“I cannot rave enough about Carol. We were out of the country for a week, and she cared for our home and loved and fed our puppies who were thriving. She went up and above anyone we’ve ever used. I totally trust her and would recommend her. She has a beautiful spirit too!”
“Great experience - we will definitely hire her again! She was so thoughtful and patient with our pups who are both high maintenance and have anxiety. She was very reliable and left everything super clean and tidy! Thank you so much Kailyn!!!!”
“Aw! Kimberlee loved my pup and took care of him like he was her own! I love how communicative she is- the pics, the updates ???AWESOME! This is my first time to *ever* leave a review for anything! Couldn’t be more pleased! Thanks sweet girl!!”
“We had Halle stay with our pups many times and she was excellent with them while we were away. She is very reliable and we received lots of updates and pictures. She took great care of our pups and our house. Our dogs were so sad when she moved away. We highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in-home sitter! She was so attentive to our two sweet boys and super communicative during our trip. She gave me peace of mind so I could actually enjoy my trip without any worry. She was also very respectful of our home and even washed the sheets/towels before she left which was so kind. We will definitely be rebooking her for our next trip!!!”
“Jenna was great with our two small dogs. She followed our instructions and made sure they well taken care. More importantly for them, that they were cuddled and petted all they wanted. She kept us informed by sending pictures and videos and letting us know our fur babies were calm and happy. Definitely would use her again.”
“We feel so fortunate to have had Hannah and Matt take such good care of our pet family this weekend. They are kind, detail oriented, and they checked in daily with lovely updates. They left the house even tidier than we left it, and they were an absolute pleasure to coordinate and communicate with. We will absolutely ask them to house/pet sit for us again soon!”
“Sarah was amazing! She house sat for almost 1 week and took great care of my little cat wilson! She texted me everyday with updates, and left my place spotless. She’s definitely my go-to for pet care when I travel, 10/10 recommend!”
“Cinamon is wonderful! I look forward to having her house sit my fur children any time. I had been boarding my 3 pets because I couldn't find someone I felt comfortable with the to watch them when we traveled. Boarding is stressful and having Cinamon at home with them made our time away so much better. She is thorough, kind & great with pets! thank you Cinamon!”
About: I have experience with many animals including dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals! I’m an aspiring veterinarian and a part time veterinary assistant at a mixed practice animal hospital. I have hundreds of hours of experience with my local veterinarian, dog walking at my local animal shelter, and pet sitting. I was trained at the Williamson County Animal Center to work with dogs showing early signs of severe behavioral issues. I have experience with wary, unsure dogs who need time to warm up. I have experience with disabled animals including those with spinal injuries, cerebral hypoplasia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, age related problems, and more. I have raised and cared for several puppies, but I also care for many seniors. I have an 11 year old dog myself! I’m currently a commuting college student who has availability before/after school that allows me to take care of pets in the Franklin, TN area in my free time! I am very vigilant when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of the animals in my care. I treat your babies like my own and am quick to alert you if something feels wrong!
“Taylor was so conscientious and communicative! I really felt like we were in great hands with her - and our Rosie adored her too. We would be happy to book with Taylor again in the future!”
“Zoe did a great job watching our house, Viggo and our guinea pigs while we were away for a week: She watched him last year and did an excellent job sending updates and walking him. Hope to book Zoe again.”
“Janine was a phenomenal dog sitter!! We felt so at ease leaving our dog with her. She was a quick communicator and sent frequent updates with pictures, so we knew our pup was well cared for.”
“Bella is always so wonderful with gory and so easy to work with! Knowing she was there to take care of gory made me feel very secure knowing I left my dog with someone safe and caring.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Grayson was absolutely amazing! She stayed with Piper for the weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is so sweet, an amazing communicator, and sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated. Piper was OBSESSED with her and clearly had the best time! 🥰 She also left my place incredibly clean and took such great care of everything while I was gone. I felt completely at ease knowing Piper was in such good hands. I would 100% recommend Grayson to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs. We will definitely be using her again!! 🤍
Sarah was so kind to help us at last minute notice spend a Friday night with our Frankie! She came over the day before to meet him and get house instructions. Such a sweet girl, very professional and obvious animal lover! Frankie was happy to be in the comfort of his own home! Thank you for your help Sarah!
Cinamon was wonderful! She took great care of Sadie, and Sadie was happy and content when we got home. She checked in with us like we asked and kept us updated while we were away. The house was perfect when we returned, too. We really appreciated how well she took care of everything and would definitely have her watch Sadie again!
Wow…what to say. Samantha was amazing. My Otis has had some difficulties since an attack over a year ago including terror during storms so I was very anxious about leaving him. She not only worked well with him, including giving considerable medication morning and night, but was willing to share ideas with me to help him. The house was spotless, Otis was happy. I was massively relieved! I even told her she was magic! I will absolutely ask her again. Thank you Samantha for helping me and Otis…💟
Hannah (and her husband Matt) are the best house sitters we’ve ever found! 10/10 recommend. They love our animals like they’re own and our babies are so spoiled! We love the pictures they send and they always leave the home as clean as they found it (including washing their linens!!). We will hire them every time that we travel!
Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, sweet, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She even took the time to meet Tuff and Spud ahead of the sitting, which gave us so much peace of mind before we left. She took amazing care of our boys and our home while we were away. We could tell Tuff and Spud were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We highly recommend Colleen and would absolutely use her services again!
Amy was an outstanding sitter for my senior pup! She built trust with him quickly - including with his insulin injections - and I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. Amy was a great communicator, provided wonderful updates, and was a respectful house guest. We look forward to having Amy over again!
Olivia took great care of our pups while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. Communication was excellent and we received updates and photos. On top of that, we came home to a very clean and tidy house, which we truly appreciated. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Christy was amazing!! I was nervous to leave Batman for a full week, but she did an amazing job keeping me updated with plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell that she was providing him with a lot of enrichment, and that he was happy! She was excellent at communicating any updates and was flexible with her schedule. I cannot recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franklin on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Franklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Franklin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Franklin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
