“This was my first time leaving our puppy Fritz and first time using Rover. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Adrienne! I appreciated the daily check ins and pics/videos and I could tell that Fritz was happy and content and well cared for. I would recommend Adrienne and will use her again the next time we go out of town without the pup.”
“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.”
“Nicole was amazing! Watched our pets/apartment over the weekend and did a great job. She sent updates with photos and videos and did a great job giving the cats mental enrichment. Would recommend Nicole’s pet sitting services to anyone!”
“Patricia was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures of our pup throughout her stay. She was very responsive and kept great care of our dog and home while we were away.”
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.
“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!”
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!
“The love and care she showed my angel while I was gone did not go unnoticed! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter and want peace of mind that your dog will not only get the care they need but also the attention.”
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.
About: I’ve done overnight dog sitting for the past 3 years. Also I grew up in a household full of dogs and loved taking them on walks. I am currently working first shift starting at 8:30am to 4:30pm and able to walk dogs anytime after that. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. I currently have a 4 year old german shepherd that I just recently adopted. I take him on daily walks on a leash along with treats.
“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”
“Keisha deserves a perfect rating for the great care she provided for our dog and the house was in absolutely perfect shape! I can’t say enough about how great she was! When we got home she left our pet with a soothing pet sounds screen saver on the TV. It was such a nice way to be welcomed home!!”
“Excellent communication from the start. Came for a greet and meet and easy to be with and obvious knew dogs well. Ended up a friend of mine knows Alissa so a double excellent reference. She communicated with me constantly throughout the stay. My dog is a senior and she did well with him and when I returned he kept roaming into where she was staying in my place. Would have back again as she is available.”
“Maya was so great with our two dogs! She’s incredibly trustworthy, kind, helpful, and communicative. Her dog, Mello, is also such a gem. We really appreciated all her help over the long weekend, and would rebook in a heartbeat!”
“Stephen and Wipawee watched my dog and my sister’s dog at my house while we went away on a family vacation. The dogs were well cared for, had plenty of attention and were taken great care of! Couldn’t have asked for better sitters.”
“We LOVED Abigail! It was so comforting to know our cat was getting the snuggles he would normally get when we are home- we hope to see more of Abigail in the future!”
“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.”

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!

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
