“Taylor did such a great job with my little girls! She was so helpful during our drop-in visit, especially since we’re currently potty training our new puppy. She played with them, gave them lots of attention, and let them outside twice. I’m so glad I booked with Taylor and would definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: Highly flexible based in Franklin. Had rescue dogs as loving pets since a child, volunteered at WCAC and worked for Mars Petcare for 20 years pre-retirement. Love getting out and walking dogs. Being retired I am very flexible and can do generally any time. I do voluntary work in Nashville but this is very flexible. I do occasionally travel to see family. I have a lovely mix pit called Elvis rescued from Williams County Animal Shelter 8 years ago. He is good with people and most dogs. Large dogs he isn't great with or ones that are high energy.
“Jenna is really good and experienced dog sitter, Rocky our pet dog loved her company and care, she made sure rocky is comfortable and ensured he got all the care needed while we were away. Thanks to her experienced care and service”
“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.”
“Samantha did a phenomenal job with Teddy. Her communication was great, she was on time and even left him a sweet toy! Ted is very particular and in the photo she shared, I could tell he was happy and comfortable!”

About: My two dogs are my life! I have an 8 year old shih tzu and a 2 year old Italian greyhound. Both are high maintenance and have required sensitive care of the years. I want to share my love for my animals with yours when you can’t be there. I work 8-5 Monday-Friday, can do drop ins/walks in my neighborhood after that. On the weekends I am usually open availability. I can do drop ins on my lunch break in case of emergency! I can adjust my level of care to fit your needs. In your house or mine! I have two friendly dogs that love the company.
About: I love dogs and will treat your furry family member like my own! I love snuggling with dogs (if your dog enjoys that kind of thing). I have a large Bernedoodle in the home, he loves dogs and is a big goofball. I have a lot of experience with babysitting dogs- big and small. Will make sure your dog has a fun time while you are away. :) your dog will get daily exercise and A LOT of attention. I can send you daily pictures of your dog so you know what he/she is up to! I stay in most of the time, I currently am in an MBA program. I work full time, but I work hybrid remote (2 days remote). I work close to home, so I can bounce back and forth if I am needed in the office. I give them lots of love! I never take the dogs out without putting their leash on, for their safety. I have a large dog in the home who is a gentle giant and loves all dogs.
“Chandler is a great pet sitter! She checked in daily as requested, sent pictures and updates, and made sure our cat got plenty of attention. I will definitely be using her services again and recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for over 25 years, including puppies, senior dogs, and animals with special needs or medication routines. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and what helps them feel safe and happy. I especially enjoy becoming a familiar, dependable part of a pet’s regular week through walks and drop-in visits. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pet, so I’m reliable, communicative, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you on a routine that fits your pet’s needs. I especially enjoy recurring walks and drop-in visits where I can become a familiar, dependable part of your pet’s week. I’ll always confirm timing, care instructions, and expectations with you before we begin. I take your pet’s routine, safety, and comfort seriously. I follow your instructions closely, pay attention to behavior and energy level, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, medications, and feeding routines are handled carefully. I’m also very comfortable caring for senior pets and animals with special needs.
“Macon was amazing with our two kitties. While our one cat is very social and loves attention, our other cat is very shy and doesn’t trust people easily. By the end of our trip, our shy kitty was all snuggled up and loving the attention. Macon sent photos and a check-in update during each visit. Feels good to know our kitties are in safe hands while we are away. Highly recommend!”
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.

Deborah was awesome! She took great care of our doggies. Which I appreciate very much. She sent pics and kept us informed. We have never left our doggies with a sitter before. I would highly recommend her for anybody looking for somebody that takes good care of their babies.Thanks again Deb. Quit.

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.
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 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 .
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.

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.
