“Elizabeth is so nice! Our 1-year-old cats warmed to her quickly, and she shared plenty of photos and messages to let us know they were playing and eating well. I highly recommend her!”

“Marissa took great care of my Pluto and Damien. She sent me some great pictures when I was away so that I knew they were being taken care of, and they were clearly well fed and watered while I was gone. She is easy to communicate with as well, and she will be visiting my cats away when I am away for a longer trip. Highly recommend!!”

About: With 15 wonderful years as a pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing personalized care, keeping your pet comfortable and happy, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love— and that’s what I aim to provide! I am available with a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I am happy to follow specific instructions from pet owners. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they are apart. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the pet’s normal routine and the owner’s specific instructions. I would provide fresh food and water, give medications if requested and properly instructed, take dogs for walks or provide indoor exercise, and spend quality time with the pet so they feel comfortable and cared for. I would also clean up after the pet, maintain a safe and tidy environment, and give the owner regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I would treat the client’s home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own home.

About: I love all animals. I love walking, am playful with them and take them to parks etc. I had a German Pointer, Vita, from puppy til her death. She was extremely loyal to me. Although I lived with my husband and kids, I was her person. Overall, I can tell animals are very "attracted" to me and even my friends notice that with their pets. I help taking care of my son's black lab. Im available most of days after 4PM and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I love walking in the parks and neighberhoods. Your pets will be safe and get necessary care and excersises with me. If boarded in my house I will take care of him like my own pet. No worries. I have an unfanced big yard but I love walking so Id do that twice a day. With your permission I'd take the dog to the parks and hiking trails.

“Katie was wonderful! First time leaving Matilda for more than a day and from watching the two together during our original meet and greet, I was confident they would do well while I was gone. Katie kept me informed of how Matilda was eating and drinking and her daily “mood”. I will be asking Katie to take care of my girl during my next trip!”

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by pets. My parents took care of dogs all throughout me growing up :) as well as me and my mom were constantly bringing home more (including a pig once😅) all animals are family to me and I take great pride in providing exceptional care to other peoples furbabies when they need me :) I currently have one dog and three cats who I love so dearly. I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am very flexible and can 99% of the time make things work to fit your pets needs!! Happy to be of service to you☺️ I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am enrolled in college and when classes are active I have a 1 hour long class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I spend most of my time cuddled up with my pets (and yours if there here ☺️) or im running around with my dog to burn off some of his energy😆 my schedule is very flexible and pet care will always fit into my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and gates throughout my home to separate areas where the dogs should not be or could get hurt. I do regular potty breaks every hour but if this needs to be adjusted due to your pets needs I can do that! I do morning and night feedings for my dog and cats but I can manage feeding your pet on their schedule as well :)

“Erin went above and beyond with my pets when I was in the hospital. She walked my dog every day, sent pictures of my cat and dog, and she even vacuumed my house and took out my trash. She checked up on me when I got out of the hospital. I would definitely hire her again.”

“My kitties and I loved Teresa! I had to go out of town last minute and was pretty stressed about finding a sitter and I was able to book Teresa within minutes. She was incredibly prompt with all her responses which I hugely appreciated. I hadn’t used Rover before and she made the entire experience easy and comfortable, I felt totally at ease knowing she was watching my cats!”

About: Even as a kid, I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog, Zoey. I took responsibility for making sure she was fed and watered, taking her for long walks and playing with her in our backyard. I knew that when I grew up, I would adopt a dog as soon as I could. A few months before I was discharged from the Marine Corps, I reached out to my hometown's local animal shelter about Baron. Baron was a 2-year-old, Boxer/Pit mix and from the moment I saw his picture, I knew he was going to be my boy. I called the shelter regularly to see if he was still there and let them know the day I could pick him up. I drove from my base in California to my Mom's house in Florida, dropped my stuff off, and immediately went to the shelter to adopt Baron. For the first few months I took him everywhere I went. All my friends and family knew that if Dan was coming, so was Baron. A few years after adopting Baron, I shared pictures of him with a girl I was talking to, and she immediately wanted to meet him. I took him for a walk with her and, as they say, the rest is history, she’s my wife. She brought two cats to the relationship, Teyla and Cara, and I eventually adopted a third cat, Ahsoka, with her. I cared for Baron together for 10 years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw, and we decided to try surgery, chemo and radiation. My wife and I got another 3 years with him, when the vet had told us he had 6 months to live. In 2025, his cancer returned, and he passed away just a few months before I got married. I spread some of his ashes at our wedding ceremony at one of the purest lakes in New Zealand and his name is engraved on our wedding bands. Shortly after saying goodbye to Baron, my wife and I adopted our fourth cat, Leia. I like to say she is Baron reincarnated because she follows me everywhere and has taken his place begging for food at the dinner table. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and have never met a dog that doesn't like me (I think everyone knows that cats aren't always that easy to win over!). As the caregiver for your pet, I bring years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am experienced with delivering oral and topical medications, and hand feeding. I am experienced with obedience training and basic commands, crate training, walking on a lead, different types of dog collars, and off leash e-collar use. I understand how to safely have dogs meet, and what signs to look for to signal aggression, discomfort, fear, or playfulness when around other dogs. I understand that pets have routines and schedules, and I will adjust my day to make sure your pet can keep their routine. I know what it's like to have another person care for my pets, and I will make sure to send photos and messages with updates to let you know your pet is safe and happy. As a stay-at-home trophy husband and cat dad, my day is flexible and I can ensure your pet's care and comfort is my top priority. I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule to acommodate your pet's routine. Your pet will get a considerable amount of attention and care while I'm with them. I have used Rover in the past for my own dog so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, whether it's reinforcing good behavior or just giving lots of care and love, your pet's well being is my top priority. I'm available when you need me. From checking in on your pets while you are on vacation, taking your dog for a nice stimulating walk, or staying the night with your pets, let me know what works best for you! I will care for your pet in your home so they feel safe and comfortable. I will always have your dog on a leash and check the immediate area for other people/animals before leaving the house. I will respect your home like it's my own house, and I will follow your pet's schedule and house rules.

About: I’ve owned golden retrievers since 2016. I have dog sat for families in the past for up to a week at a time. I have taken care of my sisters golden doodle for months at a time. I have taken part in simple training my two golden retrievers since they were puppies. I love dogs and seeing the different personalities brought out from different breeds. I do not have much experience with senior dogs, but I would love the opportunity to learn! I’m currently in an online masters program, but I have a pretty open schedule. I get up early usually around 5 or 6am and I am in bed by 9 or 10 pm. I love working out and getting outside during the day, so walking or boarding dogs will guarantee some playtime for the pups. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run and play. I have an almost 10 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and loves to play.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Franklinton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklinton is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 October 2026, there are 4,128 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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 , 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 Franklinton. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
