About: Hello! I’m a dedicated and highly experienced pet care provider with a professional background in grooming, dog boarding, and veterinary care. This well-rounded experience allows me to confidently care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including pets who require extra attention, patience, or specialized care. I prioritize safety, structure, and comfort in every visit, ensuring your pet maintains their routine while feeling secure and relaxed in your absence. From attentive walks and enrichment to proper handling and basic medication support, every detail of care is handled with intention and professionalism. I understand that your pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide a calm, dependable, and elevated level of care that gives both you and your pet complete peace of mind. I also provide consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured. I look forward to offering your pet a safe, attentive, and truly personalized experience 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, as I only work Fridays and am otherwise a stay-at-home mom. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and energy to your pet—whether that means walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I offer attentive, well-rounded care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding routines, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I love staying active, so your pet can enjoy regular walks, outdoor time, and even longer adventures like hikes if they’re up for it. With my background in grooming, I’m also able to provide additional services such as nail trims and light grooming upon request for an added fee, making it convenient to keep your pet looking and feeling their best. Above all, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away 🐾
“Aliyah is an exceptional puppy walker and great person in general. She came to meet and walk my girls very last minute and was very positive the entire time. We even had a slight hiccup and she remained calm and professional! Will definitely book again!”

About: I own two dogs and have pet sit for neighbors, friends, and family. I also previously started my own pet sitting business. I currently work at a pet resort/doggy daycare facility. I have experience with walking, feeding, providing care, and anything else you might want for your pet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups! During the week I can provide any service needed. I will set up a meet and greet before completely booking any service for first time clients. This way your pet can be as comfortable as possible with me and to discuss any details or concerns you might have. When caring for your fur baby in your home I will follow any routines you might have while also keeping them happy & entertained. Your pup is my #1 priority!

About: Member of NC animal advocates united and volunteer at local shelters. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every breed and age for 15 years+ from puppies and kittens to gentle seniors needing extra care. Vegan with a big heart. Neighbors, friends, and family alike trust me for reliable walks, feeding, caretaking, and companionship. I’m currently in online classes and working part time virtually, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability to caretake! My in person work is currently on hold.

I can crate your dog if wanted, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific routine and house rules /any special requests in your household too. Long walks are perfectly ok with me.
“I left my babies for a week while I was on vacation. The first time ever. I was so nervous because my sitter plans had fell through. Dawn to the Rescue! I was able to book Dawn for drop in visits with my 3 cats and she was spectacular! She sent pictures and videos every day, which eased my mind greatly. She was very communicative and made sure she was attentive to my babies. I appreciate her greatly! Thank you Dawn! I will definitely be booking in the future. 🥰”

About: Along with having cared for dogs my whole life, my most recent employment position was as a Dog Playgroup Supervisor in Massachusetts. My job was to pick up dogs from their homes and bring, on average, 8 dogs at a time to a private field for them to play and socialize together (As a treat take a look at my photos if you want to see some adorable puppy photos). I loved my job, but my partner and I have recently relocated back to North Carolina for him to attend flight school, and I am continuing my career in pet care! I love all animals and am passionate about providing exceptional care for your pet. I see pets as a part of the family, and since they can't communicate with words, I put great importance on reading their body language so I can help make our time together as safe and as comfortable for them as possible. I’m on my off-season from work, so most of my time is spent hanging out with my own dog Lucy! We spend our free time hiking and taking long drives to explore new places together! I am super passionate about caring for animals and plan to continue my career in animal care; caring for animals is my main priority. I feel it is very important to assess every pet and center my care to be focused on making your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I have professional dog care experience as a Dog Playgroup Supervisor and provide reliable and attentive care right in your pet's home. I follow instructions closely, as every pet parent knows every animal is different! You can spend your time away from your pet knowing they are in great hands. I will also keep you updated with photos and will keep you in the loop about how your pet is doing during our time together.
“Ashley was wonderful. My dogs adore her and she went above and beyond for me when I left my back porch open to a rain storm, while I was gone. I am very hapoy with her services and will Def use her again.”

“Ryanne has helped us with two very long trips by watching my two cats twice a day. She’s always so quick to respond to requests and questions, very communicative and we really appreciate her help keeping our babies safe, happy and healthy!”

“Sami was great with our girls. She communicated regularly and even stayed a bit longer when I was slower to respond. Very attentive and observant about change in behavior. Thank you for taking great care of our girls!”

About: I am someone who ensures rules. I will love your dog, but will make sure that they understand who is in charge. I love making a dog happy by allowing them to roll in the grass, run around with me, and teaching them to do tricks (that are allowed by the owners). I am currently enrolled in University, and have much time between classes to do check ups and to spend time with your pet. I also hav time for early morning walks and evening walks too. I do not have a place where I can have a dog come over. I care for dogs through playing with them in the yard, going to the park, giving them hugs, and petting them. I also give baths…upon request!!!

About: I’ve always loved cats and have experience caring for Felix and Orion, Matt’s dad’s cats, as well as our own two cats, Miles and Enzo. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, treats, and plenty of cuddles. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’m happy to let them set the pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As of right now I don’t have an office job so I could go by every day multiple times a day. And I could do house sitting over night almost any day. I treat both with the up most I respect and love. I try and treat people’s pets like family and their homes like I would my own.

I have worked on my previous schools farm and a teaching hospital as well as a veterinary emergency room and general practice veterinary hospital. There’s not much I haven’t encountered and I would love to bring my years of extensive experience into taking the best care of your own fur baby!

I am also fully free during the school semester on weekends anytime and weekday evenings. There’s a fenced yard on my apartment complex property.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Franklinton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,989 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Franklinton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Franklinton 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Franklinton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
