Dog Walkers in Rockford, TN

“Gidget did a great job taking care of my boys. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she provided.”

About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years. I also volunteer with the animal shelter in the area, so I know how important it is to meet dogs where they're at. I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.

About: I grew up around pets of all sizes and personalities, including Boxers, Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas, and have a long history of watching and caring for pets—both for friends, family, and coworkers. I truly love all pets and enjoy being around them as much as possible, especially since I don’t currently have one of my own. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Furthermore, I have experience with all age ranges, as well as pets that require specialized medical care! I hope I can earn your trust to take care of your furry family member! I currently work Monday through Friday at my full-time job. I typically am home every weekday night and have weekends off. I also live five minutes from work, which provides me with the flexibility, if needed, to come home. I provide attentive, personalized care with regular walks, playtime, and routines; pets enjoy a safe, fenced-in yard, constant supervision, and plenty of love! I’m also fortunate to have a sister who’s a veterinary technician, which gives me quick access to addressing any unexpected medical concerns.

“Lyla was great, took care of everything and followed pet care instructions to the letter. Charlie seems happy, healthy and well rested when I got home, didn't seem stressed at all and looked like he was enjoying his walks. Fish look perfect, not overfed! On the minute updates of Charlie's actions and potty break info, pictures with each update. 10/10 will hire again”

About: I’ve been blessed to have several dogs in my life and I have treated each one with love and respect! Currently, Emmitt the golden doodle (3 years old) is my fur baby and I love him with all of my heart. He is so sweet and lovable and gets along great with other dogs! I can’t wait to get to know your fur baby and spend time with him or her! I love to take dogs on walks and care for them as if they were my own. I live near a dog park and I also have a quiet small suburb area in which I live in. It would be my pleasure to put your mind at ease when it comes to your furry family member’s safety and care!

About: I’ve been a devoted pet owner since I was five years old, giving me over two decades of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and even a bird I raised for 13 years. What sets me apart is this lifelong multi-species expertise; I’m just as comfortable managing the high energy of a young puppy as I am providing the gentle, attentive monitoring required for senior pets. I pride myself on being a detail-oriented caregiver who understands the subtle body language of animals, ensuring your pets stay safe, socialized, and perfectly on their routine while you’re away I’m currently unemployed but a full time student at SNHU, wanting a side hustle in the meantime of looking for a full time job. I’m in an apartment complex so bringing animals to myself may not be the best idea if your animal isn’t friendly with other dogs. As there are plenty of people walking their dogs at any given moment throughout the day.

About: Please do not use Rovers time frame feature to put in drop off / pick up info. I do not use it. I will not honor times put into this feature on Rover if you use it. See more info below. I have been a dog owner all my life. I have worked in an adoption center, participated in foster / adopt transportations, and have fostered. I have never been able to leave my furry friend with a boarding service for fear that something would happen or he would get lonely. So I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust to take care of him/her until you return. Your pet will be part of our family. I've never been restrictive to my pets so yours will be allowed as much freedom as you would like him/her to have. **Please note: I do NOT go by the time frames that Rover gives you. I have no way of showing my availability for each day, so when you put those in they may not match my actual availability. I will NOT honor those times since I have no control over them. Please make sure we finalize drop off times BEFORE booking a stay with me. I'm happy to work with you while I can for drop-offs and pickups, but there might be times when my schedule is not going to allow me to be as flexible. Right now I'm not currently accepting pick ups or drop offs on Thursday evenings after 5 pm or Sunday mornings. My husband and I are both active with our church and those times are dedicated to that. I'm also closed for drop offs and pick ups on Saturdays all day. While I have guests in my care during that time, it's my one day "off" each week to not be tethered to my house. I do have two children, an ten-year-old and a seven-year-old. Both are used to being around dogs, but for the safety of all involved, I require a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along. Please see additional information about meet and greets below. When we leave the house, I will never leave your pets mixed with other pets. I'm happy to crate your dog if that's what they are used to or they will be given their own room while we're away. I will never leave your dog mixed unsupervised with my dog or other dogs I'm watching. Everyone's safety is my first priority. I can provide my cell so you can get in contact with me at any time. I also provide pictures/videos via text. I'm working on doing better to show them on Rover. One of the things I will tell you from the get go is my house gets a little crazy sometimes. I do my best to provide updates once a day while you're away. I also tell my clients to message me if they haven't heard from me and would like an update. I do my best to be responsive in a timely manner. However, I also expect my clients to understand that I do have a life outside of pet sitting and sometimes that life gets in the way of my being able to respond right away. Please show a little grace when asking for updates on your pet. We love them like our own so they just join in our family life which doesn't always include having my phone glued to my side. I'm a homemaker and homeschool mom. I am around a lot of the time and there is plenty of outside time for my guests. The reason my schedule may look blocked off is because of the time required for my guests, my kiddos, and my job. My husband also works from home full time now. He does assist with the pups sometimes but I do not rely on him for meet and greets, drop offs or pick ups. Crates are not required, but if your dog is used to being crated I can provide for that. I will also crate a dog if they are found to be destructive or are untrustworthy when we are out of the house. I also will not keep dogs that are food aggressive. I separate everyone to feed them because I understand the nature of most dogs is to be protective of food. However, if a dog shows aggression towards another dog when food is present or while we're in the kitchen around people food, that is not something I am comfortable with for safety reasons. We homeschool and I work from home so we're home a lot of the time. With that said, we do have lives and go places. I try to be as accommodating as possible, but please keep this in mind. Your pup will be integrated into our household with my own. We're in and out a lot so potty breaks and playtime naturally happen throughout the day. I provide overnight services out of my home as well as doggy day care. We have a fully fenced yard with an automatic locking gate to keep people from opening it when they come for pickup. When you come to my house, you'll park in my driveway and then enter through a double set of people gates to your left.

