About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.
“Marissa has been so helpful! Our puppy is so energetic, so young, and honestly a handful and Marissa has more than kept up. She makes sure our pup is cared for and she keeps us updated with everything that happens, we feel so comfortable with her around Winston. He can be a little needy, and truthfully so is his dad (lol) and she has been happy to help with all of our specific instructions. We couldn’t have had a better experience!”
“Marianne was amazing! Exactly what we were looking for. She is very caring and attentive, we felt we could count on her and that our cat was in great hands. I will book her again next time we are away from home. Thank you so much for the great service! :)”
“I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time but Deborah was so nice and understanding. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of my baby to let me know exactly what was going on everyday. She also went above and beyond and got my mail for me, took beretta for walks, and even cleaned the living room for me to return home. I could not recommend her more to anyone else!!”
“We were so lucky to have Kimmeth as our first pet sitter! She was extremely attentive and kind to work with, sending us daily updates/pictures of our kitty. The next time we leave town we know exactly who to call! 5 stars all around!”
“Sandy is the best!! I have zero worries about my Lily girl when I leave town. Sandy always treats Lily like her own and makes sure the routine is stable and consistent, which helps Lily have less anxiety while I’m away. As always, THANK YOU Sandy for all you do!”
“Mara is extremely attentive to my Samoyed, Bianca🤍. Mara is always letting me know about her behaviors, her bathroom use, and her appetite. It is wonderful to have someone who cares so much taking care of Bianca🤍! Thank you Mara!”
“Sarah was an absolute dream who saved us in a pinch to watch our little cavalier who hates being alone during the day. She was so communicative to ease some of my fears,and sent so many lovely pictures while I was away!! Fantastic experience all around!”
“We are very happy leaving out Kitty’s with Estefania We couldn’t ask for more kind and reliable person and responsive So so pleased with all the pictures and messages Aldo happy we are located just few steps away from her a big plus to all the other stuff is that’s we are located just few steps away from her !Thank you so much !And hopefully we can have her help again soon !”
“Genesis is very good and gentle with animals she spent extra time with my puppy and went out of her way to make sure he didn't leave a mess in the house. She was thorough, I would definitely recommend Genesis to care for your pet.”
“Kristina is great! She took awesome care of my kitty, had good communication and was reliable. We had some unexpected changes due to a tropical storm and delayed/cancelled flights and Kristina was very helpful and flexible. I highly recommend!!”
“She was awesome! My baby Mia loved playing with her. Very trustworthy person. She made sure my baby was ok and updated me the whole time. Will use her again in the future!”
“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”
“Kelly is so great with my puppy! She has great communication and sends the cutest pictures!! She also takes great care of my home while she is there.”
“Gheraldine did a good job with my cat. Feeding daily - changing the water, cleaning the litter box and giving my cat affection. She communicated if she would be late or early. I do recommend her.”
About: For over 10 years, I've cared for dogs of all kinds for friends and family. I've provided walks, feeding, playtime, house sitting, and in home boarding. Pets always receive dependable loving attention. Since I work from home full time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, and drop-ins throughout the day. I can also work on the go, making it relatively easy to adapt to each pet's needs and routine. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment that’s perfect for small to medium-sized dogs. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend the whole day with them, making sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your loved one enjoys the best pup-cation possible!

Stephanie was kind, caring, punctual and super attentive to my 2 kittens. We hired her services for 8 1 hour drop-in visits. Sent updates every single time w photos! Grabbed mail for us everyday. She discovered a pool leak and quickly stopped it with some over the phone guidance, thankfully. We were so relieved. She is highly recommended -hope you get a chance to hire this loving human for your fur babies. 5 stars plus plus plus! Thank you Stephanie!
Alex did an amazing job with my two cats! She sent thoughtful daily updates with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept the litter box clean, made sure they always had fresh food and water, and clearly took great care of them. I came home to happy, well cared for cats and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
Nicole was amazing. I’m new to the app so I kept messing up my bookings, texted her last minute and she was there for my babies with in 20 minutes! Communicated so much, sent plenty of photos, and I can see in the photos that my anxiety ridden pup felt comfy with her. Thank you Nicole!
Marianne was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Rosie. She was thoughtful, attentive, and clearly cared about making Rosie feel comfortable while I was away. One of the sweetest touches was that she even turned on some music for her, which says so much about the care and kindness she brings. Knowing Rosie was in such good hands gave me real peace of mind throughout my trip. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marianne to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Marianne!
Came home from our long trip to a happy and healthy kitty. I’ve never used Rover before but Dawn was amazing and will be our go to for any future trips. She was always on schedule and had a consistent routine that gave our cat a sense of stability while we were away. Dawn took great care to make sure everything was taken care of with detailed report cards and pics after each visit. Would highly recommend! She’s awesome!
Liraz is the best! She is 1000% reliable and responsive, communicates frequently and shares updates and pics. Our cat is always happy to see her and I have complete peace of mind knowing that our cat is truly loved and cared for. Liraz goes above and beyond in her care!
Marcos took great care of my mom’s cats while we were away. He was attentive, kind, and very reliable throughout the entire booking. He made sure the cats were well cared for, sent plenty of photos and updates, and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out with a question. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing the cats were being looked after by someone responsible and caring. Everything was done exactly as promised, and the communication was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely book with Marcos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.
This was my first time with a cat sitter and Gary put me at so much ease. I trusted his judgement, but he checked in when he had direct questions about something I might have forgotten. I didnt understand the Rover check in messages at first but came to really look forward to pics and updates about my girls. He was also soooooo good with my girls. I have two cats. One is usually a little shy at first and takes time to approach people. But she was very comfortable rolling over and slow blinking for gary within 10 minutes of him stepping into my apartment. It was comforting knowing my girls were enjoying some parts of my time away with Gary there to provide them some comfort and company.
Karen always goes above and beyond! Our sweet girl is disabled (Manx syndrome) and has very unique care needs, and we always feel completely comfortable leaving Tilly in Karen’s care. We can’t recommend her enough. It’s very evident through the care she provides and the work she does just how much she loves animals 🐈⬛🐈

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,145 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Franklin Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
