“We boarded our dog with Angelisa for a week. This is the longest he was away from us and he had a blast. He is a picky eater, so we had a long list of instructions and she took good care of him. Definitely recommend and we will be reaching out to her again for our future dog boarding requests.”
About: Hi, I’m Marilyn! I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, starting with my neighbors' cats and expanding to dogs as I gained experience. Medication & Special Care Experience With years of pet ownership, I am very comfortable managing special health needs. I am experienced in administering: Oral Medications (I’m a pro at using pill pockets, cheese, or whatever trick your pet prefers!) Topical Treatments Ear Drops Meet My Pack: We are a pet-loving household! When you book with me, your pet will be sharing space with my sweet fur-family. My French Bulldog: He is an 8-year-old Frenchie who is incredibly laid-back and absolutely wonderful with kids and other animals. My Cat- Nemo is well-adjusted to a busy, animal-friendly home. Home Environment & Boarding Accommodations I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as they do in their own home. My house is fully equipped for secure, happy stays: Fenced-In Yard: Perfect for safe, supervised playtime and quick potty breaks. Finished Basement with Baby Gates: I have a spacious, finished basement that is perfect for giving pets their own dedicated zone. If your pet isn't fully comfortable around cats, I can easily keep them separated using baby gates. Crate-Friendly: If your dog prefers to sleep in a crate or is crated for safety when unsupervised, I am happy to utilize a crate according to your exact preferences. Whether your pet needs active playtime in the yard, quiet companionship or precise medication schedules, I am here to treat them like a member of my own family. I can't wait to meet your pup or kitty! As a stay-at-home mom and part-time kstudent, nurturing and safety are second nature to me. My classes only take up 2 days of my week, leaving me with wide-open availability to care for your pet the rest of the time. Because I am home so much, I can cater to all of their needs—from high-energy play sessions to specialized care routines. You can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in attentive, loving hands! My goal is to provide a "home away from home" that mirrors the safety and structure they have at your house. Home & Environment: Secure Yard: Large, fenced-in area for supervised outdoor time. Hydration: Constant access to filtered, fresh water. Socialization: My two young sons, our friendly 8-year-old Frenchie, our 1 year old rescue pup and cat make for a social environment, but we can easily accommodate dogs who need their own space. Crate Ready: I can utilize your pup’s crate for sleeping or breaks to maintain their existing training and comfort. My Promise: I am highly detail-oriented and will follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and behavior to the letter. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my primary concerns.
“Eddie was kind and gentle with Abby, and even sent along terrific photos of Abby’s adventures playing with the family and with their beautiful malamute in their fenced in yard and spacious, immaculate home. Abby came back wagging her tail and clearly well-taken care of. Thank you, Eddie! We will definitely book you again.”
“Another perfect stay with Sarah. Sarah always provides lots of photos and updates everyday. She and Rex took great care of Cooper and Black. We look forward to booking with Sarah again!”
“Wendy and her family were wonderful! The girls were so sweet and gentle with Callie and I knew she was in caring and capable hands the whole time. We look forward to booking with them again in the future and would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a communicative, caring, and lovely sitter!”
“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“My pups love her and never fight to go home when I bring them to Auntie Nancy's home. She loves them like her own. Even when I have a complicated meal program with additives, Nancy's doesn't mind at all.”
“Alex is an exceptional caretaker and we are so relieved we found him! We left for our first trip away from our superstar Rufus, and Alex couldn’t have been more understanding and thoughtful with the communication of photos, videos, and calls when we were missing our pup. Alex was also flexible when our flight was delayed and we appreciated that greatly. Thank you again Alex, we look forward to Ru having a place to stay with you in the future!”
“Fatima and her family were amazing with our pup Taco! We received great updates and pics throughout his entire stay and you can tell he had an excellent time with them! Definitely would book with Fatima again!!!”
“Laurie took great care of our puppy on short notice for a weekend away. She provided many updates during the weekend and we still felt close to our pup! Nala came home very happy. I recommend Laurie with high regard to anyone looking for pet care!”
“1st time using rover app and could not have found or asked for a better person/family to care for our Weimaraner! We felt so comfortable leaving him and knew he would be loved! Very happy, highly recommend and will definitely ask Erika to care for our dog again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover and wildlife rescuer, here for you and your pets About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish. I'm the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone they trust with their pets, for walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company. I'm also the one who stops for hurt wildlife and brings them to the Tufts wildlife rehab clinic, so I stay calm in unexpected situations and I'm comfortable with animals of every temperament. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which means I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and day care. Your pet gets real attention plus plenty of updates and photos while you're away. I treat every animal like my own. I have a large yard where dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time, plus a dog park just a 3-minute walk away for extra play and socializing. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I keep a close eye on every pup in my care.
“Our four-year-old golden doodle and one year-old golden retriever. Had a wonderful time staying with Nicole and family. They took as good of care of them as we would have. Will definitely use Nicole again and highly recommend her.”
“Taylor genuinely exceeded my expectations from day one. She was incredibly attentive and consistently kept me updated with photos, activities, and observations about Draco’s behavior throughout his stay. She asked all the right questions, and it’s clear she takes pride in her work and genuinely enjoys what she does. Since she works from home, Draco received plenty of attention throughout the day. She took him on numerous walks, trips to the dog park, and little adventures that kept him active and engaged. Beyond that, Taylor is professional, personable, easygoing, and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing Draco was in her hands, which says a lot. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I think I just found Draco’s new go-to sitter, and I couldn’t be happier about it. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, keep you informed, and genuinely go above and beyond, Taylor is exactly who you want. I recommend her without hesitation and would trust her with Draco again in a heartbeat. She sets the standard for what a great sitter should be!”
“The dogs RAN up and into Casey's place wagging when drop off, and came out happy, even more spoiled, shinier and somehow smelling nicer?! when picked up. 😆 This is our 52774th time boarding with Casey and we cannot thank her and recommend her to others enough. Casey is extremely thoughtful and attentive to details, and even has now built with our dogs their own routine that put the dogs at ease and peace. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“Paula took excellent care of my dog. Echo came home happy and tired after having a weekend full of fun playing with other pups and being well cared for by Paula. She was very flexible on timings and is such a lovely friendly person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paula to my friend’s and we are already planning on using Paula for a two week we have coming up soon.”
“Calvin did a terrific job watching our dog recently! He is very kind and accommodating! We met for a Meet and Greet prior to the stay, and he was enthusiastic and comfortable with us and our pup. His communication through pictures and texts was reassuring while we were away. Great experience overall!”
“Anne has been amazing! This was our second time having Piko stay with her, and we couldn’t be happier. She sends us pictures and updates every day, which gives us so much peace of mind. She’s also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and is incredibly sweet and accommodating. Most importantly, Piko absolutely is comfortable staying with her! I completely trust Anne with Piko and feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”
“Qulynda was great! She took such great care of our dog while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend using Qulynda if you’re looking for someone to care for your furry one!”

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.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,114 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Franklin. About 90% of Franklin sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
