About: I have a genuine passion for caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I love being active and going on walks, and I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m currently enrolled in a doctoral program and complete my coursework from home, which gives me full control of my schedule and plenty of flexibility. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. I am in school full time at home so my schedule is very flexible and likely can adjust to you and your pets personal needs! I have a friendly 30 pound dog who does well with others. I also have a yard for your pet to run and play in!

Anna was fantastic with my puppy Lucille! She was very communicative, always on time, and provided the best updates to keep me at ease while she was in walking Lucille. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone and would gladly rebook her!

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and treat every animal as if they’re my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats with a wide range of personalities. I’m comfortable administering medication, handling anxious or senior pets, and following detailed feeding or training routines. I’ve volunteered with local shelters, so I understand how to build trust with animals who need extra patience and compassion. Reliability, empathy, and safety always come first. I’m currently a law student in downtown Knoxville, with classes Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I’m available for pet care afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My mornings before class and nights are also flexible for quick drop-ins or feeding visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm and secure environment where cats feel at ease and cared for. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine to build consistency and trust. I carefully follow all instructions, including medication, feeding times, and favorite toys, and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to make every visit safe, stress free, and filled with love

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, so my schedule is usually very flexible during the day and on the weekends! I can plan my routine around your pets. 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: Beverly here!!My entire life we have always had pets around. I have cared for dogs small and large. I have experienced with many animals from cats to goats. I love animals and have a hard time not referring to them as people.I have worked with puppies and also older dogs. I help care and walk my family and friends animals. I have experience with staying overnight and also just drop ins or day walking. I really care for the animals and love each personality they each have. I love to take an animal on car rides or a run on the road. If a pet is in need of bathing I have experience washing both large and small dogs. I am currently working part time. My hours and days can vary but there are times in my day that I am able to go home and care for pets at home. I have a flexible schedule making it easy to mold to pet care needs. Although I do not have a fenced in yard I do have a pet friendly road that I can walk the pets on. I also have several porches (one being screened in) that will allow pets to enjoy leash free time outside. I would be available to walk your pet as little or as much as they require. I do have yard space to walk a pet as well. I also have the ability to crate your dog if that is your preference.

About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.

About: I love all animals, especially meeting new dogs! I am willing to travel around the Knoxville area as needed by the job. I'm very flexible and I love long walks at any speed your dog feels comfortable going at. I like exploring areas and love parks, especially finding new areas around the city. I am very patient with all ages of dogs and would love to get to know the personality and habits better. I prefer weekends or evenings for all visits due to my regular work schedule. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I prefer mornings or weekend, but have some flexibility if needed and I am willing to work with you and your pet to make sure your pets gets all the attention it needs! I have a four year old cat who lives with me and therefore cannot have your pets over. I am willing to spend as much time as needed in your neighborhood ensuring your pet gets proper exercise.

About: I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure your pet is comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your pet and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means your pet needs to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your pet. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with your pet is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they prefer! (I will also crate them depending on how you see fit.)

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so being around them feels completely natural to me. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and dogs who need a good walk to burn off some steam. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I make sure your dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they need. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning, attentive to senior dogs who need a slower pace, and always mindful of each dog’s individual personality and energy level. I take safety seriously, follow instructions closely, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day or time for walks, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, evenings, and last-minute walks as needed. I focus on safe, attentive walks that fit each dog’s energy level, follow all instructions, prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention, and make every walk enjoyable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Oakwood dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Oakwood.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times

  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
