“Stephen was fantastic! It was my first time having someone unrelated to the family care for our pup, I was a bit apprehensive. But Stephen quickly put me at ease with his attentiveness and genuine care for Charlie during our time away. Multiple photos, videos and updates during the day, very responsive, and most importantly a happy loved pup!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I've worked with puppies before, taking them on walks and reinforcing the basic training their families were already working on to help build a strong foundation. I'm patient, dependable, and happy to follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I'm committed to making them feel safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as early mornings and late evenings to accommodate your pet's routine. While I'm not able to provide overnight stays because I have a cat of my own at home, I'm happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet's needs. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I'm committed to providing reliable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by sticking to their normal routine. I follow owners instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special care your pet requires. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment so they stay happy while their family is away. Although I'm not currently offering pet care in my own home because I have a cat, Bear, I treat every client's home with the same respect and care that I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands.
“We’ve been using shannon consistently for the last month and she has been wonderful. We have an anxious big 70lb girl and she absolutely adores her!!! Highly recommend using shannon for your babies!”
“Tina went above and beyond for our pup. She was caring and attentive to our dog’s needs and was willing to engage with our dog on her terms. They became fast friends and I can’t recommend Tina more.”
About: Hi and thanks for visiting my profile! I've had dogs around me since I was a small child. My own dog, Nemo is 11 years old shitzu and I've had him since he was 6 weeks old so I know how important and loved dogs are to their parents. I will ensure your dog walking and sitting experience starts and ends with lots of fresh water and hugs. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby to ensure I am the BEST fit for both of you. It is so important that your dog trusts me to provide him/her with a positive and upbeat experience each and every time. Feel free to reach out to me about additional services such as meal preparation, and administering medication. Thanks again for visiting my profile!
“Doreen was an amazing sitter for Sadie! She updated me with a lot of pictures, videos, and description of her visit every day. She is very communicative and it’s obvious she loves animals. I’m so happy to have met her and completely trust her taking care of Sadie. 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. I’ve had 1 bird, 1 ferret, 5 cats, and 6 dogs. I’ve trained 2 Dogs to obey basic commands and good potty habits. Im available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. I work from home on Friday and I don’t work the weekends at all. I can also be flexible during week days as needed. I take my dogs for walks every 3 hours or at their request. We play fetch and tug-o-war in my backyard. My basement is a complete doggy daycare.
“Nicole was absolutely great with the two bigs doggos that can be a handful. Super informative and responsive. Will be booking Nicole again! Definitely recommend if you’d like to feel at ease while away.”
About: My first dog came to my family when I was 3, I had a very strong connection to my dog. After her we had a puppy, and after him we have two cats as of now. I know how to bath gently, I understand how senior animals need extra time and care. I’m used to giving medication if needed. I’m working two jobs part time but I still have Monday completely open and Wednesday after 12pm free along with Saturday early afternoons. I’m looking for a few extra bucks to pay some bills. My cats have free range of my house, and they do go outside, I keep them company in the mornings and always love to greet them and tell them goodnight.
“Another fabulous sitting job by Heather. She goes the extra mile to try and play/socialize with my skiddish, shy kitties, always letting them take the lead. The daily updates and photos really make time away more enjoyable. Heather is definitely the person you want caring for your pets when you can’t. Thanks again Heather”
About: I have over 25 years of pet care experience with my own pets, and I walk dogs at the Humane Society on Saturdays & was trained by their incredible staff in basic dog training techniques in 2024. In addition to dogs & cats, I have owned and cared for guinea pigs, a chinchilla, rabbits, chickens, chameleon, and iguana! I would love to care for your pet(s) and help give you some peace of mind while you're away. I would love to walk your dog(s), and/or care for your pet(s), on Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fri & Sun anytime between 6:00 am- 7:30 am, as well as between 3:30 pm - 8:00 pm. I am willing to travel to the following towns: Lebanon, Colchester, Waterford, New London, Norwich, Bozrah, Colombia, Windham, Franklin, Salem, Lisbon, Montville, and other surrounding Towns (depending on mileage). I am also available Saturday mornings when booked in advance. I care for my two cats at home, they are rescue and special needs. I administer medications, food, ensure they are groomed appropriately to avoid any matting, and spend lots of fun play time with them! I make sure they get proper nutrition and stimulation throughout the day. We love our cats! I will treat your animals as if they are my own, because each little animal being deserves specialized care & attention, just like their human counterparts!
About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing going with the dog and its individual needs
About: I am an avid dog lover who has had a dog for over 30 years. I love all different breeds of dogs, and currently have a Maltese, Bichon, and and a Shitzu. I also am a Certified Vet Assistant, and love being with all animal types. I live on a small farm and recently opened my own pet sitting business because of my love and knowledge of animals. If you need somebody reliable , loving, and vet certified I am the person you need.When you cant be there for your pet I Will. Safety, trust and love. Exercise, playing, and walking a must. Being respectful and having pet insurance, helps the customer be at ease. Care, love and dog communication at its best. Constantly paying great attention to whichever client is in my home along with some space, and getting the animal adjusted to a new setting. Having the pet be comfortable with the new surroundings is vitally important.
About: Hi All!! I have personal and professional pet care experience! Not only have I had the pleasure of owning a variety of my own animals (dogs, cats and small animals such as chinchillas) I also have spent many hours volunteering at the humane society preforming all different types of animal care for whatever was assigned to me! I love learning and expanding my knowledge of animals regarding different behavior types based on breeds and I think working with Rover will provide me a fun experience and help me do that! My availability is semi-flexible depending on the location of your home, as I do work Mon-Friday at Backus Hospital. In my own personal free time, I enjoy staying active and traveling with my friends, but I also enjoy staying in with a glass of wine and a good book! I currently work full time at Backus Hospital, do depending on location of your home, I could provide a mid day potty break! Unfortunately, anything outside of the Norwich area, makes mid day check ins challenging. I have one chunky orange cat named Murphy! He roams the house freely but is mostly found on the back of the couch! I have a lot of experience with free roaming pets, crated dogs, and other small caged animals and have the space to house them!
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who graduated from Becker College in 2021. My passion for animals is my drive. I currently work at a non-profit veterinary clinic with low-income cost options. I truly feel like I am doing a great thing! Because I’ve been a technician for 5 years, medications etc. are no issue! I also have experience with training! I am a veterinary technician who works 4 days a week so I’m always looking for more animals to fill my other three days of downtime with! I choose to make pet care fit, because it’s my passion. I want owners to be able to vacation worry free! I care for pets in clients homes the way I am asked to. For example, if you ask for your dog to be crated, I will make sure that is done before heading out. The same goes for mealtimes and medication times. I work with the dog’s personality in it’s preferred environment.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Franklin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Franklin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
