“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”

“Chris is my go-to sitter. My cat doesn’t like anyone except for me and she’s been warming up to Chris so well! Chris sends me THE BEST updates when I’m gone and actually spends time playing with my cat, which I love! She even threw out some problem-solving ideas when I left the state...with my keys! Book Chris!”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.

“I returned from my trip to find a happy and healthy Teddy! Natalie took such good care of him and she just knew what to do with my anxious 8 year old puppy! Natalie went above and beyond and knew when he needed more attention and gave it to him. She kept me informed and eased my mind about leaving him. I will never kennel him again! I have already booked Natalie for my next trip. If I could give her 10 stars I would!”

About: I love dogs and came across this site and thought how it would be nice to have guests in my home. I have a decent sized back yard and there is a walking trail I could walk a pup or two along. I would do my best to keep your dog comfortable in my home. I have four kids in my home that have so much love for animals. Hope to hear from you soon! There are pets in the home but I do not keep in the same spaces at any time regardless if friendly or not. It’s more for the comfort of a new space for your pet and for yours as an owner. I do work a lot. However Thursday thru Sunday’s I am home full time during the day. Monday thru weds I work regular business hours and also have a crew at home willing to live up and care for our guest. We would regulate one room to your pet but it’s with us. Our family room where your pet will never be alone. Always someone watching tv, relaxing, or even sleeping in.

Jackie was always on time, reliable, kind and cared about making sure our cat was comfortable and well taken care of. We loved seeing pictures she sent. Her son played with our cat which made us so happy and reassured that our cat was getting extra love and attention. It gave us a real peace of mind when we were away. We would definitely recommend her and happily book her again!”

“Lillia was absolutely wonderful while boarding my kitten Petunia for two weeks! She was very attentive and followed Petunia’s feeding and medication schedule with great care. Lillia also kept me updated with pictures/videos and gave me daily updates. Petunia unfortunately had a couple of accidents while adjusting to a new environment, and Lillia was always very sweet and understanding. It’s clear Petunia loved her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Lillia was the best, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time Petunia needs boarding!”

She was also very kind and flexible with rescheduling the meet and great due to family illnesses and modifying the visit when our geriatric girl passed prior to the trip. She went above and beyond my expectations including cleaning the litter boxes more frequently, tidying around the litter boxes, food area, and Momo's vomit/hairballs.”

About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

2nd review coming in. This was my original booking with Chris, the second one was an emergency extension. But as I have said in the other one, Chris is a fantastic pet sitter who truly knows and loves animals. My furr baby was very well taken care off like we've never left and I will definitely come back to Chris at any point i need a pet sitter! Top marks!

Chris was wonderful! I can’t say enough good things. My cats are very shy and he had them literally eating out of his hands on day one. He kept me informed with photos and texts and was so gentle and kind. I felt completely safe and full of trust that he had them comfortable during the heatwave that hit this week. He even did some random house tasks. He is incredible. Book him. Pay him. Tip him. It’s more than worth it.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Franklin Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Franklin Park on Rover is $44.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,925 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
