Danita was amazing, she help me out at the last moment when my scheduled dog walker did not show up. I would recommend her to take care of your fur baby. She even offered to dog sit so my vacation was not stressful due to the other dog walker being a no show.

About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.

About: From an early age, I have cared for, rescued, and loved animals of all types. Into adulthood, I have been blessed to be trusted to provide care for several fur babies, small to large. Developing and maintaining ongoing friendships with both the pets, and the owners is important to me. Earning trust and getting invited back is what drives me. I will be honored to meet you, and your four-legged family. Thank you for your consideration! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am passionate about the well being of animals and will be available rain or shine. I believe the safety of your four-legged family member is very important. At my home, my cats are never without. Simply walking, feeding, and providing clean water is not what pet-sitting is all about. Our furry friends also need love and companionship. That, I believe, sets me apart.

Natalie has been walking my dog regularly for the past several months and does a great job. My dog loves her, and she always leaves notes and pictures on the Rover card to update me on his walks. I would highly recommend booking Natalie for any Rover service!

About: I've known and loved dogs and cats of all ages, watched over a litter of 6 kittens to adulthood, kept the company of chihuahuas, terriers, labs and pitbulls young and old. I'm up from morning to evening any day of the week, so if your pets need a little help and company, I'm around for you! I can't keep animals at my own house, but when I go out I am very careful to leave no trace behind but a happy critter and clean home.

About: I have taken care of many fur babies since I was 6 years old. Most of the family animals have had health issues that has taught me how to administer medication, give baths, clip nails, and more. Cat and dog friendly! I am available everyday of the week except Sunday 11am-11pm! I can also stay in home over nights upon request. Sundays reserved for sittings only. I currently have two cats who are very shy so I do not offer over night stays in my own home. However, I am more than happy to do over nights in the clients home. I have experience administering medicine by pill & injection. I also have experience in nail clipping & bathing of both dogs and cats. I love all the fur babies out there and am excited for them to love me too!

I am a student at UT Knoxville! Typically I have class from around 8am-4pm Mon/Wed/Fri, and 2-4pm Tuesday/Thursday. My schedule is very flexible, so I can check on or care for pets during that time! I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and various pets for years, and can't wait to care for yours too!

Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!

Sydney did a great job of taking care of my pup, Mickey, while we were on vacation in Sevierville, May 8 -13, 2026. Sydney was good with Mickey and very reliable. She regularly drove Mickey to Patriot Park for walks. She even took care of Mickey on Mother's Day, which allowed my family and me to spend the day worry-free at Anakeesta Adventure Park. I hope Sydney's available again next year!

About: We have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. We do have experience in medication administration for animals. We are excited to serve you and your fur-family! My wife and I work full-time jobs but are available before and after work as well as during the lunch hour to ensure your dogs and/or cats are fed and taken care of! During the summer, Cody is available all day because of being an educator and having a summer break. If boarding with us, we have a fenced-in yard where our three dogs run around and play! If your dog is a digger or runner, we also have a run that your dog can be hooked up to remain in the yard while also providing maximum playtime. For drop-in visits, we will ensure that any happy accidents are cleaned up, your dog remains on the food plan that you have, and will give them time outside to use the bathroom.

About: I have experience with all different types of pets and have paid experience the past six years. I will make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels happy and loved while you’re away. During sits my wife tends to join me. She’s also very experienced with animals and has farm and exotic animal experience. If this is something you are not comfortable with, I am happy to adjust this. I am taking some time to start my own business with my wife. So there’s plenty of time and attention to go around. Most of my work can be scheduled around Rover. If I am housesitting however I may have to leave for a few hours at a time but usually no longer than 3 or 4 so that your pet gets the maximum amount of attention possible. Safety is always a top priority and your pups will always be kept on the same type of schedule they have when they are with you to ensure they aren’t thrown off their routine when you return.

I currently work at UT, so I am available mid day and weekends. I work Monday through Friday 4 pm to 1 am. If I don’t answer right away, it’s probably because I am asleep.

10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.

About: I own 2 super sweet dogs! I have had pets all my life gowing up and i was the one to take care of them. I’ve done many dog sitting jobs as walk ins and as staying over night. I love getting to bring joy to the lonely animals while families are gone! I am able to come at any times around my classes. I have a very light schedule with in person classes. I work one job 2 days a week for very short hours. I am very flexible and able to help with whatever. I always make sure to check the food and water. I like ti let them out but also get them moving when i come to get out some energy! I also will always give good love to the sweet animals:)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Townsend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Townsend. 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 Townsend. 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 Townsend.

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 Townsend. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
