About: A lifetime of loving animals—messy paws, big personalities, and all! 🐾❤️ I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from tiny kittens and wild puppies to big dogs and senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve experienced it all—the zoomies, the accidents, the big messes, the little messes, and most importantly, all the love that comes with them! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet companionship, or your senior pet needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

“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!”

“Nathan took care of everything and everyone. He did a great job communicating with us. I'm a nervous traveler - I hate to leave my pets, but he was so reassuring throughout. I feel very calm and know that our cats are in great hands. He even made friends with the ones who love to hide.”

About: Hey there! I’m Kyle, I am 23 years old and just graduated from the University of South Carolina. I am here in Brentwood with my parents for the next year or so and am trying to make some extra money before I accept a full time job and move out to my own place. I have had many pets since I was born, as well as a lot of random baby/house/pet sitting jobs since I was a freshman in high school. I love all types of dogs and pets, including my gigantic golden labradoodle Striker. I love walking and being outside and would love to meet and take care of your dog!! My schedule is pretty wide open. I have a couple part time jobs but nothing that has me on too tight of a schedule so it is usually super easy for me to switch things around and make things work best for your timing!

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!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. While serving on active duty, I consistently walked and cared for dogs for about six years. I’ve also house sat with pets for extended periods, with my longest stay being two weeks. I’m comfortable with animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, keep up with established routines, and give your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I also take house sitting seriously and will treat your home and animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m excited to get back into it and spend more time caring for animals again. I work from home, which makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with drop offs starting at 10 AM. I’m able to provide consistent supervision since I work from home. My community has two dog parks, a dog spa, and a great walking trail, so there are plenty of options for exercise and enrichment. Percy Warner Park is also about four miles away for longer walks and outdoor time. I have two cats at home, so I’m mindful about safe introductions and making sure every animal is comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I’ll even run your dogs if needed!

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.
About: Ive had pets growing up ever since I was 7 from cats to dogs to lizards and snakes. I care deeply about proper animal care. I am in Nashville from Monday to Thursday and free for walks and in home visits-(meds, feeding etc) weekends I am free for boarding 🦜 I have always been an advocate for the best possible care for animals and have been entrusted by many to take care of their pets.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around furry friends has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also spent lots of time dog/cat sitting for family and friends, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs and cuddles, or just hanging out together, I’m always happy to keep your pet company! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! I’m able to work around my schedule to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they have everything they need, including fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I know that being away from their owners can be an adjustment for pets, so I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m happy to spend extra time with them, give them lots of cuddles and playtime, and make sure they’re never feeling lonely. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I give your pets. I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your furry family members are in good hands while you’re away!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
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!

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.

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 .
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
