Janna was great with Leslie! She was prompt and took Leslie on some fun adventures in the neighborhood, and even included a bit of time to play with Leslie after her walks. Her reports were very thorough and we got great photos and videos each day. We'll definitely be reaching out again when we need a dog walker!

I don't even know where to begin, but Jackie has been such an absolute BLESSING during a very tumultuous time where I have not been able to walk my dog, Sadie, due to having leg surgery and needing someone short notice. Never would I have thought that I would find my dog's godmother, but HERE WE ARE! Jackie is incredible with Sadie and Sadie is IN LOVE with Jackie. I used to work in vets myself and can feel Jackie's empathetic and beautiful nature when it comes to pets, and even my little demon hobbit cat loves her too and he is hard to please. Jackie is also aware of any inconsistencies with Sadie's behavior, potty breaks and has even checked for ticks as the spring gets nuts with those terrible creatures. We are going to be so sad that she won't be coming 3 times a day anymore, but Jackie has become an actual friend and Sadie and I plan to have visits. There is no way Sadie cannot be in Jackie's life and Jackie has expressed the same. We seriously love her so much and will still book with her when needed in the future. You could not be in better hands than with Jackie and I have trust issues lol. She is the VERY BEST <3

Sweta is outstanding! Communication is key especially when away and needing to trust your walker not only with your pet but your home as well. She was prompt for the times scheduled, respectful of my space and my pet and neighborhood. Professional and kind hearted. I felt that my dog was in good hands with Sweta and will be a repeat customer in the future.

Kelli has been a wonderful addition to our days. She is incredibly responsive, attentive and caring for the dogs, and the dogs are completely exhausted after, as I want, when they return. She has always given a great report card and some adorable photos. I hope to have her walking my girls for a long time.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! I have personal experience owning both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided in-home pet care for both drop-ins and overnight stays. I have a car, so I’m happy to take a trip to the dog park or explore new areas for a walk! Whether it’s checking in, going for walks, or just giving some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Animals bring me so much joy, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have flexibility to go for short walks during the day. I can also stay overnight during weekdays and potentially weekends as I can work from anywhere. In the morning and evenings I can take longer walks. I am committed to making sure you are stress-free when it comes to pet care, so I will update you with photos, videos, and messages every time I take care of your furry friend! I’m happy to send as many updates as will make you comfortable!

Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for years! I have taken care of multi-pet homes with both dogs and cats of different sizes and species. I am currently home for the Summer from college so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends! I would love to make your pets a part of my routine :) I make sure every pet is cared for in the ways that they need. If they need extra attention, longer walks, or additional food/medication, I am happy to provide it! For quieter animals who just need a quick trip outside and then some alone time, I will be there for them as well.

Heather has walked our dog Arlo about a dozen times in all kinds of weather. She is terrific! She is so kind to Arlo and so very careful about cleanliness. Arlo loves her and is always very excited to see her. She has also given us some good tips about how to get Arlo to better behaved. We are so glad to have found Heather. What a sweet and thoughtful person!

Janna was AMAZING with Buddy. We were in a real pinch and needed a dog walker on super short notice. She jumped in, was able to do a meet-and-greet same day, and I felt so relieved to be able to leave my pupper with someone I could trust. I will definitely be reaching out to Janna any time I need a dog walker. She was awesome!

I love Veronica!!!! I have an upcoming extended trip at the end of the month. I have talked with Veronica about the trip and shared that I always feel very anxious whenever I have to leave Crosby for an extended period time. Veronica has been SO calm, patient, understanding and flexible. She has done everything possible to put my mind and my nerves at ease. Today, Veronica went above and beyond on her visit and walk with Crosby. I’m so relieved and grateful to have connected with Veronica !! She’s AMAZING!!!! ❤️❤️ Thank you, Veronica!!!

Max was great. Went above and beyond both days we used his services. Day One went a little awry with one of our dogs getting injured (through no fault of Max's!) And he communicated immediately and even waited with our dogs until we were able to make it home even though he didn't have to. Would highly recommend Max and would use him again in the future.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Franconia on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 15,632 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Franconia. 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 Franconia. 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 Franconia.

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 Franconia. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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 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.
