“I'm so happy I found Carrington! She gave detailed updates every day and I felt confident that Ollie was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I used to work at Felix and Oscar so if you need any food recommendations, i’m your girl! I also have walked dogs for about 2 years as well as overnight care and drop ins. I just graduated from James Madison University and I am working a part time job so I am available to work mornings and afternoons as well! I have a 1 year old puppy and I take care of him as well as train him. We play, I give treats, and many walks! I also had a puppy throughout all my childhood and he lived to be 16 years old, so i have experience with senior dogs.
“Samantha was great. She made sure to update me about the status of my Senior Pup and sent me pics of him. Tyson was in great hands in the care of Samantha. Looking forward to future visits, definitely would book! Thanks again Samantha ☺️”
“Lucy was fantastic with my 3 dogs! I had her do a 30 min check-in mid day while I was at work, and she kept in touch with me while at the house, played with my kiddos and sent me pictures. The dogs loooove her! I will definitely book more time with Lucy for my dogs!”
“Nicole was great. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and Nicole to the time to come meet her prior to me leaving. Although my dog was too nervous to let her walk her she was patient and professional and still ensured my dog was able to go outside to go to the bathroom. And she worked on making my dog more comfortable. Highly recommended!”
“Absolutely the best! I forgot to make arrangements for my cats before a work trip and she saw me the same morning I reached out to her and sent pics. She helped with our mail and packages and my plants. A blessing to our household! Thanks so much Taryn!”
“I requested Olena’s drop in visit again. Bijou had fun long walk. Olena was promptly on time. She stayed longer time because my dog wanted to play, fed her and took care of her. Olena is great in her communication with dogs!”
“Miranda was very sweet and attentive to my cats, even when they were being difficult and needed to be separated! She gave videos and photos and was very professional!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbours since I was 10 years old. Although I own only cats, due to my Mother’s culture and religion I was never able to have a dog of my own. Recently I am trying my best to earn extra cash. I can promise you I am a reliable caretaker and lover of all living things. What’s sets me apart from other sitters is I provide a personalised service. I am available for anything and anything related to your furry babies❤️ I’m currently blessed with a flexible lifestyle and have all the free time in the world! I can work anytime or any day of the week whether it’s feeding, playing, walking or sitting. Both my cats are indoor cats and they do not roam around on the streets. My cats are my most precious babies and they are treated as such!
“Cassie was awesome! I loved the way she took pictures of not only my cat but also playing with him and his litter box. She also followed my instructions to a T. I appreciate her taking care of my cat baby!”
“Zach was really great! Harry loved him immediately. Zach was completely reliable, and he was both kind and very flexible when our plans unexpectedly changed. He will be my first choice any time we need dogwalking/sitting help!”
“We are so happy to have had Becca taking care of our cat, Pumpkin, for 4 weeks. Becca was loving and attentive, always coming up with different games to entertain Pumpkin. She is also great at communicating updates and sending pictures at every visit. We are thankful to come back home to a happy and well taken care cat.”
“Shelby is great!! She is communicative and lets us know all the details of her visit with our baby. We also love the pictures - never can get enough! We highly recommend Shelby!”
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: After 20 years of personal pet ownership (cats and dogs), and full-time Federal employment in public safety, I have transitioned from over a decade of part-time professional pet care to full-time... and I wouldn't have it any other way. :-) Pet CPR and First Aid, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteer, and in progress with Rovers certification program. Dog walking and pet care is my 24/7. Typically, I have built in walks scheduled between 10AM-2PM Monday through Friday, however, this varies depending on holidays, school scheduling, etc. Care expectations are discussed and clearly laid out prior to booking service. The number one rule for my home is CALM. There are two rooms fully dedicated to pet care where the set up is modified as needed for each client. There is a dog friendly orange tabby cat in the home that has his own separate room and space and does not interact with pet sitting clients.
About: My experience comes from years of being around and caring for pets belonging to family and close friends. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing so I definitely understand how important it is for your fur babies to feel loved, safe, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Pets are family too and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care and attention. I also have close family and friends connected to the military, so I understand how unpredictable and demanding military life can be. Long workdays and changing schedules can make having reliable pet care especially important. I want to be someone you can count on when life gets busy or plans change. Whether you’re fur baby needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply someone trustworthy to check in on them, I’m happy to help. I’m great at following instructions and paying attention to the little things that make each pet unique. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, affection, and quality care while making your time away easier and giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My main daily commitment is making sure my two kids get on and off the school bus safely and on time, which means I have flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop ins, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. For walks and drop ins, I focus on making each visit fun, safe, and engaging while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience comfortable for both you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franconia
Erin was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, followed all care instructions, and clearly has a great understanding of cat behavior. As any cat parent knows, not all sitters understand the importance of letting cats approach on their own terms, but Erin absolutely does. My cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot! I highly recommend Erin and would happily book with her again.
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!!
If you need a catsitter, make sure it's Jackie! She came highly recommended by another repeat client whom I know personally. I get anxious leaving my "velcro kitty" alone, but from the moment I met Jackie I knew my girl was in good hands. Jackie sent thoughtful updates with the sweetest photos. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat, and we're incredibly grateful! But don't just take my word, trust my cat's review. She crawled into Jackie's lap during her very first visit and parked there for each subsequent visit!
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!
When I had to add a day of travel unexpectedly, Julie was extremely flexible and made sure that my Layla still got the care she needed! It helps that Layla just LOVES getting pets and playing with Julie— I am so grateful for her and will continue to use her as often as I can!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franconia is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 15,510 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
