“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!”
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.
“From the minute I met Brittany I knew this would be a great fit. She is so kind and outgoing, and Molly loved her. She was very outgoing and punctual. I have to say I was a little nervous using Rover from the beginning, but it was the best choice that I’ve made. I will most definitely be using Brittany in the future. What a blessing.”
“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.”
“Thanks for taking Jax for a lovely lunch time walk Kaylene, he had a great time and has been very content and settled this afternoon/evening. The photos and updates were also great. Looking forward to the next time :)”
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.
“Taylor did such a great job of taking care of our Stella. She had excellent communication and described in detail how their visits were every walk. Stella looked so happy in our photos, highly recommend her!!”
“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’ve been taking care of animals my whole life! I currently walk my neighbors dogs, take care of kittens & cats, and my own clan of furry friends! I would take care of your pets as I would want someone trusting and loving to do the same for mine! ❤️ I work from home, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends to walk, play, cuddle, and spend quality time caring for your beloved fur child. I live in a townhome community in Franklin, with lots of space to walk and play with your dogs! I own a 2 bedroom condo with a backed in fenced area also:)
About: I love dogs and will treat your furry family member like my own! I love snuggling with dogs (if your dog enjoys that kind of thing). I have a large Bernedoodle in the home, he loves dogs and is a big goofball. I have a lot of experience with babysitting dogs- big and small. Will make sure your dog has a fun time while you are away. :) your dog will get daily exercise and A LOT of attention. I can send you daily pictures of your dog so you know what he/she is up to! I stay in most of the time, I currently am in an MBA program. I work full time, but I work hybrid remote (2 days remote). I work close to home, so I can bounce back and forth if I am needed in the office. I give them lots of love! I never take the dogs out without putting their leash on, for their safety. I have a large dog in the home who is a gentle giant and loves all dogs.
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for house, farm, and hunting dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Being around so many different types of dogs has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic care, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like my own and always make reliability, attention, and communication a priority. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available from mornings through after dinner for walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care. Because of my flexible routine, I’m able to adjust to a pet’s normal schedule and make sure they stay comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I make sure pets stay comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I always keep a clean, secure environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels relaxed and cared for while they’re away. I also keep owners updated with daily messages and photos so they know their pet is safe and in good hands.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Franklin on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,060 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 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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
