“One of the best sitters we've had! Our pup was happy, cared for, and even had a best bud to play with, one of their kids. Their dogs were also easy going and played well with our pup. Very responsible sitter! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Esther and her family took great care of Sadie and were very accommodating. Sadie had a great time playing with Penny and I will definitely use Esther again and highly recommend.”
“Ashley and Micheal were exceptional. We felt our dog Jaxx was really cared for in ways we would care for him. We really appreciated their obvious love of dogs and understanding how a pet owner might feel being away from their favorite fur family. Ashley sent updates on Jaxx's day along with pictures. And was always available to answer any questions if needed. We will use their services in a heartbeat moving forward. Trust is huge in regard to our pet and they really held our pet with integrity and care. Thank you Ashley and Micheal!! Jaxx will see you again soon! Kili and Robert Marti”
“Niyired took great care of my dog Emi. When I first met her she was very patient with the other dogs staying with her who were dying to meet my dog. I knew then she loves dogs and understands their world. I will definitely have my dog stay with her in the future.”
“I’m so glad to have found Olivia to watch Luna for a week long combined fun & work trip. She communicated throughout and sent cute pics. I would definitely choose Olivia again in the future!”
“Ashley is great. I’m a proudly overly-protective puppy-parent and hardly ever trust my dogs with anyone. My buddy is a large, in-tact, German Shepherd. Ashley took great care of him. I will definitely book her in the future. Highly recommend. - Retired Army”
“Ms Sandy was so great with our senior dog, Vixen! I never worried about her and Sandy sent several pictures of her happy! Ms Sandy also was great with some of the senior dog issues Vixen sometimes has. Overall I felt extremely at ease with Vixen staying there and would definitely have her watch our dog again!”
“Laura was great with our 2 dogs. We have one who is bossy and one who has separation anxiety. We did a met and greet and it became clear that Laura could handle them with no problem. She kept us informed and sent pics. We were so relieved to find someone we felt comfortable with. We didn’t have to worry at all while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend Laura, she is wonderful.”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter! She sent lots of updates and photos and it was obvious our pup had a blast with her and her dogs. We would definitely recommend and would book her again!”
“Adria was a great sitter for my cranky old boy Beetle! She let us meet at her home before the booking so that Beetle could get comfortable and she could understand his needs. She communicated great, sent pictures, and was kind and helpful. I would feel comfortable booking again with her any time!”
“Justyna was so great. We will 100% use her again. I received so many pictures/videos and updates of my sweet pup. She was such a happy girl there. I could tell she was given so much attention and cuddles. I can’t say enough great things about her and family.”
“Colten was able to watch my dog super last minute due to a work trip and I was so grateful! He took such great care of my pup and sent pics each day. I’ll definitely be booking with Colten again!”
“Molly was great! We went on a long weekend trip and our dog seemed very happy and comfortable there. She even took her on a 5 mile walk! We will definitely be using Molly in the future!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for 50 years. I’ve taken care of up to seven dogs at once. I’ve had big and small dogs. All my dogs are adopted and some have had special needs. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m currently available to watch or board all week. I love taking dogs for walks. I have a fenced yard. Currently I don’t have any dogs but occasionally I watch my daughters dog. Even though I don’t have dogs I make sure all gates are closed and secured.
About: I am a military spouse, so when it comes to caring for animals when their owners are away I am no stranger to that! Every animal has their own personality and that is what makes each one unique! My whole life I've had pets, and have cared for each one as a member of the family. I have experience potty training animals, as well as sticking to strict schedules for walking, and eating. I can guarantee that your pet/s will be well taken care of!
About: I have had the amazing opportunity to run and operate an animal rescue for 5 straight years. During which time we tended to each and every need including medical needs. I am home all day long. I can focus on playing with your animal for hours, making sure your animal always has eyes on them for their safety. During an animals stay or visiting the clients home. I like to make sure that the animal is well cared for by strict eating schedules as well as bathroom breaks. Let’s not forget about play time.

Hope was AMAZING! We were very worried about Gus especially but he did GREAT! She was an excellent communicator, sent a wonderful amount of photos each day and was very accommodating to our slightly changing schedule at both drop off & pick up. HIGHLY recommend and there’s no one else we’d consider using besides Hope in the future 🤗‼️
McKenzie was so sweet and accommodating-. Lots of pictures, communicated very well and was willing to take our puppy at a very last minute booking. We so appreciate Turk being such a good babysitter and we’re so very grateful for her having Bingley for the weekend.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Franklin is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $47 per night. 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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Franklin can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Franklin home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Franklin.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Franklin sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
