“Renee was extremely attentive, caring, and thoughtful with our crew! She even managed to get some liquid meds in our old grumpy cat without much fuss! She is very responsive and we felt great on vacation knowing they were in such capable hands.”
“Lauren is a very caring dog sitter; our dogs were well taken looked after. We were kept up to date with all the great pics that Lauren shared with us while we were away. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone needing someone to stay with your pet/S.”
“Hieu and Anna are AMAZING! I felt so completely comfortable, leaving them with my fur babies and leaving my Home entrusted to their care. They are wonderfully responsible, kind, and reliable. They sent daily updates and pictures of our pet’s antics. I can’t wait until we can rebook them again for our out of town visits.”
“We sure enjoyed having Elvia keeping our little guy. She did an awesome job. Elvis kept us informed, responsible, on time and took wonderful care of our little guy. We look forward to using her again.”
“They took excellent care of my home and our small dog. I loved the frequent videos and commentary on him. They definitely gave me peace of mind while traveling.”
“Michelle was really great. She was prompt and clear when communicating with me. She sent pictures and updates through out each day. Most importantly she was understanding and patient with ME as I explain in detail a lot of what my dogs need. I have a 13 yo and a 13 month old, both labs and each comes with some very specific handling needs especially around feeding and walking and Michelle was open to letting me communicate these needs. Her care and attention to the dogs' needs helped me relax on our vacation. I will definitely be asking her again to stay with the dogs. Thanks Michelle”
“I can always trust Jeannie to take such great care of my fur babies! I am always so thankful to have peace of mind when having to leave my babies. Thank you for all you do Jeannie!”
“We booked a 9-day house sitting stay with Draven and Zack to take care of our Golden Retriever, Darwin. Before the stay, they agreed to a meet and greet and took the time to ask detailed questions about Darwin's routine, schedule, and where everything was located. Darwin seemed comfortable with them right away, which was important to us. During the stay, they were responsive when we reached out and sent photos showing Darwin looking relaxed and comfortable. We did have to prompt them for updates a few times, as they occasionally forgot to send them despite our request for regular communication. When we returned home, Darwin appeared happy, healthy, and well cared for. He clearly enjoyed being able to stay in his own home environment. The house was generally left in good condition. There were a few minor issues that arose during the stay, some of which the sitters brought to our attention while we were away. Overall, Darwin was safe, cared for, and comfortable while we were away.”
“Jeana held down the fort staying at our house while taking care of our two dogs and two cats for 12 days. Our pets are a handful and Jeana took care of all their needs. We felt comfortable knowing our home and pets were left in good hands. I would recommend Jeana to anyone for daily walks as well as extended care. Thank you Jeana!!!”
“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs. It really made us feel that our dogs were in good hands and being well taken care of. Would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend.”
“Holly was amazing and a life saver. She responded so quickly when we needed last minute help and kept us updated the whole time. Plus our house was impeccable when we arrived. We’re truly thankful and highly recommend her!”
“Lindsey provided the best care for Mizu. She gave me daily updates and whenever I needed a little update. She followed instructions with feeding and administering medications. Mizu was in the best care. Will definitely have her watch him again when I am away.”
“Alexis is your one-stop-shop for pet needs. Our dog Nala needed a sitter relatively last minute and Alexis was there for us. She is attentive, engaged, and shows the utmost care and respect. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Alexis provides the gold standard of care and you and your furry friend can rest assured your experience will be nothing but amazing”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”

Rei did a great job with our German Shepherd McKinley. She stayed at our house with the dog for about 5 days and sent us plenty of updates while we were away. Our pup is getting older and takes a couple of medications and supplements, which Rei very carefully administered. Our dog was super calm and happy when we got home and the house was in great shape-- Rei had totally cleaned up after herself. We would happily book her again in the future!
I highly recommend this team! Heiu and Anna were lifesaver when I wasn't able to take my dog on vacation with me at the last minute. They eased all my concern about leaving a young puppy with strangers, I was well informed with all the my puppies activities and daily adventures while I was gone. They treated my fur baby as if she was their own. They are highly sought after with a full schedule, but I will use them again in a heartbeat.
Tatiana took amazing care of Knox. He is a puppy and this was my first time leaving him at just 4 mos old. I had to attend a family wedding and I was able to go and fully enjoy myself knowing Knox was in good hands. Tatiana sent photos and updates multiple times a day and took Knox on many walks and played with him. I think he was a little disappointed when I came home😂 I highly Tatiana as she is a true animal lover and will leave your home tidy upon your return!
Eric took great care of our pups while we were out of town. He was very attuned to how our dogs were feeling, especially our nervous girl, and worked to make them comfortable. He’s very organized and really cares about the dogs he’s caring for. Eric was also understanding of some maintenance issues at our apartment and gracious enough to work around it. Highly recommend!
Isabela is an absolute five-star pet sitter! From start to finish, her communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, keeping me updated with regular photos and notes throughout the stay. Her genuine compassion and gentle approach with the dogs gave me complete peace of mind while away, and her professionalism was evident in how respectfully and responsibly she cared for both my pets and my home. I returned to happy, relaxed pups and everything in perfect order. I cannot recommend Isabela highly enough and will definitely be booking with her again!
Auntie Angie as we call her is an outstanding dog sitter. We cannot give her enough praise. She stayed in our home for a three night stay with our crazy fun sweet 9 yo Boston Terrier Buster whom has really bad separation anxiety. But because Auntie Angie is so good at pup sitting and her love toward animals Buster did great while we were away. Buster loves Auntie too!! Which is one big thing we look at when we do a meet and greet. She kept us up to date each day. Sent pictures often and let us know how he was doing. If we reached out she immediately responded as to how he was doing and with pictures. Would highly recommend Auntie Angie to everyone. We will definitely be booking Auntie Angje again when we need to go out of town. Thank you again Auntie Angie. We look forward to working with again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Franconia is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $100 per night. 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.

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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Franconia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Franconia 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.
Tip: 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!
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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franconia. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
