“Once again Lauren has come to my rescue. This time she was checking on my cat while I've been out of town and she did great. I will definitely be working with her in the future any time I can!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting as a teenager when I began pet sitting for family friends and neighbors, and I’ve loved it ever since. My primary experience is caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle routine. I treat every dog and cat in my care like they’re my own, focusing on their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, enrichment, structured routines, or quiet companionship. I also have experience administering oral medications and injections when needed. I have additional hands-on experience with small pets and other animals, including birds and reptiles, which has strengthened my overall understanding of animal behavior and care. No matter the pet, I provide reliable, attentive care so they feel secure and well cared for in your absence. I’m currently a teacher on summer break and looking forward to spending my days doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, consistent pet care throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and creating a calm, low-stress presence, and I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible in the home so pets feel safe and at ease while their owners are away.
“Ashleigh did a fantastic job with my two cats while I was away :) She followed all instructions perfectly and sent some great photos of them. 10/10 and will use their services again!”
“Jessica was amazing, responded straight away and was very responsible, she took great care of Gizmo and went above and beyond of what was asked, I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica, so glad I found you 😁 Mandy B”
“Genuinely an incredible cat sitter. Very attentive to detail, thoughtful, and friendly. Informative and thorough Rover Cards. Went above and beyond, even offering to take our trash to curb while away. Would 100% recommend for kittens or young cats.”
“Brianna is great! She is quick to respond & provides lots of photos & notes from her weekly visits with my dog, Koda. Koda also loves that he gets to run around with her dog Arrow. Highly recommend, she is wonderful!”
About: My family and I raised a pug named Poppy for 13 years and later another named Daisy. Poppy passed away last year after living a full and loving life under our care. I still miss her every day! Dogs seem to be drawn to me everywhere I go. And I’m always happy to play with them any opportunity I get! Don’t be surprised if you fur baby begs you to come back after our time together. Background in semi professional baseball and financial wealth management I work typically 9-6 on weekdays with some flexibility. Occasionally later depending on client meetings. Weekends I’m normally free, especially during the winter. I do play in multiple sports leagues, but those are usually on weeknights. I have a fenced in yard with a dog lead and is located within a subdivision away from a busy street. I also have a big open basement with padded floors for your pet to run around and play in. My house is very clean and even has brand new carpets. I allow pets on furniture, I just typically wipe off their paws after we return from walks or playing in the yard. My cat is friendly, but I also have a guest room upstairs she can stay in when company is over. No small objects or choking hazards around and very few breakable items for them to worry about running into.
About: I have experience caring for family and friends' pets, including feedings, walks, playtime, and overnight care. I'm attentive to routines and understand that every pet has a different temperament. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care so you and your pet feel comfortable and secure. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30am-5pm. I'm available for morning and evening visits during the week, as well as overnight stays. On weekends, I have more flexibility throughout the day. I'm committed to keeping your pet's routine consistent and dependable. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I follow all instructions carefully and prioritize safety and consistency. I respect your space, maintain routines, and provide clear communication with regular updates and photos. My goal is to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times.
“Aixa is amazing! My one cat loves her. The second one who is always afraid even came to her. The details and pictures she sent showed what good care she took of my boys! She is truly a kind soul!”
“Erin is a fantastic sitter for my kittens! She is friendly, knowledgeable, timely, and so good with animals. She is always quick to respond to messages and will go above and beyond to make sure you feel assured that your pets are happy and healthy. She also sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated, and left my house cleaner than I did! We can’t wait to book with Erin again!!”
“Noah is an "Exceptional" Young Man! He is very caring my Dog "Loved" him from the first meet and greet. Noah was very punctual and always made sure my dog had "Everything"he needed each day. That means the "World " to me, because I was out of town. Noah thought of things to do for my dog that I had forgotten to tell him. I have an extended stay out of town, and Noah is my choice for a second time! Thank You, Noah, "Endlessly" for taking excellent 24 Karat Gold care of my fur baby!”
About: Dogs and dog owners will love how I can accommodate their schedule and treat the members of their families as my own. I have plenty of experience with pets and take pride in giving excellent service. I enjoy going for runs with dogs or just keeping them company and meeting all their needs. Dogs are unconditional in the love that they give to their owners and have distinct individual personalities. It is important to provide the proper environment and care for dogs because they are creatures of habit and enjoy having a disciplined regimen as well as an overall healthy lifestyle. Choosing the right person is imperative to establish a positive routine for your best friend and critical to their happiness. I make sure that the care for your animal is top tier priority. Whatever the preference of the pet owner I am happy to follow. I follow the care instructions provided by their owner to the t. I always start by asking how would you prefer to have them taken care of?

Impeccable communication and an absolutely pleasure working with Sarahcate. Would give 100 stars! Thank you for following all requests and sharing photos as well. I felt comfortable that my fur baby was receiving the best possible care. Sarahcate really set my mind at ease. She is very kind, caring, insightful and personable to interact with! Added bonus - Gordy was content and safe under her care. Cannot thank you enough.
Emily has been great with our Lucy! You can tell she has a lot of experience and is a pet lover. Our Lucy who can be timid and high anxiety really took to Emily and even sat on her lap! Emily’s communication prior was great and she kept us informed on the visit including photos. We would highly recommend her especially if your pet has special needs.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Franklin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Franklin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
