About: We are a mother, daughter duo! You may meet myself YingYing or Annie, my daughter. However, we provide the same adequate care! Animal sitting has been a big thing of ours since we can remember and now that we have adopted Bingo, it has pushed us to do this full-time. We have had Bingo for about 3 years with no issues and no emergency pet visits. She is healthy and lively albeit a little lazy. You can say she is at the top of our food chain in our household. We live in an area where there are trails right next to our house for walks and the park is a block away. We also have a minivan that can take the doggies to the park if they have mobility issues. We are equipped in handling pushy dogs when they are walking and can control their behaviors. Additionally, we can read some body cues from dogs. Please message or email us before booking so we are aware of your dog’s situation and are able to care for them to the full extent. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids aged 10 and 14 so I can accept bookings whenever is necessary. I intend to pet sit as a full time job with opening on the weekends as well. Bingo is quite calm and careless. She is trained to go into a bedroom on command and we have multiple helping hands to situate her and your own fur baby.

Jessica is a terrific dogwalker! She was on time every day and our 2 dogs just jumped in her car and loved their walks, especially since I had pulled a hamstring and couldn't take them on walks myself! We will definitely ask for Jessica again if we need dog walking in the future. Thank you, Rover, for having such an excellent, nice, friendly, and conscientious person on your site!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and I don’t just “watch” pets—I build a relationship with them. My own dog, Gadget, is almost 12 years old, and I’ve been his lifelong best friend, snuggle buddy, walker, and groomer. Whether it’s trail hikes, neighborhood strolls, or indoor games like hide-and-seek, I tailor care to what each dog enjoys most. What makes me different is my calm, caring approach. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to respond to a pet’s needs, not just follow a routine. I believe clear communication, trust, and creating a safe environment are essential to happy pets. From house training to meal routines to peaceful walks, I care for every dog like they’re part of my family—because to me, they are. As a stay-at-home dad, my schedule is flexible day or night and pet care is a natural part of our daily rhythm. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends to care for your pup with the same attention and love I give my own buddy, Gadget. My two daughters are also part of our pet-loving household—they enjoy going on walks and sharing snuggles with our furry visitors. Whether it’s a calm companion or a playful pup, your dog will be part of a warm, active, and caring environment throughout the day. I’d like to be mindful of creating a safe, trusting, and interactive environment for your pup in your home. I’d like to think I have a great attention to detail and like to keep things organized and clean just the way you need it.

About: I currently have two dogs at home that have been raised since they were puppies. I provide consistent routines for our dogs and am confident in my ability to provide stability for your dogs while you are away from home. My home has a fenced off area indoors and outdoors to give your dogs plenty of space to roam around and not have to be fully cooped up all day. I will help your dogs have a home away from home. I currently have a full time job, but my job also allows for work from home so my schedule is based on my ability to be home during your pet’s stay. Even if I need to be in office, I can come home during my lunch break for 30 minutes to tend to the dogs. On weekends I will be home and only go out for a few hours at a time for groceries. I am very familiar with crate training and other simple tricks for dogs. I always feed all dogs separately to ensure no food guarding occurs and we monitor the dogs throughout meal time. I am comfortable with feeding basic medications if needed.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am experienced with puppies, senior pets, medications, basic first aid, and I pride myself on being dependable, loving, patient, and attentive. My home offers a fully fenced yard, locked gate, covered patio, and dog door access for a safe and comfortable stay. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight care, they’ll be loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I walk every morning. I work from home during the week, taking breaks throughout the day. Thankfully my schedule is flexible and many times I like to add in an evening walk as well, weather permitting. Whether in my home or yours, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment while carefully following routines, special instructions, and care needs. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and secure, and for every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is in trusted hands.

