“This past week, we had our first ever experience using Rover. I’ll admit, we were hesitant to have, for lack of better terms, a stranger staying in our home taking care of our two dogs. As soon as we met Robin at the meet and greet, the hesitancy fell away. She stayed in our home for four nights and the way she communicated, how she very clearly loved on our babies, and the care, attention, and commitment she showed to the job was evident from moment one. Robin sent countless photos and videos while we were away and each one only showed how much she cared. Not to mention, our boys looked as happy and as comfortable as could be. Robin spoke to us like we have been friends for ages and she immediately picked up on the quirks of our dogs while not holding it against them. When we arrived home, we were greeted with the most adorable, hilarious, and detailed report of how our boys did while we were away. We have already asked Robin to come back for our next planned trip and would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. Thank you, Robin, for going above and beyond! We can tell the boys already miss you.”
“Thank you for caring for Baby. It gave me such a peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for the toy for baby, that was such a kind gesture! Would hire again”
“Jason did a great job watching our German shepherd and our Lab He came out to meet them before and stayed 2 days and nights. Jason is reliable and a great sitter we will definitely use him again”
About: Hi my name is Savanna and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. With years of experience walking, playing with and feeding both dogs and cats, I truly understand what it takes to provide pets with love and attention they deserve. Having lived with dogs and cats for many years, I’m reliable, honest, trustworthy, and always punctual when it comes to their care. I currently live in Mokena with my own beloved dog, and I’m happy to assist nearby areas, including Tinley Park, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Lockport, Homer Glen, and Manhattan, IL. I work full time, but my schedule varies, so I’m looking for someone who values flexibility just as much as I do. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding or companionship, I’m dedicated to ensuring pets feel happy and care for. If you’re looking for a dependable, kind and experienced pet caregiver, I’d love to help! My work schedule varies, but I’m looking for something flexible in the areas of Tinley Park, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Lockport, Homer Glen and Manhattan, IL. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter, I’d love to help! Providing care for pets whether in my own home or at a clients house- requires a combination of attentiveness, patience, and a deep understanding of animals needs. Here’s how I can ensure pets receive excellent care in either setting. Understand their routine, respect their space, provide quality care, keep the home clean, monitor their health and behavior, build trust and comfort, and always stay in communication!
“Jackie was amazing! This was my first time using the service and after meeting her I felt completely comfortable leaving her with my dog. My dog is older and requires special attention and Jackie took extremely good care of her. She even sent pictures. I would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Sarah did an amazing job with my two kitties. She was super communicative and clear on when she'd be arriving at the house and what her schedule was like. She sent tons of pictures of the cats and was super responsive when I'd text. It really helped us be less nervous on a week long vacation that we had someone responsible and nice at the house to look after the cats. I could tell by the pictures she sent that they were relaxed and happy. We will be using her again for sure! The peace of mind helped us enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies.”
About: As a child who was never allowed to have pets, I spent most of my time volunteering and then working at humane societies and rescues! I have experience with all breeds, all ages, all activity levels, and behaviors. I own two dogs myself, one of which is reactive so I am very familiar and comfortable with dogs who may have triggers. My other dog requires medication, so I am comfortable administering those if need be! Friends and neighbors have relied on me countless times for dog walking, sitting, quick drop in's, or short overnight stays. I currently work from home, so I am able to drop in at almost any time during the day! I am an early bird, so I'm happy to drop in in the early hours of the morning. I do not offer pet care in my own home. Based on my experience, dogs are much more comfortable in their own space. I am happy to visit your pup any time!
About: Current work schedule: Mondays for 10 hours. Available other days of week. I currently don’t have a dog but I’ve always loved and had dogs my whole life so I'm excited to care for your pet and enjoy their company. I was devoted to my previous senior dog who was deaf and blind. I’m patient, nurturing, and love being outdoors for walks! I usually work 8-3 allowing plently of time after work for walks and playing, making me a great fit as a dog sitter. Im occasionally off work on some week days too. I hope to provide companionship for your pet while ensuring you feel relaxed knowing they are loved, safe, and having fun I like getting out for walks for some fresh air so having your pet with me would make it more enjoyable. I love the happiness dogs bring me! I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, right around the block from my favorite walking trail and inside, my condo gets a lot of sunlight which is always nice!
