She consistently prioritizes the well-being of the dogs in her care and brings a calm, friendly energy that puts both pets and owners at ease. Her assertiveness and attentiveness are especially appreciated with puppies, as she handles them with patience, confidence, and genuine affection. Highly recommended.”

About: I have grown up in a home with four dogs and one cat, giving me hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of attention and affection. As a Division I student-athlete, I am responsible, dependable, and committed to following routines to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am highly organized and responsible with my time. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays when needed. I am committed to communicating with pet owners and ensuring their pets receive consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10! I've had the privilege of volunteering at a shelter with all kinds of dogs who need love, working as a veterinary nurse learning the ins and outs of pet health, nannying a sweet bloodhound, and working at a pet boarding site. I became a dog sitter in my community in my hometown and started caring for all kinds of dogs regularly. It has become my absolute favorite pastime. I am comfortable administering medication, training, taking extra care of your senior pup, and working with aggressive/anxious dogs. I can't wait to meet and care for your dogs! Pet care is my main job! Based on what we talk about during our meet n greet, I will shape my schedule around your pets needs and routines. I'm very flexible! How I care for your dogs in your home is really up to you and your dog's preferences and routine. If you have an active dog, we can play outside, take walks, and do some mentally stimulating activities. If your dog is more of a couch potato, we can do a little exercise and then cuddle the day away. I am comfortable working on training and will accommodate what works best for you guys.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 13 years old. I’ve raised dogs, cats, chickens, and even reptiles. I have knowledge of multiple animal breeds and species, and I’m passionate about it all! Currently, I have a dog and a cat of my own that I’ve raised through college. I have experience with dog walking, drop in visits, medicine regimens, and other specialized situations. I am currently transitioning my full-time work, so my schedule is incredibly flexible right now! I am always accepting new Rover clients, so please message me and we can find a time that works best. I have the upmost respect for your safety and your pets safety. I value communication, and provide frequent updates and clear messages throughout visits. I also understand the anxiety of being away from your fur baby, and want to make your time away as peaceful as possible.
“Had a last-minute family emergency come up Jenna was very responsive and easy to talk to. I wasn’t able to meet her first but Rex was very well taken care of. She was very thoughtful about his food and water 100 out of 10 rating! She had great updates throughout the walk and throughout the day!”
About: Hi! I’m Taylor, and I’d love to care for your dog as if they were part of our family. I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy. My husband and I have a sweet, friendly Goldendoodle who loves other dogs, and we have a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play, explore, and burn off energy throughout the day. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, so your dog will receive plenty of attention—not just before and after work. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, lounging on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m able to adapt to their normal routine and provide companionship throughout the day. I also offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding. I’m comfortable caring for adult dogs, senior dogs, and pets who need daily medication. We can crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, and our home has baby gates available if your pup needs their own quiet space. Because we have a toddler, I do ask that dogs staying in our home are comfortable around young children and friendly with other dogs. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where everyone feels comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Troy has been incredible. We hired him to walk one of our dogs while the other was recovering from surgery. He is incredibly nice and always so happy to see Tigger and take him for a walk. He communicated well and was very accommodating to our schedule. We will be using Troy in the future and can’t recommend him highly enough. Your animal will be in great hands with Troy.
We recently adopted a dog and were worried he was snot getting enough exercise. Although 3 years old, our Billy still has puppy energy. We wanted someone to walk him while we were both at work therefore, we turned to Rover. We contacted Jenna and did a meet and greet the next day. She came prepared with an iPad taking notes as we went along our routines. She is amazing and remained professional even after a mishmash.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
