabbits. For the past year, I’ve been dog sitting and walking regularly, and I’m comfortable with large breeds, puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m very patient, pay close attention to behavior, and always follow care instructions carefully to keep pets safe and comfortable. Pet care is basically my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable, flexible and consistent for every pet I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m very mindful of safety making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect your home and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m David, a dog lover based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I believe every dog deserves more than just a quick walk around the block. Whether we’re exploring a local trail, enjoying a neighborhood walk, or spending time playing and relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I enjoy volunteering with dog outing programs and have discovered that working with dogs is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra affection, I’ll provide the care and companionship they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and working with animals. I schedule my day to ensure each pet receives individualized attention, exercise, companionship, and consistent care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended stay, I make reliability and punctuality a priority so pets can maintain their normal routine and feel comfortable while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before providing care. In a client’s home, I strive to maintain a calm, familiar environment and follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During walks and visits, I remain attentive to the pet’s behavior and surroundings, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.

About: Hi there! My boyfriend and I live in a pet-friendly apartment, and we’d love to welcome your furry friend into our home. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and to me, pets are family—no exceptions. Caring for animals is my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or training sessions, I love spending quality time making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I also understand how to build trust with new pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Their well-being is my top priority, so you can rest assured that your pet will receive the same love and attention as my own. I have two dogs who I adore taking on walks, and I honestly feel like it’s almost a crime to go to the park or beach without them! They get multiple walks throughout the day, and on weekends, we love going for hikes. During the weekdays, we visit local parks or dog parks for some fresh air and exercise. When caring for pets, I prioritize attention, activity, and comfort. For example, I recently boarded an energetic young dog overnight. After feeding him the food his owner provided, my boyfriend and I took him to the dog park, where he had a blast running around and socializing for an hour. Afterward, we walked him alongside my dog to help him settle in. At home, I made him a cozy bed in our room, played with him, and showered him with pets and attention to ease any anxiety about being away from his owners. By the end of the night, he insisted on sleeping in bed with us—exception granted! What You Can Expect: ✔️ Daily Walks & Exercise – All dogs go on multiple walks, and weekend stays include a dog park or hiking trip. ✔️ Plenty of Play & Attention – Whether your pet loves to play or just cuddle, I make sure they feel at home. ✔️ Feeding & Special Care – Pets are fed in the morning and around dinner time (or as per your instructions). ✔️ Safe & Comfortable Stay – Dogs are welcome to sleep in my room, but they’re free to find their own cozy spot. ✔️ Cat-Friendly Care – Cats can roam freely, receive fresh litter changes every 1-2 days, and even get a warm cloth bath if needed. I open my home to your pets as if it were their own—it’s always a joy to have them around! I’d love to learn more about your pet’s needs and personality. Let’s chat! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention and care for pets. My beagle gets regular walks throughout the day, ensuring plenty of exercise and fresh air. On weekends, we love going on hikes or visiting the park for extra adventure and playtime. With my flexible routine, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means scheduled walks, play sessions, or extra cuddle time! Pets in my home are treated like family. My dog, Knox, spends his days napping in his favorite spot, chewing on a bone, or playing hide-and-seek with me. Our apartment is calm and quiet, making it a comfortable space for pets to relax. When Knox isn’t resting, we’re out on walks or enjoying some playtime. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention, ensuring they feel safe and at home!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oak Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Oak Ridge 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 1,102 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.
