“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!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and love getting to know their personality! I’m great with both energetic puppies (potty breaks, playtime, routines) and sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I also send lots of updates and photos, so you’ll never miss your furry friend too much! I am also MORE than happy to take same-day drop ins & walks. I’m currently working a part-time internship while home from UTK for the summer (Go Vols!), so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup(s)! I currently only provide on-site dog care at this time. I love dogs and being active! We can go on walks, have playtime, or just hang out! Whatever works best for your pup! :)
“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”

“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.”

About: I have dog & puppy sat for clients, friends and family over the last 12 years. I love dogs & know playtime & regular exercise is essential to their health but not everyone has the time to help them get as much as they may need. This is where I come in! Whether it's just walks, overnight stays or puppy playtime I'm your girl. I started out my care of animals volunteering at an animal shelter in the Bay Area. I went there to adopt an animal and it broke my heart to see all of the dogs locked up in cages all looking up out of their cages with their sweet puppy dog eyes hoping they could be given a second chance & taken home with you. I wanted to take them all home! I then made it my primary mission to begin volunteering numerous times a week walking as many dogs as I could. Most of them I had to walk individually for safety reasons so it was quite the exercise regime for me but I loved knowing I could get them out for some playtime & extra attention they so deserved, especially not knowing what their fate would be. From then on I decided to also pick up extra work in addition to my full time job being a caretaker for all pets, my passion truly lies with animals and I find it very therapeutic in so many ways, bonding with animals of all different kinds but above all... dogs☺️ I work part time teaching pilates and my partner works from home so we provide constant care and attention. My schedule allows frequent breaks to attend to the dogs with walks, potty breaks and bonding time with other dogs There’s a dog park and trails at our apartment complex and the dog will be with us at all times. With dogs who are reactive on leash I always ensure to create a safe distance from other dogs and do not let dogs off leash unless in an enclosed space
“WOW! Barbara is the BEST. She took such great care of my dog Winnie while I was out of town. She fed, watered, walked, and played with Winnie and sent me prompt updates with multiple photos each day! She even picked up my mail for me! Cannot recommend Barbara enough. She is thoughtful, warm, and polished. I was so scared to leave my dog in someone else’s care and Barbara absolutely assuaged any concerns I had. 12/10. Will be rebooking!! 💕”

“Macon isn’t outstanding pet care professional. She is communicative, compassionate, and goes the extra mile for the pups in her care. Paisley always comes home excited yet exhausted at the same time. Macon will make an excellent vet one day!”

“Leigh- Ann has been great. She was so good we hired her for a second week. Bella, our boxer, has quickly adapted to her. I would highly recommend Leigh-Ann to anyone who is interested in a new dog walker!”

About: When I'm home from college, I live on a street that has lots of pets, so for the past 7ish years, my neighbors have asked me to pet sit while they have been out of town. At home, I have a senior dog and a small dog with 3 legs, so I have experience with both seniors and disabled dogs. I am a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I don't have many in-person classes, so I should be available most of the time. I care for pets by taking them on walks throughout the day, ensuring they have enough water, feeding them at the appropriate times, administering their medication, and playing with them during the day.

Franklin dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
