“Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Renee was very proactive about setting up the meet and greet and thorough in asking how to care for my kittens Vito and Legacy. She has a lot of experience with pets and cats of her own which put me at ease as well. She sent plenty of photos and a video a they clearly enjoyed playing with her. I came back to curious and healthy kittens and a clean home.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience. Hannah took great care of our pups during this latest NOVA heat wave keeping us up to date on what she was doing to make sure the dogs were both happy and healthy despite temps over 100 degrees! We already have her lined up for our next out of town trip!!!”
“Marie is amazing!!! My pets were thoughtfully taken care of and she provided me multiple updates and pictures while I was away! Would recommend and definitely will book again!”
“Dana was great. She sent regular updates and photos of my dogs. She took good care of them, including the medicine that they required while she was sitting with them. Highly recommend her.”
“This was our second time having Hieu and Anna stay with our two dogs. They communicate well, often, and with a great sense of humor. We would not hesitate to recommend them or book them again.”
“Veronica took great care of our pups and home while we were away! She provided regular updates and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. And she very graciously tidied up the house before she left. Our pups can be a handful, especially our puppy Leo who is very energetic and mouthy. But Veronica took it all in stride and was very patient with them. We returned to three very happy pups! We will definitely be booking with Veronica again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jeannie is wonderful. She provides great communication and is super clean. My pups love her which helps me feel at ease when I have to travel. Thank you for all you do Jeannie!”
“Kelley was a thoughtful and caring dogsitter for our 12 year old dog. She sent us daily updates, comforted him during summer thunderstorms and genuinely cared about him while we were gone. We were anxious to leave him and are so happy to have found Kelley!”
About: I have a strong and genuine love for dogs, cats, pigs, birds, hamsters, you name it, i LOVE it. I am responsible & trustworthy, I will treat your pet like it is my own. I am calm & have lots of patience when it comes to animals, it is truly my passion. I worked at 2 different doggy day cares and that is where I fell in love with working with dogs, I now work for a professional pet care company and absolutely love it. My pet care experience has thought me the importance of being patient, responsible, and compassionate when it comes to caring for animals :) I am currently working part time with a professional pet care company from Monday- Friday. I am a college student and I go around my class times and settle with my schedule from there. I unfortunately don’t do recurring services at the moment. Trust is my biggest priority, I think it is very important that my client gets to know me and build that important trust. Pets are apart of your family, and having someone you can trust with their care is very important!
“Jenna took such great care of my dog Polly! Great communication, regular photo updates, and she left the house nice and tidy too. Would highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Amazing pet sitter that put us at ease from the first meet & greet. Eric was very punctual and listened to all our needs and followed our instructions with precision. Our dogs were happy and with the youngest being usually timid around new people. Eric took care to make them feel comfortable and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Would highly recommend!”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She wanted to know all the details of how to take best care of them. The house was pristine and the animals very happy on our return. We highly recommend her.”

Svitlana was great talking care of our house, plants, one dog and one cat. Things went really well overall, just a few little miscommunications but some of those were 100% our fault. Everything was left super clean, and she managed medications for both pets as necessary. Would definitely book her again if schedules align.
To say that Dynjandi enjoyed his time with Hieu and Anna is an understatement! He was so sad when his aunties left. I received pictures multiple times throughout the day and a summary of the day every day that I was gone. It was so nice to see that he was being so well taken care of and gave me such great peace of mind. Thank you!
McKenna is amazing. I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want others to get in the way of me having access to her when I need her! She's amazing with my dog and so attentive to keeping my house just like she found it. Sometimes cleaner! I will always attempt to book her first whenever I have needs for dog sitting.
Natalia was absolutely wonderful. She housesat for us and watched our three pets last minute over a holiday weekend and I couldn’t recommend her enough. The pets seemed to have a blast and looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! She communicated multiple times a day, left the house cleaner than she found it, and gave us peace of mind during our vacation. She is amazing!
Outstanding care for our two boys. Dana took care to make sure our dog’s schedules were not disrupted and made sure they had plenty of love and cuddles. Dana was very communicative and kept me updated on walks, scheduled activities and if there was anything she wanted to double check on she asked. I would highly recommend here for pet sitting and for walks.
This was our first time leaving our little dog, Artie, with a Rover house sitter, and Eric was outstanding. We were so grateful for his responsiveness, reliability, thoughtfulness, experience, and understanding. Our flight home was delayed and Eric even stayed quite a bit later than expected to make sure the handoff went smoothly for our anxious dog. He was great administering Artie's medication, adjusted easily to his walking and picky eating needs, and kept in good regular contact. Highly recommend him and look forward to booking him again. Thanks Eric!

FAQs for House Sitting - Franconia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franconia on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,824 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
