“I have never trusted a stranger to walk my dogs so I’m very happy things went well with Elizabeth! It’s great knowing I can trust her when I need a walker again in the future. Elizabeth is very nice and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy person to walk their dog.”

About: My family has dog sat for all sorts of different dogs. Puppies, seniors, energetic, or really anything! I love walking dogs and just having fun with them! I’m a firefighter so I work a rotating schedule of 24 hour shifts. So I get a lot of days off with a lot of availability. I have no pets of my own. Can give my full energy to walking and caring for your dogs whenever the schedules may work out.
About: I've been around animals my whole life! Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also worked for Wag, which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much about caring for pets. My schedule is extremely flexible and I only work part time, so I can care for your pets at almost any time of day, especially mornings and afternoons. In a client's home, the pets are in a familiar environment with an unfamiliar person. So, the first thing I do is give the pets a chance to get used to me! Let them sniff me, let them approach me at their own pace.
“Kailey has been amazing for our puppy Cooper!!! She leaves very detailed notes for us on the walks and we LOVE the pics she takes for us! She understands his quirks and works so well with him!!!”
About: I have taken care of all types of animals from fish to lizards. I take of care my own dogs and cat currently and babysit for family and friends. I currently have the summers off due to being a teacher. This allows me to have open availability all summer! I’m available for all services. I have woods in backyard and a dog park across street to provide plenty of exercise. I would take care of your pets as you wish. Anywhere from a hour walk to a few snuggles in the middle day, I’m happy to do it.
“Excellent immediate communication always. Two days 1.5 hrs late out of 9 days but otherwise on time. I did not see Quazaye with my dog when she was walking him but could tell he was missing her when time ended. Always sent pics, consistent. Would use again! Thank you for your service.”
About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!
About: I've been caring for animals for over 25 years, from mice and rabbits to horses and dogs of all sizes. I'm the proud owner of an Akita named Yoshi, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including strong breeds. Working in healthcare has taught me to be dependable, attentive, and calm under pressure. Whether your dog is here for boarding, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they'll be treated like family with plenty of love, exercise, and personalized care. I am also experienced with senior dogs and giving medication. I work from home two days a week, giving me extra time to spend with the pets in my care. I'm available on Sundays for walks and drop-in visits, and I'm home most weekends for boarding. Need an evening walk between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.? Or a one time weekday overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. ? Send me a message—I may be able to fit you in even if my availability appears closed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only care for one client's pets at a time to provide individualized attention. My friendly Akita, Yoshi, can interact with social dogs or be kept completely separate if needed. I have a spare bedroom, crates available upon request, and a calm, clean environment where your pet can feel at home. I'll also provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind.
“Julie was great with my elderly dog! She was kind and personable and always cheerful! I appreciated her taking such good care of Rogue and walking her in treacherous conditions like ice and snow! I’d definitely recommend her and use her services again :)”
“Jackie did a great job for us! We had several changes to the schedule which she was more than happy to acommodate. We so appreciated her flexibility and willingness to roll with the changes. Would definitely request her anytime we need it. Thank you Jackie!”
About: I’ve grown up owning and taking care of all kinds of animals my whole life. I have two years of professional experience with dog handling and dog walking. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have an opened availability. I’m available every day of the week. I require a 24 hour notice if you are canceling your appointment with your fur baby. I always make sure any fur baby around me is safe, comfortable, and happy. I always use positive, calm tones. I’m always very patient and sympathetic. I always try to understand an animal and their background. As someone who has owned and has worked with animals with abusive backgrounds, I find it very important to connect with and understand the animal. I understand that not everyone can be approached the same way, and some will need more patience than others. Treats are always a gateway to be an animal’s best friend too. (Unless you don’t want your fur baby to receive treats. I totally understand that some animals have allergies and food restrictions)!

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
- 96% 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.
