“Hope did a fantastic job caring for and entertaining Barron while I was on a work trip. In addition, she made using the Rover app to extend the visits super easy for a first time user. Anyone in her area is very lucky to have such a wonderful resource for his or her furry friends!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on animal care experience and the amount of love I put into every pet I care for! 🐾 I have experience working in animal welfare and veterinary care, fostering animals, bottle-feeding babies, administering medications, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. From energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to what each animal needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I focus on keeping their routines consistent, making them feel safe and comfortable, and keeping you updated while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I understand that your pets aren’t just animals, they’re family! ❤️ Animals are already a huge part of my everyday life! Between caring for my own pets, my experience in animal welfare, and pet sitting, taking care of animals is something that comes naturally to me. I plan my schedule around my responsibilities to make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, love, exercise, and care. I’m big on keeping pets on their normal routines as much as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s instructions. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pets on their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and plenty of affection. I also make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment and send updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away! When caring for pets in my own home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and supervision while making sure introductions and interactions are handled appropriately. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities, cats, puppies, senior pets, and animals who need a little extra patience or medical care. My goal is always to make your pets feel loved, safe, and right at home! 🐾❤️

About: Hi, my name is Kristin. I have 2 kids and 2 pups and 1 cat. I have worked at the same boarding facility for 11 years and love working with animals. I have plenty of flexibility to walk and take care of pets around work. I’m really hoping to bring in a small handful of consistent clients to grow with. I have 2 friendly pups that go to work with me and play with other dogs regularly. I have a fenced in yard and love spending time outside with my animals and kids.

About: "I've spent 30+ years working with dogs professionally — as a groomer (I owned a 500+ client grooming business), a vet tech and kennel manager, and a dog trainer. I'm also the author of a published dog-training book. I share my home with two dogs and two cats of my own, so animals aren't just my work — they're my life." My schedule is flexible, and I keep my Rover calendar updated in real time. Drop-in visits and walks can usually be arranged around my week — just send a request and I'll confirm quickly. For overnight sitting, I take on a limited number of bookings so each dog gets my full attention. I respond to all requests the same day. Your dog's safety comes first, always. In your home, I follow your routines exactly — locked doors, leashes on walks, and no off-leash time unless you've specifically okayed a secure area. I'm trained to read dog body language and spot stress early, and with 30+ years of professional experience, I stay calm in emergencies. You'll get updates and photos with every visit.

About: I have cared for pets since I was double digits. I have had hamsters, fish, cats, and dogs. Dogs are my favorite, though. It doesn't matter what breed; they are all unique in their own way and beautiful as well. I have personally owned a Rotti (Rocco), Husky mix (Mercedes), English Bulldog (Diesel), Frenchies (Kingston & Khloe), and now a pocket bully (Oakley) and English Bulldog (Lola). Since our kids are grown, these are our fur babies. We always say that this is their home, and they just let us live with them. I am able and comfortable with injuries, wounds, bathing, and cutting nails if needed. We are currently going through the puppy stage with Lola, so we have a lot of patience as well. We would love for you to choose us to stay with because we love meeting new friends, no matter their age or breed. I work from home 3 days a week, so I am here most of the time to care for pets. Dogs are like kids; once you have more of them, they are easier to care for because they move in a pack for the most part. I have two extremely friendly and loving dogs here. We have a fenced-in yard in the back. We live in a quiet subdivision out in the country with sidewalks and other friendly dogs. Our home is dog-proofed in the sense that we have a dog gate, multiple dog beds throughout the house downstairs, and two bins of dog toys. We also keep plenty of treats for training and snacks.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on for boarding on weekend, and weekdays after 9am to 7pm for starters and see how it goes… I'd love to help with pet-sitting! But I have three dogs of my own, so I'm unable to stay overnight. However, I'd be happy to do drop-in visits to check on your dogs anytime. I'm available for afternoon visits, or whatever works best for you. Let me know if you'd like me to come by for a visit!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 6 years and you can count on me to be reliable and caring. I’m great with all kinds of animals and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I am in graduate school but only have class for 3 hours in the morning and clinic 2 day a week so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I will be willing to take dogs on walks and play with all animals and make sure they are happy and fed. I love all animals and would be willing to follow daily activities you partake in with your pets!

