Nik is a true professional who genuinely cares about the pets he’s visiting and has so much knowledge to share! We have a senior mixed breed who is nervous around new people and Nik was patient with us (as we were using this service for the first time) and our girl who was understandably a little anxious about someone new being in her house. He has amazing communication skills and is incredibly reliable.

Chainey is amazing. I’m so glad I found her! Jayce gets a midday visit on my longer work days, and I come home to a less stressed pup. Thank you!

About: Hello, I have an adult cat and a 9 month old golden retriever. I have experience in training my golden, who can do basic and more complex commands (some were taught by me and by a trainer). I am okay with caring for young’s pets, and am open to giving medications or other special care that your fur babies may need :) I enjoy walking my dog and also have a cat stroller if any kitties would like some outside time! I am a full time student and barista, so I work morning shifts most days. I am typically available in the afternoons and evenings to drop-ins or walks! I care for any pet as if it is my own! I enjoy walking my dog at parks or in neighborhoods, and would do the same for other pups. I give love and pets to my cat daily, and would of course treat other cats with the same attention!

Rebeccah has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, Justice and Coco! From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She is attentive, reliable, and truly cares about the well-being of our pups. Justice and Coco are always happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we return, which says everything about the love and attention Rebeccah gives them. She keeps us updated, follows all instructions, and goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable and safe. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone we can trust completely with our dogs. We highly recommend Rebeccah to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!

Walks in morning and nights are a must as well! I have room for crates or beds or whatever your dog prefers and I have several crates of my own if you don’t want the hassle of bringing yours! Any other questions or requests just ask! I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Thank you! I already take care of my own fur babies everyday so adding your pet to the mix is easy! Daily walks are routine, with weather permitting! I have a fenced yard and can crate your dog if needed as well!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since i was a baby! They have always been my bestfriend! I currently have 1 dog (a golden retriever) and 2 cats. And I’ve house sat for many many fiends for long periods of time. In my eyes i don’t see them as just animals but another member to the family. And that’s how i would treat your fur babies! You should feel comfortable leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else when life becomes busy or you just need to get away. and i promise I will give your babies all the love and attention they deserve! I work weekdays but i get off early almost everyday with very flexible hours and I’m off every weekend. My work schedule is pretty flexible. I have loads of free time! I have a fenced in yards. My dog is an inside dog (the house belongs to her lol) i have 2 cats that wants to sit on everyone lap. My dog has full access to the house when I’m home and only the downstairs when I’m gone. The cats roam the house as they please but they love to be by my side more than anything! My dog spends so much time outside playing and gets a long walk every day!

Our kitty was so grateful for having Laura come in and care for her. By the end of the three drop in visits our kitty , who is very reserved around unfamiliar people, was playing with Laura. Laura did all the tasks we asked of her and also grabbed some packages and put inside! She was great!

About: My first two pets were 2 doggies at 9 months old. I had them for 17 years until they left for doggy heaven October 2024 and February 2025… I am not ready to fully commit again quite yet so decided babysitting and loving on others’ furbabies will help the healing. Work from home all week. Will be able to take care of them in home and overnight if needed! I will accomodate to all requests and needs. Will appreciate details such as age, allergies, health, likes and dislikes. Will treat your baby/babies like they are my own. Will walk them as I have a dog friendly neighborhood as well as a newly built dog park. The backyard is also fenced.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, especially cats and dogs, so caring for them feels natural to me. I enjoy spending time with pets, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and will always follow your pet’s routine and care instructions. I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work PRN, which allows me to make my own hours. I occasionally work overnight shifts, and on Mondays and Thursdays I help with shipment at a clothing store from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and can plan around pet care. I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll follow any instructions you leave, including medications, feeding schedules, or special care needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.

Came over before our trip for a meet and greet with the dogs as well as us. Great communication. Consistent and sent updates regularly. We were able to go 6 hours away for the first time in years without worrying if our fur babies were taken care of. Truly a blessing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Franklin on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 379 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
