“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!”
About: I actively pet sat for two years and have hosted numerous of my own little rescue babies in my home over the years. All four of my babies are rescues and I frequently volunteer. I currently work as a full time dog groomer and it has been a dream come true to love on so many fur babies. Caring for animals is truly something I love! By day I do work as a full time dog groomer in the Whiteland area. I would from 9-4 most days. Some are shorter, some are longer. But I am blessed to be able to craft my own schedule and it is always flexible and able to be scheduled around whatever obligations I have. While I am unable to sit in my house right now, due to kiddos and my own grumpy old pup, I will be active at your home to check on the babies as often as your family needs! I think it is important to leave the fur babes in the space they are most comfortable day to day.
“Jenna did such a fantastic job taking care of our 2 cats for 5 days! One of our cats is super scared of strangers, but he warmed up to her so fast. She followed all of our care instructions and went above and beyond to care for our 2 boys. We would absolutely recommend Jenna to anyone, she is incredibly reliable and trustworthy!”
“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!!”
“I have been so impressed with Destinee and the care she has provided to my senior dog! She always sends good updates/pictures, and I trust her to take good care of my boy. She has even brought in packages without me asking!”
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”
“Katie has watched our pup multiple times and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s reliable, communicative and so sweet to our pup. Couldn’t ask for anyone better!!”
About: Growing up, my mom was always finding strays to add to our family. I've been responsible for the feeding, cleanup, and exercise of countless dogs since I was a kid and have learned how to work with any personality and temperament. I work full-time but spend my afternoons working remotely at home. I am available for drop-ins and walks after 2pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. :) Due to HOA rules I am unable to fence my yard so I spend plenty of time walking, swimming, and running with my dog, Oy, at the nearby lake. He roams my home freely but I do have experience crate training puppies.
About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!
About: I had a family dog for 20 years of my life. I have dog sit for countless family friends. I have also worked at a cat shelter and taken care of the animals there and have my own cats that I take care of. I am able to care for pets in the evening time any day of the week. If needed, I can also make very early morning work. I am able to walk your dogs for a long amount of time. I will also be willing to take care of the pets in the home.
About: I’ve happily taken care of dogs of any kind, inside their homes for family and friends for 10 years. I have house sat and done drop ins too. I am currently working full time but we will be home with the pups all evening. I am also able to stop in on my lunch breaks to do mid day potty breaks and some play time. On weekends my availability is much more open and I will be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with the pups. I have 4 dogs of my own at home that I care for and love with my family. I will show the same love and care for your pets as I do with my fur babies!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my love, my first dog was a golden retriever my dad gave me at 4 and ever since then I’ve had at least 1 to 3 dogs . Now I only have one a white lab named copper who loves playmates and company. I work full time graveyard shifts so I’m free all day and my girlfriend is home when I’m not. I’m flexible. All pets are welcome! As I mentioned I have a loveable 3 year old lab who loves company, a spare room in my house and a fenced in back yard
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 love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have looked after and cared for pets since childhood, and would love to add your pet to my roster! I am a massage therapist working 4 days a week. I am available all day on Wednesdays, and Friday afternoons to take your dog for a walk, feed your cat, or hang out with your furry friend! I am flexible to work with you and your pet to best suit their needs. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, hang out with them at your house, or take them to my fenced in yard where they can run either by themselves or with my dog.
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.
About: Hi! My name is Rebekah, and I would love to help take care of your animal! I am currently work full time in social media, and use Rover as a way to earn money on the side while spending time with furry friends! I have grown up with pets my entire life, and have previously worked in the salon at PetSmart. During my time at PetSmart I primarily worked with dogs, and have no issues handling all types of dogs, both big and small. Growing up I always had at least three cats in the house, and now have two fur babies of my own. Because of this I feel extremely comfortable handling both dogs and cats, and assisting you with whatever you may need! The nature of my job allows flexibility throughout the week during the day, so while I intend to primarily schedule services after work hours, if your pet needs more than one visit or a visit at a specific time I’m more than happy to work with you on that! Safety is my number one priority when taking care of your furry friend. I always ensure that I know where the pet I am caring for is at all times while I am checking in, I open doors slowly and keep an eye on any pets as I enter or exit your home, and I ensure I am familiar with your pets routine prior to arriving at your home. While on walks I make sure to place myself between your pet and the road, and I also make sure to avoid dogs I don’t know. I do my absolute best to make my stay with your pet fun, comfortable, and safe!
“Upon my return from my trip I found exactly what I've come to expect when Sophia takes care of my pets. They were happy, healthy, and quite obviously had been well cared for. She provides exactly the kind of service that I am looking for.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklin is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 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 November 2026, there are 2,295 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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
- 95% 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 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.