“First time using a rover for my boys and very pleased! One of my pups had a stomach issue while I was gone and Erynne went the extra mile to clean it up for me! Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs since childhood and have taken care of neighborhood pets since middle school. I can perform check-ins, take them on walks, administer medications, and monitor health issues. I am comfortable with pets of all ages and especially love seniors. I am a full time student and a part time vet assistant, but I always make time for your pets. I am available for check-ins throughout the week and overnights on the weekends I always triple check the house before leaving, monitor food and water intake, and ensure overall health. I love keeping pet parents updated, especially photos of their pets having fun.

About: Under 25 pounds, crate trained only. I have a special place in my heart for geriatric dogs! Would you like your pet loved and cared for in your own home? Do you have multiple pets that do not travel well? I come to them to provide the excellent care I would expect to be given my own! Lots of love and affection 🥰😍 Lots of love, lap time, off-key singing and sweet words for fur babies. (Don't we all need that?) I’ve loved taking care of dogs and cats (and other critters upon request) for friends and neighbors for many years. Services of walking, drop ins, pet taxi, doggy day care and boarding. Enhanced background check, CPR and Rover 101 class. Senior dogs welcome and respected. I have oral, inhaler and insulin shot med experience. Adept at complicated meds, supplements, and feeding schedules. I supervise yard and play time. I gladly provide pictures and notes as often as you would like! Crate time only if needed when I'm working part time, if it is their "safe space/den", or if your pooch will eat my furniture or chew wires. Part time work close by and full time dog sitting, walking, taxi and drop in visits! Care of your pet whether at your home or mine is my pleasure. I follow your pet’s routine as directed. My first concern is for the safely and well being of your pet. Whether it's walking or just a potty break I am probably overprotective.

About: I am a dependable and caring dog lover. I have experience providing care for pets. I am patient and enjoy spending time with animals.

I am available on weekdays for dog walking or drop-ins between the hours between 10 AM and 5 PM. I am available on Saturdays frequently. I look forward to loving on your fur baby. I provide safe and reliable dog walking and drop-in services. Your pets' safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide reliable and trusted care you can count on. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels.

“Angela did a great job on multiple visits with my 2 dogs, both large breed, one pup and one adult. She is clearly a skilled and confident walker and caretaker. She was responsive and thorough with communications and completely reliable. I hope to use her again in the future.”

“Thanks Thomas for showing up everyday and taking care of my pup!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child, and as an adult, I have had the privilege of raising three from pups to seniors. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and feed your pup when you are not available. I can do drop-in visits and can also provide exercise and stimulation at any time of the day. I will seek guidance from the dog parent on how best to bond with and build a relationship with their dog. My focus would also be to keep their dog as safe and happy as possible by making sure I understand specific client instructions regarding the dog's care and environment.

About: I have had pets since the day I was born. Even when I went to college, my roommate had 2 cats that I love so much. I have experience with almost all animals you can think of. I have handled timid animals, young animals, senior animals, and animals with behavioral issues. I’m currently working a part time job, mainly during weekdays typically night shifts. I am very up front and honest about availability and will update as soon as anything changes. When taking care of other peoples pets, I always put their pet and their home as first priority. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and does not feel stressed out with a new person being around.

About: I’ve had many cats and dogs while growing up and in adulthood. I always have great respect for animals and only want the best for them. Your pets will always be safe and happy while under my supervision. I have time right now to watch animals really anytime. Feel free to call and text me for more information. I would love to help you with any questions or needs you may have. Pet safety and care is always my first priority. I’m a very caring person and will treat your animal as if it were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs year-round since my teenage years, regularly dog-sitting for friends and family and gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’ve raised and cared for two dogs of my own in both urban and rural settings in East Tennessee, which taught me how to adapt routines, exercise, and enrichment to different environments. As a current dog owner, I understand how important consistency, patience, and genuine affection are when trusting someone with your pet. Dogs have been a constant part of my life, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own-safe, loved, and well-understood. As a part-timer, I wholly devote those weekdays I am not working to providing quality dog care for your pet, whether that be sitting, walking, or supervising. Often times, I am available weekends as well. As a dog owner, I understand the importance of safety and trust when leaving your cherished friend with another. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions closely, and I keep the home clean while I’m there. For dog walking and enrichment, I tailor each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs, whether that means a relaxed stroll, structured exercise, or mentally stimulating activities like sniff breaks and basic reinforcement. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure dogs are properly leashed, hydrated, and supervised at all times. I communicate consistently with pet parents through updates and photos so they feel confident their dog is receiving attentive, reliable care.

“Amithyst has been amazing! She is easy to work with, has amazing communication, and so good with the animals! She truly cares. Highly recommend anytime you have a pet need.”

“Jack has a kind, commanding presence with our 5-yr old large labradoodle Keanu. They both connected immediately upon their first meeting. Keanu looks forward to seeing Jack every day but we have Jack walking him only three times a week as I recover from surgery. Jack did a good deed today after the one-hour morning walk. Another neighborhood dog was lost and followed them to our house. She needed help and trusted Jack to walk her back home across a busy main road from my subdivision. After Jack checked her dog tags, I immediately recognized who she was. The lost pup let me leash her up with one of our spare leashes, and off they went back to her house. Happy ending.”
