“Absolutely amazing!! Kaylene was able to step in very last minute after another person cancelled on the day of booking! Kaylene looked after Chase fantastically and sent some lovely pictures and updates throughout the day. She is so lovely and we have already rebooked for another visit!”
“Christy was amazing! She did drop ins with lots of pictures and I came home to a very happy dog. I highly recommend Christy and will definitely request her services again.”
“Great experience- kept our cats on their routine and sent pics! Was flexible about our return time changing and made sure to check in after our return. Highly recommend Karen!”
“I would definitely recommend Joseph!My dogs really liked him .I asked him to walk my big dog before 5:30 am.My past dog walker thought it was too early.But my Apollo is afraid of cars and doesn’t like other dogs.So that is the time we walk him.Joseph went above and beyond even coming a little earlier.Great at communicating and sending pictures!Thanks Joseph our family appreciates you!!”
“We rarely leave reviews but had such a wonderful experience with Henriette that we had to let others know! We have 2 cats, Opie and Owen, who are typically very weary of new people and like to hide (because cats!). The hiding issue is a challenge as one of our cats takes medications for his heart. Thankfully, Henriette was so attentive and won our cats over immediately. They came out and greeted her each time she stopped by for visits. I'm certain they miss her now that our trip is over! We always worry Owen will miss doses of his medications as he is finicky but Henriette was so patient with him and ensured he took them. She gave us updates and sent pictures with every visit. It was a huge relief knowing our boys were so well cared for while we were away. Their eating area, water, used bowls, litterbox were so clean! My only concern now is that Henriette won't be available for all our future trips! So grateful to find her! Stellar in every possible way!”
“Michael was great everything was done as requested. Even threw a last minute request in and he was able to adjust and complete the check in. Highly suggest hiring him and i wiill be using him from here on out.”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals throughout my life. I have had a dog and a cat and I’m comfortable around all animals. I have a gentle personality and get along with all pets! I have plenty of time during my weeks to play with pets! I am currently looking for a music industry job in the area and would love to help out the community in the meantime! I am comfortable playing with, caring for, and interacting with all animals. I have a fenced in yard and always love the company of a furry friend.
“Samantha was amazing. She was very responsive and proactive. She easily won my trust with my fur babies. I plan to continue using her services whenever I’m out of town.”
“Kylie was great with our kitties and left our home as if no messy kitties lived there! We were nervous to leave them as one had not been feeling well, but Kylie made us comfortable leaving knowing our kitty would be well cared for. Thank you Kylie for your fabulous care of our kitties will we were away.”
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!
“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.”
“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).”
“Cheryl is fantastic! Prior to our trip, she stopped by to meet our cats and learn their schedule and preferences. We have 2 cats and one has a congenital heart condition (HCM) who takes medication twice a day. He can be a challenge to medicate but Cheryl was so patient and managed to get him to take his meds every single time. She also gave lots of attention, play time, and really went the extra mile to form a bond with our boys. I know she made them feel safe and well cared for as they were looking around for her after we got home 😂 She sent updates with eveey visit and really great photos (which we loved). Everything was so clean as well (our cats are messy!) Will definitely book her for our future trips. 10/10. Absolutely book with her if she is available!”
About: I’ve had pets for almost all my life. Dogs seem to have an easy time accepting me and many of my friends are surprised by their dogs quick acceptance. I am very calm and dogs feel safe around me I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and needs. I am in good health myself and can handle dogs of all sizes. I am retired and working occasionally, usually 9-5. I have no set routine and can be available for drop in care easily. I can also be available for dropping your dog off at grooming and picking up later. I have 2 small dogs of my own and will treat yours as I do mine. I will make sure that your home is clean and safe for your pets and all your instructions are followed for their care.
“Lila was fantastic! My cats are normally shy and scared of strangers, but she got them to come and play! She is practically a cat whisperer. Will be rebooking her for my next trip.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, and it’s something I genuinely love doing! I’m definitely the person who gives dogs a little too much attention, talks to them like they’re people, and gets way too excited about seeing them! A lot of my dog-sitting opportunities have come through word of mouth, so I’ve had the chance to care for all kinds of dogs and get to know their different personalities. I love making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and spoiled while their people are away, and I always treat them like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine! I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and whatever care they need throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to make them a priority and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! I treat every home and pet as if they were my own! I’ll keep a close eye on your pets, follow their normal routines, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ll always follow any specific instructions you leave for me, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or their bedtime routine. I’ll also make sure to keep your home clean and treat it with the same care and respect I would my own.

Thank you so much, Shane, for taking such great care of our cats, Mira and Luke! She completed 4 drop-in visits over two days and was incredibly reliable. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent, which made us feel completely at ease. Both Mira and Luke loved her! We would highly recommend Shane and will definitely ask her to watch them again next time.
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!
Lauren has been such a huge help for me when I leave town with my sweet kitty… she genuinely cares for her and shows up when she is supposed to and I’m grateful for the little extras she does for me if I ask, and when i don’t, like watering my outside plants/flowers and brining in my packages. I highly recommend her!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklin is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,245 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
