About: Hi! I’m Taylor - your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I absolutely love all animals (big, small, furry, feathery - you name it!). I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for several years now, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do… it’s who I am. I have a background in emergency veterinary medicine, which means I’m calm under pressure and know how to recognize when something isn’t quite right. I currently work in general practice veterinary medicine, so I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, snuggles, medication, or just someone trustworthy to hang out with, I’ve got it covered. Your fur baby will be treated like family because that’s exactly what they are. ❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Contact me for my availability! I always have a rotating schedule, and I am available at many different times. I look forward to messaging with you! I am very cautious and loving when it comes to your animal. I will do whatever is necessary to make sure your animal is in a safe environment :)
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are available to short walks and drop-in around the Johnson City area.

About: I am a single middle age compassionate, loving female who will absolutely show your dog or cat the most love and affection he or she has ever known! I do not have children and I believe our pets are a reflection of our own soul and speak to us through the way they interact with us. If we have had a bad day, they know. If we have had a good day, they know that too! This is my only job so my schedule is pretty open to meeting the needs of you and your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pooch or kitty for lots of love! I am a retired veteran so caring for your fur baby is my #1 priority. Check my schedule on the Rover app. Let me be your preferred sitter! I can accommodate your pet by house sitting in your home. I feel that pets thrive in their own environment and their own routines with the least amount of stress possible.

About: I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra attention. My background in pharmacy has made me comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and recognizing changes in health or behavior. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog needs overnight companionship, medication administration, regular walks, feeding, or extra support due to age or mobility issues, I’m committed to keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a college student taking online summer classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. When I’m not studying, reading, or completing coursework, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and spending time outdoors. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and being around them. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and give them the companionship and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing attentive care for the pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Unicoi
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Unicoi. 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 Unicoi. 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 Unicoi.
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 Unicoi. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
