About: Hello, I'm Kristen and I would love to spoil your dog(s) while you are away! I started Rover dog-sitting after losing my dog of 12 years and it was the best decision. I've watched dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy learning what makes them unique. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to meet many dogs and learn more about dog behavior. I will treat your dogs like my own and make sure they get plenty of exercise to work off any anxiety from missing you. I'm happy to take care of puppies (if they are potty-trained) and senior dogs (if they are ok with stairs) and provide the extra attention they need. I live in a three-story townhome with a small carpeted basement off the garage, hardwood floor on main level, and carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. I have a small non-fenced yard in the back with a deck (4 stairs to ground). I've attached pictures of all the stairs for anyone with senior dogs. Dogs are free to couch-surf and allowed on the bed here. But I can reinforce whatever the rules are in their home.
“Lauren was great and we’ll definitely work with her again. Her communication was excellent and thorough, and she was able to quickly develop a relationship with our cat. Lauren followed directions to the T, and made recommendations on things I hadn’t thought about. Lauren gave us peace of mind and I highly recommend her!”
“Samantha was great! She came over to meet the cats and was flexible with timing since this was last minute. One of my cats is not great with new people but flopped over on her side for Samantha. It made me feel comfortable and I will be using her again!”
“Sofia truly goes above and beyond. She made sure my sweet girl had everything she needed when she wasn’t feeling well, gave her meds and kept me updated on how she was doing. She’s the absolute best, I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Miranda was able to accommodate me last minute before a short out of town trip for a few days and was available for a virtual meeting and she followed instructions I sent her through a Google Docs very well. She was so attentive, loving and patient with both my fur babies Suki and Lilith and I could tell from the Rover card pictures that my kitties felt so comfortable with her! She went above and beyond to give them treats and playtime and she was overall amazing. She was very communicative and flexible. I would book with her again and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to drop in on their cats while they’re away! Thank you tons, Miranda 🥰🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Lucy was a wonderful dogsitter! She was very thoughtful and caring with our Binya and kept us updated with photos and notes the whole time we were gone. It was a HUGE relief to know that Binya was being cared for so well. Highly recommended!”
“Cassidy is fabulous! She provides great communication, updates, and is very timely. I fully trust her taking care of my dogs. An added bonus is they are tired when I get home after long work day! Would recommend!”
“Mariia is the best! She has watched our two cats multiple times now, and we always know they’re in great hands. She also so kindly brought in our mail during her visits, which was much appreciated given we were out of town for quite some time. We will definitely continue to request her every time we have pet sitting needs!”
“Gabby is amazing and I would wholeheartedly recommend her! Gabby has been coming to spend time with our puppy every day (and she absolutely loves Gabby). Gabby is communicative and very helpful and I am looking forward to continuing working with her!”
“My experience with Stephanie was wonderful! She was so good with my pets and took great care of them while i was so busy this week! She was a great communicator giving updates, asking questions, and verifying things along the way. I would trust her with my babies anytime!”
“Daniella did a wonderful job taking care of our pups and communicating with us. We received lots of photos and she checked in if there were any concerns or questions. She did an excellent job!”
“Zachary did a great job taking care of our kitties while were out the the country. I really appreciated the updates I received through the app, so i never had to worry!”
“Viviana was an absolutely amazing petsitter! She was always timely, sent great photos/videos of Wednesday, and went above & beyond in taking care of her. Highly recommend!”
“Elvia is wonderful with our two cats. She takes time to engage with them while she's here and sends thorough updates with lots of pictures. I can't recommend her highly enough!!”
“Jackie took amazing care of Tycho during our trip, with highly communicative updates that really gave us peace of mind — especially around the fireworks on July 4th. She went above and beyond, spending extra time with Tycho to help him feel safe and calm, and giving him lots of extra cuddles. We could not have asked for better care, and we’re so grateful to have found such a thoughtful, reliable sitter! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had over 10 years of hands on experience caring for my own dog, including providing special care for her in her later years. That experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how important it is to treat every pet with love and understanding. I truly love dogs! They bring me genuine happiness, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. While I may be new to pet walking professionally, I’m committed to earning your trust by providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care every time. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available most days and can be flexible with timing, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so walks and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive on walks, keep a close eye on surroundings, and follow all instructions you provide. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover since birth!! Caring for pets had always been a great passion of mine and I genuinely enjoy it. I have cared for several pets and have also volunteered an animal shelter for 2 years! Looking forward to caring for your beloved pet :) I’m currently on vacation so I have all the time in the world to spend time with your pets! I work on ships but am home for months at time. I am very bubbly and will give your pet the best playtime. I can do walks, bathing, taking adventures or just some relaxation in the home. You name it and I will work with you :)
“Hieu and Anna were amazing! They took great care of my 2 energetic Australian Shepherds while I was out of town. They were wonderful at communicating and gave me updates. My one dog is scared of the elevator and they were able to get him to go on. My doggies are always excited to see them and I will definitely request their help in the future!”

I highly recommend Mariana! From the very beginning, she was flexible, thoughtful, and genuinely caring with my dog. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me informed, which gave me great peace of mind. I’ll admit, I was initially a little uneasy about using a dog walker I hadn’t met in person yet. However, something in my spirit told me my dog was in good hands, and I’m so glad I trusted that feeling. Mariana exceeded my expectations and treated my dog with kindness and care. Thank you so much, Mariana, for your professionalism, compassion, and dedication. I truly appreciate everything you did and would not hesitate to recommend you to others! 🐾💕
Lea did a wonderful job caring for my animals and followed all of my instructions perfectly. Communication was excellent—always responsive, timely, and reliable. The genuine affection shown toward my pets was just as warm and welcoming as Lea’s personality. I would absolutely recommend Lea’s services and would happily rebook in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 15,362 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Franconia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Franconia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Franconia 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!
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Franconia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franconia. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 sitter.
