“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.”
“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!”
“Christy was absolutely awesome with my 2 babies. She gave them tons of love and attention and they had such a great time they both went straight to their beds and went to sleep when we got home. Christy is great with the dogs and you can tell how much she loves them. I plan on continuing on using her for my dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone that will take great care of your dogs.”
“Karen is an exceptionally communicative and reliable dog walker. 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.”
“Awww she looks so happy! Thank you and look forward to having you visit her for future sits. We are going out of town 8/14-17so I will see if you are available for that too”

About: Trusted Dog Care—What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love and attention I give to every dog in my care. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they are part of my own family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help sticking to a routine. I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully, especially when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special care needs. Because I have a five-year-old Golden Retriever named Harley, I’m very familiar with daily routines, exercise needs, and giving plenty of affection and playtime. I’m comfortable reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and making sure dogs feel secure in their environment. My goal is always to make things as stress-free as possible for both dogs and their owners, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in dependable and caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own five-year-old Golden Retriever, Harley. My days are built around making sure he is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and consistency, so I’m already used to maintaining a structured and reliable routine for an active dog. Because of this, I’m able to easily incorporate pet care for others into my schedule. I’m flexible and organized, which allows me to plan walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday drop-ins, or evening care, I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they are used to. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I prioritize and look forward to, not something I squeeze in. My goal is always to make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away.

My days are built around making sure he is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and consistency, so I’m already used to maintaining a structured and reliable routine for an active dog. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get the right amount of exercise and playtime, and receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m also careful to keep their environment clean and to follow any specific instructions the owner provides. Because I’m organized and flexible, I can easily work pet care into my schedule and adjust to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday drop-ins, evening care, or overnight support, I focus on providing dependable, consistent care so pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals throughout my life. I have had a dog and a cat and I’m comfortable around all animals. I have a gentle personality and get along with all pets! I have plenty of time during my weeks to play with pets! I am currently looking for a music industry job in the area and would love to help out the community in the meantime! I am comfortable playing with, caring for, and interacting with all animals. I have a fenced in yard and always love the company of a furry friend.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was about 15, either house sitting, walking, or drop ins. I have experience with all animal behaviors and am comfortable with most. I am available any time; I don’t have a traditional job anymore. Monday through Friday and select weekends depending on the need of the pet! I am not able to watch pets in my home, but in yours. I am mostly available to do drop ins; long or short. I am happy to give them enrichment whether it be fetch or wand toys!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
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.

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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
