Pet Sitting & Walking

Very. The city has multiple dog parks, miles of walking trails, and a lot of dog-friendly patios and businesses. Coolidge Park on the North Shore is popular with dog walkers. Renaissance Park has an off-leash area. Most of the hiking trails welcome leashed dogs. The outdoor culture here means you'll see dogs everywhere.

There are veterinary clinics across every part of the metro. For emergencies, the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Center and BluePearl Pet Hospital handle after-hours and critical care. Our directory has ratings for regular vet clinics. Most Chattanooga vets accept walk-ins for urgent issues.

Options range from facility-based boarding (with play groups and webcams) to in-home sitters through Rover. Prices run $25-50/night for boarding, $20-35/day for daycare. Book ahead for holidays - the good spots fill up fast, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
