“My pup loved Sarah! She was very accommodating with my changing schedule and very communicative. Made my day receiving the pictures of his walks and just how overjoyed he was. Recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person who genuinely cares about your pet. 10/10!”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and currently have one border collie at home. I’m used to 1+ hour walks multiple times a day (as needed), lots and lots of engaged playtime, and work to put furry family members first! 🐕 🐾 I’m a college student that is currently on summer break; as such, I have a very flexible schedule at the moment (mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc) I make sure keep doors open/headphones off when at home/while dogsitting so that animals don’t have to work to get my attention when they need it—I aim for at least two long walks a day with my high energy dog, with shorter potty breaks interspersed during the day. I understand the importance of accurate portion control for pets and make it a point to keep animals healthy with accurate meal sizes and monitor their water intake throughout the day.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was 10 years old. I currently have three large dogs and regularly care for my cousin’s elderly cat, including giving medication. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family, providing them with the patience, attention, love, and care they deserve. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting whenever you need. I’m happy to work around your schedule and give your pets the love and attention they deserve! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and your home are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and routines, and provide responsible, attentive, loving care while you’re away.
About: With years of hands-on experience in dog care, I bring expert-level knowledge, love, and dedication to every pet I watch over. Whether your pup needs a reliable sitter, a playful companion, or special attention, I provide top-tier care tailored to their unique needs. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! As a stay -at- home mom, I have open availability for dog sitting, providing reliable, loving care for your pets whenever you may need it. I offer dog sitting in my home, providing a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and care. My fenced-in yard allows for secure outdoor play, giving your pup space to exercise and enjoy fresh air. Whether for the day or extended stay, I ensure comfortable, stress free experience so your dog feels at home while your away.
About: I have taken care of many different cats and dogs since I was around 10. Many of my neighbors ask me to watch and walk their pets while they are on vacation. I have taken care of my family dog for the past 10 years. I work overnights Thursday through Monday so I am available during the day until 5pm. On weekends I’m usually available 11-8pm. I love to take a break from my regular job to spend time with animals. I will make sure to follow any instructions you leave for the safety of your pet. I always listen to a dog or cat’s body language to endure I am meeting their needs.
“Ashley is very reliable and flexible when needed. She is accommodating with our constant change of schedule. Not only that but she is great with our dogs. If you’re looking for a trusted dog walker Ashley is the one.”
“Gary is the best!! He's so amazing with my pups! They love him and really enjoy their walks with him. And, he really helped me out when I found myself in need of a walker on short notice. Can't say enough how thankful I am for him & Rover.com!!”
“Lauren was great. We were in a pinch and needed a walker for a week and she graciously helped us out. She communicated clearly and was great with our dog. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Samantha was very kind and caring to my sweet old boy Loukas. She was also very accommodating with my schedule and logistics as we were only in town visiting. I would gladly trust Samantha with Loukas’ care again”
“Leah was great. Excellent communication and she took great care of my old dog on his walks. I appreciate that she was flexible with schedule changes. I would use her again for dog walks!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 6 years old and have taken care of them ever since. On multiple occasions I’ve cared for and walked my neighbors and friend’s dogs as well. I’m a student at Michigan state university but I often come home to my family. I’m available most days in the week, depending on my academic schedule. I live in a condo with my family and thus, will be going to clients houses rather than keeping their dogs in my house. I will also be available to walk their dogs as well.
“Max was great with my German Shepherd, Breezy. My boy can be alot lol, and many people can't handle larger energetic breeds, but Max won him over and seemed to walk him with ease. Breezy was returned happy and tired, which was my goal while I was working. Communication with Max was positive and clear from the start. I recommend!”
“Alexis was super flexible and helpful for a last minute request. She was kind and followed instructions for getting into the house/with Goose without any issues. Would recommend her if you’re looking for your pup to be in good hands!!”
“Our family really needed Avore’s help with our Ladador mix, rescue puppy, Ryder. He’s naturally a bundle of energy and joy and just wants to PLAY, all day, with anyone - and any THING. We live on a busy street and the thought of him being terribly hurt in his innocence to RUN! After ONE WALK, our family could quickly see the improvement! Ryder has been a different (HAPPIER, CALMER, well-behaved) pet since working with Avore. Avore continues to be patient, professional, attentive, and caring for our baby, Ryder! I’m a veteran and educator who’s very detail oriented. I notice that Ryder is so happy to hear Avore’s voice - he’s excited to behave, so he’ll get his walk and when he gets back (not a moment too‘early,’ Avore uses the FULL TIME of what our family’s PAID for) I can tell Ryder’s been worked out - even during these cold months! When she picks him up, it’s “down to the business at hand,” with an openness and enthusiasm that makes hiring her a HUGE WIN for us - AND Ryder. He’s been a much happier fur lovey. Finding Avore is one of the things our family have agreed is just “a must” for us to continue to have Ryder as a healthy member of our family. All I want to say is, THANK YOU, Avore! Your expertise is valued and clearly evident - well worth the search! 🌻”
“Thank you for your help this week! Buster and Bette were in good hands and had lots of fun on their walks all week. Mikayla was energized and friendly and so easy to work with, I really appreciated it and the pups loved it.”
About: I come from an animal loving family where pets are pampered and loved as family members. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and also had the pleasure of fostering many through the years. I look forward to walking your fur babies as well as dropping in when needed to help them stay comfortable, happy and loved. I am very flexible with my schedule and will work with you to make sure your pets are cared for as you want them to be. I'm currently available for walks as well as drop in visits to your home. I will care for your pets as I would my own and ensure they are safe and content.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Franklin on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,238 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 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:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
