“Marianne is wonderful. She always lets me know that she got to my place , with no problem. Fur and feather babies are ok and if anything is out of the ordinary. I’m very lucky to have found her so close to where I live.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small pets, and I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior pets that need a gentler pace, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I plan my day around scheduled visits so I’m never rushing through their time. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and safe, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also big on communication, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

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.

About: Animals are my favorite thing in the world! Growing up we always had pets and I currently have 5 of my own. Professionally I have worked with a range of breeds from Rottweilers to chihuahuas. I understand the worries of most pet parents when choosing a sitter or walker. Safety and comfort are my top priority and I promise to take care of your pups as if they're my own. Look forward to meeting your pet soon! I currently work a job with flexible hours and am often left with free time. The only set schedule I have is for my online classes at Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 12 pm. But I can attend from anywhere as long as I have WiFi. I’ll keep your pup company in your home and provide play and potty breaks regularly. If you have a preference for anything just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions to make it as comfortable for you and your pet. I also promise to update you regularly with pictures and videos if you’d like! For boarding I have a fenced in yard and backyard cameras so I’m always able to monitor your fur baby. But I promise never to leave your pup unattended as they do their business. I also have 2 fur babies of my own so they’ll never be lonely. My pup Maisie just turned a year old and loves having furry friends to play with! While my Tilly is older and tends to keep to herself to snooze all day.

She checked in every day, kept me updated, and made sure my fur babies were happy and cared for. I came home to two very content cats and a spotless space. I’ll definitely be hiring Hailey again for future trips. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Isabelle! I’ve been caring for pets for over 2 years, including volunteering at animal shelters. Since June, I’ve been working with Abandoned Pet Rescue, providing love and attention to animals in need. From walking energetic pups to giving extra TLC to shy cats, I’ve handled pets of all temperaments and needs. Whether it’s a fun walk, feeding time, or keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pet—let’s connect! Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings on both weekdays and weekends. This allows me to offer dog walking and pet sitting services at times that are convenient for pet owners. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. With experience from volunteering at shelters, I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable by maintaining their routines, offering plenty of playtime and affection, and staying alert to their well-being.

About: I grew up on a farm and have a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, pigs, you name it! I like taking a long walk in the morning, followed by playtime and sometimes a run or visit to the lake in the afternoon. I don't mind getting dirty with the dogs, and will play in the rain! A walk after dinner is also part of the typical routine. In North Fort Lauderdale, we have an open, airy, loft style townhouse. The backyard is fenced in, and we are only a short walk away from the dog park. Our neighborhood has several shaded, tree lined streets, and is a nice, quiet, safe place to take a walk. I have a plethora of patience as well as experience with puppies, seniors, and special needs pets. I also am available to care for your pets in your own home. My husband and I spend the summer in Saratoga Springs, NY, and the winter in sunny Fort Lauderdale, FL. The schedule created through Rover opportunities will be my primary work committment. My schedule is flexible so I am able to meet your pets needs and fit into your routine. I prefer to book one client at a time in order to give your pets the care and attention they deserve while you are away. I have had many animals my entire life, so I know how important it is to stay aware of your surroundings at all times. When walking your dog, they will always be on leash and securely held. I love taking photos, and will provide several from our time together, but I do not use my phone for fun when with your pet. Please be patient if awaiting a response, as I focus 100% on the pet I am currently with, and do not have my phone glued to my hand all day. Animals are aware when you're not paying attention and they will take advantage of you! I pride myself on providing the level of care and attention I expect when leaving my own animals in someone else's care. Attention to detail and listening to what the animal is telling you is key to keeping everyone safe and happy.

About: I am a passionate dog lover, with more than 6 years of dog sitting experience and 5 years of experience volunteering for a local no-kill animal rescue. I am also an owner of two rescue dogs, ages 8 and 2. Home is a chill, well-behaved “pack environment,” with a fenced-in backyard for safety. My dog Charlie is very playful and welcomes all new dogs with such happiness, it’s infectious. Come book a stay with us! I am a full-time pet sitter with daily availability, along with weekends. I offer day care, dog park trips, overnights and stops to the home for visits and walking. And since I do this full-time, I can pay special attention to individual pet needs- to diet specifications, animal needs and owner requests. I have a fenced-in backyard, which is very shady, with a tall wooden fence and a separate Astroturf area for the dogs. I also have two very friendly dogs who play well with other pups. I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I have a separate bedroom with a large crate, available as needed. All dogs are fed in separate areas.

Sandra is committed and keeps an amazingly good schedule considering her full time obligations - I really respect her work ethic, reliability and follow-through.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Franklin Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 3,324 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin Park. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
