“Amazing proactive care of my cats, excellent communication! Went above and beyond to make nervous cats comfortable and confident, and made my travel so much less stressful. Will hire again!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and currently have one border collie at home. I’m used to 1+ hour walks multiple times a day (as needed), lots and lots of engaged playtime, and work to put furry family members first! 🐕 🐾 I’m a college student that is currently on summer break; as such, I have a very flexible schedule at the moment (mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc) I make sure keep doors open/headphones off when at home/while dogsitting so that animals don’t have to work to get my attention when they need it—I aim for at least two long walks a day with my high energy dog, with shorter potty breaks interspersed during the day. I understand the importance of accurate portion control for pets and make it a point to keep animals healthy with accurate meal sizes and monitor their water intake throughout the day.
“Bri is just the absolute best!! We are so grateful for her and arrow. My dog is a nervous boy who doesn’t love other people but they are able to bring him out of shell and make him comfortable.”
“First time using Adam he did a great job and my 2 cats were well looked after and seemed happy when we returned from our trip. I will us Adam again for watching my cats.”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of our cats while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our cats and treated them with so much kindness and love. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties, and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!”
“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.”
“Theresa did a great job checking in on our cat while we were on vacation. This was the second time we have used her for drop in visits. She is always prompt and keeps us updated on how he is doing and providing cute photos. Thanks again Theresa!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny kittens to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. I grew up with pets as part of the family, so I know they deserve love, patience, and attention just like we do. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule to spend plenty of time with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or making sure medication is given on time, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away — and I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable communication, daily updates, and lots of cute photos while you’re gone.
“Sarah was punctual and very reliable. She provided detailed daily updates on litter cleaning, feeding, and playtime, along with plenty of photos and videos. My cat can be a bit shy, but Sarah was patient and clearly comfortable caring for her. Communication was excellent throughout the five days I was away. I would definitely book her again!”
“Lizzi was very helpful, did everything I asked for feeding and taking care of my two cats, and sent pictures daily. Made me feel very reassured while I was away. Thank you Lizzi!”
“Took excellent care of my fur baby Harvey! Communication was exceptional! Very passionate and caring. I have never felt so comfortable while traveling with my pet at home. Knew he was in great hands. Thank you Kelly!”
“Danielle was timely, responsive, and kind. She took great care of our kitties for the weekend. She has a clear passion for working with animals and we felt our cats were in great hands. We definitely plan to work with her in the future.”
“First time using Rover. Charlene was absolutely fabulous. Reliable. Smart. Clean. Responsible. Great personality. Charlene had all of the essential qualities needed to put your mind at ease while caring for your loved ones. I’m so happy I threw caution to the wind for this amazing outcome.”
“Absolutely amazing with our pup. Extremely communicative and always sent the best pictures showing us all was well. Won’t hesitate for a second to book again next time we need a pup sitter!”
“Megan was fantastic! She was on top of her messages and got back right away, did a meet and greet with Koko ahead of time to make sure they were a good fit, and took good care of him (and lots of adorable pictures) while she was over at the house! Koko was happy , and so were we! Peace of mind. Thanks, Megan, for taking care of our baby.”

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.
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.
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 August 2026, there are 4,427 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.

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.
