Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm raising chickens, pigs, goats, dogs and cats. I cared, loved and enjoyed the company of all these animals daily. To this day, we can't live without pets as they complete our family. I don’t have farm animals now, but would love to hang out with more pets than just our one dog and two cats.

Franklin was amazing. This was our first Rover experience. It was kind of a last minute decision, but we’re so glad we did, and that we found Franklin. His communication was amazing from the start. He sent pictures and updates everyday, sometimes twice per day. It was super reassuring to know that Charlie was doing so well and having SO MUCH FUN. We were even worried he was having such a good time that he wouldn’t want to come home. He was quite exhausted for the rest of the day after we picked him up. We will definitely reach out to Franklin for our next trip. We’re so thankful and appreciative.

Our pups had the best time with Franklin and his family! We received pictures and updates throughout the stay and our boys returned home to us totally pooped from all the fun. We can’t wait for them to visit Franklin again!

Franklin was great. He was communicative, friendly and took great care of Boba. Boba loved his time at Franklin’s house. Would definitely recommend!
