“Thank you for your flexibility and for helping us out at the last minute. The dogs were happy and well taken care of, and we loved the notes and videos from the visits. We really appreciate it!”
About: I’ve been walking my family’s dogs for almost a decade now - a high energy Brittany spaniel & a very large husky/shepherd mix. 7 years ago I rescued a German shepherd/pit bull mix (Layla) who I’ve trained extensively and take on daily adventures. Then, a year ago I rescued Dixon (a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix) and he’s been reactive to humans & dogs alike. I’ve completed extensive training in classes with him alongside professionals. I’ve taken that experience and can apply many basic training concepts to dogs of all sizes/ages. I’m currently available throughout the work week from 2pm into the early evening. Book early to save a spot right at 2! I can also do special requests for weekends (although it says I am not available - shoot me a message and we can discuss!) I know a wide variety of trails/walking spots in the local area, so your pup will always be enriched & happy! I make sure to carry some kind of dog deterrent (PetSafe SprayShield or Pet Corrector) in case of emergency, and try to engage in positive reinforcement training throughout walks. This looks like rewarding the dog(s) with treats when they check in with me, stay in a heel, or keep loose tension on the leash. Within your home, I’ll always change/refill the water for the dog(s) after the walk.
“Cheryl was easy to work with, and went above and beyond our expectations! She communicated with us contiguously throughout our vacation. We hopefully will be able to work with her again going forward :)”
About: Hi, my wife Ali and I have been taking care of and walking dogs for years. We have 3 small dogs and 2 small parrots of our own. We live in a house with our own private fenced in dog park in the back. My wife is always home as she works from home and I work overnight so your pet will never be alone. We love to care for all dogs or other animals! We have 2 young children so your dog must be good around kids as well. If you have any questions please message me. Unfortunately at the time we are not accepting any large breeds (dogs that stand really tall on 4 legs) unless they are a small puppy and are 35-40lbs or less. We also do not take dogs that mark all over the house, one accident is expected when nervous in a new environment and we understand. We do charge extra $20 if you run out of food or we need to feed your dog our own food because dog food is costly these days. We also will charge a $200 cleaning fee for dogs who do mark all over the house because as stated we do not take dogs that do this. We are am extremely flexible with pet schedules, as of right now we bring our own dogs out every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and playtime outdoors. We visit a local dog park and we also have a yard. We have our own yard and we will be outside with your dog on leash, never left unsupervised, safety for everyone is important to us. We will always be very transparent with you.
About: I have had 3 dogs in my household, I’ve been taking care of 2 of them for the past 5 years. I have always helped my neighbors and friends walk, feed, and play with their pets while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and will be there when you need me. I’m working part time currently but I’m available between 8-11 am on weekdays, and on weekends I’m available after noon. But if another time is needed I will try to accommodate to it. I always let my dogs out multiple times a day, walk them and also feed them at specific times throughout the day. So if you need your dogs walked or fed at certain times I can be there!
“Jennifer was fantastic. We needed someone pretty last minute for the 4th of July. She was able to come over the day before and do a meet and greet with us and our 2 pups. Our pups loved her!!! We received pics and even a video while we were gone. Jennifer even started teaching them some new tricks and games. We couldn't be happier with our experience and are looking forward to booking her again”
“This was my first time using Rover. If you happen to be considering someone in the area please do not look any further than Stephanie for your dog. She went above and beyond. She is very trustworthy and professional and even cleaned up the floors. I will be using her again and I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Wow! This is my first time using Rover and Anna was the first sitter to pop up. I was a little nervous but decided to give it a try. She was absolutely amazing! I never had to worry at all about how my cat was doing. I felt relaxed and relieved, knowing she was in great hands. Every time Anna did her drop in I got pictures and a progress note. Kila loves her and I came home to one happy cat! I will absolutely be hiring Anna the next time I ago away . Thank you, Anna!”
“Brianna was a star sitter! Though our shy cat didn’t come out to meet her, she still kept us updated through the weekend with pictures and messages. I felt totally comfortable leaving our cat in her care and would definitely book again!”
“Kate was so amazing with our two cats! Even our very shy girl came out to see her and play. So grateful for the care she provided while we were away. She went above and beyond! Would definitely book with her again if she is available!”
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve been raised with dogs my entire life, and I also have three years of hands-on experience at a doggie boarding and daycare facility. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all types, from reactive dogs to high-energy pups. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and am experienced in meeting the dietary and exercise needs of dogs. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for animals. I offer a personalized experience, whether it’s hiking to burn off energy, providing calm and comfort for reactive dogs, or ensuring senior pups get the special care they need. My expertise in stimulating high-energy dogs and my knowledge of their specific needs makes me the perfect choice for your dog’s next adventure or stay! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time for walks, play sessions, and one-on-one attention for each animal I care for. Whether it’s getting up early to take a dog on a hike or spending extra time with a shy cat to build trust, I always prioritize their needs. I’m flexible and able to adapt to different schedules, ensuring pets get the love and care they deserve, no matter what else is going on in my day. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals can thrive. For dogs, that means daily hikes, interactive play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I make sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need to feel happy and secure. For cats, I adjust the atmosphere to their personality—whether it’s quiet, cozy space for a shy cat or active playtime to keep a kitten entertained. I’m also experienced with dietary needs, allergies, and administering medications if necessary. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as an extension of my own. I make sure their routines are kept intact, from feeding schedules to favorite activities. I believe in providing consistent care that allows them to feel safe and comfortable, just as they would in their own home. Whether it’s a dog who loves to hike or a cat who needs extra TLC, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m also skilled at handling reactive animals, training, and ensuring each pet’s emotional well-being is prioritized. My years of experience with both kittens and senior cats, combined with my ability to train and manage high-energy dogs, makes me stand out. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

“We are very pleased to have Michael helping us with our two dachshunds. Michael is very reliable and has quickly formed a bond with our little guys, allowing them to feel comfortable and safe. He’s an excellent communicator and keeps us up to date on exactly how they did. We feel extremely fortunate to be working with Michael.”
