About: I've been in love with animals since I was young, and I have worked with dogs with special needs such as previously abused dogs and reactive dogs. I'm still in school and work a part time job, so breaks during the day are a bit harder for me some days, but on others I'm mostly free! I will happily follow any routine you have set in place so long as I am shown prior to petsitting! When watching pets in home I try to be gone for as little time as possible so that they have company and don't get too lonely while you're gone!
“McKenzie is amazing! She takes Emmy on walks during the days I can’t come home during my lunch break, and every day when I get home Emmy is happier than ever! McKenzie is always on time, trustworthy and kind. I can’t recommend her more!”
“I had such a good experience between responsiveness and check ins. Atticus loved the walks and Savannah and Gregory. I lost faith in rover after one bad dog sitter but they restored that trust and I will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Natasha has done WONDERFUL with my pup! She’s one of the few we’ve met that Bleu trusted right away and didn’t bark upon meeting her with me! She has been on time and Bleu seems to really be happy when I get home - so I know she’s doing great with her!”
About: Unclassified "animal whisper" I live for animals and children! They speak a different, much more pure language! They know real love and loyalty and are worth every second you can provide! Many years of experience, and looking forward to many more! Drop ins and walks are my favorite 😊 All animals of all shapes and sizes make me my best self! And I will die in the line of doggy duty!! You won't regret letting me spend time with your fur baby 😻 I work from home currently so I am always home through the week or at least close by so I can accommodate most needs. :) We have no fence unfortunately but we have plenty of leashes! As far as for someone elses home we take the direction of the owners note and recognize it is the pets home and routine so all of that is respected!
About: I have a husky/ retriever mix named Ice. She’ is 3 years old. I also have a cat named Heidi that is 5 years old. If you’d like I can take your dog on walks, to the dog park, and on bike rides seasonally. The jetski rides are just for Ice though 😜 My hope is to eventually fill my schedule completely with pet care for when I don’t have clients scheduled for personal training at a gym. Due to living in a small apartment and having both a dog and cat I won’t be doing pet sitting out of my own home. But I’d be happy to watch pets at client’s home or at the dog park if the client prefers.

“We were in town over Easter weekend for an event. Needed care for our PWD. Hannah was super responsive and made us feel very comfortable from the start. She was very thorough and gave our dog multiple walks and spent time with her giving belly rubs. While we didn’t get to meet her in person, our pup seemed very happy. If we are in the area again we would definitely reach out to Hannah!”

About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 490 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 Unicoi. 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 Unicoi 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.

- 96% 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.
