“Overall had an excellent experience with Logan dog sitting. She was very flexible and able to meet in advance so my dog could become acquainted with her prior to the booked dates. Great communication throughout sitting, sent daily updates and pictures! She took great care of my dog and treated my home with respect.”
“Alyssa done a wonderful job with our 2 babies. This was the first time getting an over night sitter for 4 nights. We were very nervous doing this but she put our minds at ease immediately when meeting with her. She’s gentle, loving, and caring. She followed all requests as directed. My 2 dogs adjusted quickly to her as she has a gentle personality. I like to Thank her and hope to use her for future sitting. TY”
“Julia stayed with our pup for 9 days while we were away. He was so happy with her. We received pictures and updates unsolicited but also quickly if we asked how everything was going. Our dog was so relaxed (although very excited to see us) when we got home. Previously when he had come home from a kennel he'd be off for a good 48 hours. I'd happily book again.”
“SirJahad was a fantastic housesitter for my 5 month old puppy and cat. He sent plenty of pictures and detailed messages over the three days we were away. He followed our instructions and took our rambunctious dog on several walks daily.”
“Nicole was diligent in caring for our dog and bought him a couple of new toys that he loves! She was cheerful and exhibited a great ability in being able to manage his rambunctious behaviors from the very first day. We appreciated her dependability and punctuality.”
“Devon is a true professional. She made sure to meet us and our puppies to make sure all was comfortable. Met me in advance a second time for the key. Each day she was patient with sparkles and scarlet as sparkles is shy. She followed all instructions and kept us informed. The dogs were very well taken for and super excited when we got home. Thank you Devon well done. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Rebecca was great! She put up with my very clingy dog and gave her lots of snuggles and attention. ❤️ Great communication and overall wonderful experience. Will be booking with her again!”
“Skye was absolutely wonderful with my Beagle Jackson. I was a little worried because of his separation anxiety, but the minute he met her I knew he would be just fine. This was the first time I have left him, but he did great thanks to Skye. He loved her at first sight and was sad to see her leave. She was great about sending me pictures and keeping me updated. I will definitely use Skye again and highly recommend her!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care you gave Otis this week while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for all the updates, attention, and love you showed him it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate your reliability, kindness, and care for Otis like he was your own. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
About: My parents got me my very first dog when I was six years old, and honestly, that was the beginning of my lifelong dog obsession. Since then, I’ve always had dogs (sometimes more than one) so caring for pups has been a normal part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. I’ve handled everything from tiny cuddle bugs to big goofy giants, seniors who need a gentle pace, and energetic pups who think every day is a marathon. Because I grew up with dogs, I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training, meds, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I treat every pup like family, because that’s exactly what dogs have always been to me. I run a photography business, so outside of scheduled times where I am shooting (weddings, family portraits etc), I'm very much available to take care of your pets with my full priority. If I'm not in front of a client, I can do all of my other work without needing to be in any specific place and without time constraints, so I'm happy to put down my editing tablet for long walks, play times and any attention and care that your pets could want or need. Security, fullfillment, and furry photos are my mottos. I want to make sure that your rules are followed to the letter, and I'm happy to be recorded/walks tracked to give you ease of mind. Next I want to make sure that your pets feel that someone is there that cares about them, is interested in them and wants to give them exciting play times and COMPANY, not just supervision. And finally, so long as you're okay with it, I'm happy to bring my camera along and take some professional pictures of your hairy best friend for fun and sharing with you (feel free to turn it down, and of course I'm not charging anything for it, I just think everyone deserves good pictures of their family!)
“Madison!!! Can’t say enough great things about her! She was the first person I hired off of this site and she was absolutely awesome! Everything went smoothly! She was so good to my pets and I felt so safe having her stay in our home. She’s very down to earth and you can tell she loves animals. I would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER to literally anyone and everyone!!”
“Maddy was an amazing house sitter for our boy Oliver. We cannnot recommend her enough. She was clean and kept us updated on Oliver while we were away. She will be our go too from now on!”
“Thanks to Greg we were finally able to go away without our needy pets. We were able to relax because Greg did a great job of connecting with our pets and communicating with us. He followed all of our detailed instructions and cleaned up like he was never here. We hope to hire Greg again for more housesitting. His care is much appreciated.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for almost 10 years now. During that time I have gained experience with older dogs, diabetic dogs, puppies and everything in between. I currently own a rescue dog who I have been doing high level obedience with. We participate in dogs sport like rally obedience, fetch, fastCAT, barn hunt, lure coursing and most recently scent work. When I come to take care of your dog I will treat them as if they were my own with lots of love. I want to make you feel comfortable about leaving your dog knowing someone responsible is going to take care of them. I have a high energy dog. His care involves daily walks, and lots of training including scent work, learning new tricks or building up muscle and rear end awareness. My favorite activity is walking and training dogs. I will care for your dog with love and kindness. If you give my specifics of how you like your dog handled I am more than happy to follow that. I understand each dog is different and unique which means that I adjust accordingly.
“Madilyn did a great job caring for my anxious dog overnight. My pup requires meds and Madilyn didn't have any issues administering them as needed. She's responsible and reliable.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have always loved being around them. Whenever there’s a dog in the room they are the first I greet! 2022 was when I first started pet sitting for others and have since cared for multiple dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I currently care for five different dogs regularly, including two that I watch together. Whenever there’s pet sitting, I stay in the owners home to keep their pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I make sure each dog gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime while their family is away. I also believe communication is extremely important, so I provide regular updates with photos and videos to help the owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away from their pets. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and happy until their owners return. I am currently a part-time college student, so I have a lot of time to be able to check on owners pets when needed. My schedule is pretty open besides Wednesdays, but depending on the situation I can sometimes check in on them on Wednesdays. When caring for pets in a clients home, I make it a priority to keep them on their normal routine so they feel comfort and secure while their owners are away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding time, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs. Safety is a top priority of mine. I make sure doors, gates, and even leashes are secure, and I pay very close attention to every animals behavior and comfort level. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while respecting the pet’s individual personality and needs. I also respect the owners privacy by keeping household information private and also respecting their homes. I also try to update the owners as much as possible by providing videos, photos, and messages so they can have a peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and comfortable. My goal is to create an stress-free environment for both the owners and the pets. I want the owners to be able to enjoy their trip and not be stressed, while their pets feel safe and comfortable with me.
“Victoria was excellent to our cats. She gave them all the time and attention they needed while we were gone and despite them not generally being warm to strangers she got one of cats to pet her which is huge for a stranger to come in and do.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Franklinville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franklinville on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,538 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Franklinville. 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 Franklinville 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 Franklinville 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 Franklinville 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
