âI'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.â
âChristine was so great and flexible with our senior pup. He had an unexpected health issue right before she left and she was great administering meds last minute and keeping us updated. Would highly recommend!â
âGabby is amazing and I would wholeheartedly recommend her! Gabby has been coming to spend time with our puppy every day (and she absolutely loves Gabby). Gabby is communicative and very helpful and I am looking forward to continuing working with her!â
âElysse did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very communicative and sent frequent updates, including photos and sweet little notes about how my cat was doing. It was so reassuring to know he was in good hands.â
âOlena took care of my kitties during two very busy weekends. I came home both weekends to kitties who were relaxed and happy. It is so nice that my kitties have a relationship with her now and they come out to visit with her when she is here.â
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 pets my whole life, and I've owned dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and birds, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and their different needs. My first job was at a doggy daycare, where I learned to read dog body language, manage playgroups of all sizes and energy levels, and keep every pup safe and happy. I also have some grooming experience, so I'm comfortable with handling, brushing, and spotting skin, coat, or paw issues early. Your pet will get attentive, experienced care every time! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for walks throughout the day, including midday visits when most owners are at work. Consistency matters to dogs, so I'm happy to keep the same time slot each day if that works best for your pup. To give you peace of mind, I follow your pet's usual routine and your specific instructions, whether that's a certain walk length, treats or praise when they do their business, or some quick snuggles before I head out. I always keep the weather in mind, so I'll shorten walks on very hot or cold days, check for hot pavement, and dry off muddy paws. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure and food and water are taken care of.
âAngela has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is reliable, always punctual, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. During every visit, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to see our cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. We truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. We would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.â
âCassie did an incredible job taking care of our three kitties. They absolutely loved her and loved hanging out with her, even though they are usually pretty shy around new people. She made sure that every evening they had their dinner, water, clean litter boxes and lots of love. We felt much more comfortable being away from them for a week knowing that Cassie was taking such good care of them. We came home to some pretty happy kitties, thanks to Cassie. We will definitely use her, again, next time we need someone to care for our fur babies.â
About: I have been training dogs for 7 years now and have self trained my service dog Max. I also have 4 years of vet assisting experience. I have lots of experience with puppies and kittens too! I currently work full time but local to Alexandria. I am off Tuesdayâs, Fridayâs, and Sundays. Available after 5 those remaining days during the week and after 4pm on Saturday. I have pet sat multiple pets in Virginia I have met wonderful families and pets that I have grown a bond with. I love and treat any animal I take care of like my own.
âAlyssa is absolutely amazing with Murphy! She has amazing availability and is incredibly responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a someone to watch their fur baby.â
About: Iâve been a dog lover and pet owner for years! I have a Labrador who Iâve card for since she was just 8 weeks old, so I have firsthand experience with everything from the puppy stage to caring for an adult dog. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and plenty of attention, and of course, lots of love. I have also helped care for my neighborâs dogs while they were away, including taking them on walks and making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every dog like I would my own and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pet is in caring and attentive hands. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Since Iâm home for much of the day, Iâm available for regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship. My schedule also gives me flexibility throughout the week, so I can easily work pet care into my routine and make sure each pet gets attention and care theyâre used to. My Lab, Holiday, is a very laid back girl, so Iâm used to letting dogs settle into a routine that works for their individual personality and energy level. She eats twice a day and gets about four walks throughout the day, with plenty of time to relax and nap in between. When sheâs awake and ready to play we spend lots of time together. Her personal version of fetch is seeing how many toys she can collect in her mouth at once, and she loves a good game of tug of war! I like to balance exercise, attention, and downtime, and Iâm happy to follow each petâs normal routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
âTara brought Connor and Sterling out of their shells very quickly. They are normally quite shy around new people, but they took to her at once. I had special dental needs for them both and she made sure they were attended to. It's always good to come back to happy, well-fed cats, and that is exactly what Tara made happen.â
âConstanza is a repeat sitter for us, and she continues to do an amazing job. Our super shy cat has warmed up to her so much he even meets her at the door now (unheard of for our skittish fellow). She sends great pics and updates and keeps the house so clean from our messy dude. Could not recommend her more.â

Great communication, kind to people and pets. We had to last minute change our trip dates due to a pet injury. Scotty was still able to accommodate us and took great care of our injured dog and two cats. His prompt communication, flexibility, and compassion towards our dog was much appreciated Thanks so much!
Jackie was a delight to work with, as always! When I had forgotten to confirm an important booking detail, Jackie reached out to proactively ensure she had all the necessary information and went above and beyond to make sure our cat got the care she needed on time. She also sends the sweetest photos, and our cat adores her.
Overall the best person I've found to watch my three cats so far! Very reliable and considerate with the times we agree on prior. Additionally, Debra has gone out of her way to make extra visits that were not requested simply because she was already nearby. Clearly loves animals. Very thankful for her help and fully recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their cats.
Julianne was a diligent, confident, and thoughtful dog sitter for my dog Terra. I felt completely at ease knowing Terra was being well taken care of. My dog can be fearful and reactive but Julianne was calm and professional, and Terra was safe and happy the whole time I was away! Will book Julianne again and highly recommend her service!
Daphne always goes above and beyond caring for my two cats during her visits. This time, she was an absolute saint. One of my cats needed two to three meds for an illness and was stressed out from the process. Daphne administered the meds twice a day, sent extra details, photos, and videos, and responded in real time to my questions. I am so grateful for the care she provided for my cats while I was away. She put my cats and me at ease during a stressful illness. I couldnât imagine better care.
We had a great meet and greet! Jenna was friendly, responsive, and clearly has a good understanding of cat behavior. She asked all the right questions and was thoughtful about learning Fifiâs routine and needs. I really appreciated her attention to detail and feel confident she will take great care of Fifi!
Rachel has been wonderful with my tuxedo cat on multiple sittings and has been a life saver on short notice. She followed exact instructions for feeding, play, and litter box clean up. Sheâs incredibly communicative with detailed notes, quick response times, and photos. She definitely provides a playful and carrying environment for my tuxedo. Her warmth and care of means I can come home to a happy, relaxed, albeit a bit chatty cat.
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 couldnât recommend her more! She is always so responsive, accommodating, and available whenever we need her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Itâs clear how much she genuinely cares about Murphy, and we always know sheâs in great hands with her. Murphy loves staying with Viviana, and weâre so grateful to have found someone we trust so much to care for her. Weâll 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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franconia is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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 petâs 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 November 2026, there are 15,504 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
