“Heather was fantastic! Very responsive, sent photos of our dog Lucy and kept us up to date. We will definitely be utilizing her services more often. Thanks a ton Heather!”
“I was very nervous leaving my sweet hound, once a stray, with anyone but my own mom, but when she moved out of state, I had to find someone. I could not have found better hands to leave Loretta in! Julie cared for her perfectly, sent updates, gave her the perfect amount of alone time, and supervised time outside with other sweet dogs. I picked her up on a windy night, but I don’t think that was the only reason Loretta was reluctant to get in the car, I think she truly loved her new extended family!”
“Highly recommend! Kara was amazing with our Bella. I was super nervous leaving her with a new person but Kara was so good to her. Bella loved being the only dog and being spoiled. It was like home away from home.”
“Loved Lyndsey and appreciated all the time she spent with Buddy. Enjoyed all the updates and pictures from the weekend. Will definitely plan another stay in the future!”
“Lora was so great with taking care of our two boxer fur kids while we were away for several days. The pups were immediately welcomed in and felt right at home as soon as they entered her home. The boxers are high energy and she knew exactly how to care for them as a prior boxer owner. She treated them just like they were her own and were part of her family during their stay. They enjoyed being able to go in her fenced in yard for plenty of outside time and were spoiled with love and attention during their visit. Lora also stayed in touch by providing pictures and updates on how their visit was going. They can't wait to return back!”
“Sean was easy to communicate with, always very responsive to messages, and flexible to accommodate scheduling factors. I appreciated his updates while Jenna was in his care and the overall ease of the process with him. I also really appreciate that he got Jenna out for walks and has a fenced in backyard that she was able to play in.”
“Jacqueline took well care of our pet, was communicative, professional and lovely all the way ; she treated our pet like it was her own family! Thank you for taking care of our little ball of energy and attention ☺️”
“I selected Leo to watch my dog Atlas overnight, since I was attending a wedding closeby. Leo was always very responsive and flexible. I love that he sent updates and pictures throughout the evening and the next morning. Atlas had no problem staying with Leo and I would definitely book him again!”
“Our dog had a great time with Emilee and her family. Emilee was very attentive to our boy's specific needs. Emilee was very easy to communicate with and sent regular updates and photos during his visit. We look forward to using Emilee for pet sitting services in the future!”
“Julie was a great sitter all around! She offered a meet and greet beforehand which I really appreciated. Louie was immediately comfortable with her and her home. Julie's home was a perfect fit for us because it’s one level and she has a fenced”
“Simone was amazing! She took very good care of my fur baby. Took him on walks and sent me several pictures/updates daily! It was amazing to know that he was happy and in good hands! Will absolutely have simone watch my dog whenever we go on vacation! ❤❤”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life (29 years!) and have been a dog dad to my own Siberian Husky for the past 7 years. I also have previous experience working in a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently work fully remotely, so I’m home throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, and I make it a priority to take my own dog on two walks every day, so your pup can enjoy an active routine, too! Whether your dog loves playing, going for walks, or simply lounging around with some company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first! I work fully remotely, so caring for your pup fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m home throughout the workday and can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks. I typically start my mornings with a walk with my own dog, followed by another walk or two during the workday, ended with a trip to the dog park. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard for outdoor play and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime between meetings, afternoon walks, or relaxing company while I work, your dog will have plenty of attention and won’t be left alone for long stretches of time! When caring for pets in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as they do in their own home! I provide a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and opportunities to relax. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for outdoor time, and my friendly adult Siberian Husky provides a potential playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing with other pups. I always prioritize each dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, favorite activities, potty breaks, and any special instructions from owners. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to follow their established routines, keep them comfortable, provide plenty of attention, and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for, wherever they’re staying!
“Danielle was wonderful with Cody. He warmed up to her quickly. She picked him up and dropped him off which was a huge convenience for us. Danielle sent pics of Cody every day so we could see how happy and relaxed he was. They took Cody for walks and her son played with Cody. Will definitely be contacting Danielle for future care.”

Heather and her partner provided wonderful care to our Golden’s while we were out of the country for a week. Heather sent twice daily updates with pictures and videos and our dogs were always happy and having fun. We will definitely have Heather care for our dogs in the future! Highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience with our Laura ! This was the first time we had ever left our dog, with someone else, and he was understandably very anxious. She went above and beyond to make him feel calm, safe, and comfortable throughout his stay. She paid close attention to his food habits, followed his regular sleeping schedule, and genuinely cared about making the transition as stress-free as possible for him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She is kind, patient, and truly loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cookie!
Jessica was amazing with my giant, goofy lap dog! She was diligent and thoughtful in organizing our meet and greet with her adorable pup. She’s clearly experienced, caring, and responsible. I got some adorable pics of Marv having a swim in her back yard and he was happy and healthy as can be when I picked him up. I’d happily book with Jessica again on my next trip where Mr. Marv can’t join me 🐶☺️
Emily was fantastic with my dog, Ruby! I was honestly a bit nervous leaving her since she has separation anxiety and we were traveling into town for a wedding, but Emily’s clear and prompt communication beforehand immediately put me at ease. During Ruby’s stay, she sent lots of updates and photos, and it was obvious Ruby was having the best time. Ruby can be a finicky eater, and Emily somehow worked her magic and got her to eat, which is no small feat. She also had an amazing time playing with Emily’s smaller dog, Miley - they were such a great match! When I picked Ruby up in the evening, she was happy and tired in the best way. Emily provided a clean, safe environment with a fenced-in yard and was very flexible, which I really appreciated. Emily is incredibly kind, friendly, and clearly loves dogs. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I just wish we lived closer! Highly recommend.

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.
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.
94% 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, we recommend 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 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.
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 MA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
