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 own two cats and two dogs, and have been taking care of friends and neighbors pets for years. I am well experienced in cleaning/washing dogs, walking them, and playing/loving on fur babies! I just graduated high school, so I have plenty of time to take of your pets. My schedule is flexible and I look forward to loving on your fur-baby. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I’m comfortable following your pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide.
About: Hello! I’m currently a college student with a love for all dogs. I’ve been around dogs for my whole life and continue to be. I especially love taking them for walks and playing with them. If you’re looking for someone to walk or play with your dog, I would love to have the opportunity! I work at an orchard part time and have lots of openings! I’m also free November through January, as it is a seasonal job. In my spare time, I am available anytime to take your furry friend for a walk or stay! I love and care for my dogs by taking them for daily walks, playing with them, grooming them regularly, and ensuring they have regular vet check-ups. I also make sure to spend quality time with them, showering them with affection and attention!
About: I've always had a dog growing up. I love dogs and feel they should be treated as part of the family. I have dealt with senior dogs throughout the years and understand the care needed for them. I work sporadically at a dance studio and go to my college for practices some times, but other than that I'm open for mornings and evenings mostly. I can feed and play with them. I'll take them on a walk and when they need to put them in their crates. I can give medications when they need it.
About: My family has had dogs of all kinds growing up. I used to pet sit before when it worked with my schedule and it is my favorite job. This will be a fantastic job to have while I start my vet schooling to continue my passion, caring and loving for any and all dogs/animals. I’m very flexible and willing to work with your schedule. Shoot me a message and we can talk/get to know each other. Meet and greet are always welcome. I want you and your pet both to be comfortable. I have a completely open schedule and can make most anything work. I also have my own transportation and can do multiple days if needed. I am more than happy to dog sit at your house where your dog feels comfortable. I always want the dog to know they are in a safe environment and keep them happy while mom and/or dad are gone. Dogs always a first priority. Get up in the morning and go potty, then do breakfast (if that’s the routine), go for a walk or play in the yard, and then snuggles if they are up for it. Then follow the rest of their daily routine and I don’t mind sleeping with the animals if that’s what they do. I’m not much on putting dogs in the crate if I am home.
“Riley and Victoria were wonderful! They checked on Lexi exactly when they said they would and sent pictures and notes about their visit. I would definitely use them again.”
“Grayson is amazing! I have two dogs and a cat, and they all love her! My one dog is actually a very shy girl and takes time to warm up to others. Even she LOVED Grayson. I always felt like my animals were in good hands when they were with her :)”
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Franklin is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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.
As of November 2026, there are 807 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 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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