About: I had a beagle from age 6 to 22. From 22 to 36 I had a Maine Coon. I currently have 2 cute ginger cats and a fat grey and white cat. Everyone was a rescue! I own a small business and work from home. I can get to your home in the Elk Grove area very easily and quickly to visit with your critters. We prepare fresh meals for our cats. We haver cat backpacks and crates to transport them around. They like to visit outside and pretend they are still wild. One likes to explore. The other two are afraid of their shadows.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs since age 15, I bring calm, reliable, and high-attention care to every pet I work with. I’ve volunteered with the Humane Society and a local Bay Area puppy rescue, and I’m especially confident supporting puppies, senior pets, and animals who require extra medical attention. I’ve raised two dogs of my own—Player (a full-sized Collie) and Kona (a toy Maltipoo)—and have provided ongoing care for an Australian Shepherd (from 8 weeks old through adulthood), a senior German Shepherd, and a Bengal cat. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home while keeping routines and care instructions consistent, while letting you feel reassured your pet is in good hands while you are away with as many updates as you’d like! I have open availability so I am able to drop by for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays as you need. I find that keeping the dog in their own environment is the least stressful to them. I am able to accommodate whatever you and your fur baby needs! I do have a fenced in yard with no current animals in the house, however I find it best for me to stay in the dogs normal environment vs bringing them into a new one. I am open to discussing if you prefer I keep them at my place, but heavily prefer staying at your home with them.

About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I’m Irene a Vet-Tech of 11 years turned into SAHM. We live with our two sweet cats and a 1.5yr old toddler so we’re used to having a full (and slightly chaotic) house. My husband also WFH so your pet will rarely be alone! My experience in the vet field has really shaped the way I care for animals: gently, patiently, and always with their comfort and safety in mind. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from shy and anxious to energetic and goofy. I can also handle pretty much any medical needs your pet might have such as medications, injections, SQ fluids, nail trims, ear cleanings, eye/ear meds, even bandage changes. I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies, especially if they need extra care, and I want you to feel completely at ease. I send detailed updates throughout the day, along with so many photos and videos you may run out of storage. There will be no surprises about how your fur babies are doing :) If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring, this EG vet tech auntie would love to help you. Feel free to reach out anytime. Please message me about scheduling and how flexible the timing is! I am available most mornings and evenings and we can find something that works for all of us. I follow instructions to the dot. I am very detail oriented and insightful. I am constantly on look out to make sure your pets are safe and happy. I am an open book & love to give advice to pet owners because at the end of the day, a happy healthy pet is a happy life.

About: Hi there, welcome to my Profile! :) Ever since I was a child, I've been extremely passionate about pets. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, and even goats. I even helped my cat birth a litter of kittens right in my very own bedroom when I was in fourth grade. I have experience with senior-pets, administering medication, bottle-feeding, and even crate-training. Animals aren't able to verbally express their needs like us, so experience is necessary in order to figure out what each one needs to live a happy life. I've translated this experience into my job working with special needs children and adults. I'm extremely patient, caring, and passionate about making a positive impact on the world. I hope you entrust me with the care of your pet! I'm currently working part-time at a second job and have a great amount of free time! I'm available seven days a week, times will change weekly. I'm extremely flexible and able to work with different schedules! I have a fenced yard including a fence surrounding my in-ground pool. Pictures can be provided if necessary! I have a medium-sized backyard including a grass area for potty breaks.

About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was 10 years old. Growing up, I often brought home stray dogs and cats that needed love, care, and a safe place to stay. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets while they were out of town or busy with work. I always made sure their pets stayed on their normal feeding, potty, and exercise routines, and I treated every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to provide updates while you’re away. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow their daily routine, provide plenty of playtime, exercise, love, and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or instructions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate them. In addition to caring for your pets, I’ll also help keep your home tidy and in order so you can return to a clean, stress-free environment. It would be my pleasure to care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing they’re in loving and capable hands.

About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life, starting with my childhood dog, Rocky, a King Charles Spaniel, whom I helped raise and take full responsibility for until we had to unfortunately put him down due to old age. This included daily feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and attending to his overall well-being. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. My first year of college, my aunt would drop off her toy poodle named Milo. Whenever her and her family would travel, I would take full responsibility for Milo, whether it be a weekend or a week. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic play or relaxed companionship, I’m happy to make sure your dog is well cared for. I’m currently working 2 part-time jobs as well as being a part-time student. I am able to work my schedule around your desired hours a week in advance! I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, and rest. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Franklin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Franklin on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,145 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Franklin. 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 Franklin. 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 Franklin.

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 Franklin. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
