About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for 3 years currently. I have a ton of experience with all size dogs and cats! I would love to take care of your babies. I do work full time but there is always wiggle room for your pets! I would love to take time out of my day for some puppy love. I would try to follow the same routine that you would typically follow and be as loving as I can be so your pet isn’t lonely!
About: I have grown up taking care of our family dogs (2 Labs). My husband and I had a sweet chihuahua and currently have 2 cats. We love our boys and make our own cat food. I have taken care of pets for extended family, as well. I would love to help take care of your furry friends. I work from home, so it is easy for me to run out on a lunch break or between meetings to care for an animal. I would be upfront with my schedule so you would know about what time I would arrive to care for the pet. If you would like me to send photos of your pets when I visit, I'm happy to do so! I will follow any guidelines you provide for caring for your pet. Our cats require a certain level of attention and I would bring that same level of attention to your pet.
“This was our first time using Rover and Kristi was awesome! She came to let our dog out and feed her while we were away for the day. And my cat who never comes out when someone new is in the house actually came downstairs and hung out with her! I'm still so amazed! Kristi even cleaned the food container for us! She went way above and beyond for us! Will definitely use her again!”
“Britany is the best! She is great with my cat Pierre and always sends the cutest pictures of him. He’s very comfortable with her! She is very reliable, trustworthy and friendly overall.”
“Mary is great — totally confident having her drop in and care so well for our 2 dogs while we were gone for a week. They were well cared for and she was great with communicating updates! Will definitely have her help us again!”
About: Hello there! I have lived with and loved animals my entire life, learning to care for puppies, adult dogs and cats, rescues, and guinea pigs. Safety and compassion for your pet are my top priorities. I will meet your pet with what they need. I am a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. I am home for the time being and work a part-time job. I am willing to work out a schedule with you and your pet. Compassion and safety are my priorities, but when caring for your pet, your priorities are my priorities. I respect how you would like your animal to be cared for. Whatever your pet needs, I will go out of my way to make sure they are taken care of.
“Ashley was amazing with our two cats. She’d always let me know when she was on the way over to our house and gave me an update on how the cats were. We'll definitely have her over again when we go out of town.”
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.
About: I grew up doing 4H with all different types of animals. I also lived on a farm growing up. I have experience with breeding English Mastiffs and caring for rescue puppies and momma. I would love to add pet care into my daily work routine. I have a part tome job that is super flexible if needed so I can be available to work around your needs. I ensure there is a safe and clean environment for your loved ones to be around. I want to probide care for your pets as if they were my own. I have always had a passion for animals and caring for others.
“Brandon looked and took care of our dogs as if it was his own. He is also very communicative and provided us daily updates. Also went the extra mile and cleaned after our pups even though he didn’t have to…highly recommend! And def would rebook again!”
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 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. Beginning August 3rd, I attend a nursing program Monday 8am-3pm. I also work a part time job now, and will be during the school year as well. This allows 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: My family has owned dogs my entire life and I got my first cat when I was 10. My friends and family know me as someone who is passionate about every type of animal and have trusted me with the care of their own loving companions for 9 years. I currently work part-time and have a very flexible schedule so I can easily provide services as short and sweet as drop ins, to longer stays like house sitting after communicating with you about what will work for both of our busy human schedules and what works best for your fur babies. While I don't have a fenced yard, I live in a very dog friendly community where potty breaks are short walks with my own dog Maggie who will be your dog's best friend and playmate. After that there are snuggles on the couch with my cat Coraline.
“Laura was great caring for not only our 80 pound puppy, but also our senior dog who needed alittle extra care. She was available early morning and late evening while we were out of town. She wasn’t afraid to call with questions, which I very much appreciated. Definitely will use Laura again!”
“We have never used someone we didn’t know to watch our pets and to have Julia was a godsend. One of our pets had continual accidents while we were away and Julia took it in stride and rolled with the punches. She was absolutely fabulous. She communicated well and answered any questions we had. We also needed to add additional visits and she helped us navigate that. If we have a trip in the future we will be using her again! Thank you so much Julia!”

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.
