“Kristen was prompt in getting in touch with me about boarding my fur babies, accommodating to their needs and schedule. Kristen kept in touch with me, sending pictures, and notifying me when she had concerns with one of my senior dogs. They had great love and care, will be calling Kristen again 🐾”
“I have a 12 yo German Shepard. He's an old man now. We were going away for New Years and our normal sitter wasn't available. I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new. Karin was spectacular. She was attentive to his needs and careful about his 'age' related shortcomings. She has a pup of her own and a young son who loved my boy. Karin sent plenty of pics of him and was very communicative during his stay, asking questions to make sure behaviors were normal and making sure he'd tolerate the environment there! I don't know how many stays my old man has left in him, but Karin is definitely the person I'd want watching him when I leave!”
“Lisa was great! I took my dog over to meet Lisa, her kids and dog prior to him staying there for an upcoming weekend. Meeting went great! She answered all questions about the process as this was my first time using Rover. My little dog was happy running around with her dog and kids. He stayed for a weekend and it went great. She was quick to respond to all communications. I would definitely recommend Lisa!!”
“Sarah and Matthew are a DREAM for dog sitters and their beautiful farm is just paradise for any pup. They took such great care of our dog for eight days. They’d send pictures daily and communicated with us each day. Absolutely five star rating!”
“Meeko stayed with Jennifer for the first time last week and we were so happy with our experience. She has a big beautiful family so there is no shortage of love given to your pet. But between her own dogs and others boarding, Meeko had the best time playing with all of them and Jennifer sent plenty of photos and updates. We will absolutely use her services again I highly recommend her!”
“All I can say is AWESOME!!! Fred so much loves going to see Catherine and if I could give a Million star review I would. You know you found a gem when the day you are going to drop off and all I said was were going to see Catherine and Jovie, and Fred was like already in the car! Thank you so much!!!”
“Chris and his family were awesome! Chris communicated very well during the booking process and gave updates during Max’s stay. Max had a great time especially with the kids and came home tired from all the fun. Thanks Chris!”
“Great job! I feel like zip was well taken care of. I received updates and pictures while Zip was in care of Brendan. Brendan was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Reasonable pricing. I would send Zip here again in future.”
“Myra was great with our fur babies. She took excellent care of them while we were on vacation. We received updates and pictures letting us know they were happy and in good hands. I would definitely recommend using her. And we will be using her the next time we go on vacation.”
About: Stay-at-home mom who loves dogs! Your pup will be part of our family while you’re away, with plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles and supervision. I have two young children, so I only accept dogs who are gentle around children. I keep my boarding small so each dog gets lots of individual attention. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule so I’ll have lots of time to play with your fur babies. I have a fenced in back yard and a tri-level home with a finished basement. Our home is in a nice neighborhood with sidewalks to take your dogs on walks. I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby.
“Second time Nicole takes care of my boys and the overall experience was again excellent. PJ and Bailey had a blast and enjoy their stay at Nicole’s house as their own vacation time. I got several daily videos and pictures of my dogs playing and having fun activities. Totally recommended. Thanks Nicole!”
“Kathryn did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation. Setting up the booking was super easy, all concerns and questions were addressed quickly. The communication and pictures during our time away were spot on, and put my mind at ease that our babies were happy and well cared for. The pick up was efficient and it was so nice to see how happy, relaxed and worn out from all the fun and love they received from Kathryn!”
“John and Kelly took really great care of Koda! They kept us updated on how he was doing and gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We look forward to booking with them in the future since Koda enjoyed his stay so much!”
“Sheila and Jeff were so wonderful! Our dog stayed there for 12 days and we got pictures and updates daily. She was loved and cared for in our absence- we would definitely bring her back again!”
“Karen and Paul were amazing ..They took wonderful care of Bella and were very flexible .. Bella got along very well with them and their dog, Rudy :) I would definitely recommend Karen as a Pet Sitter and would give a five star rating :)”
About: My name is ebony and I have always loved dogs my whole life. Before working for Rover, I would travel from Toledo, Ohio to Hamilton/Fairfield which is estimately a 3 hour drive without a problem to dog sit for my sister and I absolutely enjoyed doing it. According to relocating, now I live in Middletown Ohio and working toward starting a dog sitting businesss. My sister introduced me to rover and I am excited to be doing business with different types of dogs and people. I am willing to walk, feed, play and keep your dog company. Not only those services but I am offering a free dog grooming service the first time i watch your pup. If you give me a chance at watching your dog I can prove to you how much I enjoy them and I’m pretty sure they will enjoy me being around just as much, maybe even more. Please no unruly dogs, Soon i will be able and certified in training dogs. Thank you for reading my introduction and I hope you have a delightful day!! I am still new to Rover but I definitely have an open schedule for any dog service needed. I am flexible with any day of the week as well as time. I have a unfenced backyard, so prefer dog to have a leash. I do not mind taking the dog to a park either. I don't mind taking the dog for a walk. It is not required but highly recommended as your dog is house trained due to the fact I have no pets at all and I am in process of learning how to train thanks to rover but not yet certified.
“Logan took great care of my dog Chanel. It was Chanel's first time ever being away from us for so long and Logan made everything easier for us and Chanel. Logan provided multiple pictures and various updates that kept our minds at ease. Will definitely book again.”

Julia and her family welcomed our 10 month old shepard into their home and treated her as one of their own. Julia provided updates throughout the day on how our girl was doing and helped our family during a time in need and with short notice! Very professional and kind people. And they were AMAZING with Stella. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Julia for having Stella over and handling her with such love and excellent care! ❤️

91% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
