“Justine took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She gave her her medication and played with her a lot! I have no doubts that my cat Effie had a wonderful time with her.”


About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm comfortable with dogs from all walks of life. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.
“Abigail always does a great job. She loves my senior kitty, takes her out for walks, and applies her daily medicine every evening. Abigail also sends me pictures at every visit as keeps me well-informed.”


About: I’m a graduate student looking for a lighthearted side job doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs! I’ve had dogs of my own my entire life and have more than five years of dog-sitting experience. I also worked for two years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of many sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and activity levels. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a graduate student. I have no classes on Fridays, and my weekends are generally free, which gives me flexible availability for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also enjoy getting outside and would love to spend that time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they need. I do not currently offer pet care in my apartment, but I am happy to travel to clients’ homes for dependable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and care.
About: From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics! As a full time student, my weekday availability might mean limited check-ins, but your pet is always the priority! - Monday & Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 7 PM - Thursday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Friday: 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM; after 3:00 PM - Saturday & Sunday: Flexible! I will need a few hours in the morning and some afternoons to volunteer. For pet sitting, I can provide the following: - Feeding and hydration - Exercise and play - Maintenance and cleaning of pets environment (e.g., litter box, crate, etc.) - Medication administration - Light housekeeping (e.g., bringing mail in, watering plants, taking out trash, etc.) - Text/photo/video updates

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a private concierge caregiver for the elderly, so compassion, attentiveness, and high-quality care are at the center of everything I do. When your dog stays with me, they’re not just supervised — they’re truly looked after. I don’t lock dogs away or leave them isolated. They stay in a clean, comfortable home environment and are treated like part of the family from the moment they arrive. I offer premium, one-on-one care, daily structure, safe play, and a calm household. Whether it’s boarding or walking, I focus on building trust, offering consistency, and providing the same level of care I give the people I work with every day. Your pet will be loved, respected, and cared for with genuine attention — the way you’d want, and the way they deserve. My lifestyle is perfect for dogs who love consistency, attention, and plenty of breaks. I’m in and out throughout the day, which allows for regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours. I’m always home every morning and evening, and your pup can expect daily walks as part of our routine. Weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of time for play, exercise, and quality companionship. Your dog will never feel alone or overlooked—they’ll be included in the flow of my day and cared for with the same attention I give my own family. Your dog will be welcomed into a clean, quiet, privately-owned ranch home with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe play, potty breaks, and fresh-air time. I treat every pet like part of my family, not like a kennel number. Dogs have access to my entire home, including cozy lounging spaces, supervised outdoor time, and a calm, relaxed environment.
About: I’m a reliable, caring, and energetic dog sitter who loves making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to giving every dog the same care and attention I’d want for my own pet. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, attention, cuddles, and photo updates so you always know your pup is in great hands! 🐾 I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also give lots of attention, patience, and affection because I know every dog has a different personality and needs. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel relaxed knowing their dog is happy and in good hands. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or their owner’s home. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions the owner provides. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. In the client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pet receives consistent care, attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners always know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I love all pets, big and small! I’ve pet sat for family and friends (from puppies to tripod cats) over the last few years. I don’t have any pets of my own so I always enjoy meeting new dogs/cats :) I work 9-5 (mon-friday) and typically work from home once a week. I’m available when I wfh, weeknights and weekends! Would love to use some of my free time to take care of your pets. For overnight stays, I’ available to stay at your house. I know every pet has their own personality, routine and quirks - I do my best to stick to what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your care instructions and treat your pet the way I’d want someone to treat my own. Whether that’s a long walk, trip to the park, pup cup or being a house hippo, I’m happy to accommodate.
About: I’ve had friends and family members rely on me to board, walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am very attentive and have been around pets big and small since I was born! I am currently graduated and working full time! I typically have off on Fridays and weekends. I work alternating hours so evenings and mornings are possible. Let me know little things your fur baby likes or dislikes! Every animal is different. I will enjoy playing outside with your furry friend no matter the weather!

About: I grew up in a household with dogs, cats, and many other animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life. I recently worked in a vet clinic for many months, which gave me greater exposure to animal health and responsible pet care. I also cared for a senior cat for many years and gained experience managing medical and nutritional needs, administering medications, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I currently have all day on most days to do to drop-ins and dog walks! I am available after 4:30 for house sitting, depending on what your pups’ needs are. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow detailed instructions, including medication, feeding, and other special care.
“Kaleigh was ready and available to get me setup with the dates I needed, even with short notice. My cats were loved and cared for exactly to my instructions and even helped the turtle even though that was optional. I received clear pictures of each cat per visit which gave me piece of mind. I do plan to re-book with her for our next trip.”
About: My personal zoo started when I was just a teenager! Growing up we had 4 felines, two of which are now in their late teens! Hazel, our beautiful chocolate lab, crossed the rainbow bridge when she was 13.5. My mother ingrained a deep love and compassion for animals in me. Professionally I have worked with exotic species ranging from reptiles, macropods, and even primates. My last year has encompassed working with more domestic species like dogs, cats, and small animals, in a shelter organization. Here I have learned fear-free and stress-free handling, body language, and enrichment for all four-legged companions. The behaviors of dogs I have worked with include, but are not limited to: fear aggression, separation anxiety, resource guarding, and leash reactivity. My own Beau suffers from leash reactivity so it is a behavior I am very comfortable handling and managing. Currently, I have a leopard gecko, African Pygmy hedgehog, senior cat, and senior dog! I’d be more than happy to build a loving bond and trust both with yourself and your companion! I am currently working full-time in animal care. My schedule is primarily first shift so I will best cater to those who work the long grueling second shifts! I also work rotating weekends so a couple of weeks a month I am available on weekends! I will practice stress-free handling for all companions involved! My services can rang anywhere from quick potty breaks for a breath of fresh air, litter scooping, to longer walks to get dogs out of the home for some exercise.
“Sandy was awesome with my husband being in the hospital. I did not know until a few hours before if I needed her or not and under the circumstances, she was very supportive encouraging and helped at a drop of a hat. I came home yesterday morning after she had seen the dogs and she left a little card for them With two dog toys, saying from grandma Sandi. And a short amount of time she truly has become that. I also noticed she brought her own towel to wipe their feet off with in the mud Thank you Sandy for being so awesome and so kind encouraging and loving to my pups while I was away.”

About: Me and my husband dog sit together and have had dogs growing up and currently have one, I work at dog daycare/boarding facility and have been there for over 3 years now.

About: I’ve grown up my entire life surrounded by active, energetic dogs, so I know firsthand how much exercise, attention, and companionship they need to be happy and healthy. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply spending time together, I genuinely enjoy keeping dogs active and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away — and to make sure they have plenty of fun along the way! I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and give them the same care I’ve always given my own dogs. I work part-time at the Costco Tire Center, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide quality care for pets. I also have a lovable 2.5-year-old Irish Doodle who keeps me active and is a big part of my daily routine. We enjoy going on walks, visiting dog parks, and playing together. Pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle, and I enjoy having dogs around. I’m happy to work walks, playtime, and companionship into my day while making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, and get some exercise safely. Inside, I have an open living room that’s always set up and ready for playtime, relaxation, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any other care they need while they’re in my home or visiting a client’s home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Nicole was a wonderful sitter for our 4 cats. Throughout our week away, Nicole kept me updated with daily reports and photos of our cats looking very happy and relaxed. She spent lots of time playing with them everyday which they clearly loved. In addition she watered my patio plants. I recommend Nicole whole heartedly to anyone who loves their pets and values their happiness.

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.
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!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
