“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.”

About: I have started taking care of neighbors and family friends pets ever since I was 11 years old. I have experience pet sitting cats and dogs. The clients I would pet sit for have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and provide medicine to their pets. I am currently working from home from 8:30-5:30 on weekdays, but I am usually available in the mornings before 8:30 am and in the evenings after 5:30 pm. My weekends are very flexible. I have a dog, who is very active and friendly! He gets along with other animals and will be able to keep your pet company!

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. 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!

About: I always lived in a house with dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of dogs large and small. I worked as a volunteer with therapy horses in middle school as a sidewalker and groomer. Additionally have taken care of chickens and rats from a young age. I am often times pet sitting a special needs (blind) greyhound. I currently am working a part time jobs where I build my own schedule. I am a dance teacher who leaves early in the morning for morning classes and then am usually free in the afternoons for the rest of the day. I am often able to add extra tasks in my day with this flexibility. I treat other people’s space with respect. Will clean up any mess/debris right away. I will keep your fur baby company and can provide much enrichment and love.

About: Part of my job is to take care and look after my patients, taking care of fur babies it’s a skill I can confidently say im great at. Since I was little I considered myself as an Animal lover, nothing stopped me from getting the experience and joy animals can bring. I've had all type of animals throughout my life - cats, dogs, reptiles, hamsters, fishes, etc. anything you can imagine, so I’m comfortable with taking care of pets. Part of my job is to take care and look after my patients, taking care of fur babies it’s a skill I can confidently say im good at. I’m currently a Full time student with a part time as a dental assistant but even then I have a lot of opportunities and gaps on my schedule to take care of pets. My weekends are completely free as well. I understand the needs of different animals and living conditions, I’m happy to go to a clients house to take care of their pets but if it’s needed I have no problem taking them out for a hike or a play date or just to get a pup cup.

“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”

About: I have a senior dog and cat, and have always had multiple cats and foster dogs in my home. I will walk, play, and snuggle your pets like they are my own! I have been taking care of friends' and neighbors' pets for several years. I also have experience providing medication. I am currently not working as I am home from college for summer break. I have an online class from 12-2 every day, so I will have plenty of free time to take care and play with your pets! I can play with your pets and walk them. I also have experience with giving medication and taking care of older animals. I will snuggle them and give them lots of love while you're gone!

Lucy was great, my dog immediately liked her and was comfortable enough to go on walks with her despite separation anxiety. Lucy is easy to communicate with and a quick responder to messages, I was able to let her know the evening before one of the walks that my dog would need a medication the next day.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Franconia on Rover is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 15,439 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 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 Franconia 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 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 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.
