“She's amazing. Very punctual and professional. Got along great with my dog, and took excellent care of my pet and my living space (including some cleaning!) 10/10 couldn't recommend more strongly.”
“I really don’t trust any dog sitter like I trust Ray to take care of our dog. He’s a great boy, but doesn’t want pets and snuggles all the time and Ray is happy to let him just be him. It’s actually so hard to find! Ray left our house clean and well looked after. Will definitely keep going back to Ray!”
“This was our first experience using Rover for housesitting and Hannah set the bar high! We came home to a clean home & a very happy pup. Hannah communicated very well and sent fun updates and photos throughout the week. We look forward to having her back. Thank you, Hannah!”
“We’re absolutely thrilled to share our experience with Anna and Hieu—they truly went above and beyond for our pets. We hadn’t traveled without our dogs in quite a while, and finding caring, gentle people to look after them was a top priority for both of us. We’re overjoyed to say that Anna and Hieu exceeded every expectation. Our two beloved dogs each have their own personalities—one is outgoing and social, while the other is a bit more reserved and needs extra patience to feel comfortable. Without hesitation, Anna and Hieu gave our timid pup the extra care he needed, making sure he felt safe and loved. We both agree that he’s now completely smitten with them! Throughout our time away, Anna and Hieu kept us updated with thoughtful summaries and the cutest pictures of our dogs. When we returned, it was clear our boys were relaxed and content—it honestly felt as if we hadn’t been gone at all. The peace of mind they provided was priceless; it felt like angels were watching over our family. We can’t thank Anna and Hieu enough for their incredible care and attention to every detail. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for the absolute best care for both their pets and home!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies! I am so grateful for your attention to detail, thorough communication and picture updates! Highly recommend Jeannie and will rebook ❤️”
“Zach was really kind and flexible. We knew our pups liked him right away by them immediately bringing toys to him to play, they don't always do that. Thank you Zach, you really put us at ease knowing that our pups were in good hands.”
“Veronica and her daughter are both amazing- so responsive and I feel comfortable with them taking care of both my beloved dogs. I have already texted friends highly recommending!!”
“Deloris is amazing. My dog instantly loved her during their Meet & Greet and fell more in love during her stay. Deloris took great care of my girl (and house 🙂). She checked in, sent pictures and videos. I will definitely be using her services again! 😊”
“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”
“Jenny was ver detailed, responsible, flexible, and communicative. Most importantly, she gave me a HUGE peace of mind because she paid attention to my three cats and cuddled and played with them. I felt secure and comfortable knowing she was there while I was traveling domestically and abroad. Really hope to use Jenny frequently! Highly recommend!!!”
“My basset hounds had another lovely stay with Tatiana! They love her and are looking forward to her next visit! It is great to know the dogs are in such great care while we are gone!”
“Joshua was very communicative and sent lots of pics updating me on my 2 pups days. He was available last minute during a holiday and was very easy to coordinate with. He was super sweet with my pups, even the old grouchy one liked him.”
“Tara did a great job staying at our house over the weekend and taking care of our dog (Penzey) and our three cats (Spot, Dusty, and Oboe). The house was as we left it, and the animals were all well cared for. Tara did a great job communicating with us. We will definitely use her again.”
“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franconia
I'm so happy to find McKenna. I had a last-minute overnight trip and needed someone to stay with my dog. Several days before the trip, she came over and got to know my dog and the house, and we decided to move forward. Everything worked out amazing. She left the house in pristine condition and my dog was very calm when I got home. She gave great updates and I will definitely use her again in the future..
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.
Scotty did a great job caring for our larger dogs! Before house sitting, he came over for a meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions about their care instructions. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Looking forward to working with Scotty again in the future!
Having Haley watch my cat, Q'Raka, was was a great experience. She was responsive and provided great updates while checking in on kitty. She was also attentive to care instructions and bonded quickly with my little girl making her feel loved while I was away. I recommed her and plan on reaching out to her again if I need to have a sitter for Q'Raka.
Kari really me helped me feel at ease going away for a few days without knowing how my newly adopted pup with separation anxiety would react. Turns out Kari is a dog whisperer and Belle did great in her care! Kari was communicative in how things were going and she was very observant and thoughtful in understanding and proposing what Belle might need or like. Thank you Kari for being so kind and attentive with Belle and all of us as a family!
Veronica is amazing!!!! I was recently overseas for a vacation and was gone for 12 nights— the longest I have been away from my boy, Crosby. Veronica was SO understanding and patient with me— she knew I was anxious and did everything possible to calm my nerves. Her communication with me was great - she sent lots of videos and photos and kept Crosby’s routine. She also took Crosby with her where/ when she could - to reduce his time alone. I arrived home to clean laundry and a happy dog! I trust Veronica completely and highly, hoghly recommend her!!!
Natalia was available on relatively short notice over a holiday weekend. She took the time to read all of our instructions and kept our quiet, calm, and shy dog company while house sitting. She left our home clean, washed any dishes she used, and was a very considerate. We really appreciated her care and would use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Franconia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franconia on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,912 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Franconia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
