“Yasmine was absolutely amazing! 🥹 She watched my dog for a whole week while I was out of town, and I truly couldn’t have asked for someone better. She was so loving, attentive, and responsible, and she kept me updated throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was so happy and comfortable with her, and it was obvious that he was well taken care of. I’m so grateful I found Yasmine and would 100% trust her with my dog again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own! ❤️”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina and the care she gave our dog during our 4-night trip. Leaving our pup is never easy—he's such a huge part of our lives—but from the moment we met Christina, we felt completely at ease. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Every morning and evening, she sent us sweet photo updates that instantly brought smiles to our faces and eased any worries we had. We could tell our dog felt comfortable, loved, and safe—and that meant everything to us. It’s such a gift to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and Christina is that person. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a home that was just as we left it. We're so grateful for her care and can’t imagine using anyone else in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Christina!”
“Melody did such a phenomenal job with Teddy and really made him feel comfortable the moment she saw him! Puppy’s are never easy to watch and she exceeded expectations and even taught Teddy some potty training, which was a huge bonus. I really recommend her as she is a very responsible kind hearted person that will do a great job taking care of your dog.”
“My pup Ted couldn't have had a better time hanging with Maddie. We can't recommend her enough! Trusting, reliable, and so caring of our Ted. You can tell Maddie absolutely loves animals. Highly recommend!!”
“Michele stayed over with our dog Connie and she was wonderful, confident, communicative, and quick to respond to every message. She truly cared about Connie, and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend her for house sitting, I would absolutely book her again!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets through my life- dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, even bunnies. I am a foster mom with experience fostering young kittens, administering medications, and giving them a safe space to grow. I currently have some days off during the week, so I have some extra time to provide pet care! I am also available on the weekends. I care for pets in their own homes in addition to house sitting! I can spend the night or pop in throughout the day according to your preference.
“Always a reliable sitter to take care of the pets and the house while we're gone! Our pets love Stella and we appreciate how accommodating she is. Definitely recommend!”
“She did a fantastic job with my baby girl Sami! Paid attention to my instructions, sent a ton of pictures to me throughout the night and was so amazing. Truly appreciate everything and I will definitely book her again when I am back in town!”
“Catherine did an amazing job cat sitting my fur baby, I always get anxious leaving her but I know she was in great hands so I could be at ease. Catherine has really kind, warm energy, and a big heart. She sent lots of photos and updates, took great care of our home too. I will definitely rebook her in the future for when we travel. Thank you Catherine!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys! From owning a tiny Maltese to gentle giant Great Pyrenees, (as well as a rescue Pit Bull puppy who was completely covered in mange - I personally nursed her back to perfect health) we rescued off the street with a special rescued Beagle in the mix, I’ve loved getting to know dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Big or small, fluffy or fabulous, they all have a special place in my heart! 🐕💕 I’m also a lifelong cat lover who has rescued and cared for countless cats and kittens over the years. Whether your fur baby loves playtime, enjoys long walks, is a professional cuddler, or simply wants a little quiet company, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life, from big breeds like German Shepherds to small ones like Maltipoos, so I'm comfortable with every size and energy level. For the past four years I've raised my own dachshund on my own, which taught me how much routine, patience, and attention to small details matter for a dog's happiness. I'm active and reliable, so your pup gets a real walk, not a rushed lap around the block. I'll treat your dog the way I treat mine, and keep you updated with photos so you never have to wonder how the walk went. work a part-time schedule that leaves my Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays completely open, so I'm available around the clock on those days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I have my own dachshund, so morning walks, feeding schedules, and keeping a dog active and happy come naturally to me. On my open days, your pup gets my full attention and a consistent schedule you can count on week after week. In your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you set it, from feeding times and portions to walks, play, and any medications. I keep fresh water out, clean up after every meal and walk, and leave your home as tidy as I found it. On walks, I keep a steady pace matched to your dog's size and energy, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and always use a secure leash. I send photo updates after every visit, and if anything seems off with your pet's appetite, energy, or health, I'll let you know right away.
