About: I've taken care of various types of dogs, from pit bulls to toy poodles, and have also taken care of cats and turtles. I have experience with all essential needs including walking, feeding, and play time. I also have experience with basic grooming services such as bathing and brushing. I'm currently working part-time and have a fairly flexible schedule to fit your needs. I can be available on short notice including early mornings and late nights. I abide strictly by the pet parents instructions and rules, you know your pet best! I'm happy to play with your pup, go on leashed walks, and can crate them if needed.
About: Im Vanessa, I love animals and will treat your pet like they are my own - with great love and care. I have been a pet owner for most of my life and appreciate the companionship that comes with caring for a pet. I am happy to take your pup on a walk, to stop in for a visit at your home, or to provide boarding services as needed. Hi, I am available to take care of and play with your puppy from Monday to Friday, in the afternoons from 2pm to 6 pm I’m Vanessa and I've just moved and I’m only available for walks/ daily walk and outdoor games.I am available for dogs of all ages. !
About: I have had dogs in my life for many years now! I adore dogs. My family has own three goldens, one German Shepard, and one black lab! I’ve cared for them my whole life, including feeding, bathing, playing with them, working on training, etc. I work part-time until school starts in the fall. I have tons of time to see and play with your babies! I have my own form of transportation so I’m accessible at all times of the day! I will always make sure to ask questions when I’m not sure on something because I know how nerve racking it can be to leave your baby with someone you don’t know. I will also always double check any instructions to make sure I’m doing things perfectly to ensure nothing goes wrong. I am always up for playing with them and cuddling whenever they allow me to.
“Aixa was wonderful! She came through for us as a last minute request. She was so thoughtful about sending pictures and giving us updates (and even bought a new toy for the cats - they're so spoiled now ?). She truly went above and beyond and the cats enjoyed her visits. Highly recommended!!”
“Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!”
About: When you love dogs, they become not just a pet, they are family. When I am away I want to know my family is in the BEST hands. That simply means hanging out with them in addition to their walks and feeding them. If your dog needs extra attention or just someone to be there, I am that person. Not because you are asking me, because I truly want to make sure your pet is comfortable while you are way from them. I am home. I am retired. I can help with whatever needs to be done while you are away. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I can follow instructions like no other. Whatever your pet's schedule, I am there and am happy to make sure your pet is happy and secure while you are away.
“Meagan showed our pets the most patience ,love and compassionate. She went up and beyond expectations when my pets misbehaved with accidents while we were gone. She is punctual and takes the best pictures. My pets loved her. She has allowed us to travel and know that our pets are in the best hands....hers❤️ I Highly recommend her ❤️”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation. I am away from home about 2-4 hours on any weekday as I am back in school. I am usually home on the weekends and will be sure to adjust my schedule as needed for any dog's requirements during their stays. Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.
“Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of our two large dogs! She spent quality time with them, sent us pictures every day, took care of any messes and left our house nice and clean! I would highly recommend Stephanie and we will definitely call in her again.”
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?
“Lawrence did a great job taking care of our Bella! He gave updates and made us feel she was well taken care of! Will definitely book again with Lawrence next time we go out of town .”
“It was just a first meet-and-greet, but Rebekah communicated clearly, was friendly, and seemed to put Ralphie at ease. Will definitely contact her for future drop-in and house sitting needs!”
About: I grew up in North Carolina on my grandmother’s hobby farm. I have cared for just about every animal you can think of not just cats and dogs! All animals deserve love and care especially while their favorite human is away. I am currently working as a clerk for USPS and often get off of work at 10 in the morning leaving me with plenty of time to care for your pet! My schedule is subject to change but I am flexible and so is my job. Any schedule change can be worked around and I am always free in the evenings. I work no later than 5 on the days I am scheduled for a full day. At this time I live in an apartment with my two cats, they are very well cared for and I keep my living space extremely clean and tidy so that they can live their lives in a cozy environment. I never leave out anything that could harm them. My partner has an Australian blue heeler that I love and care for as my own. I take him for 2+ mile walks sometimes twice a day when his normal walker is not available. I care for all animals as if they are my own because they deserve the same love we do.
“Candace was awesome with our four cats home together for the holiday. She was flexible and accommodating for our last minute trip and came over to meet the cats the same day we booked her. She sent detailed updates and photos during her drop-in visits. We adopted a cat family during quarantine, so they are shy with new people, but Candace was great with them.”
About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for them is second nature to me. I am able to do basic grooming as well as bathing! I helped raise my family's current dog, taking her on walks as well as training her. I am not a certified trainer, but I had fun training her and found it relatively easy! I have experience with both large/extra large dogs as well as small dogs, with varying activity levels. I am currently home from college for summer break. I have church on Sunday mornings as well as karate Monday evenings, but other than that I am free to care for your fur babies! I am open and willing to adapt to the needs of your fur babies to the best of my ability. I have experience with fenced in yards and e-collars/invisible fences.
“I had to extend my time out from home and Brianna was a hero to me since she accepted my request in a very short of notice. She kindly responded my request in minutes and watched out for my dogs in the next day. Thank you Brianna!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Sarahcate was once again absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, communication was seamless. I received regular updates, detailed Rover cards, and plenty of great photos of my dog Buddy. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Buddy was in such caring and capable hands. Truly reliable, professional, and attentive. I will absolutely be booking Sarahcate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier walker!
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.
We are returning clients! Corina usually takes care of our cat but we decided to leave our golden doodle home this time in her care. She is tentative, caring, loving, and so wonderful to our babies! We feel so comfortable with her coming and going from our home but also making sure our fur babies are more than taken care of! I can’t recommend her enough!!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