About: I love all the animals <3 I have some free time occasionally and thought this would be nice to do for a while. I had a yorkie for 13 years. I also have 2 cats, who have turned me into a (part time) cat person, (full time) dog lover. I also have a 5 year old 100# blood hound and a 5 year old child, who also loves all the animals. I believe she’ll be a vet on day… or an artist. I have time to walk or sit. I have a large fenced in yard to play. I will not cat sit in my home only because I know how good cats are at hiding, but I am very happy to cat sit in your home. I work a part-time like schedule so have plenty of time for pet sitting/ walking. Also my work schedule varies by day and sometimes time, I update my calendar here for availability. I have a large fenced in yard to play and a trail nearby for walking. I dont mind pets all over my house and dont mind them on the couches either. I have crates available if needed.
About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I offer a home-based boarding experience designed for pets who deserve thoughtful, elevated care. My home is calm, beautifully maintained, and intentionally structured—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and personalized attention. I share my home with a 15-year-old miniature poodle, so I selectively welcome only gentle, compatible dogs to maintain a peaceful, low-stress environment. With limited capacity, each guest receives attentive supervision, individualized care, and a nurturing, high-quality stay. I’m enjoying early retirement and have chosen to devote my time to providing full-time, attentive care for dogs. This allows me to be consistently present, unhurried, and deeply focused on each guest’s comfort, routine, and overall well-being throughout their stay. I have a beautiful and clean spacious split level home for your fur baby to freely move around in. My home features a securely fenced yard designed for safe, supervised playtime. Dogs enjoy calm outdoor breaks and gentle activity in a controlled environment, always under attentive supervision to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
“Brit was available last minute and took excellent care of our Moose, even though she was recovering from a little illness. She was prompt, communicative, and caring. Would recommend her to anyone in need of great care for their fur family.”
About: My first job in high school was working at a dog day care/boarding facility! I worked there for a little over 2 years before I went to college. I learned a lot about dog behavior, grooming, and overall care for dogs. Before I was able to get a job when I was younger I would walk my neighbors’ dogs. I also grew up with Labrador Retrievers and currently my family has a 6 year old black lab named Tanner! I’m currently a college student on summer break so my availability is very open! I also work at green garden country club so occasionally I will be busy. I have always loved animals but especially dogs. I loved growing up with dogs, birds, and fish. As someone who has worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, I have hands on experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels! I love making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of updates and photos so you can feel relaxed.
About: I’m experienced with all animals including reptiles. They are all babies in my eyes. I grew up with tons of animals and now have a pitbull and a kitty aswell. I’m familiar with special needs such as medication and can provide special accommodations. I currently run my own business so i am usually free to come and say hi to your baby. I’m always out walking aswell so walking pets is added fun. I always have an eye on pets i sit and walk. Any odd behavior or unsure behavior will be noted. Checkup updates will be provided as i would want someone to do the same for my baby. I will make sure leashes and collars are secure and accurate for the services.
About: I've grown up with a yorkie (family dog). Within the last year I adopted a dog of my own. He's a black lab/australian shepherd mix who has become my best friend. He's unfortunately living with my parents for the summer which is why I'm hoping to hangout with some furry friends! As of now, I have not yet established a work schedule. I have more availability to care for pets during the day, but also willing to care for them at night depending on my schedule! I cannot care for pets at my house, but I am open to other options! I love going on walks and staying active! I would care for your furry friend the same as I would care for mine!
About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

Kylie was such a blessing to us!! My dogs got along with her wonderfully. She communicated great from the very first message until the last hour we had her scheduled!! She made it so much easier to enjoy our family vacation without worrying if our 4-legged family members were doing ok. We would definitely use her again!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Frankfort on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,842 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Frankfort. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Frankfort walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Frankfort maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Frankfort choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
