“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This is our second time booking Megan to check in on our cat while we’re on vacation, and once again, everything was perfect! Very communicative, plenty of updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to book again!”
About: I haven taken care of dogs, cats, and even turtles since I was 14! I've helped out my neighbors with their pets since I was a little kid. I've walked, fed, sat, and checked in plenty of times for dogs and cats! One thing about me to know, is I will always make sure that lil fur baby has fresh water everyday as well, haha! Hydration station!! I currently am not working so I am free most days and nights! The main thing I have been doing is taking care of everyone around me and I would love to do the same with every and anybody I can. I definitely am more awake towards the end of the day/night! I am always here to communicate and see what works best for everyone though! :~) I've had cats my entire life and have walked/fed/house sat many many dogs in my life! Cats as well. I mean I just care about animals a lot. I think they deserve all the love, safety, and compassion in the world. I have always always had a connection to animals. They tend to get comfortable with me pretty quickly and I get comfortable with them even quicker haha!! I have always kept fur babies safe and feel loved.
“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!”
About: ive always had a special love for animals. any animal i encounter i treat how i would treat my own. i have lots of love to give and can’t wait to see your little fur babies. i’m currently working from home on my own schedule so i can take care of your babies at anytime of the day. available for boarding all week I have a dog park in my apartment complex with plenty of room for your babies to run free. i also have a dog of my own to keep your baby company while staying with us
“Jen is amazing!! My puppy loved Jen from the first day. She had coordinated with me (new puppy Mom) a plan to complete his house training. She’s dependable, compassionate, and obviously loves her furry clients. She would be more of a 10/5!! She’s a life saver!”
“Kat and Joe were wonderful with Abbey! You can really tell how much they love dogs and enjoy what they do. I received updates and pictures and was so happy with how the visit went. Will definitely be calling them again!”
About: I am friendly, reliable, and honest. I love animals and hope to find some to take care of regularly so I can build a relationship with them and their humans. I watch my kids on weekdays and work evenings and weekends. I am looking for extra ways to supplement my income, and this seems like a “do what you love” situation. I walk my dog, take him out for bathroom breaks, do monthly grooming sessions, change cat litter, and occasionally administer medicine, as needed. I am very comfortable around dogs, cats, and other animals.
“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.”
“Emily is great with my dog Louise and was super helpful by booking on short notice. She’s communicative, reliable, accommodating and is thorough with letting me know how the visit went. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, and highly recommend!”
“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’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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Christy is the best! She watched my cats while I was out of town, and kept them safe through a very inconveninent apartment maintenance issue. She went above and beyond, meeting with me before I left, keeping my space tidy by cleaning and vacuuming litter while I was away, and watering my houseplants. Very trustworthy and leaves detailed updates with lots of pictures.
Emily was the best! She helped me out last minute and was so kind, responsive, and patient-even navigating the confusing building access without any trouble. Benny is 16, and it meant so much knowing he was in such caring hands. She made the whole weekend easier, and I would absolutely book her again. I can’t recommend her enough!
Brianne was a real hit at our house! All dogs (even our incredibly anxious dog) liked and listened to her instantly! Brianne was also an excellent communicator with people. We really enjoyed having her care for our pets! We trust her. We will definitely call her again.
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 $20 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 4,232 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 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