“Carol provided my senior dog with love and affection. Engaging Carol's services was simple; Carol and I met face-to-face and introduced Violet. Carol was meticulous in explaining the program and we got along great. I wholeheartedly recommend her service!”

“This was my first time using the app and was nervous leaving my babies and having someone stay at my home without knowing them. I searched through many profiles and immediately felt at ease with Jaclyn, she was responsive and proactive. We had a meet and greet and Maia instantly came to her and settled on Jaclyn’s lap while we talked logistics. I was sold when Jaclyn naturally just started petting her and said to both my pups, we’re going to have a good time together. I felt at ease leaving them with Jaclyn, she has a natural calming energy. During her time with my pups she was communicative and followed instructions perfectly. Both my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to find the home exactly as we left it. I highly recommend Jacklyn and will most definitely work with her in the future.”
“Katelyn was great! I had a long list of details for my dog and Katelyn accommodated everything and was able to work with her when she was a little nervous and barking. She was very communicative and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Would definitely have her watch Rue again and would recommend to anyone that needed a dog sitter!”
“Nicole did a wonderful dog with our two dogs. She kept us informed and updated the entire time. We are so thankful to have found someone to love them like her own. I wish I could give her 100/5 stars. ⭐️”

Simply put, Sara is the best dog sitter I've ever used! She being a dog mom to big dogs herself instantly put my mind at ease. She made sure she asked all the questions, knew exactly what my girl needed, and completely made me feel so comfortable. I was overseas for a week and had anxiety beforehand about how my dog would do without me that long but Sara made sure I was completely informed and able to enjoy my trip. Lucy is so excited to now have Sara as a sitter!
Lauren house sat while we were out of the country and did an amazing job watching my baby Layla. I loved that she sent me updates with pictures and videos so I could see how much of a good time my pup was having. Lauren is so pleasant to work with, reliable, and a great pet sitter for your fur baby!
Jennifer did a great job watching my home and my pet. She was responsive, communicative and very pleasant to work with. Arrived to a couple of appointments on time. Loved the pictures of our little one as we were away for 10 days and missing her. We will definitely request Jennifer again when we go on our next adventure.
Maggie is the best!!! We are so happy that we found her and she was able to stay and take care of our dog, Benji. Benji can be a bit skiddish and he warmed right up to Maggie. We can tell that he was really well looked after. She was a great communicator and sent us updates throughout our trip. She watched Benji at our house and left our place spotless. Would 100% recommend! Your pup will be in great hands.
I can’t say enough great things about him! He stepped in to care for my three babies while my regular full-time sitter was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. He came highly recommended by my regular sitter, and from day one he made the transition completely seamless. He followed all of their routines and instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and most importantly, Leia, Luke, and Vader absolutely loved him. 🐾❤️ I’m admittedly very particular about who I trust with my dogs, especially when I’m traveling, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in his hands. Coming into someone else’s established routine and handling everything so effortlessly says a lot. Reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover. I would absolutely have him watch my babies again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Five stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Melody did such a phenomenal job with Teddy and really made him feel comfortable the moment she saw him! Puppy’s are never easy to watch and she exceeded expectations and even taught Teddy some potty training, which was a huge bonus. I really recommend her as she is a very responsible kind hearted person that will do a great job taking care of your dog.
Charlotte was so wonderful with my senior pup. She was communicative and reliable from the initial meet and greet to her arrival time and all during her stay. She checked in daily and was even flexible with my return due to a delayed flight. 12/10 would recommend
Brunna was amazing. Brunna house sat for me while I was out of town for the Labor Day weekend and did an amazing job looking after Meeko and Stitch. Brunna came over to meet my babies and give her a walk through of my apartment a couple days I went out of town. It was immediately clear her kindness and sweetness was recognized immediately by my boys and they loved her as soon as she came into the apartment. While I was out of town Brunna shared updates with me and took the cutest photos of them. I cant wait for my next trip to ask Brunna to watch over the boys again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Franklin Park 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 Franklin Park 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 Franklin Park 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
