About: **English version coming :) Bonjour! Hello! Je m’appelle Vanessa et je parle français et anglais. N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec moi dans la langue de votre choix! Depuis toujours, les animaux occupent une place essentielle dans ma vie. J’ai grandi entourée de chiens et de chats, ce qui m’a permis de développer une véritable complicité avec eux. Je sais à quel point il peut être difficile de confier son compagnon à quelqu’un d’autre. C’est pourquoi je prends cette responsabilité très au sérieux. Avec moi, votre animal recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins qu’il mérite. Vous pouvez avoir l’esprit tranquille : je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s’il faisait partie de ma propre famille. 🌸 Je suis également disponible pour m’occuper d’autres types d’animaux. Avec vos consignes et les informations nécessaires, je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour répondre à leurs besoins et assurer leur bien-être. Je dois toutefois avouer que j’ai moins d’expérience avec les oiseaux, les rongeurs et les reptiles. Cela dit, si vous prenez le temps de m’expliquer leurs besoins et votre routine, je serai ravie de m’en occuper avec attention. À la maison, les animaux font partie de mon quotidien! J’en ai plusieurs et je m’occupe aussi d’une colonie de chats. Vous pouvez donc avoir confiance : je suis habituée à prendre soin de nos amis à quatre pattes! Mon objectif est toujours le même : offrir une présence bienveillante, rassurante et des soins de qualité à votre compagnon, quel qu’il soit! 🐾 Hello! My name is Vanessa, and I speak both French and English. Feel free to contact me in whichever language you prefer! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, which allowed me to build a strong bond with them from an early age. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companion, and that's why I take that responsibility very seriously. With me, your pet will receive all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. You can have peace of mind knowing that I'll care for your companion as if they were part of my own family. 🌸 I'm also happy to care for other types of pets. As long as you provide me with their routine and any important instructions, I'll always do my best to meet their needs and ensure they're happy, healthy, and comfortable. I do have less experience with birds, rodents, and reptiles. That said, if you take the time to explain their care routine and specific needs, I'd be more than happy to look after them with the same dedication and attention. At home, animals are part of my everyday life! I have several pets of my own, and I also care for a colony of community cats. You can trust that I'm very comfortable caring for our four-legged friends and treating them with the love and respect they deserve! My goal is always the same: to provide kind, reliable, and high-quality care, giving your companion the love and reassurance they deserve, no matter what kind of pet they are. 🐾 Agente de bord, je bénéficie d’un horaire très flexible. Je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour m’adapter à vos disponibilités, et je suis convaincue que nous pourrons trouver un horaire qui nous conviendra à tous! Je suis ouverte aux demandes additionnelles : passer du temps avec vos compagnons, les surveiller dans la cour, promener votre chat, jouer avec eux… ect. Je propose des gardes à domicile ainsi que des sorties! Sachez que je prendrai soin de vos animaux comme vous le feriez vous-même à la maison, en respectant à la lettre vos règles et vos habitudes. Que vous préfériez laisser un bol de nourriture disponible toute la journée ou suivre un horaire précis pour les repas, je m’adapterai avec plaisir. Mon seul intérêt est le bien-être et le bonheur de vos animaux.
About: I have had doggies my whole life and since my last darling passed, I have been a foster Mom and boarder to many! I adore doggies and have a huge yard and heart to match! I support many online charities that save and care for refuge doggies! I was also a caregiver for my senior Mom in her latter years, so patience and love come naturally to me. I am retired so home all day and love having doggies to share the house! I also share the house with a friend so we are both available for walkings etc. I have a huge yard that is partially fenced-in to allow doggies to run and "do their business" throughout the day outside of regular walk times.
“Lorenço is the sitter you're looking for! He's been caring for my energetic 4-month-old terrier several days a week and has consistently been reliable, patient and understanding (especially during the ongoing puppy biting phase!) He adapts to Watson's needs and treats him like his own. I always know Watson is in great hands while I'm at work. I trust Lorenço completely and highly recommend him. 15/10!”
About: J’ai toujours eu un grand amour pour les animaux, particulièrement les chiens. J’ai l’habitude de m’occuper d’eux au quotidien : promenades, jeux, alimentation et m’assurer qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et bien entourés. Je suis une personne responsable, attentive et patiente, et je comprends l’importance de respecter les habitudes et les besoins de chaque animal. Avec moi, votre chien recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins nécessaires pendant votre absence. Je suis disponible pour m’occuper de vos animaux tous les jours de la semaine, avec des plages horaires flexibles selon vos besoins. Je peux faire des promenades matin, midi ou soir, ainsi que des visites à domicile pour nourrir, jouer et veiller au bien-être de vos compagnons. Pour toute demande particulière ou horaire personnalisé, n’hésitez pas à me contacter, je m’adapte volontiers pour le confort de votre animal. Chez nous, les animaux sont notre priorité. Nous avons une cour arrière sécurisée où ils peuvent jouer librement, et mes grandes filles adorent les animaux et participent aux soins et aux jeux. Chaque compagnon reçoit toute notre attention, notre affection et un environnement sûr et joyeux où il se sentira comme à la maison.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Franklin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Franklin walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Franklin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
