“Shayla has been wonderful! She walks my little Rocky every Tuesday while I'm at school. It's been so helpful to know I can rely on her to help give him a potty break mid day, and Rocky seems to love her!! :)”
About: Hi! My name is Jenna, and I’m a dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I currently have one dog of my own and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I offer drop-in visits that can include feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, medication reminders (if needed), and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal routine. My availability is generally: • Monday–Friday: 8:00–10:00 AM and 5:00–8:00 PM • Mid-day visits may be available with advance arrangement • Weekends are more flexible with notice Whether your pet loves walks, cuddles, playtime, or just having someone check in and keep them company, I’m happy to help! I have a relatively flexible daily schedule, especially in the summer to help care for your pets. I can take them for walks while you work or check in on them throughout your vacation. During the school year I can provide morning, afternoon, and evening check ins and walks or playtime. I have a 65 lb dog of my own who I take for walks, play with in the yard and spend lots of time snuggling. I am happy to take your pet on a walk in your neighborhood or play with them in your back yard. I can feed and water them and ensure they go outside. I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medication to dogs. Injectable medication for cats. I have experience with guinea pigs as well. I am comfortable handling them, conscious of their dietary needs and restrictions. I am not afraid of large animals and happy to walk them.
“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 grew up always having pets in my life, including cats, dogs, and small animals, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years. I also lived on a farm for three years, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and their different needs. My mom was a vet tech, so our home was often full of animals she brought home to care for, including dogs, cats, a goat, and even a fawn. Over the years, I’ve also helped with pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, check-ins, giving pets attention and reassurance, and keeping owners updated so they know their pets are doing well. I’m a stay-at-home mom with elementary and middle school aged children, which gives me flexibility during the school day to care for pets. I’m available for weekday drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while owners are at work or away. I’m happy to work with each family’s routine and make sure pets get the care and attention they’re used to. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure doors, gates, crates, food, water, and leashes are handled safely. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, including shy, energetic, older, or routine-sensitive animals. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10! I've had the privilege of volunteering at a shelter with all kinds of dogs who need love, working as a veterinary nurse learning the ins and outs of pet health, nannying a sweet bloodhound, and working at a pet boarding site. I became a dog sitter in my community in my hometown and started caring for all kinds of dogs regularly. It has become my absolute favorite pastime. I am comfortable administering medication, training, taking extra care of your senior pup, and working with aggressive/anxious dogs. I can't wait to meet and care for your dogs! Pet care is my main job! Based on what we talk about during our meet n greet, I will shape my schedule around your pets needs and routines. I'm very flexible! How I care for your dogs in your home is really up to you and your dog's preferences and routine. If you have an active dog, we can play outside, take walks, and do some mentally stimulating activities. If your dog is more of a couch potato, we can do a little exercise and then cuddle the day away. I am comfortable working on training and will accommodate what works best for you guys.
“Jemma is the best! Shes so sweet and loving when it comes to Smoke. She is always on time, very communicative, and best of all, Smoke loves her. I will continue to book with her!”
“Marianne consistently goes above and beyond for our energetic, black lab puppy and older lab/shepherd mix! She communicates clearly with me and is always dependable. Our puppy enjoys the walks and the playtime in the backyard. She gives love to both dogs, and they are better off for it. We are so thankful for her service!”
About: Professionalism, integrity, top tier care and timeliness are my main priorities. I have a years of experience caring for canines and cats. When they are with me, I love to take them on adventures, play fetch, walks, and give them lots of love. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do morning, night and mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!
About: Fun fact I used to be afraid of animals until I was about 12. Now I have 4 cats and have owned 6 dogs over the years. I have trained 3 of them to a basic degree and also own a snake. I love animals of all kinds and more often than not they warm up to me instantly! I am interested in summer work during the off season and am available most days almost anytime with some exceptions. I prefer mornings to mid afternoons but am very flexible! Standard house sitting includes overnight care plus daytime absences up to 4–8 hours depending on the pets’ needs. I also offer constant care for houses and pets for a custom rate depending on the individual and pets schedule! Since I have 4 cats and a human I cant board pets at home. But I have no issues staying over a night if needed, and can easily House-sit, Dog-sit, and Cat-sit in the greater Franklin area! I can feed, play, walk, provide potty breaks, and even teach dogs a trick or two.
“Carley took our dog Emmitt on a long walk. She took lots of pictures and played with him when they got back. Our little guy is a ball of energy and she handled him well. Thanks Carley!”
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.
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.
About: I'm a stay-at-home college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I've grown up around both dogs and cats and have years of experience caring for them. At home, I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding, basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adjust my care to meet their needs. I'm currently working part-time, but I typically work 1-3 days a week and shifts that are only 4 1/2 hours, so I won't be away for too long. I make sure there is a clean environment for the pets, and I make sure that all pets are taken care of correctly. All pets are different, and I try to meet every pet's needs so how I care for every pet differs with how the pet needs to be taken care of. When it comes to taking care of the house itself, I try to be super neat and leave the house better than I found it.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was about 15, either house sitting, walking, or drop ins. I have experience with all animal behaviors and am comfortable with most. I am available any time; I don’t have a traditional job anymore. Monday through Friday and select weekends depending on the need of the pet! I am not able to watch pets in my home, but in yours. I am mostly available to do drop ins; long or short. I am happy to give them enrichment whether it be fetch or wand toys!
About: I have two dogs and two cats at home, so I know how to handle a lot of animals! I have grown up with a house full of animals and have been exposed to lots of other pets whether family, friends, or neighbors! I can’t wait to help out! I am currently home from college and have lots of time to check on any furry friends! I am very flexible and would love to help! When I am home from college on any kind of breaks I will also be available! Your pets safety is my priority! I value communication and respect, in which you can rely on me to care for your furry friend with intentionality! Pets are apart of our families, and I will make sure your family member is feeling loved and comforted while you are away!

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 West Harpeth. 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 West Harpeth.

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 West Harpeth. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
