“We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.”


About: I have been a pet owner since I entered the world. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I do have two cats. As of now, most of my pet-sitting jobs have been for close family friends. I am just starting on my Rover journey. I am a college student who is looking to help pay for my college expenses. I'm only offering Friday-Sunday right now since I will be working during the week and don't have a flexible schedule. On the weekends, your dogs will have my full attention :) I do not provide care in my own home. I will work with you to ensure that your pet feels safe with me while I am in their space.
About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.
About: I love animals and being able to assist people. I had two cotton de tulears growing up and have watched and cared for my friends chihuahua whenever she vacations. I am working a part time job with flexible hours and sometimes I also do work remotely so I can work with your schedule as much as time allows and with knowledge ahead of time. The way that I take care of houses and pets is the same because I do both based off of your instruction. I know that routine is important and I think where I really strive is listening to your wishes and communicating.

“We had a truly wonderful experience with Wendy and AJ taking care of our three pups in our home. They were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and professional—paying close attention to every detail and making sure our pups felt comfortable and loved the entire time. It was clear they treated our dogs as if they were their own. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Wendy and AJ to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and top-notch pet sitters. We will absolutely be booking with them again! Many thanks for the wonderful experience, for us as well as our babies”

“Noel did a great job taking care of Daphne making my trip possible. Very good with communicating and pictures. Kept her busy with games and walks. Hoping she will be available for future stays!”

“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”

About: I have lived my entire life with and around dogs and i even have experience fostering dogs as well as volunteering at the animal shelter I currently do not have a job so I am able spend time with and care for your pet at any hour of the day. I can easily crate and clean up after your pet if necessary. My home has a sound wall and I currently have no other pets.
“Kept us up to date regularly with how the dogs were doing. Very kind and gentle. Our female had surgery just a couple of days prior to our trip and she took great care of her and followed all discharge instructions as provided. She was very patient with our boy. He tends to not like strangers and they did great! Would definitely recommend her!”

“Claudia has been dependable and flexible for daily drop-ins and walks with my precious furbaby. My pup took to her from day 1! She has a great ability to make her anxiety melt away enough to get much needed rest yet excited enough to run. Claudia is super attentive and provides excellent communication. You are so appreciated Claudia!”

About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet lover with 9 years of hands-on pet care experience. I raised my female Pit Bull Terrier from the time she was just 2 months old and cared for her throughout every stage of her life. During that time, I provided daily care, companionship, and basic training, teaching her commands such as sit, shake, lay down, high five, and dance. I recently lost her, which has only strengthened my love and respect for animals. I would be honored to provide attentive, patient, and loving care while helping train and enrich your pet’s daily routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I currently work nights, which gives me full availability during the day to provide attentive pet sitting in my home or yours. I truly enjoy starting my mornings and afternoons with walks or jogs, making it easy for me to give pets consistent exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet would receive plenty of attention, activity, and a calm, structured daytime routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have a secure cement backyard and a pool that is closely monitored to ensure a safe environment at all times. I also live extremely close to a park with a large open field, perfect for supervised walks, exercise, and play. Inside, my home is spacious and pet-friendly, allowing pets to freely roam, relax, and feel comfortable in a safe, trusted environment that makes them feel at home!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little but now I have the medical experience to back me up as I am finishing veterinary school. Who else would you want to take care of your pets while you are away? I am available M-S. It just depends. We can work out the details which we can do one on one to see how many times a day and how long of a duration. As a veterinary student, animal safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and clean environment. I closely follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, medication, and routines, and I’m comfortable recognizing and responding to signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and aim to keep pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routines. In my own home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed, with no access to harmful items or unsafe areas. I always supervise interactions between animals and monitor behavior closely. With my background in veterinary medicine, I bring an extra layer of knowledge and awareness to ensure every pet is safe, healthy, and happy under my care.

“I reached out to Pedro as our dog has some leash aggression issues and needs an experienced hand on his walks. Our dog immediately warmed up to Pedro and left us comfortable going away on a vacation. Pedro was great with our dog and sent updates with each walk as well as some great photos of our dog. We get pretty nervous when leaving our dog as he takes some work but Pedro made us feel comfortable the whole time that our boy was being properly taken care of. 10/10 will use again, and so should you!”

About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
I almost don’t want to leave this review so that we can have Marissa for ourselves! We have ALOT going on with our old girls health and leaving her with a sitter really made us nervous but we had to for a family event last minute. Marissa was so amazing with our girls. Our older girl stopped walking a week ago due to vestibular issue but when Marissa came back the second day, she tried to walk to the door to greet her. I think that’s all the review she needs. We will definitely be calling her back for future sittings. Thank you for being so kind and loving our babies while we were out!

Sarah is incredible and if you have the chance to book her, you will not regret it! She’s beyond reliable and absolutely understands pets and pet care. I’ve never felt as confident with a pet sitter as I do with her. Whether it’s house sitting or drop-ins, she goes above and beyond. If you’re wondering if she’s the right fit— just book it! You won’t find better!

I can’t say enough good things about Marina. She is so sweet and incredibly responsive. She was always quick to reply and updated me throughout the day with messages and adorable pictures of Shiloh. Shiloh had an accident during the visit, and Marina was so kind and understanding and took care of cleaning it up without any issues at all (which I truly appreciated 🥺) Marina was also right on time despite having a very early start time, which really showed her reliability. I felt completely at ease knowing Shiloh was in such caring hands. Highly, highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!

We had such a great experience with Athena while we were away on our family trip. She was incredibly reliable and took amazing care of both our dogs and our home. She kept the house clean, made sure the dogs were walked regularly,even in cold weather, and went above and beyond by cleaning up the backyard. Our dogs clearly enjoyed having her around, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. It’s not easy to trust someone with your home and pets, but she exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!

Annamarie was wonderful with our pets. She communicated very well with what she needed to give them the best care and asked lots of great questions to get to know their personalities. She loved on them the entire time she was there and they were all super happy and well taken care of. She goes above & beyond and we'll gladly book again when we need a sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Franklin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franklin on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,867 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Franklin. 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 Franklin 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 Franklin 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 Franklin 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
