“Constanza did an amazing job taking care of our very skittish cat while we were gone for over 2 weeks. She sent detailed updates, kept everything super clean, and even went above and beyond (like by taking our garbage out to the curb). I trusted that fur baby was in good hands the whole time and will definitely book her again.”
“Amanda was wonderful! Very professional and attentive. My cats were happy and didn’t misbehave at all while I was gone, which is not normal behavior for them (haha). Will absolutely rebook with Amanda for future drop in visits.”
“Stacy was great for drop in visits with my dog! He ooved having the kids join to play. Stacy is super communicative and shares great reports for every visit. I’ve used her before and will be a repeat customer whenever I need drop ins!”
“Taylor is fantastic! Taylor has been doing drop ins for my dogs and the pups have really enjoyed having Taylor come over and spend time with them! So grateful!”
“Jennifer is a very caring, considerate, and reliable dog walker. Our dog loves her and greets her with lots of affection, which she returns with lots of love. Also, we feel like our dog is very safe in her hands. During one visit, a swarm of bees attacked our pup and Jennifer immediately notified us, called our veterinarian, and brought Berlin to an ER. She stayed with us until he was ready to go home (he’s fine, but needed Benadryl). You can trust your fur baby with Jennifer!”
About: I currently help my daughter care for her dog, Paulo, and her three cats, Chocho, Frida, and Spooky. I walk Paulo at least twice a day and help with feeding, fresh water, medications, playtime, litter boxes, and their daily routines. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my family’s pets. I recently moved to the area and currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and other routines. I’m patient and attentive and will make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is that I have first hand experience with many types of dogs and cats. I’ve worked at a couple of daycares and I have my own animals that I care for deeply. I understand how a pet can be your child and I promise to care for them as I would my own. I’m very responsible, reliable, and I am very fast with responses. Please consider me when you want your pet properly cared for🫶 I currently stay at home for work and I am an artist! I care for my cats daily and can take on the extra responsibility of your animals too! I care for my own pets in many ways, I accommodate their needs and I also try to give them the best care possible! Accidents happen but I always keep the place clean!
About: I’m a dog and cat lover, an animal protectionist. I’ve been doing volunteer jobs in animal shelters for more than a decade. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and cats. They’re our families. I can take as many pictures or videos as you want when I’m taking care of your furry babies. My extensive volunteer experience ensures that I can give your babies a wonderful time. I work two days at home and three days in the office. My husband works from home. Your babe will never be home lonely. I’m very flexible in matching your schedule and requests. I have a dog and a cat. They’re my babies and best friends. We’re more than happy to welcome your baby to join us and have a happy time together during the time you’re away. There are three floors in my house. If your baby prefers to be by him or herself, we have enough space for that. I have a unfenced yard.
“Robin always goes above and beyond to take care of our babies. This was our 5th booking with her and our cat was a bit rambunctious, knocking over our legos and humidifier and throwing up every few days. Robin sent us many pictures daily to update us and kept our apartment clean and orderly throughout the week. We trust her fully and feel so at ease during our trips. She is the best pet sitter and deserves all the stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Extremely playful and engaging, great time to set the phone aside and play with natures best creation. While placed in my care it will be my only priority to provide the best for them and keep them safe at all times. They will be taken care of as kids, full attention will be on them. I no longer have dogs of my own because of certain circumstances, but I used to have two, your dogs will be taken care as if they were my own. Having the ability to do this will allow me to reconnect with the most precious animals on earth after some time. I can’t wait to meet all these precious pups and have an amazing journey with them thank you lots. I only work part time and have plenty of time in my schedule to go out and care for your pets and provide them with great quality care. I follow all rules and guidelines provided by the owner! Whether there’s a specific leash or harness that needs to be worn or a certain area of the house or yard we have to keep out of
“Natalia did a great job with our cats! She even went out of her way to scoop the litter and mist my two geckos during our vacation. I trust her with all my animals!”
“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! 🐾💕”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a huge love for them! I also have professional experience working in kennels, where I cared for dogs and cats with all different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while they’re in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love to get to know yours! 🐾💗 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and make sure they get the care and companionship they’re used to. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority! I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and again!”
“Katie is a fantastic sitter, she was easy to work with and really friendly. She cares deeply about animals and was quick to provided information and pictures during each visit. She also responds very quickly. Overall, I highly recommend her services and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.”

Great communication, kind to people and pets. We had to last minute change our trip dates due to a pet injury. Scotty was still able to accommodate us and took great care of our injured dog and two cats. His prompt communication, flexibility, and compassion towards our dog was much appreciated Thanks so much!
Julianne was a diligent, confident, and thoughtful dog sitter for my dog Terra. I felt completely at ease knowing Terra was being well taken care of. My dog can be fearful and reactive but Julianne was calm and professional, and Terra was safe and happy the whole time I was away! Will book Julianne again and highly recommend her service!
We continue to use Viviana for Murphy and couldn’t recommend her more! She is always so responsive, accommodating, and available whenever we need her, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about Murphy, and we always know she’s in great hands with her. Murphy loves staying with Viviana, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we trust so much to care for her. We’ll continue to book with her whenever we can!
I cannot recommend Hannah enough!! She went above and beyond for our pups! It was our first time having her watch the dogs and we will definitely be using her again. She made sure they were comfortable each visit and gave us plenty of pictures to see how they were doing. She gave detailed updates and even stayed longer to give them some extra loving. You will have peace of mind when she is watching your pets!!
Sweta saved us last minute by spending time with Sunny while we were in Alexandria. Sunny needs companionship and doesn't like to be alone, and Sweta spent time with him, gave him a walk and kept us updated. She's very responsive and helpful. Sunny seemed happy and we will definitely book with Sweta again. Thank you!
I had a great experience with Megan caring for my pets for the first time while I was away for eight days. She followed all of my instructions, took wonderful care of my animals, and communicated with me every day after her visits so I always knew how they were doing. There were a few mornings when she was running a little behind schedule, but she always communicated with me ahead of time, and on several occasions she stayed a little longer to make sure my pets received the care and attention they needed. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my animals. Knowing they were in good hands gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my pets again! Thank you
Leaving my dogs behind while out of town for six days was a first for me, so I was naturally pretty nervous going into the process. I interviewed several people before meeting Velkin in person. My girlfriend and I hosted her for a meet and greet, and her genuine, welcoming presence stood out immediately. There was nothing fake or performative about her. She has the kind of ground-level authenticity that puts you at ease right away. My Chihuahuas took to her immediately as well, which said everything. If you know anything about Chihuahuas, they do not warm up to strangers quickly, if at all. Hiring her was an easy decision, and she did not disappoint. She came by twice a day to handle feeding, water, outdoor time, and spending quality time with them. Beyond basic care, she treated my dogs like her own. I received regular photos and detailed updates after her visits, giving me complete peace of mind. I also felt totally comfortable giving her unfettered access to my home while I was away. On top of everything, she was remarkably flexible. When I came home a day early, she was gracious enough to modify the booking and remove that final day. Since she had reserved that slot for me, it would have been completely fair for her to charge for the full six days, so that gesture was unexpected and extremely kind. Velkin did a phenomenal job, and I have zero regrets about hiring her. She provides world class service, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I travel. Thanks again Velkin. You rock :) Jose, Stephanie, Lucy, & Waffles

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Franconia is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 15,017 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Franconia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
