“We left our sweet girl with Sarah and Matthew and are so glad we did! She was well taken care of, looked so happy exploring their land and visiting the pigs, and came home calm and happy. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Lady always loves staying with Catherine! She takes such good care of my pup (somehow she even convinces my dog to eat while I'm out of town...nobody else can do that!).”
“Thank you Beka and Ryan, I feel so comfortable knowing that Sandie is with you guys when we have the opportunity to spend a night away, and Sandie is so comfortable there that she is right at home. Sandie loves her sleep overs with you.”
“Jessica has been taking care of our furry babies since we moved to Cincinnati area- at least 5 different times. She cares for them like they are her own and we know we can fully trust her. She sends us frequent photos and updates via text and is always reachable. Our dogs are excited to see her and sad to leave so we know that they love her as much as she loves them. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Amanda took such great care of our new puppy Bailey and kept us updated with how she was doing while we were gone. She really set our minds at ease that all was well while we were away.”
“Kimberly was amazing, very friendly, professional, and made my doggo feel right at home. She sent me messages with pictures that made me feel so good to see how she was getting along in a new place. I would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“Sabrina and her family were amazing hosts for our 8 year old Aussie! She had plenty of room to run and lots of friends to play with while we were away. When we brought her home she was exhausted from all the fun she had!”
“Joanne is absolutely wonderful. We left our puppy with her for 9 nights. He was so well taken care of. We got daily updates (pics and videos). We are so blessed to have received her help. We highly recommend Joanne!”
“I can’t express how thrilled I am with the care my two huskies, Jade and Raiden, received during their 5-day, 4-night stay! From the moment we arrived, I could see they were in good hands. The team was incredibly attentive and truly passionate about dogs. Jade and Raiden were not only excited to be there, but also seemed to be exhausted (in the best way!) by the end of each day from all the fun activities and attention they received. I appreciated receiving the videos of them playing and enjoying their outings. The property is absolutely stunning — lots of open land for the dogs to roam and explore, which they absolutely loved. It was such a relief knowing they were having an amazing time while I was away. The communication was fantastic throughout, and I got regular updates and pictures of their adventures. Overall, the love and care Jade and Raiden received made all the difference. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pups!”
“Kara is amazing with my cat! She really knows what she’s doing. But on top of her animal cares, she’s also super nice and was willing to be flexible around my work schedule”
“Patricia and her boyfriend take such good care of my little guy. He always loves going over and visiting their dogs. They take him on several walks each day and send lots of photos and video. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with Patricia.”
“Jessica and her twins are fantastic! Our babies were so happy and well-cared for with them. Extra thanks for being so accommodating when our travel plans were messed up and we had to make some changes. Thank you for everything!”
“As always Amber and her husband are amazing. They were particular life savers for this vacation as they were able to work around my strange pick-up/drop-off times and were flexible when our flight got delayed.”
“Rebecca, Ethan, and their lovely family were amazing with our older dog! We are so grateful for their kindness and the care they took to let us know how well our pup was doing with them.”
“Joe is awesome! He’s kept our dogs 6 or 7 times and they’re always so happy when they’re with him. He doesn’t send daily pictures or updates unless you ask, but if you need to reach out he is very responsive to communication. When Joe keeps the dogs, we know that we can enjoy our time away without having to worry and we know that they will be well taken care of! I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
I had an amazing experience with Lillyan! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. She took the time to get to know my puppy George's personality, routine, and specific needs, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which meant so much and reassured me that my puppy was happy and well cared for. It was obvious that my pup was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When I picked my pup up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and I’m so grateful for the care she provided. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!

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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 OH 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.
