“Brittany is so awesome! Communicative, caring and kind. She loved on my Jordy like he was her own. Sending me updates and picture constantly, I loved that. Even let me know he was itching and gave him some medicine while I was away. Definitely booking again! 🙏🏽🥲🐕”
“Joseph has been our go-to dog walker for over a year now. He was an absolute godsend during a medical emergency that prevented us from coming home for a couple of days. Joseph came by nearly around the clock to walk, feed, and water our two picky hounds. Thank you, Joseph!”
“Taylor is the best! She takes great care of my bulldog while I’m at work and goes above and beyond. She also gives thorough updates on her visits everyday. I highly recommend Taylor. My pup loves her!”
“Janine was lovely! She took the time to do the last minute meet and greet. Had the biggest patience with my puppy who gets really excited. She took her time and gave treats to let him calm down. My fur babies loved her.”

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.

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.
