“Brianna is so wonderful ! My puppy is a little shy and is slow to trust people. Brianna is so gentle and patient with her, follows all of my instructions well and is always on time! I will definitely book her again!”
“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”
“This was our first time having Kathryn walk our boy Sammy and she was great. Even dealt with a crazy family freind one day. The friend will never be at our house again when we are away, I promise you. Could not recommend her more. Thanks Kathryn!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs large and small since I was eleven years old! Including my own, such as Irish Setters, Jack Russell’s, and Corgis. I understand how to handle dogs of all temperaments, from little pups to old timers, and am able to adapt quickly to give the best care to each dog! I’m currently working full time, so I’m desperate to get involved with some animals more often. I’m available in the mornings before work, and in the evenings after! Whatever your need, I can do! I understand most people have different preferences when it comes to their pets, and I totally understand that! I can assist in crate training, walking, letting out in the yard if you have one, and whatever other specifications you have to make sure your pet is happy as can be!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a beautiful dog of my own who means the world to me. Having a dog myself has taught me how important patience, attention, and genuine care are. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine since I have pets of my own. I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so their safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, keep a close eye on your dog during walks and visits, and make sure they have everything they need. I’ll also respect your home and your dog’s usual routine so they feel as comfortable as possible.
“Gabrielle was a great. She came on time and walked both of my dogs for 30 minutes. I loved that she sent photos and distance details. My dogs seemed happy and tired after their walk. I will definitely be using her on a weekly basis.”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience caring for young, energetic pets and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable with pets that need extra attention or a calmer environment. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home most days, so pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available throughout the day to provide consistent attention, care, walks, and supervision. I have a large fenced yard. I also have plenty of toys for them. I do have small friendly dogs that love to play. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for, with fresh water, safe spaces, and plenty of attention.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, so caring for animals has been part of my life for 35 years. I currently have dogs of my own and am comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced with cats, birds, reptiles, and other small pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pets, and I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have four dogs of my own, and I walk all four every day. We also visit a nearby dog park a couple of times a week for extra exercise, play, and enrichment. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and walks throughout the day. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way they’re accustomed to. I take safety seriously on walks and during drop-in visits, including securely closing doors and gates and keeping dogs leashed whenever required. I’m comfortable with multiple-pet households and pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ll also provide photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin Square
Cristofer has recently started walking our Golden . He has taken the best care of her. Walking her a good distance to get her energy out . While making sure she does her business before bring her home and putting her safely in her crate. He is excellent at keeping me in the loop as to her sending plenty of pictures and providing good feedback . I’m sure My Maggie has befriended Cristoper for years to come .
John is the best dog walker we have ever had. He came over for 2 meet and greets to make sure our Coco was comfortable. He is an animal lover and it shows. My dog often won’t eat when we are gone. He ate all of his food. John took amazing care of Coco. He is always on time!
Julia was absolutely amazing. We booked her to feed and walk our golden Doc. She went above and beyond, taking care of our house and packages and even spending extra time with Doc to keep him company. She updated us every day after each walk, sending photos and messages. Julia is so kind and clearly has a love for animals. It was nice to know our pup was in such great care while we were away. Thank you Julia!!
Jane was not only wonderful with our dogs, but proved extremely reliable during an extended weekend where we were out of town and all of our discussed plans were disrupted by the unforeseen—storms, road closures, etc. She provided clear and timely communication in dealing with changes, and we quickly felt comfortable trusting her best judgment to both attend to and care for our two dogs.

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 Square. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin Square. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
