“I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.”
About: I have taken care of my friend's pitbull. His name is Blue and he is the cutest most dog ever. If I could post a picture of him, I would. But I would take care of their dogs when they went on vacations or on work trips. I would go into their house to feed, clean, and play with blue. The owner would want me to take a picture of blue every time I went. They would be out for a while, so I had to stay the night, or I would pick up blue and take him to the park or Starbucks for a pup cup. Blue was not the only pets they had! They had a cat and bunnies, so I did go out to their coops and feed, clean, and take care of any other responsibilities needs with the animals. The cat named lea that would not stop talking when I entered. I did the same for her as the other animals feed, care, and play. I am a flight attendant and I am flexible. I have a couple of days off during the week. We can communicate my schedule even a month in advance because we are awarded our schedule every 18th of every month. On my days off I can start early, mid-day, late, let talk about it :D If there is a certain way that the animal needs to be taken care of, I take the precautions and care for that animal. For example, blue the animal I took care for my friend stool was watery she told me it happens a lot because he either eating too much or he is lonely. So, at first, I was giving him less of what he is used to and the problem persisted. Next action was to spend more time with blue, and I did that and his stool improved.
“Joanna was everything we could have asked for (especially our puppy, who loved her). She was early every time, excited to walk our pup, took her out for a long time and brought her back bright eyed and bushy tailed. She even cleaned doggo when she decided to roll in fox poop while on a walk. I highly recommend her for dog care!”

“Faith has been such a super help with walking my two dogs while I am at work with long days. She’s incredibly reliable, communicative, and flexible/understanding if my schedule varies week by week. The peace of mind I get knowing that my boys are taken care of during the day is worth every penny! Would highly recommend booking with Faith!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I couldn't have one at home so I would always go to family and friends to help pet sir or walk whenever they needed it. Once I got a place of my own I started fostering dogs and cats for people who found animals on the street. I specialize with aggressive animals and have done lots of training for puppies and seniors as well. I've never met an animal that didn't take well to me hence why I am the animal whisperer. This is currently my full time job while I'm studying to be a mechanic. I'm in the process of getting my certifications on my own so my schedule is very flexible. I always make sure to check the boundaries set by you always. Safety is everything in this line of work. I've had little ones of my own and they meant the world to me. I'll treat them and protect them as if they were my own kids.
“Kyle did an outstanding job with our little pup! He provided us with updates and photos during the walk, which really showed how much he cares. His extra effort made all the difference. Thanks a ton, Kyle!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾
“Jessica was very kind to walk my dogs when I hurt my foot! She’s flexible and a great communicator, and my boys were happy and tired after their walk with her. Would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently have a schedule consisting of classes and basketball. I have a bit going on, but whatever free time I have, I am available! I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.
“Malcomn is wonderful with our dog Rosie. She is very friendly generally but she took to him right away and gets so excited to see him for walks. Malcomn is also very communicative and provides detail of their walks together. He also somehow manages to get the best photos of our girl when they are out for walks. 10/10, no notes!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Growing up, our family dogs ranged from a big German Shepherd mix, to a Boxer, a Blue Heeler and finally down to dopey little Dachshund named Luther. That little ween stole my heart and now I’m completely hooked and have two of my own named Maisie and Miso. If you know dachshunds, you know they come with plenty of personality, stubbornness, and unique quirks. Having them has given me tons of patience, attentiveness, and a great understanding of how to handle dogs who like to do things their own way. Because of my experience with them and their challenges, I'm great at reading other dogs' needs, staying patient through stubborn moments, and keeping them safe and happy. Your pup will get all the love, attention, and careful supervision they deserve while hanging out with me. I do not have a regular work schedule as I am working on building a business. Because of that, I am very flexible and able to work with your needs. When it comes to safety, trust, and your pet's environment, I want you to feel completely at ease while you are away. I am more than happy to follow any and all instructions you provide down to the exact detail. If you don't have a rigid routine written out, don't worry at all; I will lean on my years of experience to pamper your dog, keep them comfortable, and give them the best possible care. You can also count on me to send regular photo updates throughout my time with them, and I am always happy to hop on a FaceTime call if you want to check in and see your happy pup live. :)
About: Hi! I’m Joshua, an actor and avid animal lover here in Chicago. Recent Northwestern grad. I grew up with many cats and a beautiful white lab, so I am familiar and comfortable with care for both cats and dogs. I love long walks and recently thought, why not bring some new company along for the journey! I am responsible, hard working, caring, and friendly. Look forward to meeting you and your pet friends! I currently have my mornings and afternoons free! Occasionally I’ll have a rehearsal or a class in the evening. If you are looking for someone to walk your dogs during your 9 to 5, I am the perfect fit. I am not currently offering service out of my own home, but as a traveling actor familiar with temporarily living in rentals/others’ homes, I have frequently helped out with feeding, crating, walking, and cleaning up after others pets!

Chris was an exceptional dog walker. He was highly communicative, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure Scar received excellent care. I especially appreciated that he provided updates after every walk, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chris was always respectful, kind, and professional, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Scar was in his care. I highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Franklin Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Franklin Park after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin Park. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
