About: I have been taking care of pets for friends and family members for about seven years, including drop in visits, walks, and overnight or weeklong stays! I enjoy taking the time to play with dogs outside and returning to see my favorite dogs on a regular basis! I currently work part time therefore I have very flexible hours and wide availability. I am unable to board dogs at my own home, but I am happy to meet pets at their home! Friends and family members normally ask me to walk, feed, and play with dogs, however I am also very willing to help train puppies or help dogs with specific needs.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or loving care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and any special needs. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for you and your dog. I'm recently retired and love to stay active. My family and I recently lost our dog after 12 years and are looking to fill the void she left. I will treat your dog like my own and will prioritize their safety and happiness. We have a very large fenced in yard for your furry friend to play in. I am new to in-home pet care but have had pets my entire life. I am very reliable and a strong believer in communication and timeliness. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet! I am recently retired and am looking to fill a void in my life since the passing of my dog Pepper. I look forward to getting to know you and your dog(s) and will give them the same love and care that I've given to all of my past pets. I have a large fenced yard as well as well as a handful of hiking trails near my home. I look forward to making your dog feel comfortable with me and my family.

About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits…I love animals of all kinds. My mom became paralyzed and I walked and took care of her 2 senior dogs for about 8 years until they passed. I gave them oral medication, cooked their food, walked and groomed them. Then she adopted a puppy and I took care of him as well as trained him. I currently have 2 french bulldogs of my own. One is a hyper little puppy and the other is a calmer 5 year old. I love caring for pets whether they are my own or someone else’s. I currently work part time in home care until 2pm 4 days a week. I am available most afternoons. My schedule changes if a client is in the hospital and does not need care those days which gives me the flexibility to pick up more last minute walks or check ins. I have children so I cannot work all weekend but i can be flexible and am open to them. I am open to walking your dogs in your neighborhood or wherever you prefer. I am also open to check ins and feeding dogs or cats. I will do my best to keep your routine with them if that is what you prefer. I would like to know a little bit about them beforehand and any preferences or habits they have.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I’m the proud owner of a golden. We walk 3-4 miles a day in the woods behind my house. My cousin has my dogs sister and we have weekly play dates to keep them together! My sister also has an American bully and I love breed! He often comes over for sleep overs and he is my best running buddy! Pet care is extremely important to me! I start my day with play time and long walks! I also think it is very important to keep my dog socialized I put her in daycare once a week to keep her comfortable with all dogs. My day always end with play time typically fetch outside and snuggles on the couch! My dog Rollie is my best friend. I work from home 2 days a week and either my husband or I are home early the other days. This allows for a lot of working from the deck sitting in the sun! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I would love to set up a meet and greet so we can all get to know each other. Looking forward to adding a friend for Rollie on our nature walks!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I adore dogs, and will always treat your baby with love and care. My current dog, Ella, is 12 years old, and we’ve had her since she was only a few months old! I have experience with dogs at every life stage I work part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your baby! I am available most weekdays and weekends, any time of the day! My household is very laid back on rules; she’s allowed on furniture, in the bed at night, the food bowl is set out for her to eat from when she wants, etc. However, I will adjust to whatever rules you have for your own pup! No matter what, I treat all dogs with love and understanding, whether your dog is shy and anxious or outgoing and social!

“Lesley is amazing! We contacted her on short notice when my fiance was suddenly returning back to work. We loved that she had the experience to provide training walks for our little guy who is still learning his leash manners. She was flexible with our schedules, and keeps in contact with updates/videos throughout. She has provided us great advice on how to be better dog parents while on our walks. In just a few visits our baby is already behaving so much better on his walks! Do yourself a favor and hire Lesley!”

About: I meditate regularly so I have a calm, grounded presence, especially around animals. I grew up around cat and dogs my whole life so I know them well and how to care for them. Also I all kinds of animals including octopus, fish, snakes, scorpions, frogs, spiders, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. Happy to care for any and all pets in your family. I run my own design/tech/apparel company (goodfornothing.lol) so I can work from anywhere on my laptop and my schedule is my own. Taking care of animals is a joy for me and gets me out of the house and out for walks =) I can be available for weekdays or most weekends with enough prior notice. I especially enjoy dropping in on pets during the day when their people are at work and give them some time/food/walks/playtime/attention. I can't offer pet boarding in my home currently, but I'm happy to house and pet sit for you while your family is away. I prefer sleeping in my own travel camper that I can park easily by your home when I come to visit. Happy to arrange anything from as short as a weekend to a few weeks if you'll be away for a while.

About: I am excited to dog-walk and cat sit. I am available to watch single or multiple pets for your family, and I have a flexible schedule on weekends and holidays. I have had cats for many years, I have actually used rover when I went away and I know what an important decision it is to hire the right person to watch your furry loved ones. I have watched my sister’s two puppies and they are included in my photos. I will assist with grooming, feeding and playing as needed. I’m available most weekends and evenings, or early mornings. This is a part-time job for me but I will accommodate as best I can. I’m also open to offering a discount off total booking price if you are going out of town for a long time (like over a week or two). Every clients home is different, so I will try to learn the environment as much as possible. If it's for dog walking, I will learn the neighborhood with the dog.

About: I've had almost every kind of animal you can name! I've taken care of my 2 dogs from puppy to seniors. I also have experience with cats and small animals such as guinea pigs, i currently own 3! I'm currently working 2 part time jobs, so I have plenty of time to check in on your furry friends while you're out and about/ or working! I make sure all animals are not only well fed and healthy, but happy as well. Animals and their care are so important to me because of how I grew up taking care of my own animals.

This was our first time using Talia for our 6 month old fur baby. We were nervous. Talia immediately put us at ease. Incase great to learn that she has experience with puppies and even made a suggestion to us when trying to get her to stop picking up stuff when walking. After seeing the pictures from their first visit, it's obvious that Nova feels the same. Thank you Talia. Looking forward to your next visit.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Franklin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Franklin is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $34 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 10,653 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:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
