“Amanda has been great to work with and she handled the craziness of our two four month old puppies wonderfully! She is great at communicating and provided a nice summary of her visit along with some pictures. We look forward to having Amanda watch the dogs again.”
About: As a former track and cross country athlete, I love long, fast paced walks. I also have a stubborn mini dachshund, so I have patience with slower dogs as well.😂 Clients are able to request locations for walks if desired. I offer walks on forest trails, the Greendale Village, or in your neighborhood! I am currently working part time. I will be able to take on more and longer walks in the summertime since I will not have my online college classes going on. You can expect many pictures of your pup on their walk. If your dog is friendly, I also have a mini dachshund that would love to keep your dog company on walks!
“Kailey helped me out with a last minute booking and did an amazing job. She took great care of our high energy German Shepherd. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She has very good communication, and left a very detailed report after the drop in with our dog. I can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“Jackie was wonderful with my animals. I typically have her daughter Elizabeth take care of them but I sprung this trip on her last minute and she already had plans so her mom was nice enough to take this booking and save my trip. Thank you!”
“Alex was great! We knew our cats were well taken care of and got lots of love while we were gone. She did a great job with everything, including their complicated feeding routine. We also appreciate the updates and pictures while we were gone. Will definitely book her again!”
“This is the first time we have used this type of service and we were very hesitant to try it. But after meeting with Patricia we were convinced it was a good choice. Our dogs took to her right away and eased any concerns we had. The pictures and report cards were great!! Next time we need someone to help out with our furry kids we will be contacting Patricia again.”
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 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.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals from fish to lizards. I take of care my own dogs and cat currently and babysit for family and friends. I currently have the summers off due to being a teacher. This allows me to have open availability all summer! I’m available for all services.

Anywhere from a hour walk to a few snuggles in the middle day, I’m happy to do it.
“Jessi is wonderful! She took great care of our 2 senior kitties while we were on our cruise. Our one boy has health issues and she went above and beyond taking care of him. We would definitely re-book with Jessi the next time we need to be out of town.”
“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 love animals. I've taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. My two cats, Prim and Khaleesi, are my world! I have experience with large and small dogs, as well as volunteer experience at the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Michigan. I've cared for energetic pups all the way to senior dogs that can't use the steps anymore. Being a stay-at-home cat mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to visit at consistent, predictable times. I use a car as transportation, so I can get there reliably. I treat every booking as a commitment, not just a task, so you can count on me to show up on time and follow the care routine exactly as you've set it out. My own pets are fed twice a day, and have their water bowl cleaned and refilled once a day. I can co-exist with your pet, or play with them for 30 minutes, whatever they need!
“Nicole was amazing!!! She took some of the best pictures of my cats and sent them every day, her communication skills were amazing and she went above and beyond caring for my cats and my home. I am amazed and so grateful to have found her. Ive had the best experience with her and I cant say enough!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals longer than I’ve even been working. Animals have been a big part of my life and I know it’s a big part of everyone’s. My experience with dogs are more close to big dogs, hunting dogs, and pittbulls. However I’ve also puppy-sat and dog sat small dogs before. And while I don’t want to puppy sit again, I’d love to dog sit! I love giving dogs enrichment activities on walks and at home. So they will never be bored with me! Currently my day life is a bit messy. So I won’t divulge too much. But my mornings I like to keep to myself since this is the first time in years I’ve had slow mornings. But I’m such a night owl that anything after 3pm works!! My house doesn’t have a fence, which is why I currently don’t offer at my house services. But I did however train one of my dogs to be off leash with a good recall! The other won’t be allowed to do so. He chases squirrels wayyyy too much!
“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,”
“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!”

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.
Amanda has been great to work with and she handled the craziness of our two four month old puppies wonderfully! She is great at communicating and provided a nice summary of her visit along with some pictures. We look forward to having Amanda watch the dogs again.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
