About: 5 years ago I fell in love with my dog Shiba Foxy, she is literally my best friend. I have trained her to be such a good family dog. With maybe a little to much begging for food, but we are not perfect! Other than that I have raised 4 kids and a cat! So what can go wrong? After a very busy life of working in the finance industry and being a district manager in the outside field, I took a step back and now work in a director position working from home. I find myself needing a bit more. I also love things that don't talk back, like kids. hehe. In my home we have a fully fenced in yard. Foxy in leashed in harnessed on walks at all times. It's important to abide by the guidelines that the customer wants you to follow, if they want their animals in a crate with food or treats then prefect. If they don't then that is what you follow.
About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 5 and have been pet sitting cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13 for family friends. I am a college student and I pet sit over the summer, and holiday breaks throughout the year. I am available for daily drop-in’s throughout the week and on weekends. Morning/Night Check-ins would be easiest for me but I would be happy to visit more frequently if need be! Also, I can sit and play with your pet for a few hours if you’d prefer that! I have 2 pets of my own so I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! I would come to your house as frequent as you’d like throughout the day.
About: I have had a dog my entire life. Each one has been a unique part of the family. Tucker is my baby who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He is my whole world! I'm very trustworthy and I'll treat your dogs as if they're my own! I love to play with dogs, will take them for walks, or just hangout and give them a good scratch or brushing. I'm willing to do anything else you'd like so they feel comfortable, like a meet-and-greet! I've dog sat several times before and I really enjoy it! I am between jobs and have some extra time and what better way to spend it than to walk dogs and dog sit! I hope to meet your dog (and you) soon! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your pets and take them on a walk! My availability will be sporadic, but please message me and I will let you know if I’m free I will do anything you’d like me to with your dog and my goal is to make them feel comfortable! I am all about making them feel at home, getting exercise, or whatever your dogs needs are!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, considering our house has always been a zoo lol. I love fur babies and I will absolutely send you way to many pics. I currently work at my winter job but in the summer times I always pet sit for my neighbors for extra money, so i am available a lot. I will always make sure your pet is fed and happy. Comfort of an animal is my top priority, especially when there owner is away.
“Karla did a wonderful job with Rudy. He has special needs and she was very conscientious of getting the steps to his feeding and meds correct. Rudy enjoys spending time with Karla!”
About: I have cared for dogs of every kind, size, and age since before I was 10 years old. I have lived with and loved my own dogs for years. I’ve raised them from puppies to happy adults, and cared for friends, family, and neighbors dogs, including many senior dogs and puppies. I love to take dogs on long walks, play with them, or just cuddle and pet them. I am also very good with cats, and have loved and cared for many kitties as well. Your pets are promised a safe, reliable, and loving place in my care. During the summers I only work a part time job, allowing me plenty of free time to care for and play with your fur babies! My schedule is not set and consistent, so I will provide you what times I would be away at work depending on when you need me! I am very experienced when it comes to pet care, I can bathe, feed, walk, play with, and provide any care your pup or kitty may need. I understand some dogs may need more care and attention than others, and I am more than willing to provide that! I will also make sure your home stays clean. You will come back to happy, healthy, and safe pets, inside a clean home!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I’ve been taking care of them pretty much since I was able to take care of myself 😂 I love being able to meet new babies and take care of them! I’m currently between jobs, so I have time for taking care of even the most routine-loving pets. Plus, I am able to pop in whenever needed if that’s all you want me to do! I like to think of myself as very good at following instructions, even if your pet won’t 😂 and I like to make sure my job is done right.
“I D K if my other reviews showed up as my phone is not right!! I can’t see them. Courtney V is fantastic, has a sweet personality, is confident and exceeded my expectations!!! I will recommend her to all who need her ❤️💜”
About: I have worked at pet boarding facilities in the past and currently enjoy walking dogs and petsitting. I love cats as well and while I did not grow up with pets, I have lived with pets since my late teens. Currently, I work weekdays 2PM - 10PM. I am always happy to walk dogs in the mornings any day, and to pet sit on weekends! My favourite service is walking dogs (helps me get good exercise too!) Currently, I cannot offer pets to stay in my home. However, I can stay at client homes. Just provide me with feeding instructions and any other special instructions if applicable. Otherwise, I typically will hang out with your pet, let them out every couple hours, and give them a few play sessions during the day! I prefer petsitting on weekends due to my full-time work schedule Mon-Fri so I can devote more time to your buddy!
About: I have cared for multiple types of pets ever since I was little from cats, dogs, turtles, and birds. I have also worked at veterinary offices assisting in care and treatment for many type of animals for over 3 years. I work full time three days a week, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I am available to house sit and take pets on walks during evenings and on weekends. I am able to spend all day with your pets! With experience being in the animal field, I have learned different tricks and techniques to work with all types of animals.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was in middle school and have had a Lab, a Lab/Pit mix, and a Yorkie, so I’m used to all different sizes and personalities. My Lab/Pit mix is very energetic and anxious sometimes, so I’ve learned a lot of patience and how to handle dogs that need extra attention and care. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also helped friends and family by letting their dogs out, feeding them, and checking on them while they were away. I think dogs deserve a lot of attention, time outside, and love, not just being stuck in a cage all day. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer and work part time, so I have pretty flexible hours and am home most of the time. Pet care already fits naturally into my routine because I spend a lot of time taking care of and playing with my own dogs every day. I’m available for walks, drop ins, feeding, and playtime depending on the day and what is needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for based on their normal routine and personality. I know every dog is different, especially dogs that are anxious or high energy, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable and stress free while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I’ll follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any instructions carefully. I also make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime throughout the day.
About: I love my own cat with a passion. So I would love your cat the same way. From litter box cleaning, to making sure they get the proper food recommendations or just simple love. I would make sure they get the care they need! I graduated high school in 2025 and currently trying to figure out what is next in my life. I work part time and would love to see if animal care is what I want to pursue next. The pets in our household, we have a cat and a dog. I will only be offering dog walking and pet sitting in clients homes at this time.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was walking it feels like! I have a fur baby of my own who’s name is blues, he’s an Aussie doodle. I would love to care for your fur babies just as I do mine. I am a stay at home mom currently, my husband is in the military and i am looking for an extra hobby to pick up, and why not with my favorite animals!! We recently moved in November and our dog is used to being around a lot of dogs. So we love when we can find a pup to stay for a while !

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.
