About: I have dog sat for several families for about a year now and it is my favorite thing to do. Dogs truly are a man’s best friend and all pets for that matter.

I have also watched turtles, cats, and fish. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am currently in nursing school so dog sitting between and after classes is perfect for me!

About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

I am also willing to work with your schedule and needs and will provide your dog with care throughout my duration of caring for them whether it's just a long walk that day or watching them at their home.

“Daniel did such a good job taking care of our 2 beagle mix babies. Both dogs took right to him, and dogs are the best judge of character. Daniel truly went above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies while we were away. We will be using Daniel for our future dog walking when my husband and I go out of town. We thank you so much Daniel.”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 16 years, passionate about animals since a kid. Skilled in all areas including medicating, health care, special dietary needs ect. I work from home, and would love to spend time with your fur baby. We can go on nice long walks early in the morning time and throughout the day. Contact me with any questions about specific needs. In my home animal boarding is best for me but I can be flexible. Send me a message and we can come up with a plan together!

Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Franklin is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $2 and $22 per walk. On Rover, 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.

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 Franklin. 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 Franklin 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 Franklin. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
