About: Hi! My name is Carley, and I adore animals. I grew up on a farm with horses and cows, and I have been working in veterinary medicine since 2022 as a veterinary technician. I am experienced with small, large, and exotic pets! I also have experience with pet’s medical care, administering injections, and working with anxious ones! I strive to fit your pet’s schedule into my schedule! I work as a veterinary technician, and I can help steer you in the right direction if there were ever any worries! I also enjoy going on hikes and would love to take your pet on walks! I have a fenced in back yard with two friendly lab mixes and two friendly cats. I am flexible with all client’s needs! My personal pets are taken out multiple times a day, never going over 8 hours without care, and they also receive daily medications.
About: I have over 30 years of pet care experience, taking care of puppies and kittens through senior dogs and cats. I don’t have children and consider my pets my children! You will have no worries while you are away from them. I have been there and understand what it’s like to be away from my pets and worrying that the people that I asked to look after my pets won’t get there on time to let them out or will forget and not feed them or give them water or scoop their litter box. If you hire me you will not have that problem. You can relax on your vacation or on your business trip knowing that your fur babies are taken care of. I currently work as a merchandiser and have a flexible schedule and can arrange my schedule to include pet visits at any time of the day. I do not currently have a fenced in yard but plan on getting one so if you want me to keep them in my home, I will leash them and walk them.
About: I have 4+ years of experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m an animal lover who just wants to be surrounded by them as much as possible. I can train as I’ve had 3 dogs myself in which I’ve pretty much trained all 3. I am doing online school right now and have a bunch of free time to take care of the pets in need, but would prefer weekdays. I have a fenced yard with PLENTY of room. Very spacious living space where they can roam if wanted and just to have in general.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families animals throughout my life and can never get enough of doggy kisses!

I am in college part time, and am available to your pets all day Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, while Mondays and Wednesdays are before 9 and after 2. I have a fenced yard and understand keeping a proper schedule to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. I will always take special care of your animals in your home as well with toy pick up, wiping up messes, and scheduled outside play time that leaves them tired.
About: Experienced Pet Caregiver with Hands-On Puppy Raising Experience, Reliable Feeding and Walking Schedules, and a Strong Commitment to Loving, Attentive Pet Care. Dogs have been apart of my daily routine my entire life so any aspect of taking care of them has been experienced by me! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and experience caring for animals every day. I recently graduated from undergrad and am free all summer before starting graduate school, so I have plenty of time to give pets consistent attention and care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets in clients’ homes while following their routines closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I also have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understanding their needs.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on for boarding on weekend, and weekdays after 9am to 7pm for starters and see how it goes… I'd love to help with pet-sitting! But I have three dogs of my own, so I'm unable to stay overnight. However, I'd be happy to do drop-in visits to check on your dogs anytime. I'm available for afternoon visits, or whatever works best for you. Let me know if you'd like me to come by for a visit!

About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too!

Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.
About: I have owned every type of animal you can think of, from the standard house pets such as cats and dogs to hedgehogs, reptiles, aquatic animals, and farm animals. I have been petting sitting since I was a teenager in high school. I have no breed restrictions. I have also volunteered at an exotic animal rescue taking care of monkeys, kinkajous, wallabies and more! My new job is mostly remote so I will have open days to make sure your pets are cared for and well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs when they are not heel trained. I have no problem crating animals or administering oral or topical medications.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 11. I was told I had to do all the puppy chores if I wanted a puppy so I’ve always walked, bathed, feed, and played with them as much as possible. I love all dogs no matter the shape or size. I also live on a big farm where they would be able to play and run all day long. I currently work a full-time job three days a week. It can depends on my schedule, but I get my schedule months in advance, so I’m available on the days that my calendar says I’m available and I’m normally available every other weekend. I do go to college but I’m online this semester so I’ll be home the days I don’t work. We have all kinds of toys and room for them to play. I live in a neighborhood. I don’t have a fenced in yard but they would be able to run all day as they pleased and run inside as they please and go on fun trips and do all that kind of stuff while they’re with me my parents also have a big farm so there might be days where I decide to go out there and I could take your pups with me and they can run and run and play all day long on the farm.I also never mind to bath them if they get dirty!

I’m able to adjust my availability depending on each pet’s routine, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in my client’s home. I live in a spacious apartment that provides a calm and comfortable environment, with several parks nearby for walks and playtime. There is also a 24-hour veterinary clinic just 8 minutes away, which gives extra peace of mind in case of any emergency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, respect house rules, and make sure they receive attentive, loving, and responsible care at all times.
About: I have had two jobs in different dog daycare/boarding places. I also have a degree in vet assistant. I have volunteered at the local shelter and love it. I am currently working part time and have usually plenty of time in the early morning or late afternoon. My schedule does change weekly so there may be days I’m more flexible than others. I have one sweet little pup who is in training currently. My favorite thing is just being able to cuddle with her and spend time with her.
About: Grew up with a dog all my life always believed they were man’s best friend. I’ve worked in a lot of homes and never had a bad experience with their dogs and I can always find where they love to be scratched I’m currently working full time as a high rise window cleaner in Nashville, but I’m looking for a positive side hustle and dogs love bringing positivity During walks I stay alert and looking for possible dangers i always try to look for big open fields; And during drop ins instructions are king of course respecting the home and safe play of course.
About: I have cared for pets since I was double digits. I have had hamsters, fish, cats, and dogs. Dogs are my favorite, though. It doesn't matter what breed; they are all unique in their own way and beautiful as well. I have personally owned a Rotti (Rocco), Husky mix (Mercedes), English Bulldog (Diesel), Frenchies (Kingston & Khloe), and now a pocket bully (Oakley) and English Bulldog (Lola). Since our kids are grown, these are our fur babies. We always say that this is their home, and they just let us live with them. I am able and comfortable with injuries, wounds, bathing, and cutting nails if needed. We are currently going through the puppy stage with Lola, so we have a lot of patience as well. We would love for you to choose us to stay with because we love meeting new friends, no matter their age or breed. I work from home 3 days a week, so I am here most of the time to care for pets. Dogs are like kids; once you have more of them, they are easier to care for because they move in a pack for the most part. I have two extremely friendly and loving dogs here. We have a fenced-in yard in the back. We live in a quiet subdivision out in the country with sidewalks and other friendly dogs. Our home is dog-proofed in the sense that we have a dog gate, multiple dog beds throughout the house downstairs, and two bins of dog toys. We also keep plenty of treats for training and snacks.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