About: Quiet, peaceful atmosphere where dogs stay close, feel safe, and enjoy special care. 3 walks per day. Several potty breaks, clean bowls daily, fresh filtered water. Your pup will love our woods walks! With 30 years of experience, I specialize in gentle handling, consistent routines, enrichment and fun, low stress stays for all breeds, especially for senior dogs and those with special care needs. Your dog will receive calm, confident attention while walking, and a balance of playtime, quiet time, and naps. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make each stay calm, comfortable, stress-free and FUN. I'm especially well-suited for senior dogs who thrive in a peaceful environment and they love our daily routines. Book holidays soon (I am not raising my holiday peak rates)! I ’m home most days and clear my schedule for each visit, allowing me to provide consistent, personal care in a peaceful environment. Dogs enjoy regular exercise, frequent potty breaks, playtime, companionship, adventure and plenty of quiet time to relax in comfortable beds and peaceful spaces. Dogs quickly settle into my daily structure and routine. Holiday availability 🐾❤️ I’m available for boarding throughout Thanksgiving and the Christmas holiday season. I keep my bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, comfort, walks, and loving care. I may host up to two compatible dogs from different families at the same time. Any overlapping stays are discussed with each pet parent in advance to make sure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. 🐾 Your pup can settle in and relax in my clean, cozy, quiet home with a beautiful, tree-lined private backyard and two acres of wooded trails that dogs love to explore. I follow each dog’s routine closely and provide calm supervision, structure, rest, gentle enrichment, and individual care. My home is especially well suited for adult and senior dogs who thrive in a peaceful, low-stress environment. 🐾❤️

About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.

About: My first pet was a cat growing up, and later on I helped take care of my family’s Golden Retriever and got to watch him grow up. I’ve also pet sat through Trusted House Sitters in places like Chicago and Boston, caring for dogs in their own homes. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work remotely as a graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I always enjoy getting outside, so spending time walking and caring for pets is the perfect break from my desk. When pet sitting, I always treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routine closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and my passion for canine care began at age 14 when I first learned the fundamentals of training and responsible pet ownership. Since then, I have personally raised two dogs from nine-week-old puppies into adulthood, giving me hands-on experience with developmental needs, safety, and attentive daily care. Animals naturally sense my calm demeanor and feel comfortable around me, allowing me to build instant trust and keep them at ease. In addition to raising my own companions, I regularly help pet parents understand canine behavior and basic training through positive, clear communication that works seamlessly for both dogs and their owners. As a current student, my daily routine is structured to ensure your pets receive reliable, dedicated care without disruption. I have excellent availability early in the morning before classes, typically between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM or 11:00 AM depending on the day. After classes wrap up, I am fully free for afternoon and evening visits starting after 12:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 5:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As long as visits fall around these regular class windows, I can seamlessly accommodate walks, feedings, and drop-ins throughout the week. I also have zero issues providing overnight care and weekend coverage, giving your pets consistent attention, company, and love while keeping their routines completely on track. Because I am currently in school, I do not offer pet boarding in my own home. Instead, I specialize entirely in in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay comfortable, secure, and stress-free in their own familiar environment. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your personal space with the highest level of respect, care, and cleanliness. My primary focus is making sure all of your pet’s essential needs are met meticulously, from precise feeding schedules and fresh water to maintaining clean living areas and administering medication if required. Beyond the basics, I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and follow any extra instructions to the letter, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and dedicated companionship.

About: I have pet sit and walked dogs for years, growing up I was surrounded by and owned dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, and parakeets. I love animals and they enrich life! I taking classes at a school so I am able to care for pets and provide walks the whole day! I am also able to fit in pet sitting afterwards as I only work 6 hours a day. I’m able to feed animals in the morning before I leave for work, and spend much of the afternoon to hangout and give them some love. I’m a home body and love to hangout at home during pet sitting with the pet. I love to brush pets everyday and I love going on walks with dogs daily! I enjoy playing with dogs to get energy out as well and am always mindful to give some time in between playing and eating to ensure a safe eating routine!

“Dania was amazing!. We were nervous about leaving town and having someone care for our kitty, but Dania cared wonderfully for our fur baby, not only attending to her basic needs, but actually spending some time snuggling and playing with her. Dania also sent daily updates to give us peace of mind. Thank you so much for caring for our kitty, if we plan for another trip, we know who to call! :)”

Hope was so kind and was able to accommodate us last minute when someone else cancelled on us. She sent me plenty of pictures I loved receiving while away. She also went out of her way to do a meet and greet with my pups. I was nervous about my shepherd because he’s reactive but she was patient enough to win him over and took great care of him and my puppy!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Franklin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklin is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $44 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 909 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
