“Our dog Greta was so happy with Jamie! She was flexible with our varying hours and very helpful throughout. We’ll definitely book her again next time we’re in Franklin. You can’t go wrong choosing Jamie as your pet sitter.”
“Megan is a gem, from the moment I contacted her to care for my dog she was nothing but kind and professional. She provided great updates throughout his stay and I felt my fur baby was in good hands. Its clear she cares for animals. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Simone was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Liam! At first I was a little hesitant because I saw she had three dogs, but do not let that deter you. Her dogs are so cute , and friendly, and my dog had such a fun time with them. In fact it was a plus!!! Her husband was also very kind with Liam. I highly recommend Simone.. and I would use her again in a heartbeat!!”
“Alexis and her family were wonderful with my 7 month old mini poodle pup. We ended up in a big jam and needed last minute day care for four days. I sent an inquiry at 8:30 the night before, and Alexis responded within a couple of minutes! She was also great at reporting in and sending photos. My pup was well cared for and had a wonderful time playing with their darling young son and sweet dog. Big thanks to Alexis and her terrific family!!”
About: **Due to extreme heat this summer I will use my discretion with shortening walks for your dog’s health** Current work schedule: I go in office 3 days a week but I can possibly I can flex my days. Available for services with that in mind! I need at least a week for new clients to schedule a meet & greet! I do not accept daycare & boarding without one because I require our pets to meet ahead of time so we can assess if they would be a good fit together. Aside from growing up with small dogs all around, I have solo cared for my senior rescue for the last 6 years up until his passing of old age. I have experience with both puppy and senior dog care, and am very careful with any physical concerns such as arthritis. I have experience administering oral medication both through treats and syringing food. I will love to hang out with your baby whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just coexisting - I’ve done it all. The best feeling I have is knowing I’ve given my dog a life full of love and enrichment, and I’m happy to help as you do the same for yours. I also have owned a cat and cat sit for friends and am more than happy to drop in on them and show them some love! I am definitely also a huge cat lady. I am very patient and understanding that I am a visitor to your pet and I will respect their boundaries while they are under my care. In case of emergency, I already have Battleground (Royal Oaks), Bluepearl (Mallory) and Banfield (Carothers) info saved and have experience with all 3 vets in Franklin. I currently have a full time job, but am generally off by 3-4 and my nights and weekends are pretty open! Some days I work from home so I’m around the area. I currently live in a 1BR apartment, have a balcony but there are paths and a dog park even within my complex, so there’s no shortage of areas to walk! I always keep my babies on leash.
“I’ve used Rover in more cities and states than I can count while traveling with Hal, and the experiences have nearly always been excellent. But Samantha is in a class all her own. She’s professional, loving, enthusiastic, flexible, and genuinely caring — everything you could hope for in someone looking after your dog. Her communication was outstanding, with thoughtful updates and great photos throughout Hal’s stay. I always felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. If there were a six-star option, I’d give it without hesitation. Thank you, Samantha — truly!”
“Alexandrea took great care of our dogs and was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter if you are looking for one in this area!”
About: “I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals — I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. **Please have your dog freshly bathed before their stay “Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time every day for walks, play, and snuggles, so fitting in your pet’s needs feels easy and enjoyable. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of love and attention.” “In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles — I follow their normal routine so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and stick closely to each pet’s usual schedule, whether that’s feeding, walks, medications, or cuddle time. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free, no matter where they are.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. I grew up with dogs and have one spoiled little sidekick of my own, Arlo! A 7 year old mini Australian Shepherd :) Because I work remotely, I’m home all day and fully available to keep your dog safe, entertained, and cared for. Your pup gets my full attention and the kind of care I’d want for my own while I’m away! We take two longer walks a day - in the morning and around dinner time. In between, we walk at lunchtime and play in the yard.
About: I’m a professional dog trainer and experienced pet care provider with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m new to TN and Rover but I have run my own pet care business the past 10 years prior to my move. My background includes dog training, dog walking, pet sitting, and volunteering with animal rescues and shelters, where I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those with special behavioral or medical needs. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Boarding Your dog will receive almost constant care and companionship. I work from home and intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for so each one receives plenty of individual attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog won’t be competing for attention and can truly feel at home. For active dogs, I provide at least one hour of exercise and enrichment each day, tailored to their energy level and routine. Drop-In Visits, Walks & House Sitting I also offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. Keeping your dog in their familiar environment can be a great option for reducing stress while maintaining their normal routine. I’ll ensure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and mental stimulation while respecting your home as if it were my own. I’m experienced in administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and accommodating individual routines and preferences. Whether your dog requires extra patience, a structured schedule, or a little extra TLC, I’m happy to provide personalized care. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your dog’s stay or visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, and I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, reliable, and loving experience for your dog. I look forward to meeting you both! I work part time teaching pilates and my partner works from home so we provide constant care and attention. My schedule allows frequent breaks to attend to the dogs with walks, potty breaks and bonding time with other dogs There’s a dog park and trails at our apartment complex and the dog will be with us at all times. With dogs who are reactive on leash I always ensure to create a safe distance from other dogs and do not let dogs off leash unless in an enclosed space
“Karen was fantastic in taking care of Echo during a doggy day care visit. Plenty of photos and clearly a happy dog when I picked her up. I highly recommend Karen and will be using her again in the future. Thanks!”

“Jodi and Marc have taken FABULOUS care of our golden doodle, Moose! He loves the farm and loves playing with all the other dogs! He loves the freedom to run and play while also having the comfort of a warm bed at night. He always comes home tired and happy. I have such peace of mind leaving Moose with Jodi and Marc because I know he will be taken care of as if he were their own! Thank you so much!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Our Ziggy couldn't have been more happy than she was in her day at Christine's! Christine is a true animal lover and she and her husband's dog Nala was an instant friend with Ziggy. Nala and Ziggy played all day and enjoyed each other's company. Christine communicated well and even taught us a new trick on how to encourage our puppy to eat her food. Whenever we're back in Nashville, we hope Ziggy can have another great day at Christine's.
Jamie was a wonderful sitter ❤️ she was attentive and gracious and kept my puppy safe. Kuzco loved playing with her dogs and he was happy and well worn at the end of the day, which is hard to do with the puppy energy! Jamie was flexible with my last minute, changing schedule around the holidays and I am very thankful!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Franklin on Rover is $34.24 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Franklin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
