About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was about 15, either house sitting, walking, or drop ins. I have experience with all animal behaviors and am comfortable with most. I am available any time; I don’t have a traditional job anymore. Monday through Friday and select weekends depending on the need of the pet! I am not able to watch pets in my home, but in yours. I am mostly available to do drop ins; long or short. I am happy to give them enrichment whether it be fetch or wand toys!
“Ashley took care of my four cats while I was away, and she did a fantastic job! She was friendly, easy-going, and communicated well throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was her attention to detail. She followed all my care instructions meticulously, ensuring my cats were happy and well-cared for. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which reassured me that my pets were in great hands. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you again, Ashley!!”
About: Professionalism, integrity, top tier care and timeliness are my main priorities. I have a years of experience caring for canines and cats. When they are with me, I love to take them on adventures, play fetch, walks, and give them lots of love. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do morning, night and mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!
About: I have experience working in homes as well as boarding facilities, caring for dogs of various ages and breeds. I've been responsible for feeding, bathing, & administering medications, and I enjoy building individual relationships with each dog while catering to their specific needs. I have a very flexible schedule. I'm doing online classes, so I can cater to your pet's needs, and will make their well-being my priority. I'm typically available most week days & weekends. I'm interested in caring for each pet as if they were my own. I'm meticulous about following instructions, being punctual & aim to give every pet an exceptional experience.
“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.”
“I would give extra stars if I could. We had another sitter cancel on us the day before vacation and Kylie was available to come over on short notice to meet us and our dog. She was absolutely great with communication. We got multiple pictures and updates per day. She was super reliable and we could see that Willa was well cared for and had fun on her visits. Thank you so much for caring for Willa!”
“Antonella stopped in and took care of our dog Piper on New Years Eve and sent us nice pics assuring us our animals were doing well while we were out. Thanks again and will definitely use Antonella in the future!”
About: When I'm home from college, I live on a street that has lots of pets, so for the past 7ish years, my neighbors have asked me to pet sit while they have been out of town. At home, I have a senior dog and a small dog with 3 legs, so I have experience with both seniors and disabled dogs. I am a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I don't have many in-person classes, so I should be available most of the time. I care for pets by taking them on walks throughout the day, ensuring they have enough water, feeding them at the appropriate times, administering their medication, and playing with them during the day.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds - elderly/special needs/puppy dogs, cats, bunnies, hedgehogs - you name it! I believe they are the best form of unconditional love and want each animal to know how special their existence is. I'm a single mom who works part time. I am available to help you with your pet sitting needs. My schedule is very flexible and I will confirm requirements with you before accepting the assignment. I have a large fully-fenced yard. I also have three dogs to keep your fur-babies company. And, I am absolutely able to crate your animal(s) if neeeded.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life! I currently walk my neighbors dogs, take care of kittens & cats, and my own clan of furry friends! I would take care of your pets as I would want someone trusting and loving to do the same for mine! ❤️ I work from home, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends to walk, play, cuddle, and spend quality time caring for your beloved fur child. I live in a townhome community in Franklin, with lots of space to walk and play with your dogs! I own a 2 bedroom condo with a backed in fenced area also:)
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love spending time with them, playing with them, going on runs, etc. I’ve dog sat for years with family and friends as well. My childhood dog and cat just passed away so my cup needs some filling when it comes to animals! I work on tours so I am out of town most weekends, but when I’m in town I love to use my days off to be outside and go for walks. I love talking dogs to parks or walking around the neighborhood, but even just sitting with them or playing fetch, I love to do! My cup is filled by being around animals so anything they need, I’m happy to do. In my home we treat our pets like they’re a part of the family, they eat twice per day and always have food and water available. We allow them on couches and beds but they have their space too. At home, I love taking my dogs on walks and runs with me and playing fetch with my labradoodle. My cat sleeps with me every night when I’m home and I love being around animals in general

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.
Wow! Joe and Daniella came for a drop in visit today for my two girls. They made sure my pups got to go outside to do their business. Joe and Daniella were very communicative with me and made me feel at ease. I am so impressed and extremely grateful for their help!!!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Franklin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Franklin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
