“Abby is a dog whisperer! She’s a kind human who was super easy to coordinate with. She followed all my instructions and my dogs were very comfortable with her. I’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Macon was amazing with our two kitties. While our one cat is very social and loves attention, our other cat is very shy and doesn’t trust people easily. By the end of our trip, our shy kitty was all snuggled up and loving the attention. Macon sent photos and a check-in update during each visit. Feels good to know our kitties are in safe hands while we are away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have multiple years of experience sitting, walking, and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes around Nashville. I have even worked with celebrity dogs! I am comfortable with puppy training and senior care. I’m available all day on weekends, late afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and early weekday mornings before I head to work! I am very active and love letting pets get all their energy out! My heart is to treat your pet with kindness and intentionality to meet your pet’s individual needs. I want to work with you to ensure that I am offering the best form of care and customer service!
“Brianne came to visit our cat ahead of time and asked thorough questions to be prepared to watch her! Our cat was a little rude to her but she let us know and sent pictures too. Will book her again!”
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life and my enjoyment for being active alongside a fur friend has extended into my now Dad years! Specialize in big dogs as I know from personal experience of having a 60lb+ pup that they can be a handful sometimes. I started this service 3 years ago as a stay at home dad with my 1yo daughter in tow. Now that she’s off to full-time school I’m more available during the midday each week. I treat each dog I help care for in the same way that we treat our own, while following your instructions for what’s best for your pet. I enjoy taking them for some exercise, belly rubs, enrichment and making sure they have all the snacks they need.
“We love Mabry!!!! We feel so comfortable with her and she cares for our pup like she would he own. It gives us so much confidence going away on a trip knowing she’s taking care of our dog. Thank you so so so much!!! Mabry you’re the best!”
“Joseph and Daniella did an outstanding job during their visit with our two labs! They treated the girls to a nice long walk and a fun time back at the house! They were a pleasure to communicate with, enthusiastic, and very thorough. Looking forward to welcoming them back!”
“Megan took great care of my cat when I booked some last minute drop-in visits over the holiday. She was communicative and sent cute pictures every day! I can tell she genuinely loves pets. I would absolutely hire her again!”

Emily is absolutely amazing when she watches my two cats! They like to hide and gave her a scare once, but she always makes sure she has eyes on them and bribes them with treats. I try to make sure I always am able to book her specifically cause I know I’ll get a detailed update!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Franklin on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
