“Sarah took wonderful care of our cats- she sent detailed updates each day, and helped resolve a couple issues that popped up during the course of our booking (looking at you, automatic cat feeder)! I’d highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter.”

“We’ve had Elysse visit with our cats a few times. We like that even the reclusive one likes to hang out with her. And she’s good at giving the other cat his meds. Leaving senior cats makes me nervous but the reports and pics Elysse sends really help.”

About: I have 13 years of experience, caring for dogs and cats. I owned and cared for my German Shepherd dog for a wonderful 13 years before she passed away. I love dogs of all sizes and I feel comfortable around all breeds. I am a former finance professional who left corporate and I am now retired early. I would love to walk your dog or take care of your pet. I am retired and my days are very open to take care of your pet. My main goal is to spend time with your pet and take them for a walks. I cannot have pets of my own because my husband is allergic to everything furry. I cannot care for pets in my own home, but I am happy to care for them in your home. I will play with your dog, take them for a walk, feed them, administer medication, and spend time with them. Most dogs love me and I am comfortable around any breed including German Shepherd, Doberman, Boxer, etc.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and I’ve had my own dog, Koa, since she was a puppy. Raising and training Koa has given me hands-on experience with puppy care, basic training, routines, socialization, and understanding a dog’s individual personality and needs. I’m excited to welcome new pups into my home and give them the same patience, attention, and care I give my own dogs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines and take the time to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and lots of love! I’m available for boarding on weekends and select weekdays, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. I’m also comfortable providing regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, some training and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who are used to being around other dogs. I provide a clean, comfortable, and supervised home environment where pets can relax and feel safe. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walking, and medication routines, and I can provide a crate or separate space when needed.

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.

About: Ever since my family got our first dog I have fallen in love with taking care of animals. I have taken care of my pet, friends and family’s pets, and recently even worked at a doggy daycare and hotel! I am looking to be independent with my business and have a better schedule so that I can focus on my vet school. I have taken care of animals without teeth, with pills, with funky weird behaviors, with asthma, etc. I am still working and going to school, but I am hoping to make the transition into Rover. Unfortunately my work schedule is inconsistent and doesn’t communicate in advance, but I will always try my best. Just reach out if unsure and I can set something up with you! I am so used to making sure that everything is as safe as possible. I am trained in dog scuffles, behaviors, and work a job where I am constantly cleaning up and making sure everyone is safe and clean. I am on my phone alot and take TONS of photos, so I will always be able to tell a story and send a photo of your baby(s).

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

I simply can’t say enough positive things about Rachel. She is wonderful with my cat and goes above and beyond. She brought in my mail. She watered my plants. She ran the dishwasher. My cat thrived under her care. Rachel gave us detailed updates on my cat’s health and well being. I couldn’t ask for better. I wish there were more cat sitters like her. If you are lucky enough to have her cat/pet sit for you, consider yourself most fortunate.

Abel checked in on our cat, Boushy, while we were out of town. He was really easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our Boushy. He also shared very cute pictures with us and we could tell that our cat really liked him. Will absolutely be asking Abel to check in on Boushy again in the future! 😊

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Franconia on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 15,621 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franconia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Franconia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franconia. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
