“Elizabeth was a fantastic in-home sitter! Our dog had a great weekend and was very well taken care of. Elizabeth was extremely responsive, responsible, and sent lots of picks of our dog!”
“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!”
“Emily was great at communicating with us the entire stay, and we could tell from all her updates and pictures that our pups loved having her around. Our flight ended up getting delayed because of the blizzard rolling through Wisconsin this past weekend, and Emily was able to help make sure our pups were let out and fed while we figured out how to get back to Milwaukee. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone else looking for expert and friendly care for their pups on Rover. Thank you again!”
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.
“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!”
“Amanda was an amazing in-house sitter for our dog. This was our first time booking on Rover, and our little guy can be a handful sometimes, but Amanda immediately put our worries at ease. Our meet & greet helped acclimate everyone and once we were on our trip, I appreciated the daily updates with photos. When our flight was delayed, she was extremely flexible about staying another night in case we couldn't make it back. The communication was fantastic and she went above and beyond with our dog's care. She is also a very polite house guest. I couldn't recommend Amanda enough and I would 100% book with her in the future.”
“Heidi was amazing. She was very accommodating in terms of finding a time for a meet and greet. When my son decided he wanted to entertain her and have her attention as I showed her around, she was a great sport. She was super non-judgmental about the state of our house, and put me at ease. She was great with our pets while we were gone, and sent adorable photos. When we got home, I found that she had washed all of the odd dishes we hadn’t had a chance to wash before we left. She also shoveled the walkway! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again, next time we go on vacation.”
“Michelle took wonderful care of our dog while we were on vacation! We met with Michelle a couple times before leaving and she made us feel at ease that our dog would be in good hands. Michelle checked in with daily updates and gave our dog her daily meds We highly recommend Michelle and will definitely use her again. She is the best! Also, this was our first time using Rover and the app made it all so easy!”
“Alissa was great! She really came through for us at the last minute so we were able to enjoy our concert stress free! She kept us updated, and was prompt with her communication! The boys loved her!”
“Alexy watched my puppy and cat for a few days and gave him constant attention and activity while keeping me updated with frequent pictures. My puppy is very energetic and still going through training and Alexy was accomdating and understanding. Returned home to the house in great shape. I would definitely have Alexy watch my pets again.”
“I am a repeat consumer of Sarah’s pet sitting. She is phenomenal. For this house sitting visit, I was out of the country and there was a snow storm back home. I was super concerned, but didn’t need to be. Sarah still made every visit and the sleep overs punctual and full of fun for my dog. Sent tons of pictures and details notes. Recommend Sarah hands down!”
“Abigail is a terrific pet sitter! She was thorough, conscientious and kind, and went above and beyond while caring for my elderly cat Sammy. She showed true concern, compassion, and love for my cat and kept her warm, fed, and happy. Abigail was also able to apply Sammy’s medication daily. She did extra things too like cleaning up the kitchen area, taking out the trash, and watering the plants. Abigail was also very generous with her time. You can rest easy if you hire Abigail to care for your pets! I will be using her again when I travel out of town.”
“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
“She was exceptional with my baby, Molly. Molly is normally extremely slow to warm up to people but she immediately took to Genevieve. She kept me updated with pictures and texts, followed my instructions, and most of all kept my girl safe from a murderous wasp and loneliness while I rudely went on vacation without her. There’s nothing better than a cat sitter who loves your girl as much as you do.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Alexandra was a pleasure to work with and took excellent care of our dog Rocky. We received great updates while she house sat for us, and we came back to a spotless home and happy pup. Would absolutely have her house sit for us again, and recommend her to others!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franklin on Rover is $34.97 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,395 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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
