House Sitting in Franklin

About: I volunteered so much the guy who ran the shelter told me I need more human friends 😅😂 I jog twice a day, once in the morning and right before sunset, and would love to bring your furry friend along with me! I don’t have my own pets so your dog will have all of my attention. Volunteering at an animal shelter for 5 years taught me so much about different breeds. The main thing I learned is that every dog is just as unique as every human. Their like kids, you need to earn their trust and when you do it’s super rewarding. Message me with ANY questions I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. So our required meet and greet can be at your earliest convenience and will only take 5-15 minutes.

“Amazing dog sitters, they ensured that we had plenty of updates and pictures of the dog while we were out of town! Spent lots of time and did an amazing job ensure the dogs backed comfortable with them! 10/10 will be booking them again!!”

“We were very happy with Palma and would not hesitate to use her services again. Our two German shepherds were calm and content after we returned a few nights later. She left the house atleast as clean as she found it (maybe cleaner).”

About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

“Ethan was a fantastic sitter! He was responsive, absorbed everything during our initial visit, and managed our pups, chickens, and gardens without a hitch. Would book again!”

About: Hello my name is Sophia! I have been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, not just cats and dogs. I am a full time college student that loves animals. I am a full time college student living at home I am available for visits in the mornings, some afternoons and always night. Though my schedule is busy I am always flexible. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment for your furry friends. They will have their designated space, regular walks, playtime, and personalized care routines. In your home, I adapt to your pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining their routines, feeding schedules, and ensuring they receive the attention and love they need. My approach is flexible and tailored to meet the unique needs of each pet and client I serve.

“Ashley was punctual, communicative and followed my instructions when watching my 7 month old puppy. I look forward to adding Ashley into my rotation of regular dog sitters!”

“Molly was fabulous while watching our 3 cats for a week in our home! She was very attentive to their quirky needs and individual personalities. She was very patient while waiting out their shy, adjustment period. She administered meds to 2 of the 3, twice daily, which sometimes isn’t a smooth process! Molly was efficient and resourceful when dealing with our “disappearing” older female who re-surfaced after Molly’s efforts! She followed our instructions and reached out very responsibly when she had questions or concerns. We returned to a perfectly clean, fresh smelling home and 3 very content felines! We very much appreciated her daily updates with pictures! Will definitely hire her again for our next trip! Sincerely, David and Nora”

“Great experience! Patrice was knowledgeable, communicative, and friendly to us and our animals. The house was very well taken care of and our pups happy. Will definitely book again. Highly recommended!”

Nicholas S.

“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”

About: I have lived with a dog in my family for as long as I can remember. I have had three dogs (Cherry and Dutty) and am currently petsitting my sister's dog (Thor) on weekday mornings. Thor used to live with me and my family but my sister has recently moved out. I love being around dogs because they show you so much affection without speaking. I always look forward to taking care of my sister's dog. I walk Thor around my neighborhood so he can get some exercise and lead a long healthy life. My sister went to the vet for a check-up and told her he has lost three pounds since I started walking him more :). I also bathe Thor on a monthly basis. My past dog, Dutty, was a smaller dog but I took care of him with the basics such as walking, baths, etc. I was still in my child/adolescent years when Dutty was around. I also have four guinea pigs with two being male (Coconut and Milo) and the other two being female (Peanut and Peanut Jr.). Peanut Jr. is the daughter of Peanut and Milo. Having four guinea pigs is not easy but it has helped tremendously with taking care of dogs. I would say it has made taking care of dogs much easier! I am currently free for most of the week. If you ask for a schedule that I can't attend to, I will let you know. Opening right now are mornings - 10 AM and 2PM -evenings. Every day on a weekday, my sister drops off Thor in the morning at our house. Usually, Thor has already been taken out before my sister drops her off but I take him out if that isn't the case. He is also fed in the morning. Thor seems to be very picky with his food so I have to mix up wet food with his dry food. After this, I leave Thor with my mother so I can feed my guinea pigs and clean their cage. They are in a locked room that Thor can't access for their safety. I try to give Thor as much attention as he likes to cuddle and also be around someone. Even when he is sleeping, he prefers that someone is in the same room with him. Sometimes, I have to watch my nephew for a bit because my mother babysits him while my brother and sister-in-law are at work. Thor is usually happy being around my nephew so it all works out! I make sure Thor isn't rummaging through garbage and pick up anything on the floor that is toxic. Since Thor sheds constantly, I always have to clean the floor to keep the house tidy. I try to walk Thor every three hours and I also would go to my backyard to play with him so he can get some sun.

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

“Tiffany is wonderful. Very proactive, lots of communication, so attentive with our girls, and she is really fun to talk to. A great added bonus! We will definitely have her with us again.”

“Bekka was amazing. We felt good leaving our dogs and chickens in her care. She communicated really well throughout the weekend and left the house in perfect shape when we returned!!”

Kari F.

“Candice was amazing! She was able to accommodate my short notice request for my two dogs. She stayed overnight with them, took them for nice walks, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated all the photos and small details while I was away. Highly recommend, the dogs loved her (and she’s really understanding about special behavior needs and considerations)!”

Alina H.

“Kathy was absolutely amazing. She watched my two small dogs over the weekend. She is kind, patient and keeps in touch throughout. I have an elderly dog which can be challenging, but she handles every situation with care and understanding. Kathy was even so kind as the bring in our packages and the trash can (we have a very long driveway). I highly recommend Kathy. She was the perfect house/dog-sitter.”

Katherine B.

“Savannah was wonderful, I would highly recommend her to watch your pet. She always quickly responded to me and sent pictures of my pet to let me know they were comfortable and happy staying at home. I will definitely use her services again without hesitation.”

Kris K.

“Karen was great! She took care of our two small dogs for a week while we were away. She sent photos and let us know if anything happened. She was nice and punctual, would recommend!”

Steven N.

“Lauren did a great job taking care of our girls while we were away for a long weekend. One of the dogs got quite muddy when she found a friend to play with in the rain on a walk and Lauren had no problem getting her in the shower to clean her up. We will definitely have Lauren watch the girls in the future!”

About: I have experience with extra large dogs, small dogs, and cats. I grew up with dogs my whole life and research any breeds that I am unfamiliar with. I like to be knowledgeable about the breeds, mixes, and tendencies of the different kinds of canine. I am finding the love of a dog more and more comforting the older I get. The more I work with kids/people, I realize dogs are my passion. I have a high tolerance for barking, scratching, and drooling, with patience for messes and disabilities. I thoroughly enjoy working and learning about dogs. I just have a passion for dogs that I want to do what I can to give back to them and help out the busy life with others! I work in Waterford from 8 AM to 4 PM, so if your location is more than 25 minutes from there it may be difficult on the weekdays. I want the absolute best care for your fur family and would not want to make them wait those long hours as much as possible, and if they can, great! Let me know :) I familiarize myself with the home and the necessities of the pet! That includes, food, medication, crates, exercise, etc. I will confirm with you about anything that I may question about the pet whether it is behavior, giving them anything, etc!
