“Jamie took great care of our dog Rocky this week. She was kind enough to offer a meet and greet, and then was flexible to change the date when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Jamie sent daily updates with photos. Rocky enjoyed playing with Jamie’s dogs and her other boarding pups. She seemed to feel at home with Jamie and her family. We will definitely rebook with Jamie in the future.”
“Sherri and Bob were truly exceptional and took wonderful care of Charlie during the worst snowstorm we have had in years. Even with extreme cold and heavy snow, they went above and beyond to make sure Charlie was cozy in their lovely home, and clearly well cared for, which gave us real peace of mind knowing she was warm and safe. We rely on Sherri and Bob as our “go-to” Rovers. We are deeply grateful for their care and would recommend them without hesitation.”
“Matt and Candice give Coco so much care and attention, she seems hesitant to leave when I pick her up. I'm so pleased to have them keep her on my trips.”
“Heather and her family took great care of our dog Remi! Loved the daily photo updates. It’s clear the dogs they watch immediately become part of their family. Would definitely book with Heather again if we need someone to watch Remi while we’re out of town.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Jackie is the BEST! We left our pup with her while we were on vacation and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We got regular updates and pictures. She loved our pup like her own and we felt very comfortable while we were gone and didn't worry about a thing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”
“Pamela and her family were very nice to Roman. I got pictures and video while out of town. Roman is older and set in his ways. They made him feel at home. We will definitely use them again. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Cam and Koko were well cared for during their stay and came home happy and healthy. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“Sarah is amazing! She helped us out on short notice and was able to watch our dog for the weekend. It’s clear that she and her family treated Remi like their own. Appreciated the updates and pics of her time there. Will book again!”
“Jessica was so great to work with! Very communicative and transparent. Our dogs stayed for two nights and they were tuckered out when they got home. We will absolutely be reaching out again!”
“Lorie was attentive, loving, and amazing. Always sent us an update picture of Maddie (our Aussie) playing and having the best time ever! Thank you so much for caring for her!”
“Incredible experience! This was the first time we were leaving our puppy with a boarder. I felt so comfortable leaving Cleo in Cheryl’s care. I wasn’t worried about our pup at all. I received daily updates and pics. And Cleo had the time of her life staying with Cheryl. Thank you to Cheryl and her family for taking such great care of our puppy!”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
“Hunter & Julie take such good care of our fur baby & we love that Tally gets to hang with them & their dog during her stay. They give us daily updates & send photos. They are the perfect fit for us & Tally!”
“We are repeat customers and really appreciate the care that Levirina provides for our little dog. He usually has a hard time adjusting to new locations and doesn’t eat much food, but with Levirina our dog is at ease and can maintain proper eating habits. Levirina is really great at communicating and always updates us on our dog’s stay.”
“Adrienne was amazing. Scout was part of the family. The check-ins and pictures made me feel so much better while I was on vacation knowing my boy was having a great time.”
“Katherine watched Hank for a week and she was great! Hank had a good time playing with her dog and another golden she was watching at the same time. He settled in quickly and I got daily photo and text updates. I will definitely use her again!!”
“Robin was a great choice to watch my little baby Snickers! Protective, knowledgeable, caring, and super communicative. I never had to worry about him in her care. She’s become my first choice for his sitter whenever I’m out of town. Cats, dogs, she’ll take great care of them!”

Christine W. and her husband took great care of Lucy while my family and I were out of town! Lucy was happy to see them when we arrived, after a brief meet-and-greet earlier that week, and the sent a sweet picture of her during out trip and let us know that she was doing well, which always means so much to me when I'm away !
Sharon is truly wonderful. My dog gets so excited when we pull into her neighborhood for drop off, and I feel so at ease when I leave her with Sharon. Sharon takes incredible care of her and sends me pictures and updates! It really is such a gift to have someone I trust to watch my beloved pup while I’m gone :)
Megan is awesome! 5 out of 5 stars ***** She did a great job taking care of our dog. She has a lovely house and a fantastic yard that he loved. Her other dogs played nicely with mine. Megan was great about sending us daily updates with photos, so we felt relieved to know he was doing well. She was so fast to respond to my messages- so fast! Our dog had a great time and we always felt that he was in good hands.
It was great having Amy and her family watch Zissou! They were very communicative and did so much to make sure I felt comfortable leaving Zissou with them. And Zissou had a blast while staying with them - it was great for her to have so many other dogs to play with and burn all of her energy! We will definitely look to book with Amy again when we need a place for Zissou to stay.
Mochi really enjoyed his stay with Kristin! He had a great time with the family, and he looked so happy in all the pictures and updates we received. It was clear he was well cared for and having fun. We would definitely book with Kristin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!

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.

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.
96% 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 TN 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.
