About: For the last 10 years I have been the go to pet-sitter for my family, friends and neighbors, and I can be for you also! I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all kinds. I have taken care of itty bitty baby kittens and helped raised them up to go into their forever homes. I spent time working at a doggie daycare, where I gained some experience administering medications such as pills and eyedrops/eardrops. I, myself have three cats Roo, Gus and Noelle I am currently doing pet care full-time, and I can work with your schedule. I can be flexible, just let me know when you need me! With my own cats and I strive to take care of them the best I can, they get the best food, the best water, a lot of play and so many cuddles. I will take care of your babies as if they are my own, while also also sticking to your standards and routine.
“I truly cannot recommend her enough! She took such amazing care of my dog, Frankie, and went above and beyond in every way. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Frankie and wasn’t just checking off a list of tasks. She even took Frankie on a long walk that wasn’t expected, just because she wanted to, and I know Frankie loved every minute of it. Coming home knowing my dog had been so well cared for meant everything to me. Frankie can be particular, and I don’t trust many people with her, but after this experience, I honestly don’t want anyone else watching her if she’s available. She treated Frankie like her own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and understand the love, patience, and attention they need to be happy and healthy. Over the past several years, I’ve also dog sat for friends, neighbors, and family members, caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication if needed, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give both you and your furry family member peace of mind with quality, compassionate care. I recently graduated high school and currently work a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, fresh water, walks, and lots of affection. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: My family has dog sat for all sorts of different dogs. Puppies, seniors, energetic, or really anything! I love walking dogs and just having fun with them! I’m a firefighter so I work a rotating schedule of 24 hour shifts. So I get a lot of days off with a lot of availability. I have no pets of my own. Can give my full energy to walking and caring for your dogs whenever the schedules may work out.
“Mary is a great communicator - she let me know when she was at my house and sent pics during her visit. Overall, she was a caring, attentive friend to my furries! I would absolutely partner with Mary again. 😊”
“Cindi took great care of my two cats although they stayed well hidden! Very responsible and great communication. It was a one time drop in visit. I already have her booked for future dates.”
“Fantastic experience for my first Rover visit! Kaylan took the time to keep me informed and that made me enjoy some family time without worrying about the pups at home. Ill definitely use Kaylan next time!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing. She was adaptive to our animals. This was my first rover experience and I wouldn’t think twice of using the service again; hoping for Lauren. She was amazing, responsive and professional!”
“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: Lover of all animals. We have one doggo & 3 cats right now and have had 2 others dogs over the past 20 years !! Experience giving meds daily (pills & insulin) and great with walking dogs. I’m in sales and work locally. Schedule can be pretty flexible. I have no problem working my schedule around your fur babies. Mornings, days and evenings will work based on my schedule. I have a fenced in back yard which is great for our dog Chance. I’m very comfortable taking all dogs for walks, playing in the back yard and feedings as needed.
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.☺️
“Shawn is a very reliable and wonderful sitter. He spent quality time with our very needy, geriatric cat. We feel so much better that he stops in. We definitely would recommend him,”

About: I have been taking care of dogs almost my whole life. Whether it was my family dog or checking in on others dogs while their family went on vacation. I do work full time M-F 7:30am till 6pm at night. I am typically free on the weekends outside of schooling which is only a couple hours a day. By caring for pets in my clients home, I first take them outside to do their business right away and stretch their legs. I always make sure there is water in their bowl and food as explained by my client. If taking on walks I try to stay local unless the family has a preferred route the dog likes.

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.

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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Franklin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
