“Couldn't be happier with Brianne who helped watch our two kitties while on vacation. She was extremely helpful and stayed in communication with us throughout the entire process. We even threw a last second curve with home access the last second while she handled with no issues. Would highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for pet care!”
“I appreciate Megan’s reliability and promptness in feeding and checking in on my cat. I’m sincerely grateful for her caring nature and patience in winning over my very shy cat. Thank you!”
About: I haven taken care of dogs, cats, and even turtles since I was 14! I've helped out my neighbors with their pets since I was a little kid. I've walked, fed, sat, and checked in plenty of times for dogs and cats! One thing about me to know, is I will always make sure that lil fur baby has fresh water everyday as well, haha! Hydration station!! I currently am not working so I am free most days and nights! The main thing I have been doing is taking care of everyone around me and I would love to do the same with every and anybody I can. I definitely am more awake towards the end of the day/night! I am always here to communicate and see what works best for everyone though! :~) I've had cats my entire life and have walked/fed/house sat many many dogs in my life! Cats as well. I mean I just care about animals a lot. I think they deserve all the love, safety, and compassion in the world. I have always always had a connection to animals. They tend to get comfortable with me pretty quickly and I get comfortable with them even quicker haha!! I have always kept fur babies safe and feel loved.
About: I have worked with animals nearly my entire life, I started volunteering at the animal shelter in middle school. I have worked at a doggy daycare and most recently have been a veterinary technician for the past 4 years. I am currently working part-time and I go to online school at this time. My schedule is very flexible and always able to change things around. I have two cats and two very friendly dogs. I am extremely neat and take cleanliness very seriously. I have experience taking care of plants. I am trained in both human and animal basic life support/CPR certified.
“Yunyi was phenomenal!! She responded quickly, was super flexible, and provided wonderful communication so that I knew my baby was well taken care of. I also had to change dates at the last minute and she was nothing but accommodating. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I am friendly, reliable, and honest. I love animals and hope to find some to take care of regularly so I can build a relationship with them and their humans. I watch my kids on weekdays and work evenings and weekends. I am looking for extra ways to supplement my income, and this seems like a “do what you love” situation. I walk my dog, take him out for bathroom breaks, do monthly grooming sessions, change cat litter, and occasionally administer medicine, as needed. I am very comfortable around dogs, cats, and other animals.
“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.”
“Bella was amazing with my cat! I adopted her from a traumatic situation, so I am picky with who comes around since she is still adjusting. Bella was so patient with her and was quick to respond to me when I asked for updates! I came home to a clean house and a happy little girl! Will definitely be asking her back when I need someone!”
“Cheryl is fantastic! Prior to our trip, she stopped by to meet our cats and learn their schedule and preferences. We have 2 cats and one has a congenital heart condition (HCM) who takes medication twice a day. He can be a challenge to medicate but Cheryl was so patient and managed to get him to take his meds every single time. She also gave lots of attention, play time, and really went the extra mile to form a bond with our boys. I know she made them feel safe and well cared for as they were looking around for her after we got home 😂 She sent updates with eveey visit and really great photos (which we loved). Everything was so clean as well (our cats are messy!) Will definitely book her for our future trips. 10/10. Absolutely book with her if she is available!”
“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: 🩶 Get To Know Me! 🩶 Hi, my name's Courtney & I'm 20 years old! :D I've spent my entire life around animals & have always had a passion for any & all of them. I think the opportunity to spend time with, support, learn, & bond with pets is such a gift, because nothing makes me happier than being around such gentle & sweet creatures. In the past, I've had a dog, frogs, fish, a parakeet, guinea pigs, & hermit crabs! Currently, I have a ball python named Zuno, & I absolutely adore him. I have a lot of hands-on experience given my background, & regardless of how high-maintenance, energetic, or skittish your pet is, I'd be more than grateful to take care of yours under your given terms. 🩶 Senior Pets? No Problem! 🩶 My past dog, Lewis, who passed at 12, developed Degenerative Myelopathy, meaning he slowly lost mobility over time. I spent as much time with him as I could, whether that was changing diapers, aiding in moving him to eat & drink water, or giving him his medication. I have a special place in my heart for older pets, & I'm completely willing to provide the same supervision to yours. My daily/weekly routine is typically very open. I'm currently enrolled in college with a very flexible schedule. My classes are online, allowing me to be available at any time. Having grown up around animals, I'm very well-versed in reading body language, determining their needs, & remaining calm & comfortable. No matter how hyper, social, shy, or high-maintenance your pet is, I'm there to meet & provide for them through it all.
“Gray was so incredible with our boys! They seemed so happy with her taking care of them and she sent the best photos and updates during our time away! We will definitely be booking her again for our boys during our next vacation! Thank you, Gray!!”
“Allison gave my furry friend love and attention while I was out of town for a couple weeks and she was very good at sending photos & videos every day. Thank you for your care!”
About: Ever since i can remember, I always wanted to work with animals. In 2005 I graduated high school and moved to tennessee because there were no colleges around the arkansas area that had a veterinary technician program. In 2010 I graduated with an A.A.S degree in veterinary technology. A couple months later, I took the national board test to become a licensed veterinary medical technician which i passed. I spent the first 8 years working at a 5 doctor fast paced busy vet clinic. I then spent the next 4 years learning and working at an overnight emergency vet hospital. I've also done various pet sitting, giving fluids to geriatric pets, giving medications, day walks and day care, etc. I am an animal person and I think they can sense that from me, especially the ChiChihuahuas!! My veterinary technician license expired in 2019 when I decided I was going to change career fields. However helping animals is in my blood and I will always work with animals in some way. Let me take care of your babies! You can feel confident and worry-free while your pets’ are in capable, experienced and compassionate hands! I would love to set up a meet and greet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m sure I will be able to work with your schedule. Just send me a message and we can work something out that you’re comfortable with. I love to do drop in visits and/or stay at your house overnight care. I really try not to disturb their routine as much possible so please tell me their routine, where they normally sleep, eat times, favorites toys and treats.
About: With extensive experience as a pet sitter, I pride myself on delivering top-notch care for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. My approach is centered on understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I have successfully cared for numerous pets, providing services ranging from routine walks and playtime to administering medication and special dietary needs. My goal is to create a fun, loving, and secure environment that keeps pets happy and healthy while giving their owners peace of mind. Whether it’s energetic play sessions, long walks, or cozy snuggles, I am committed to making every pet’s time with me a joyful and stress-free experience. I’m currently working part-time at a coffee shop and my schedule is pretty flexible. On days that I work I am typically off around 1 or 2. I also have open availability on Sundays and one varying weekday. I specialize in providing in-home pet visits instead of boarding, ensuring your pets remain comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. I offer tailored care, including feeding, playtime, and medication, to keep pets happy and stress-free in their own home, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve worked with all breeds of dogs since I was young, between pet sitting, working for a groomer, kennel assistants and working for multiple vet hospitals throughout the years. I can administer medications as needed. I have a wide array of knowledge and skills such as emergency medicine, and working with neurological patients. I currently work full time at an emergency vet hospital. I take care of cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds daily, and have been a veterinary technician for 15 years. I also have two pets of my own that are very spoiled. My pets are my babies, and I treat clients and friends pets just the same. Whatever their routine is, would be followed very closely and be kept a close eye on.

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 November 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