“Hailey was very communicative and won over our anxious Great Dane, which isn’t easy to do. She went above and beyond in care and we are so happy to have trusted her with our pups!”
About: If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your dog child like their own, then look no further :) I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your baby with somebody else, so I make it my mission to make sure you’re aware that your dog is getting all the love and attention they need. I take pride in providing quality photos and updates throughout their stay! My dog Finn and I absolutely love having new friends stay with us. Is your dog filled with energy and needs to get it all out daily? My back yard allows me to run around and play until your dog is ready for a break! If your dog is more of a stroller, they will definitely enjoy accompanying Finn and I on our walks around the walking trail. Whatever it may be; I am more than happy to accommodate for any of your dog’s specific needs Pet care fits right into my schedule the same way the care for my own dog fits into my schedule. It is my top priority that all dogs are comfortable and cared for My dog, Finn, has always been my shadow around my house. I'm just used to constantly being around him, and I find that my guests typically like to join in on the shadowing. I have a small house, so we are all usually in the same room hanging out. I love taking them on long walks around the scenic trail next to my house.
“As someone using Rover for the first time, Katie more-than exceeded my expectations. I could tell from the picture progression each day that my two kitties were well taken care of and loved to the fullest. Katie was excellent with communication, providing pictures and written statements every visit. She was attentive to both their needs and my own. I would easily recommend Katie to any pet owner, and will be asking for her help in the future!”
About: Hello! Welcome to my profile, my name is Fatima. My family and I are huge pet lovers. We currently don’t have any of our own so taking care of yours will make our hearts full! I was personally a fur mom for 13 years, & when my pups went to doggie heaven I have loved helping family members and friends care for their fur babies. I’d be so grateful to care for yours. I’m currently a stay at home mom and we would enjoy the wagging tails throughout our days! Our days consist of indoor and plenty of outdoor time. I have two littles that nap mid day so that’ll definitely be time for one on one cuddles indoor with your fur baby. We live on private property and have a big yard. I am flexible with whatever your needs are for your fur baby, just let me know :)
“Stephanie was absolutely great. The dogs were well cared for and they seemed happy as can be. We would definelty use her again. Everytime she watches them, there is no worries, she dogs are well taken care of.”
“Meaghan loves my Archie and treats him as her own. She bakes the best treats and he gobbles them up! She takes such good care of him that I’m blessed to have her as a sitter. (She even removed a tick she found! Now that’s dedication!)”
About: I've spent more than 5 years as a licensed pet groomer, building strong relationships with dogs and their owners. I'm certified through the National Dog Groomers of America and skilled in full grooming, bathing, and nail care for all breeds. I take time to learn each dog's unique personality so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Happy to provide house-sitting with the added benefit of professional grooming experience. I know that pet care needs don’t always follow a schedule, which is why I offer flexible availability, including weekends and holidays. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule and travel distance allow. My goal is to make finding reliable care for your pets as easy and stress-free as possible! N/A to my household. More focused on home ownerships rules and in case of emergency I would have instructions to contact the owners veterinary clinic and depending on the situation I am certificated in K9 CPR.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
We had a wonderful experience with Sophia! She was punctual for every visit, incredibly patient with our senior dog, and took the time to let him get comfortable with her at his own pace. She was also very communicative throughout, providing regular updates and photos. Caring for a frail senior dog comes with some extra concerns, but her kindness, compassion, and professionalism really put us at ease knowing he was in good hands. We’re very grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her!
We are beyond grateful to have found Talia as our dog sitter and will never use anyone else if we can avoid it! She loved our dogs and seriously treated them with as much care as we do. We didn’t even have to direct her on how to care for them/spoil them, she just did it. Even down to hand feeding them food & hand feeding ice to one of our dogs that didn’t want to drink water a couple of the days, etc. she is truly intuitive and will go above and beyond to take care of your pups. We also had a somewhat serious situation with our pup where we thought he was a little sick before we went on our short trip but turned out he had an actual physical issue with his back/legs. She went above and beyond to make sure he got the medicine he needed, was staying nourished, she would even carry him outside multiple times a day, etc. and literally nursed him back to health in 48 hours. Trust me when I say, your dog will be in THE BEST hands. Thank you so very much, Talia!
Alli was incredible! She took such great care of our baby while we were gone. It’s always tough to leave your dog behind when traveling, but she made it easier with constant check ins and pictures to show us how our baby was doing!!! We’ll be reaching out to her again :))
Allison is amazing! 10/10 recommend her! Our very anxious girl is always happy and safe and well cared for when we go on vacation. She goes above and beyond to make sure not only our pet is doing great but that we are always well updated with lots of messages and great photos!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklin is $30 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $38 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 10,682 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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
