“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.
“Mackenzie is so good with our elderly dog. She patiently walks him at his pace and let him sniff all his favorite spots. We are very happy to have found a compassionate caring person to care for our dog when we can’t be there. We have also had an excellent experience with her watching him for a week at our home and are repeat customers.”
About: I have had pets pretty much my entire life so I have plenty of experience, particularly with cats. My family is known as the neighbourhood pet sitters, watching dogs, cats, a hamster, and even a bearded dragon. I am a stay-at-home mom of older kids. That allows me plenty of flexibility to drop in for pet visits and dog walking as needed. Since I have my own vehicle, I can drop in easily to check on your baby (or babies). I love taking long walks, so if you have a dog who loves to walk, I am happy to go along for the ride.
“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.”
“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!”

“Lauren is a caring and conscientious caregiver. She loves dogs and takes great care to make sure that she has your dog’s best care in mind. Our dog loves to be walked by Lauren.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets including cats and dogs for about 3 years now, not including the cats and dogs I grew up with! I currently have a cat who loves cuddles and going on walks in his stroller! I currently work fully remote so I’ll have a lot of free time to tend to and play with your pet! I go on daily walks, perfect to give your pet time to stretch and get some fresh air I have ample space for pets to roam and play in my home. There’s also space to crate your pet if preferred. There is a walking path right outside my door that we can use for walks and potty *I walk cats as well! - in stroller*
About: I have had dogs my whole life, big and small. I often volunteer at the michigan humane society with their doggy daycare to get dogs socialized and out of the kennel for a while. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, energetic dogs, and the lazy ones! My grandma used to own a pit-bull rescue and has forever inspired me to help our four legged friends live their best life! I work full time, my schedule is not very predictable but I always know my schedule a month in advance allowing me to plan ahead, my schedule rarely changes once it is out which allows me to open up my walking availability pretty early! Although I do not offer overnight services at the moment, I have grown up in various houses with many types of yards, always with a fence, gates, and proper doggy precautions. I am always respectful of anyone space I am in by, cleaning up after myself, keeping to myself, and treating peoples homes with care.
“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 grew up with pets since I was brought home as a baby! Along with that, I’ve cat and dog sat for family members and I guess I’m just willing to expand! I’m working part time this summer so that means I still have a lot of free time! I am available to help out routinely until I go back to school or one time jobs too! My cats are indoor cats and I guess the fact that they never try to get outside is a reflection for how well they are cared for! I also had a dog growing up and a lot of my friends do so I have been surrounded by cats and dogs for a long time.

“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! 🌻”

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.

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:
- 92% 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.
