“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!”
“Was able to accommodate a last-minute booking due to unexpected surgery and was super-accommodating over the weekend hospital stay updates. The pups looked super happy in every pic! Thanks so much.”
“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.”
“Carly is the best sitter for my two cats. She is so wonderful at caring for my cats,. I can leave my cats and know that they get the attention the need while I am on vacation.”
About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!
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 reliable and communicates in a timely manner. This was our first time using Rover and Shawn came daily for 2 weeks for our cats. Our cat litter box and their dishes were as clean as we left them upon our return. We would definitely use Shawn again.”
“Kelsey was incredible. First she was extremely flexible as I changed my plans on her many times! I booked out in advance and she followed up with me beforehand. My cats love her and loved to play and be pet! She handled my entry instructions great and I felt very safe leaving my cats in her care and my apartment open to her! I met her in person as well she is so kind. I highly recommend!”
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.
“Leslie is a compassionate animal lover who provided outstanding care for my cat. She always had great communication, providing plenty of adorable photos and thorough updates. She is detail-oriented, going above and beyond to make sure all of our pet and home-related needs are met. Knowing I had someone so genuine and reliable looking after my pet and home was a huge peace of mind. I came back home to a happy, satisfied cat and a clean space with everything left in place. It's such a comfort and relief to find such a trustworthy and exceptionally amazing pet sitter. I would highly recommend her for any animal care needs!”
About: I’ve handled pets for 10 years with compassion, warmth, and love like they’re my own. Friends and family have relied on me plenty of times to take care of their fur babies; whether it be a walk, a quick check-in, or sitting for a night. My personality adds comfort and ease to any family. I currently work remote full-time Monday-Friday 7am-3pm, so any needs after 3pm, I am your caregiver! If a quick visit is needed on a lunch hour, that is always no problem as well. I am free all day most weekends for any pet needs, including boarding or sitting. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly. We have a brand new, fenced-in dog park. There is a huge unfenced yard where dogs can be taken out on a leash. My apartment can accommodate most things such as a crate, toys, food, and other animal necessities.
“Kelsey was fantastic with my nervous pup. She gave him the space he needed, but got him to eat dinner, and he even relaxed on the couch while I was gone, which is rare for him. She kept me updated all night and was very communicative. I'm looking forward to using Kelsey's services in the future!”
About: I am a huge animal lover especially with dogs. I treat them as a part of my family and have cared for dogs from a very young age. I have now been on Rover for 3 years and have had nothing but successful boarding experiences where each dog leaves happy and can't wait to come back! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a lot of flexibility and time for dogs. My children love to help out with the caretaking and giving attention to our furry guests. I have a fenced in yard. I have a dog of my own who is very friendly. I also have a 15, 13, 8 and 4 year old who love dogs and will give plenty of attention to any dog in my home.
“Ashley was incredible to work with! She was quick to respond, communicated clearly and remained flexible with scheduling. Ashley sent me photos of Oliver and shared how the visit went. He clearly adored her from the photos! She also brought in a package that was delivered. This was my first Rover experience. I'm so grateful to have connected with Ashley! She will definitely be my go-to when I have to travel. Thank you, Ashley!”
About: My name is Allison, I am 24 years old and love animals. I work full time and am looking for extra work taking care of animals. I have walked multiple dogs in my neighborhood since I was 10 years old, so i have about 10 years of experience walking all kinds and sizes of dogs. I also have about 3 years of experience house sitting and watching over dogs and cats. I will walk your dog as far or a short as you or your dog prefers. I will play with and give your pet lots of love. I also have grown up with 2 dogs and have my own cat and have family members with many more pets. I hope to give your pet lots of love. Currently, my schedule is very flexible and I am almost always available every day during the week for a few hours and the weekends as well. If I am to take care of your pet in your home I will be very respectful of your space and leave it just as it was when I arrived.

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.
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!!

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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
