“I can’t recommend Jamie enough! Remi settled in right away and clearly made herself right at home. The regular updates and pictures meant the world to me, and communication was always fast and reliable. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Lavar and Amber were amazing! We went out of the country for a week for our wedding and they took such great care of our baby boy. Their communication was wonderful and they made sure to send pictures daily. We could not have asked for better caretakers for our fur baby. We highly recommend them. Thank you!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Serenity has been an incredible dog sitter for our senior dog, Molly. She watches her for extended periods and always provides the most loving, safe, and comfortable environment while we’re away. Molly has elderly-dog needs, and Serenity is so patient, attentive, and accommodating to them. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Molly is so well cared for and genuinely loved in our absence. We are beyond thankful for Serenity and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care!”
“I am very thankful for Christopher. He was available last minute to dogsit my baby Bruno. He also had a dog himself that my dog could play with and when I picked him up I could tell that my dog enjoyed himself and had a good time. He also was very communicative during the stay and provided updates with pictures. Thank you very much for taking care of my baby and providing him a good experience. I Would definitely use him again and I 100% recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter. Thank you again Christopher!!”
“Huri, thank you for taking such good care of Frankie. I appreciate the updates and pictures and I know he’s happy and well cared for because he comes home so tired from all the play time at your place!”
“My dogs came back fluffy and happy. I can tell they had a great time with Christy. Our normal sitter canceled less that 24 hrs before a trip, and Christy swooped in to save the day. I’m so grateful!!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Alex. I was born and raised in Nashville, TN, and live here in Franklin, Tennessee now. Growing up, I have always had a dog in the family, and my husband and I have adopted a senior dog and have fostered a few in past years. I am a very active person, so I can assure you that your pup will be well exercised! I would love to get to know you and your pet and be able to free up your busy schedule by ensuring your pet is happy and healthy after a walk, a drop-in visit, or watching them while you are away! I am self-employed and work from home, so I will always be here to take care of your little one while you are away. I’d love the chance to chat and get to know you and your pet further! I work from home so I am always available to be with your dog throughout the day and able to feed and take out for potty breaks/walks at any time. Treating them like I would my own! Making sure they are fed on time and have access to water at all times, getting in exercise and potty breaks throughout the day, and loving on them while you are away. They are always free to be out of a crate throughout the days and nights, as we are home the majority of the time.
“Just picked up Charlie, Peanut, and Rhemy from Sarah’s place. While they were happy to see us, I think they may have been thinking when can we go back? We had a great experience booking, dropping off, and picking up. Sarah is a great communicator and pet sitter. She and her children took great care of our dogs. I hope to book again soon!”
“Rich and family took great care of Denver. Denver is an active lab and they played with him often. They even gave him a bath and clipped his nails. Highly recommend and will request again!”
“Abigail was so sweet with my puppy, trying to understand what the puppy needs and providing closely. Also thank you for taking last minute ask for the sitting request. Absolutely the best!”
“I recommend Robin to everyone. My dog unfortunately had a medical issue arise during her stay (from an underlying issue, not due to the stay), and Robin was excellent at communicating with me and caring for her until I made it home. Thank you Robin.”
“Pam took great care of our dog while we were on vacation! It was evident that he had a great time with how happy and comfortable he looked at pick-up. We would definitely recommend!”
“Miss Birdie loves staying with Christy and we can always rest easy knowing she’s being well cared for while enjoying the extra touches Christy provides… the bougie doggie room and the fenced in yard. The pictures and videos Christy sends daily are just icing on the cake!”
“T sent us fun pics every 2 days, was very responsive, and returned Meemo in great shape. She was also super accommodating when we split the stay between my wife and I (we each had $50 Rover credit). Great value for us! Seems like Meemo got lots of exercise and social interaction with the other dogs, which we're very happy about. She even came back smelling good - a bonus we would not have expected. :)”
“Can I give 6 stars? Karen was great to work with. Very communicative and flexible. My dogs stayed for 2 weeks. Karen sent pictures and updates regularly. I loved her setup for the dogs. My dogs love to sit in the yard and watch the world. She's out in the country with horses nearby. I think they spent a lot of time there. Plus she has a special area in her house set aside for the dogs with beds and water. Overall a great experience”
“This is the second time that Jenae has taken care of my boys for an extended stay. She takes very well care of my babies and I was not at all worried about leaving them for a week. Jenae is my go to pet sitter.”
“Tara was a wonderful home for our dog. You can tell how much she cares about the animals and does all she can to keep them active and happy. We absolutely will look to stay with Tara again should the need arise. Book with confidence…”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Simone was such a wonderful fit for our Harley! She was kind, caring, and had the sweetest, calmest energy. Her communication was amazing, and I felt completely at ease knowing Harley was in such good hands. It’s such a gift to find someone you trust with your fur baby, and I’m so happy we found Simone!
Anita is very communicative, understanding, and easy to work with! We appreciate her so much and are grateful to have found her. Bella clearly has a great time with Anita because she’s always happily exhausted (in a good way) when we get home! We highly recommend her!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Franklin is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $73 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,718 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Franklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
