“Erin was great with my high energy dog, Bodie. He enjoys her mid-day visits and the positive attention. She was flexible with a last minute booking when my other sitter had an emergency pop up and is awesome to work with.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a child. I always felt if you love animals then you should help be their voice and make sure they are taken care of. My schedule is flexible because pet care is what I do! 🐾 I’m able to build my day around the needs of the pets in my care, whether that means morning visits, midday walks, evening drop-ins, or overnight stays. I do have other commitments from time to time, but I plan my schedule carefully so every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🐾 I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, routines, and environment so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding areas, medications, and anything else that could affect their safety. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. ❤️🐶🐱

I have vast experience with disabled and older dogs, including administering medication. Animals are a passion of mine and I find great joy in taking care of dogs.

About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.

When at work I’m gone 6 hours I have baby gates to set up in our house incase separation is needed , I have a lot of dog toys to play with , as well as a nice fenced in yard !

About: I am joyful and love being active. I walk about 3 miles a day but if your dog is really active I usually double that and take him on a beautiful trail by my home. So plenty of time to get all that energy out for puppies and active dogs. I love dogs so much I want one but my landlord won't let me get one so I would like to continue my experience of loving on yours! :) Dogs and I usally bond instantly but the timid ones usually warm up within the day. I do little things like calm them and talk to them gently. And then when it's time to play I get really excited and usually play fetch or tug of war. I also give great baths and don't mind getting dirty so if that is what they need for the day, I'm your gal! :) * update please read* due to recent dog sitting I have to ask for vaccination records and proof that they are being treated for fleas. please understand that multiple dogs come to my home I cannot put it at risk for the other angels that visit. Thanks for understanding. I have a flexible active job. I enjoy walking so this would be an added benefit for me. My job allows me to care for dogs when needed. I live in Jacksonville Florida, I’m willing to travel to surrounding areas. I provide nurturing care to all dogs. Some need extra attention that’s okay I go the extra mile to make sure I communicate with the clients needs and provide photos of updates.

“We were very impressed with Madison and will most definitely be using her as our pet-sitter in the future! She went out of her way to get to know Cody & Braveheart, and even our “scared-cat”, Cody, seemed happy to interact with her. She seemed very comfortable and knowledgeable about pet habits and behavior. My husband and I would give Madison “Two thumbs-up!!! 👍👍”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklintown is $38 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $38 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 2,062 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franklintown. 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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
