About: I'm a stay-at-home college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I've grown up around both dogs and cats and have years of experience caring for them. At home, I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding, basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adjust my care to meet their needs. I'm currently working part-time, but I typically work 1-3 days a week and shifts that are only 4 1/2 hours, so I won't be away for too long. I make sure there is a clean environment for the pets, and I make sure that all pets are taken care of correctly. All pets are different, and I try to meet every pet's needs so how I care for every pet differs with how the pet needs to be taken care of. When it comes to taking care of the house itself, I try to be super neat and leave the house better than I found it.
“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!!”
“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”
“Dani is fantastic! She's very friendly, prompt, super sweet to our puppy and the delight to have around! She will ask you questions regarding your specific needs and will give you updates about her visits. Couldn't ask for a better puppy sitter!”
“Sharon was great with our dogs. She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures, and even offered to to back and check on our pup again after she left and we were concerned about her being sick (which occurred before Sharon got there).”
“Taylor did a wonderful job watching my dog for me while I was out of town! I had a medical emergency while I was gone, and I loved knowing my dog was in good hands with her and it was one less thing I needed to worry about.”
About: “I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals — I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. **Please have your dog freshly bathed before their stay “Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time every day for walks, play, and snuggles, so fitting in your pet’s needs feels easy and enjoyable. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of love and attention.” “In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles — I follow their normal routine so they feel right at home.

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.

About: I have owned and been around animals my entire life. Little about me is I love animals with a passion and see every one of them as if they were my own. Around the past 5 years to current, I have been dog sitting and helping out at a local rescue shelter with foster dogs of all ages and sizes and I enjoy every second of it. I have raised dogs from when they were a puppy all the way to a senior so I understand the time patience it takes. With me, I am not able to dog sit in my home as my apartment complex will not allow dogs but I am willing to do house sitting, drop-in visit, exercise, etc. I am a very active person and love going on walks and taking them out to parks to have fun! If you are training with your pet I will continue to help train and work with them to keep that habit going! Also if your pet has any allergies or any needs that I need to know I am super flexible and always willing to help with it and keep them as comfortable as possible as I want them to feel completely comfortable and have a wonderful time with me! I am pretty flexible when it comes to watching and taking care of pet. Grew up in a house hold where dog / cat sitting was very common along with fostering pets! I would treat any clients pets as if there were my own making sure they are happy well fed and making sure they are comfortable!

I’m new to TN and Rover but I have run my own pet care business the past 10 years prior to my move. My background includes dog training, dog walking, pet sitting, and volunteering with animal rescues and shelters, where I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those with special behavioral or medical needs. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Boarding Your dog will receive almost constant care and companionship. I work from home and intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for so each one receives plenty of individual attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog won’t be competing for attention and can truly feel at home. For active dogs, I provide at least one hour of exercise and enrichment each day, tailored to their energy level and routine.

I’ll ensure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and mental stimulation while respecting your home as if it were my own. I’m experienced in administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and accommodating individual routines and preferences. Whether your dog requires extra patience, a structured schedule, or a little extra TLC, I’m happy to provide personalized care. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your dog’s stay or visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, and I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, reliable, and loving experience for your dog. I look forward to meeting you both! I work part time teaching pilates and my partner works from home so we provide constant care and attention. My schedule allows frequent breaks to attend to the dogs with walks, potty breaks and bonding time with other dogs There’s a dog park and trails at our apartment complex and the dog will be with us at all times. With dogs who are reactive on leash I always ensure to create a safe distance from other dogs and do not let dogs off leash unless in an enclosed space

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
