“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've owned animals for most of my life, dogs and cats. I consider myself confident around animals with a kind disposition which allows the animal to feel engaging and safe. My own dogs have been rescues as well as purebreds. I'm comfortable with puppies as it had my own and train them well. I can make myself available throughout the day as my full-time job allows me to work from home and have flexibility. If longer time is required during visits, I'm able to bring my work with me and sit with your pet for longer. Caring for your pet will include an introduction allowing them to know I'm safe to enter their home. Depending on the need of the animal, I will engage with them on their level, feed them if needed, and provide outdoor engagement during their potty break. I'm happy to send pictures through text to show the safety of your pet.
“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!”
“Brianna is great with my crazy little Jack Chi mix. He gets so excited to see her and she works so well with his feisty personality. We recently started grooming with Brianna and my baby is really enjoying his bath time and head rubs from Brianna.”
“Lizzi was awesome. This was our first time leaving our super social under 1 year old kitten and I was really nervous. It was so great seeing updates of Zuzu happily playing, sleeping, eating and drinking.. being her happy self while we were away. Lizzi’s communication and kindness made this all a really easy experience for each of us when usually leaving a pet for the first time is very anxiety inducing. Lizzi is exactly the person I was looking for to take perfect care of Zuzu while we were away. That lextra level of attention and care that goes beyond being in a safe place and being fed, but truly knowing that someone with experience and compassion has their best interest at heart.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have a 3 year old and 6 month old Australian Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable with high energy pups. I’d love to help care for your pet! I offer walking, boarding, and drop-in services. I work mostly from home, so I’m around throughout the day for boarding and attentive care. I also own a spacious home with a large yard, giving your pet plenty of room to play and relax. Prior to accepting boardings, guests must be up-to-date on their rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines and provide proof of vaccination status. The health of your pups and my pup are my top priority. Since I mainly WFH, I am available for boarding and daycare services any day of the week. I am also available for walks and check-ins after work and on the weekends. I have a very friendly dog who regularly goes to dog daycare and is up to date on all of his vaccinations and flea/tick/heart worm, so he knows how to play safely with other dogs and is crate trained. I can crate your dog as well if preferred.

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in the pets who need a little extra: seniors, anxious or reactive dogs, and pets on medication schedules (oral and injectable). I’m an approved foster parent with Almost Home Animal Rescue, where I’ve cared for dogs with special needs, helped shy and fearful pups come out of their shells, and managed multi-dog households with conflict, including food-aggressive and territorial dogs. I’ve trained puppies, nursed blind senior dogs through their golden years, and treat every pet in my care exactly as I would my own two dogs at home. I’m equally comfortable with cats. I grew up with them, have cared for 5+ over the years, and even rescued a kitten from my previous neighborhood. Whether it’s a confident cat who needs company or a shy one who needs space and patience, I tailor my approach to what each individual pet actually needs. Clients tell me they return from vacation to a happier, calmer pet than when they left and that’s the standard I hold myself to. I’m currently working part time while I am in graduate school and my partner currently works from home most days so my schedule is very flexible for care. I am available weekdays except for Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings, as I coach a dance team during that time. We currently reside in a house in Farmington Hills with a huge fenced in backyard. The house has been puppy proofed as we approved foster parents with Almost Home Animal Rescue. When caring for a new pet, I always make sure to give them a comfortable and positive experience with me.
About: Hi! I’m so excited to help care for your furry friends. I have two cats of my own that are great around other animals. I grew up around larger dogs (black lab, English shepherd, labradoodle) but am comfortable with pups of all sizes. I frequently dog sit for a few of my friends who have medium/large dogs and I’ve also watched over birds, rodents, and reptiles. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and caring for pets with special needs. I would love to care for your pets at your place! Ask me anything, and let me know if I’d be a good fit for caring for your fur babies! I work as a teacher, so I am able to check in on pets in the early morning and early afternoon-night on weekdays. On the weekends and during the summer I can spend as much time as you’d like with your pet. :) I have a lot of experience babysitting and pet-sitting in others’ homes, and I will always respect your space and belongings. You can expect me to leave your place clean and your pets happy and loved.

Review from Jazzy the pet: I love Sarang! I am a very needy, attention seeking pet. Sarang is so patient and caring. Sarang gives me countless belly rubs, lets me follow around into bathroom. I am fed, walked on time. I hope Sarang will always be my sitter! Love Jazzy.
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.

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.

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.
