“Brita and Joe took wonderful care of our three pups while we hiked up Alum Cave and spent the night at LeConte. Brita was responsive, very communicative, and put any concerns I had at ease. I was sent a message and picture each time they arrived for a visit. I will enlist their service again and highly recommend them!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life! I've handled healthy pets, sick pets, old pets, young pets, all the pets. Go-to house and pet sitter for friends and family, I've also sat for horses, chickens, and goats. I just love animals, and I'd love to love on your animals! I have a very flexible schedule that allows do what I want when I want! I do travel full-time, usually only in an area for 3 weeks at most, so I won't be a long term provider. I am happy to fulfill any reasonable request. I can handle crating, walking, feeding, cleanup, and play. I also have two healthy, very friendly dogs that would be happy to join on walks or play dates with the other owners' permission. I am extremely cautious with the safety of my dogs and will be with your pets, too.
About: Hi! We’re Zach and Kennedy, a husband-and-wife team who love welcoming dogs into our home. We care for our Rover guests together, so you may communicate and interact with either of us throughout your pup’s stay! We’re conveniently located about 2 miles from Dollywood and 5 miles from Gatlinburg, making us an easy option for both locals and visitors who want their pup nearby while they spend the day exploring the Smokies. We both work from home, which means we’re around throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and company. We share our home with our two young children and our own dog, so we’re especially happy to welcome pups who are comfortable in a family environment. We know how important it is to feel comfortable with the people caring for your dog. Our goal is to provide a safe, attentive, and loving home away from home. Whether your pup is joining us for daycare or an overnight stay, we tailor their care to their individual needs and routine, with plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and opportunities to relax. With two of us home and involved in caring for our guests, your pup gets lots of company throughout their stay. We want them to feel like part of the family while they’re here, and we want you to enjoy your time away knowing that they’re in good hands. Since we both work from home, at least one of us is typically home during the day. This gives us plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, meals, playtime, attention, and keeping up with your dog’s normal routine. Because we care for our Rover guests together, your pup will have two people looking out for them throughout their stay! We want every dog in our care to feel safe and comfortable in our home. We have two young children and a dog of our own, so the safety of everyone in our home, including your pup, is our priority. We follow each owner’s care instructions closely and are happy to accommodate your dog’s normal feeding, potty, sleeping, and crate routines. We also believe good communication is important and ask that owners be upfront about their dog’s temperament, behavior, and needs so we can provide the best and safest care possible.
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!

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: Growing up, we had all kinds of animals. I had indoor pups, outdoor pups, and cats! I adore animals so much and want to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and loved on! I’m in college, so I have plenty of free time! I can do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and evenings. As well, I can do anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Scheduling will just depend on appointments, homework, and whatever else I may have going on that day. I can easily meet your needs! I’ve cared bigger for pets and smaller, and have had no issues. I don’t get easily startled by pets, so I find it easy playing, attaching leashes and collars, and feeding them! As well keep and extra eye on my senior cat to make sure everything is going smoothly for him, so I will always do the same for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 990 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 Townsend. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Townsend after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
