“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! 🙏🏽🥲🐕”
“Taylor took great care of Ranger. Her walks were well documented and she was easy to communicate with! She even took the time to sit and pet Ranger when it was raining or hot and the walks were feasible. Thanks Taylor, hope you can visit Ranger again!”
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. Having grown up with four dogs and one cat, I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests from owners. 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.
“Christy is an energetic dog lover who did a great job exercising my Golden Retriever! She is very punctual and reliable. Buddy came back from his walks tired and very happy. I will be using Christy again! Highly recommended!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I dog sat for neighbors, friends, and more. I have cared for a variety of ages and types of dogs. I also have some experience caring for cats as well! I currently have a flexible schedule and am able to make pet care work in any capacity. I am available weekdays or weekends whether it’s dog walking, in home care, or boarding! I will follow whatever preferences or boundaries you have! I do not have any pets currently in my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a dog park in my neighborhood that tends to stay pretty empty if the dog is more active.
“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.”
“Megan was wonderful! So prompt and always on time! Always left very descriptive and comforting notes. Went above and beyond what I asked for and I felt so confident leaving my boy in her hands.”
“Did an awesome job of communicating and sending pictures of my dog, made me feel comfortable doing the walk-in visit I’ll definitely use again in the future if needed, Kat did a great job of communicating before hand, during, and after much appreciated!”
About: My family and I live on a farm with our Border Collie, Solo, our Toy Australian Shepherd, Scout, 2 indoor cats, Snowy and Speedy, at least 2 barn cats, Mama Kitty and Glitter, 3 horses, Magic, Radi and Jazzy and 8 sweet chickens. There are always animals around the farm to feed, water, brush and enjoy playing with for everyone! My family, along with my 8 and 10 year old kids, have helped take care of many friends dogs, cats and chickens when they are out of town and we would love to help you out as well. We understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies and worry about them while you are trying to enjoy vacation with your friends and family or trying to concentrate at work. We have had dogs and cats from the time they were puppies and kittens until they lived to be 16 years old. I currently take care of all the animals on the farm, with a little help from the kids! Plus, my partner has worked as a vet tech and trained both dogs and horses, working with and around animals for 25 years! Your sweet fur baby will be in great hands with us! After finishing remodeling our house and with both kids in school, I have lots of time during your workdays to help with all your fur babies! And during the summer, the kids love to help me with all the animals! I love caring for and loving all animals! I would love to come hang out, walk, feed, brush, play and check in on them during the work day! I love having a flexible schedule to be able to help with your sweet animals while still being able to pick up my children from school and attend their activities. They also love all animals and may come with me to help take care of them when it is safe and the opportunity allows!
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking Mochi for a walk! She followed all of the instructions and left me a thoughtful note afterward. Mochi looked so happy and enjoy his walk with her. I really appreciate how attentive and caring Taylor was! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha takes excellent care of my pup! Not only does she play and get his wiggles out, but she works with him on reinforcing manners and obedience. Happy to have found her”
“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: I have been dogsitting since I was around 13 years old for many different families. I have been around dogs my whole life and have owned and helped raise 4 dogs. Two were raised from the puppy stage. The other two were raised till senior age. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs from golden doodles to Yorkies! I have a deep love for dogs and always enjoy being around animals. It brings me so much joy! I am a college student but my afternoons are usually free and on weekends I always go home if I have nothing planned and spent time with my pets and family. I am very respectful of others space and possessions. I understand I am a guest and act accordingly and take up minimal space and don’t abuse the generosity and trust clients have put in me.
About: Hey there! I’m Kyle, I am 23 years old and just graduated from the University of South Carolina. I am here in Brentwood with my parents for the next year or so and am trying to make some extra money before I accept a full time job and move out to my own place. I have had many pets since I was born, as well as a lot of random baby/house/pet sitting jobs since I was a freshman in high school. I love all types of dogs and pets, including my gigantic golden labradoodle Striker. I love walking and being outside and would love to meet and take care of your dog!! My schedule is pretty wide open. I have a couple part time jobs but nothing that has me on too tight of a schedule so it is usually super easy for me to switch things around and make things work best for your timing! I have a huge dog that I walk every day and have learned how to be super safe with dogs on the road. I have also grown up with many different dogs and animals so fully trust myself to keep your animals safe.
About: I’ve taken care of my yorkshire terrier since I was 12, making me very experienced with small dogs (and ones that aren’t potty-trained)! Additionally, last summer I watched a german shorthaired pointer for two months, making me experienced with big dogs as well. Finally, I’ve taken care of a ferret for almost a year now! This makes me well acquainted with changing litter and tasks similar to taking care of cats! I will be working part-time in the summer, but all other time can be devoted to your pets! I work Tuesday and Thursday night, but can stop by before and after work. And I work Sat mornings and a double on Sunday, but once again I can stop by before or after my shifts! Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are completely free days/nights for your pets! I will absolutely care and love for your pets like they’re my own. I have a nippy and yappy yorkie, so I’m not afraid to work with your pets if they need that! Also, my ferret needs constant attention (playtime everyday) and constant cleaning of her cage to ensure no bad smells occur. This makes me a mindful and clean pet owner, so I will bring that into my services! I would love to make your pets feel as “at home” with me as they can with their owners!
About: Hi I’m Brittan! I am a Nashville native and a graduate from The University of Alabama! I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years now and have loved every minute of it! I grew up with several dogs and cats and can’t wait to take care of your furry friend! My favorite activity to do with dogs I watch is take them to the park for a walk and the local trails to get exercise for both the dogs and myself! I also love a quiet day snuggling with fur babies on the couch! I LOVE sending pics of your fur baby and what we’re doing so definitely expect a few! I would love to hear about your pets, their specific needs, and what you would like out of a pet sitter. Thank you so much for considering me! Please let me know if you have any questions, you and your pet’s comfort is my top priority! I am currently working full time from home so I have plenty of time to take your pet out or for walks whenever they need! I have no other dogs or cats in the home to ensure your pet is comfortable. I also love to know as much information as possible about your pet prior to watching them to ensure we both have a great time!

Ryan was absolutely amazing! She came by twice today to take care of Mochi, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly sweet, patient, reliable, and thoughtful. She went above and beyond to make sure Mochi was comfortable and well taken care of, even cleaning up and replacing his pee pad! I especially appreciated her detailed updates and how much genuine love and attention she gave Mochi. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands while I was away all day. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful pet sitter. I’ll absolutely be booking with Ryan again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Franklin is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,949 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Franklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Franklin. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Franklin after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
