About: I have taken care of my own dogs (and rabbits!) for my entire life. I have provided pet care for friends and family as needed since I was a teenager. I was also a provider for in-home care for children with disabilities for 10 years before becoming a mom myself. I am a stay at home mom to 8 kiddos and now that I have transitioned my older biological children from homeschool to middle school/high school I have the time and ability to help make ends meet a bit easier by helping others while still being available for my family. I can provide care throughout the day every day of the week. I treat animals the same as children - with a gentle approach. I understand that you are trusting me with the care of your furry family member as well as trusting me to enter your home and I do not take that trust lightly.
“Our kitties were perfectly happy and content when we got back. It is such a relief that we can leave them in their home environment because of the trusted care she provides.”
“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!”
“Leo loved spending time with Minty. She was very attentive and took care of all his needs and played with him. She was great in sending updates to me. Would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable providing everything from walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to bathing, brushing, and basic grooming when needed. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping reinforce potty training, routines, and good habits. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves being active and playing, going on walks, or simply cuddling and relaxing, I’m happy to adjust their care to what makes them happiest. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own pets. I’m available as needed for any pet sitting. If you have a specific schedule that is needed, I’m more than willing to abide by it. I currently have dogs in my own home and have had a cat. I have picked up some of my clients animals from their home to watch them at my house, as well as going to their house and caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I love going on walks and cuddling with all pets.

I have experience with dogs of all ages and all sizes, which leaves me experienced for most pets, nor am I afraid of any breed! College is out for the summer, so I currently only have my part time job at a farm which leaves me with plenty of extra time for your pets! I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy.
“Dianna sits for my cat when I go on long vacations. She always sends great updates and it brightens my day seeing my fur baby being watched over so well. I’ve booked her twice already and have plans to do so for future trips. Did I mention she’s allergic? How’s that for a genuine love for animals!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember. From family, friends, neighbors and even teachers, they have relied on me to feed, medicate, walk, groom, play and love their babies like my own. Every animal is different, but always loved! I’m currently and fortunately a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open! During the school year, I’m available after 9am and could work afternoon needs around pick up times. School is about to be out, so my schedule would be open! I’m not doing in home services due to my rescue having a bad past and still working on trusting other dogs. In clients homes, I’d make sure to follow all requests, communicate what happened during the visit and have the utmost respect for their home/pet(s).
“Sophia was great! She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

I also love cats and have experience caring for them, including diabetic cats and dogs, as well as pets with other medical needs. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and getting the best care while you’re away. Available for boardings all week and every other weekend! I work two days a week so my schedule shifts every week. Can always make a fit !!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklin is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
