“Taylor was truly the first cat sitter I’ve had that made me feel comfortable and confident with leaving my babies! She went above and beyond with them and would send me the best photos and paragraphs about her visit with me! I will absolutely be using Taylor again when I go out of town!”
“Mabry is the best! I never have to worry about leaving when I know my pet is in her care. She is always sure to communicate with me to let me know how they are doing and she sends me photos during her visits of my pets to ease my paranoid mom heart while I'm away.”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals throughout my life. I have had a dog and a cat and I’m comfortable around all animals. I have a gentle personality and get along with all pets! I have plenty of time during my weeks to play with pets! I am currently looking for a music industry job in the area and would love to help out the community in the meantime! I am comfortable playing with, caring for, and interacting with all animals. I have a fenced in yard and always love the company of a furry friend.
“Liza did excellent. Was away for a week and you know how nerve racking that can be leaving your pup with a stranger. Liza showed up on time and shared pics and videos of our Mia the whole time. Mia was happy and well taken care of when we got back. I will use Liza again with no worries.”
“Lila was fantastic! My cats are normally shy and scared of strangers, but she got them to come and play! She is practically a cat whisperer. Will be rebooking her for my next trip.”
About: Have had pets most of my life. Had a Boston Terrier that walked 5+ miles a day. Have walked friends Boxers, doxies, Scottish Terriers and a coonhound mix. I work from home and have flexibility. If there’s a set time that your dog is used to walking, I will do my best to stick to their routine. We will need to discuss your pets habits & how/if I can be a fit for their habits. Typically will walk 30 minutes or let out back, clean up after them & let them back inside. And if crated, place them back in their crate.
“Sahara did a great job keeping my old kitty happy for a week while I was out of town. She is really good at communicating and kept me updated for the whole week. Thanks Sahara!”
About: I spent the last year caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, lizards, ducks, chickens, goats, hermit crabs, fish, and homes. I grew up with cows and rode horses and have had several wonderful cats that I have adopted and an amazing golden retriever! I have been trusted to care for pets with serious medical needs and am comfortable with tracking and providing any necessary medication and supplements. I also take great care to ensure that I leave your home in excellent condition. Your special family members will receive lots of love and the best care from me! I’m currently working full time Monday to Friday 8:00-4:30 so I will be available in the early morning, late afternoon, and overnight during weekdays with full availability on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. My husband, Matthew Swan is also a highly experienced pet sitter here on Rover. We take pet sitting jobs together so your family gets double the love and care. I will meet with you in-person for detailed instructions on how to care for your pets prior to staying in your home to ensure a smooth transition. I will also keep you updated with pictures and texts throughout my stay.
“Tiana is amazing with our fur babies! We have used her multiple times for our four animals and she is so great with them. She always makes sure they’ve finished meals and pottied during her visits and put my mind at such ease when we’ve gone out of town. She even learned how to give our diabetic cat insulin so we didn’t have to board her on our trips! Highly recommend Tiana!”
About: Hi, my name is Lauren! I have experience working with a wide variety of working dogs, so I understand the multifaceted care that comes with monitoring and mitigating stress, animal behavior, administering dog first aid and medications, providing fun enrichment and exercise for your pup! As someone who has a senior dog, I am well-versed in accommodating special diets and other habitual needs that your furry friend requires! I will look after them as if they were my own. I currently work part-time that has some flexibility in the mornings and evenings. I don’t work a typical 9-5, weekday kind of job so there’s a chance I can help out while you’re at work! I have a spacious apartment (with big windows to look out of) that is close by to a few parks. I like to take long walks to ensure a proper potty break for your dog, while also providing time for sniffing and exploring. In others homes, I am very respectful of boundaries and following instructions: cleaning up messes that are made, etc. I can also water your plants!
About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have been in my life as long as I can remember. Pets are my passion and caring for them is my purpose. I’m currently based in Nashville and will be relocating to the Owensboro/Utica area in December. I’ll have availability for pet-care services in October and November, with more flexibility once I’m back in Kentucky. My home is located on approximately 50 acres in the beautiful countryside of Utica, offering pets plenty of space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful setting. I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual. As I establish myself in the area, I’m excited to build lasting relationships with local pet parents and grow my pet-care services into a full-time business. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely at home. 🐾 I have a 2 year old, black pitbull mix, so his care is already at the center of all that I do. I live in an apartment, so frequent walks are vital to keep him exercised and entertained. We do have a small dog park in the complex. I love taking Lakota to Ellington Ag. Center because it backs right up to the complex and has great walking trails. His best friend’s name is Alfie who lives in the neighborhood and I take him a few days a week to my apartment and the little dog park here to play with Lakota. We also enjoy going to the Pitts Park dog park or Edwin Warner.
“Extremely professional and responsible. Communication was clear, timely, and helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dependable service.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Thank you so much, Shane, for taking such great care of our cats, Mira and Luke! She completed 4 drop-in visits over two days and was incredibly reliable. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent, which made us feel completely at ease. Both Mira and Luke loved her! We would highly recommend Shane and will definitely ask her to watch them again next time.
Lauren has been such a huge help for me when I leave town with my sweet kitty… she genuinely cares for her and shows up when she is supposed to and I’m grateful for the little extras she does for me if I ask, and when i don’t, like watering my outside plants/flowers and brining in my packages. I highly recommend her!
Emily is absolutely amazing when she watches my two cats! They like to hide and gave her a scare once, but she always makes sure she has eyes on them and bribes them with treats. I try to make sure I always am able to book her specifically cause I know I’ll get a detailed update!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Franklin is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
