Shelly was awesome! She gave me daily updates on Mako while I was out of town. I knew my dog was safe and in good hands. I will definitely use Shelly in the future.

Can’t say enough great things about the care that James C. & wife provided to our elderly dog while we were on vacation. They were willing to take Apollo at the last minute when our previous boarding reservations fell through. Our dog had recently experienced a spider bite with subsequent need for wound care & medication. Couldn’t have asked for better care due to their knowledge & experience. They provided updates & readily responding when we had questions. Would highly recommend!

Our fur baby had a wonderful time with Rachel! We got updates while he was there of him sleeping and playing. He was exhausted when we picked him up and is still tuckered out 2 days later! We would love to use Rachel again!

The best she did everything to accommodate my Trudy. She also went out her way to be available at the time I arrived from airport even though my flight was delayed. People don't understand how hard it can be planning a vacation or getting away when you have a pet, Vania was a lifesaver and Trudy enjoyed her stay as well.

About: I have owned and worked with lots of different animals including dogs, cats, goats, pigs, horses and other small animals. I have worked in a vet clinic for 5 years . I also have some grooming experience can bathe, cut nails, trim feet , and sanitary clips. I am very trustworthy dependable and knowledgeable. I can be very flexible with my schedule and am very punctual. I will make sure your dog is happy and wagging for me to come back! I am available most weekends from Friday to Sunday all day. I am sometimes able to do Thursdays and Mondays as well with my floating work schedule . I like to care for the pets in their home as close to what they are used to with their mom or dad home .

I was pleasantly surprised in the level of care and love extended to Kodi. We had several disappointments with kennel service. Lisa’s care for Kodi was outstanding. I am so happy I decided to try Rover and picked Lisa. She is the greatest!!!

Jamie was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and Jamie made it an absolutely great experience. Luna was absolutely worn out and had to catch a nap when she got home. Jamie and her family are wonderful people. After meeting with them the first time we knew that Luna would be in great hands. She sent pics and daily updates without us having to ask at all! We definitely will be using Jamie in the future and we highly recommended to anyone else looking for a dog sitter.

Jane and her family were able to take my request during a last minute change of plans on my part, and made to make Rogue feel at home as soon as she walked in the door. We were all sad when Rogue had to finally leave but they took such good care of her during her stay and I'll definitely be contacting them again if I ever need a sitter 💙

FAQs for Boarding - Franklin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Franklin on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 184 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

95% of Franklin sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Franklin landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

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.

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 VA 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.
