About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life and bring a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments to every pet I care for. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of energy levels, personalities, and behavioral needs including behaviors such as resource guarding. Whether your dog thrives on structure, needs extra patience, or has a more outgoing and playful nature, I take the time to get to know them individually so I can engage with them in the way that suits them best. I understand that every dog and household has its own routines and expectations, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions or precautions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and also very outgoing, which helps me build trust with dogs while keeping them happy and engaged. I’m also able to administer oral medications if needed and am attentive to any health or behavioral cues. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m new to the area and currently planning my wedding, which gives me a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Because I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and for overnight stays—making it easy for me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of distinct temperaments and understand how important it is to recognize and respect each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m very mindful of the routines, boundaries, and safety measures that help pets feel secure, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own, and I approach each pet as if they were my own as well. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the natural flow of your home and your pet’s routine—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you feel comfortable as well.
“Courtney has been absolutely amazing with our dog Bia. She has accommodated last minute requests. Her communication is excellent during scheduling requests and walks. Most importantly Bia loves her! Highly recommend.”
About: I've lived with dogs and cats, big and small, since I was five years old. I have a passion for animals of all sorts and I previously worked as a kennel tech for a veterinary office and worked as a dog groomer for several years before my son was born. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my children. I especially love dogs and cats of all sizes and I love being able to work from home taking care of them and helping pet parents know their pets are safe and loved when they’re with me. I'm open to caring for animals of other species as well! I’m experienced in taking care of many different types of animals with different levels of care, such as senior pets, medically needy pets, puppies and kittens, aggressive/reactive pets, as well as exotics. I took a 4 year long veterinary assisting course and I received my CVA (certified veterinary assistant) license in July 2016! I’m a stay at home mom to my children, so I work from home and have pretty open availability to help whenever I’m needed, including weekdays! When caring for someone else’s pets, my main goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and loved. I strive to follow the directions given and keep your pet in a routine they are familiar with, so please don’t hesitate to ask for special requests! For grooming: I have been a professional groomer for several years, plus animal experience as noted above! Please let me know what haircut you would like, your pets’ temperament with grooming, any special requests or concerns you may have during the groom, I am happy to accommodate. I am familiar with most breed specific haircuts and I’m well versed in many different breeds, so please feel free to let me know exactly what your desired haircut looks like! I have open availability as I am a stay at home mom! I’m usually available most days of the week, but may need a couple days to plan, so please shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to get something scheduled! I care for pets as the owners intend me to. I strive to provide a safe and loving environment whether your pet is in my home or yours. When your pet is in my care, rest assured that I am doing everything in my power to keep them happy and healthy :) My schedule can be quite flexible, so please reach out to me to see if we can make something work! I have pretty open availability most days. My goal is to take care of your pet in the same manner that you typically would, so that you can leave them in my care knowing they are loved, safe and cared for as you intend.
About: Former doggy daycare employee, multi-year animal shelter volunteer, and pet sitter extraordinaire for friends and family. I am currently doing Rover full-time, so have a really flexible schedule. I love all animals big and small, but especially enjoy caring for dogs and cats. Not discriminatory toward any breed of dog. I am huge on sending photos and updates while caring for your pets! I have extremely flexible availability currently and do my best to review and update my calendar every day to ensure it is up to date. I am happy to stay overnight in your home if preferred, and/or do late night and early morning check-ins! I am reliable and understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to care for your animals. I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your pets and home as if I am caring for my own.
“Taylor has done an excellent job walking my babies everyday. They love her. She has done some extra things for me since I am recovering from hip replacement surgery. I can’t praise her enough. I highly recommend her. She is very reliable & caring for my pets.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I make sure each pup gets the right mix of exercise, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to their specific feeding and care routines, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I am at home full time and manage my business from home. I am available 24/7, 7 days a week for all your needs of care for your pet! I have a large secure privacy fenced in backyard for lots of free run and potty breaks. Your pet will be able to roam free or be crated if that is your typical routine! They are able to go out to potty every 30mins- an hour and playtime is all day! Feeding schedule varies on the pet and the preferences of the owner. We provide lots of fresh treats always! Please let us know of any allergies or things you would rather your pet not consume (treat wise).
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.
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”
“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”
“I was anxious about finding someone that would be willing to walk my wild fur baby. But Destinee has been so patient and does such a great job with Tucker. I know he loves her weekly visits and walks. Very grateful to find someone who I can trust to take care of Tucker.”
“Mari was great with our pet, Mali G. He is quick to respond and Mali G really enjoyed their walks this week. We received the report cards and it was easy to communicate via the Rover app. We look forward to having our pet in good hands with Mari the next time, he is great with pets!”

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.

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
- 98% 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.
