Rachel was amazing with my Marley! This was my first time using Rover and I can admit I was a bit iffy about the app. Marley is 8 and has never stayed away from me, outside of my parents keeping her. I am very relieved and glad I found Rachel!! She sent lots of pictures and my mind was at ease for my trip!! Thank you thank you Rachel, Marley will definitely be hanging out again!!

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!

Friendly, wonderful, and my dogs came home happy and relaxed. First time they've come home and haven't slept for days and days. Also a very easy person to talk to, she's good with people and animals.

My pup is 6 months old and very skittish with new people and surrounding, they were great with meeting him before hand a few times, and very patient with him. They sent me pictures almost everyday and took great care of my baby while we were gone.

Micco had such an amazing time with Michael and his wife. He loved playing with their dog running around! They even had their fence installed while Micco stayed with them. Will definitely be booking again when we need another dog sitter.

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had the joy of caring for animals of every size and personality. From dogs and cats to birds and fish, I’ve spent a lifetime giving animals the love, attention, and structure they need to feel safe and happy. I’ve been involved in competitive field trials, obedience training, and plenty of everyday fur baby fun, and those experiences have taught me how to connect with pets in a way that feels natural and reassuring. Whether through boarding at my house or drop in visits at yours you can be assured your pet will be well taken care of. Your pet will enjoy our fenced‑in backyard, daily walks, and plenty of one‑on‑one attention. I share my home with two children, two dogs, and three cats, so we understand exactly how important it is to have a dependable sitter your family can trust. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely to include: feeding schedule, playtime, medications, and any other special instructions because consistency helps them feel right at home. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, and I’m committed to giving them a safe, loving, and comfortable stay every time. I have a flexible and accommodating schedule to for weekday and weekend boarding or drop in visits. I can be available for most last minute request and would love to take the stress out of finding someone to watch your pets. I have a fenced in yard that offers plenty of room to run and play. When not outside, your pet will be able to roam free in the downstairs of our house while being entertained and closely monitored.

Very flexible and willing to assist in very unorthodox situations. She demonstrated true caring and interest for my 9 month old German shepherd puppy and went out of her way to accomodate me and him.

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 💙

Jaime and her family were so kind and great to my fur-baby. I appreciated the periodic check ins and pics she sent me. I think Casper had a great time and with the kids especially because he did not want to get in the car to go home. Even after we got home he was sad for a few days. I highly recommend her and hope Casper can come back in the future. Thank you Jamie!

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.
