“Kylie came over for 4 days to check in on my kitty while we were out of town. He warmed up to her pretty quick, which is a good sign. She kept in touch of when she was stopping over and took care of everything I needed, including sending me some photos. 😻 I would definitely request her again.”

About: I’ve been wanting to offer our home on Rover for a while now and I’m super excited to finally be doing so. Our three year old Cavapoo, Sadie, loves other dogs. The only thing your dog may fear in our home are Sadie’s kisses and snuggles. Dogs here get treated like our children… except they don’t have to do chores and nobody makes them eat vegetables. They join our family routine: playtime, couch time, and tons of attention from dog-loving adults and kid volunteers ready for belly rub duty. We’re comfortable with: 🌟 Puppy routines (potty breaks, training, happy chaos) 🧡 Seniors (extra patience, soft blankets, slow strolls) 💊 Meds & special care 🐶 Dogs 40 lbs or lighter Your pup will head home feeling loved, spoiled, and fully adopted by our little “pack.” I’m home full time so I have a very flexible schedule. My husband works from home and is able to help out as well during the day if needed. So we don’t have a fenced in yard, but we are fully capable of taking your pups out on leashes or letting them hang out on a lead in our front yard. We have a medium sized crate if your dog requires any sort of crating. There is a small fenced in dog area near our home that is about a two min walk from our backyard. With your permission, we can let your pup loose in the that area if they want to run around freely. Our dog is trained to let us know when she needs to go outside by tapping bells on our doors. We have bells hanging from our front door and our bedroom door. If your dog is trained with bells, then we have them covered. If not, that’s okay too! We’ll of course still let them outside every couple of hours to go potty and sniff around.☺️

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.
Amanda has been great to work with and she handled the craziness of our two four month old puppies wonderfully! She is great at communicating and provided a nice summary of her visit along with some pictures. We look forward to having Amanda watch the dogs again.

Patricia is an exceptionally warm, friendly, reliable and communicative professional! This was our first booking using her for our medium sized shepherd mix to do drop in visits. She performed all of the drop ins, walks and services on time, and communicated well with us. I will definitely be rebooking with her!!

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
