“Sarah is the best , she went over and above for my fur baby, she came and did a meet and greet, from that moment I felt her spirit and energy was truly and genuinely the best fit for my fur baby.”


“We highly recommend Sarah. She communicated with us all the time and sent photos. Most of all she was so accommodating when we ran into issues with our travel plans. We will definitely use her again if she's available”

“Erica took great care of the kitties. They loved her instantly and she is very responsive. I was able to relax while I was away knowing she was there to love and care for my fur babies. Highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets!”

“Lauren is so great! She helped me out with a last-minute drop in request with only a few hours of notice. The following is my review of Lauren when I first engaged her to care for my dogs…a bit long, but it will paint the picture of the kind-hearted and responsible sitter Lauren is. When my former sitter could no longer care of my dogs, I turned to Rover to find a new caregiver. I was drawn in by Lauren’s profile and clear love of animals. She came over to meet my old dogs (10 and 13 ½) and they hit it off immediately. My boys are always excited for a visitor and smothered Lauren with lots of attention. She was patient with them and really took time to get to know them – outside too. I arranged drop in visits three times a day while I was gone (6 days). She sent me a report card for every visit. They were detailed and included lots of photos (20 or so). Her description of the visits where so good…she captured the quirks of each dog and gave me a general update. Between the photos and her descriptions, I felt like I was there. The report cards have a time stamp and I could see that she spent more than the scheduled time with the dogs. I could tell that my dogs were good and happy. She was great at following instructions for the medication for my older dog. And the house was in order when I returned. My neighbor mention how nice she was and how much time she spent outside with the dogs. I can’t recommend Lauren enough (though selfishly…I only want her when I travel). You would be lucky to have Lauren care for your beloved pets.”

“Ashley did a great job communicating the visits she had at my home I appreciated her loving care and attention to details. Plus, her humor in accepting the silly dog and chickens I letting her charge. Everything looked great when I returned home.”


“Jordan was awesome! Responded quickly to my request for services. Took initiative to learn more about Watson prior to visit. He on time for both visits, played/walked Watson and sent great pics. Highly recommend Jordan. Will definetley use him again.”
“Theresa was fantastic! She did her best to make sure beans was as taken care of as possible in our absence. I would absolutely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your furry friend.”

“I just returned home and it usually takes Lola some time to warm up to me, she came right out and has been calm. I loved how Felisha contacted me and even took photos of Lola. Thank you so much, Felisha!”

“Mackenzie was amazing! We are new to the area and I was a little concerned having someone I never met come over while we were gone. She was so professional and did great with our very shy cat. Usually he won't even come out for people but we could see him waiting for her on the camera, it was so sweet. We will definitely book with her again.”


“Alexi was wonderful! She and River got along great, she was on time and communicative for every visit, overall a lovely and reassuring experience that eased our minds while we were away! Plus, the pics were adorable! Highly recommend!”

“Emily was awesome. She was able to provide great drop-in care for my cat while I was away. She has obvious compassion for animals and makes sure they are well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,439 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
