About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also foster dogs and work closely with a local rescue, which has given me experience helping dogs adjust to new environments, build confidence, and feel safe. I'm comfortable working with reactive dogs and have a solid understanding of basic training, so I can reinforce good habits and provide calm, consistent care during walks and visits. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, or plenty of playtime and cuddles, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work evenings as a bartender, so I'm available most mornings and afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. My shifts are typically only a few hours long, which gives me plenty of flexibility, and I also have every other weekend off. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize in my schedule. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual routine and needs. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have the company of my friendly, well-socialized dog. Outdoor time is always supervised, and I can use a lead or crate dogs when appropriate for their safety and comfort. For overnight stays in a client's home, I would need to bring my own dog with me. She is well-trained, respectful, and gets along well with other dogs. I understand that this isn't the right fit for every pet, so I'm always happy to discuss or set up a meet to see whether it would be a good match beforehand. To make sure your pet has the best experience possible, I ask that owners let me know about any treat or food allergies, dietary restrictions, favorite toys, or anything they should avoid. I love following your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away.
“Shelby is a super walker. My dog has some issues. He is super shy of strangers but gets over it easier when other pets are around. She brought one of her dogs along to help him adjust. It worked perfectly. I am so glad we found Shelby!”
About: I have always been around dogs since I was a kid. Between my own, family members and neighbors, I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for many years and been able to adjust to each dog’s needs with no problem at all. I am great at tiring pups out with play or long walks or hanging with them if they are on the lazier side! I work part time in Concord so I’m looking to take care of dogs for fun and some extra cash! I am available differing days of the week depending on my schedule, but when I am free I will be able to tire out the pups with long walks or extended play sessions if they so desire! I will easily be able to navigate client homes and learn a dogs likes and dislikes quickly to make for a smooth and comfortable experience for the pups.
About: I have been around and raised more than 5 dogs..I treat them with all the care amd respect they deserve. All dogs are different but i seem to find a way to achieve the trust of a dog early on . currently working full time but with part time hours..I will adjust my schedule accordingly when needed.I can always fit 20 minutes into a day off or afternoon my apartment has trails close by as well as a fenced in back yard but I will keep the pet on a leash at all times unless instructed otherwise.
“Leilani was very understanding when we had to cancel our bookings for the rest of the week due to family illness. She was still willing to come over and walk our puppy Yamper for us. She's so good with her and we truly appreciate her. I strongly recommend anyone to book with Rover and Leilani.”
About: I like dogs and cats. Doesn’t matter what I watch but cats are easier for sure! I live in Weirs Beach where many peopke walk their dogs. My house is a perfect location for me to watch your pet if you go to a concert at Bank of NH Pavillion or go on the Mt Washington cruise ship or Train ride! Open for anything since I’m retired and have the time now. Prefer to watch pets in my own home but will watch in yours if your more comfortable I don’t have fenced in yard. I would need to walk dogs on leash or keep cats inside. I do have yard for dogs to wander around as long as they are tethered and I’m watching them

I have over an acre of fenced in yard, as well as a willingness to walk or travel with your pup to a dog park for their daily exercise as I do my own pups. My pups are super friendly and eager to make new puppy friends! I am also more than willing to be available for potty breaks and companionship such as play time and cuddles and plenty of petting to ensure they are comfortable and happy!

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.

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.

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.
