“Kelly is absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Not only did she take incredible care of my two senior girls, an a 5 year old, but she also cared for my sweet Jimmy, who has two very serious medical conditions: megaesophagus and laryngeal paralysis. Jimmy requires a LOT of special care. He has to eat sitting upright in a special chair, can't drink water from a bowl on the floor, and can't run around outside like his sisters. Kelly handled ALL of it beautifully! She walked Jimmy on a leash, made sure he was fed exactly the way he needed to be, and gave him all his medications. And on top of that, she made sure my three girls were well cared for and received their medications, too! Anyone who knows Jimmy knows how much attention and care he requires, so trusting someone else with him is a BIG deal for us. Kelly gave me something priceless: peace of mind knowing all four of my babies were in wonderful hands. I truly cannot express how grateful I am. Kelly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of my babies! You're a blessing, and I would recommend you a thousand times over! ❤️🐾 See you again in November!!!!”
“Will definitely be calling Adria again. My babies loved here. They woke up Sunday morning and went straight to her room looking for her. House was kept clean and my fur babies were well taken care of.What more can you ask for.”
About: I have 4+ years of experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m an animal lover who just wants to be surrounded by them as much as possible. I can train as I’ve had 3 dogs myself in which I’ve pretty much trained all 3. I am doing online school right now and have a bunch of free time to take care of the pets in need, but would prefer weekdays. I have a fenced yard with PLENTY of room. Very spacious living space where they can roam if wanted and just to have in general.
“Thank you so much, Kayla! You were there to help us get our precious dog from the vet to the hospital while dealing with my chemo brain. You were there to listen and concerned for our dog. Wish you only the best in life. God bless you.”
“My partner and I are first-time dog owners, and Tavin was our first dog sitter booked through this app, so naturally we were a little nervous. However, Tavin was communicative, easygoing, and attentive to our pup’s needs right from the start. He stayed overnight with our dog, sent us pictures and updates, responded promptly, and left the house just as clean as he found it. We will definitely be booking Tavin again and highly recommend him to anyone considering his services!”
“Lydia was great! This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous. However, Lydia put us at ease. She took the time to get to know our three dogs. Also, Lydia was very patient, understanding, and caring knowing some of our dogs had some separation issues while we were away. Eventually, all three dogs became comfortable with Lydia. Lydia provided daily updates and pictures of the dogs and even did a Facetime call which gave us piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of. We trust Lydia and would book her again if needed.”

About: With 11+ years in hospitality, I’m all about attentive, reliable care and that extends to dogs. I follow routines, communicate clearly, and make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and understood. Your dog’s comfort is my priority, and you’ll always know how they’re doing while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to accommodate most requests. I work in hospitality, so I’m used to managing time, staying organized, and being available when people need me. I’m typically free for drop‑ins, walks, and sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. If you need early morning care, late night check‑ins, or a specific routine for your dog, I’m happy to work around that. Just let me know what your pup is used to, and I’ll match their schedule so they stay comfortable and consistent. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I’m detail oriented, calm under pressure, and I follow instructions exactly as they’re given. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, comfort level, and any special needs so they always feel secure and supported. I never take risks with pets leashes stay on during walks, doors and gates are double checked, and I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels. I’m also mindful of your home and privacy, treating your space with the same respect I give to your dog. You can expect clear communication, honest updates, and full transparency. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, cared for, and in good hands every moment they’re with me.
“Hailee was great! Very responsible and loved on our babies. Also communicated a lot throughout our absence and made me feel very comfortable about leaving our animals behind. Would definitely use her again!”
“Elizabeth was extremely attentive and interactive while Maggie was with her. We received constant updates with picture which went a long way to sooth our anxieties. She welcomed our dog into her pack and gave us the feeling of a very safe, secure and caring environment for her. And, she was very near our home which was a huge bonus. I would highly recommend Elizabeth.”
“I can not recommend Kori enough! She house-sat for our (very rambunctious) english bulldog puppy and was very attentive to both our puppy and our house! You can tell she is naturally wonderful with dogs, but she expands upon that with a level of concern and care for them that actually allowed me to my enjoy my trip and minimized my mom-guilt :) I plan to use Kori for all future trips and would recommend her to anyone needing a wonderful companion for their pet!”
“Grayson is such an amazing dog sitter for our pups! We have booked her 3 times. We truly trusted that they were in great hands and being loved and cared for everyday! She sends lots of updates which is SO appreciated and my dog was so happy to see her again! Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Dania took great care of Moose and shared daily videos and pictures. We came home to a happy dog and a home exactly how we left. Thank you, Dania!! We will definitely book again.”
About: I have taken care of all different kind of pets throughout my high school years. I raised a cow all the way through rabbits. Coming to college in TN, I have really missed my animals back home in California. I am not only doing this for money. I am doing this for a bond and trust between you, me, and your pets. I have a goal to get more comfortable with your dog each time. I do this for my own happiness and their happiness as well when their owner cannot be there. I am easy to contact and keep in touch with and I will treat your pet like the coolest aunt they’ve ever had. I cannot wait to meet them and yourself! Thank you for considering! I am currently an assistant so my schedule varies but i am mostly home during my time. I’d love to hang out with your pet in the meantime! My apartment stays clean and comfy for pets. They’re more than welcomed to cuddle in my couch/bed and we have many other friendly pets around my building they can say hi to!
About: Will love and care for your animal as it was my own. Years of pet care experience combined with my own personal experience with pets. High level of attention to details. Will do any and everything to make sure your pet is getting the best experience away from you. I am open and flexible to all times and hours for pet care. There is not a time too early or too late where I can be available. I care with pets with the upmost respect and care. There is not a request or requirement or too specific to ensure the animal is as comfortable as it can be.
About: I grew up in a multi-dog household and have experience with everything from big labs to small chihuahuas. One of my family dogs had diabetes, so I understand how important routine, medication, and careful monitoring are. I also fostered a puppy who wasn’t crate trained, so I’m patient and confident working with younger dogs still learning structure. I’m very hands-on, detail-oriented, and make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. My remote work schedule allows me to provide flexible, hands-on care all day long. I’m experienced with dogs who require structured routines and strict feeding schedules, and I take pride in following instructions closely. Your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care—not just quick check-ins treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine consistent. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks and walks, enjoy playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow all care instructions closely and always communicate with updates and pictures.

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 , 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 .
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 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.
