“Emily took absolutely amazing care of our dog, Tolkien, while we were away! She was incredibly responsible with administering his medication on schedule, which gave us complete peace of mind. Tolkien was happy, relaxed, and perfectly cared for when we returned. We are so grateful for her reliability and wouldn't hesitate to trust her with him again!”
“Kristen is a lifesaver! I needed drop in visits abruptly and she came to the rescue. She did great with my dog, sent plenty of photos and texts. Will definitely use her again! A+.”
“Jenna is caring, efficient and trustworthy! She even came by a few days before her scheduled visit to meet my babies and learn special care instructions. There was an unexpected occurrence during her visit, she notified me immediately and performed additional services. She went above and beyond and I am so grateful. She is worth every penny. She was joined by her very knowledgeable fiancé. I will definitely be utilizing their valuable skills in the future!”
About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!
“Logan was amazing with our older golden, Karlee. She updated me at every visit on how Karlee was doing and sent pictures at every visit. Communication with Logan was wonderful. An immediate response every time. I highly recommend her!”
“Emily was incredible! So kind and flexible with helping out. My flight was delayed and extended my trip an entire day, but she was more than willing to provide that extra bit of support. Kitties loved her and were well taken care of. Definitely someone worth rebooking!!”
“Wonderful. Super great at communicating. Sent pictures and followed up with questions I had. Definitely will continue to use if her schedule allows! Very happy with her services.”
About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up and still have 2 dogs. I have also pet sit for numerous families and family members over the years. I love animals and love taking care of them. I work for home 3 days a week. I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Friday and am free on the weekends. I am looking to fit pet care into these time frames. I feed, water and take pets on walks. I have also taught dogs to swim. I also love hiking. I have also given medications to my animals and others.
“My cat is an old lady who requires early morning medication every day. I’ve booked Taylor twice, each on a weekend where I requested she drop in by 7:30. Taylor came and made sure my girl was properly medicated and hung out with and gave her love. I appreciate Taylor for being willing to come by fairly early on a weekend. My girl has only been on this medication since May and it’s been a transition to make sure she’s cared for on a fairly strict schedule. Having Taylor come by has given me a bit more help when I can’t be home! She has always been very responsive and I will definitely book her again! Thanks, Taylor!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have owned two family dogs, I’m very comfortable with daily care and routines. I have several years of experience dog sitting for friends and families, and I’m confident handling walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working 2 days over the summer, (full time teacher) during the school year available after school, during summer available every day except Tuesday and Wednesday!! I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their routine, providing plenty of love, attention, and exercise!! I respect my clients’ homes by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions!
“Very happy with the service. I had a great vacation knowing my cats were in good hands. I enjoyed the photos of them getting love and attention. I would definitely hire Darcie again.”
About: I have dog sat for several families for about a year now and it is my favorite thing to do. Dogs truly are a man’s best friend and all pets for that matter. I am currently in nursing school looking for an extra way to make money! I have previously house sat for many dogs of all ages and breeds even puppies and older dogs with disabilities. I have also watched turtles, cats, and fish. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am currently in nursing school so dog sitting between and after classes is perfect for me! During breaks I dog sit/walk full time as well as babysit. As a dog owner myself, I know how important our fluffy friends are. Safety is a top priority and I will ensure your pet is safe and happy!
About: I've never worked for a company like Rover but I've watched many people's pets, mainly friends of the family. My household has two dogs and 3 cats, two of the cats are kittens. I like small dogs but big dogs are my absolute favorite. I personally have a great dane who is a dork and I love him so much. We used to bread great danes so I can work well with puppies. :) I currently work part time, I work most mornings till about 10am and am free after that. I can watch animals on weekend afternoons or evenings. I would like a set schedule with someone if that works out. I have a big back yard and a very loving great dane to keep company. I also have a pin for my dog if for some reason they don't get along. Also a cat poll in my house for those who need cats watched.
About: I have had dogs and cats as pets for all of my life. I love to be where animals are and take care of them like my own. Being able to be a comfort person to your own pets is what brings me joy! I am a teacher and will be starting school on August 3rd. As of now my schedule is open, but once August comes my schedule will change to being available after 4:15pm and weekends! Thanks for looking at my profile and I would be glad to meet your little ones :) I have a dog at home that is reactive to other animals, so all home sitting will be at clients house. When there I make sure I treat the space and the animals as if it/they were my own.
“My dogs love Alexis and we feel very comfortable with her taking care of them. My little dog is fussy about who he likes, but he loves Alexis. We will definitely continue using her to watch them when we travel!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklin is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 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 pet’s 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 October 2026, there are 2,330 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franklin. 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 pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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 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 .
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 , 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 Franklin. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
