“Adrianne is amazing! She was communicative, asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, and ensured meds were delivered to a picky eater. We hope to have her back for future vacations!”

“Patricia was very attentive and detail oriented, and she made sure to cover all of her bases when preparing to care for our pup. She is experienced and professional. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to others!”

“Elizabeth was absolutely phenomenal. Leaving my dog for the first time with someone I didn’t know was nerve wrecking however Elizabeth put all my nerves at ease. Our 9 month old rambunctious golden adored her. She sent pictures, updates, and did everything possible to make it the best weekend for our girl. I could not recommend someone better to watch your best friend! We are having her back in a few weeks and I feel so great knowing Elizabeth will be at our house. If she’s available, book her!!! You won’t regret it!”

“Quazaye and our dog Deetz connected the first time they meet. She had a definite concern for our dog. We were out of the area for four days. During that time we were comfortable that Quazaye was taking care of our pet. After we arrived home I noticed that Deetz was laying by the front door apparently waiting for Quazaye a sure sign that she had taken very good care of him. We would definitely consider using the services of Rover and Quazaye in the future if needed.”

“Alexandra was fantastic! She took very good care of our fur baby, Toco. Alexandra provided frequent updates on Toco’s care, which helped us relax and enjoy our family reunion. I’m excited to have found someone local to utilize in the future. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a mature, responsible animal lover to take care of your fur babies. Thank you! Alexandra.”

About: As a little kid, I grew up with a dog and then got two dogs of my own as an adult. I raised all my dogs from puppies all the way through to end of life. I have dog sat for family and friends as well so I have experience with many breeds and conditions of care. I am currently available most weekends for whatever your fur babies need and I have some flexibility with my schedule during the week so I may be able to help out! I have a large (unfenced) yard for dogs to play in. I have a crate if needed. I have a walking path nearby to take long walks.
“Keisha was amazing with our 10 year old dog! This was our first time using a sitter and it went so smoothly. We got tons of pictures updates and Keisha left the house in tip top shape. I highly recommend working with her! Best of the best!”

“Nicole is awesome. She sent us pictures and kept us posted on how our pups were doing. She is definitely getting a call back from us for future pup services. Highly recommended sitter 🤩”

About: As fur momma and a human momma , I have so much love to give ! I grew up with animals of all kinds from hamsters,iguanas, cats and dogs . My grandparents black lab even put me in the box with her puppies when I was a kid. That's a whole lot of trust! I currently live in a dog friendly home with 2 dogs of my own. I have experience with puppies,kittens, adult dogs,senior dogs and everyone in between. I am available any evening after 530 pm until 10 pm. I am available most Tuesdays any time between 9 am and 2:30 pm. I am free every weekend! I live in an extremely dog friendly apartment complex. All of my niehbors have pets so they don't mind fur babies. I have lots of walking trails. We have a dog park and a nature center where my pups love to socialize and excercise. There are lots of did friends to meet but there are alot of areas to walk in nature if your dog prefers to be in a more calm setting. My dogs love friends! My doggos love a good routine after breakfast we go for a walk , they enjoy their crates as comfort. They enjoy calming treats and deer antlers and of course . When I'm home I take them on a mid day walk or we play on the obstacle course in our on site fenced in dog park open 24/7. We take our evening walk around before bed time and they cozy in for the night.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care our three small dogs received from Abigail! They were clearly loved and well looked after — happy and relaxed when we returned. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs can be a handful, but they were calm and content thanks to the patient, attentive care. Absolutely a **5-star experience** — we’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Brianna was a very attentive dog sitter to our high energy pup! She was also very good about letting us know when Sloane acted up so that we could help her handle the situation! Such a great house guest! She even stripped the bed!”

“Dominique did an exceptional job house sitting my two large dogs for 3 nights. His communication was consistent and reliable. I appreciated his attention to detail for each dog and their unique quirks. My home was just how I left it upon my return. Water bowl was full and my pups were happy! I fully recommend Dominique and have already booked another sitting with him.”
“Jordan was fantastic! She did a great job housesitting and taking care of our dog and other animals while we were away. Our dog is very anxious when separated from us, and hasn't done well boarding in the past. This was our first experience with a sitter in home, and Jordan made the process super easy! Winston loved her, Jordan kept us up to date with regular communication...I can't say enough good things! We'll definitely re-book with her in the future! Thanks Jordan!”


“Maya was AWESOME! We needed a last minute Rover to stay at our house and watch our 2 pups for a night and she was such a good fit for the job. Super communicative & sweet — we always received the cutest pupdates. Our dogs were 100% in great hands & we’ll definitely be booking with Maya in the future! 😊”

“Carolina was super respectful of all of our instructions for caring for the cat and dog. She sent many pictures and videos along with detailed updates. We have no question that they were well taken care of and they were happy when she was here.”

“Hannah stayed in our home and watched our dog for a week. He is an older dog and needs medicine twice a day plus some extra TLC getting up and down steps or even the couch. She was wonderful! She was always in communication with me and sent pictures all the time which really put my mind at ease. She took such great care of him and our house too. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends for years because I actually enjoy the 'tricky' stuff. From helping my own senior dog with bladder issues to winning over an abused, reactive Rottweiler, I have a lot of heart for pets that need a little extra patience. I’m also totally comfortable with bearded dragons and cats! I’m used to walking dogs in areas without fences, so I’m very careful on the leash and always keep safety first. I’ve had to clean up after bad sitters so I'll make sure your house stays spotless and your pets stay happy while you’re gone! Animals are a huge part of my daily life, so I build my schedule around making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available Monday-Sunday with Flexible Hours and am always happy to help with last-minute requests or holiday bookings when you're in a pinch. Which is perfect for seniors needing extra potty breaks or reactive pups who need a calm, un-rushed walks. I make your pet's routine my top priority every single day! Safety is Always my top priority, but keeping your pets happy is a close second! Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, dog, or bearded dragon (exc. I stick strictly to the routine you’ve set so they feel totally secure while you're gone. Since I’m used to walking pups in areas without fences, I’m always extra careful to double-check leashes and harnesses before we head out the door. I’m also a bit of a neat freak so I’ll make sure your home is pet-proofed and leave it even cleaner than I found it. I’m a big believer in open communication, so expect plenty of photo updates of your best friends (scales or fur!) so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands!
“Vesna was great with my guy Coach! Kept him super active and got him all tired out for me for when I got home from my trip. She kept me updated on how things were going and sent pics of my guy who I of course was missing. Definitely will be booking with her again!”

“Melissa was a HUGE help, stepping in over the holidays for a long house-sitting service when a previous sitter had to cancel last-minute. She is personable and communicative, shared lots updates during the stay, and took good care of our house. Our dog and cat were in great hands, and it felt wonderful to come home to relaxed happy pets. Happy to recommend!”

About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Alex did an awesome job caring for our cats and our home while we were away for almost 2 weeks. Sometimes our cats get anxiety when we go out of town but I could tell our cats were comfortable with her when she came for the initial visit before we left and all 3 cats seemed to be happy and content when we arrived back home which was pleasant to come home to. We highly recommend Alex for overnight visits!

FAQs for House Sitting - Franklin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franklin on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,474 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Franklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Franklin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Franklin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
