Tali loved Kelly! Kelly took the time to get all the information from us before Tali’s walk. She was prompt and was loving with Tali on her walk. Proof is in the pictures Tali thoroughly enjoyed her time with Kelly.

Jacee took fantastic care of our 17 year old shy cat! Mazikeen needed daily medication and somebody to win her over, and we were initially quite nervous to leave her home for 11 days. Luckily we found Jacee, and from her first update on we knew that Mazikeen was in wonderful hands! Jacee kept the cat room clean, and sent us pictures, we could see that our cat was happy and well taken care of. If we ever have to go out of town in the future we will definitely ask Jacee to watch her for us! We couldn't be happier with her!!!

Coleen was awesome with our two senior cats! We were a little worried leaving them with someone new, but the cats had nothing but pawsome feedback. Both kitties are on medications and very demanding, and Coleen exceeded all expectations. Coleen was quick to respond to any questions and provided thorough details of each visit along with a plethora of photos showing the kitties in their natural habitat which was really helpful. We came home, the house was in one piece, looked a little better than before we left, cats were happy, not overly stressed, had plenty of food and water. What a relief to have someone we can count on to watch our fur babies. I would not hesitate to schedule with Coleen again, as she was stellar! Thank you for looking after our two cats!! We will absolutely book again!

Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!

About: My family has rescued animals my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of animals professionally since my very first job at a dog groomer. Since then, I've spent most of my time working at emergency animal vets, with foster dogs, and at doggie daycare! I love working with all species of animals and will treat yours just like my own! I'm here to make sure your pets feel happy, loved, and safe while you're away. I currently have a pretty open schedule and am looking to care for pets full time. I can easily do late nights and early mornings! When I stay in your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they're fed on time, exercised, and getting lots of attention (and cuddles if they want them!) I pay close attention to each pet's needs and act accordingly. I pride myself on being dependable and having strong communication skills. I will always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve often been told I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer” because pups seem to gravitate toward me, and I think it’s because they can sense my genuine love for animals. I’ve been a dog lover since childhood, growing up with 4 family dogs, and that passion has only grown over the years. I recently cared for my own senior pomeranian, who lived to 18, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention that senior pups need. On the other end of the spectrum, I know the energy and consistency it takes to care for playful puppies. Right now, I share my home with two spoiled rescue dogs, Chico (chihuahua) and Squeaks (tripod Pomeranian) who remind me daily how much joy and comfort pets bring into our lives and family. I have taught my dogs how to sit, stay, down, shake, come, and spin. So maybe I can even teach your dog some new tricks :) I also know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member at home. My goal is to be their bright spot while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, a potty break, or simply some kisses, belly rubs, and companionship. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to fit in drop-ins, potty breaks, quick walks (10-15) min, kisses and belly rubs during the day while you are away! Right now I only offer drop-ins, potty breaks, and quick walks for your furry babies. I do not offer any home services at my personal residence. If any service is requested outside of the normal services offered, I would be happy to help and discuss prior to my drop-in visit.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

Karina took very good care of our high maintenance senior kitty who requires oral meds and supplements mixed into her food. She was also very communicative. We felt relieved to see pictures and videos of our girl who we could tell was happy to see Karina each visit (even if she didn’t like her medicine).

About: I have been around dogs my entire life since I was 3 years old. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs up to 14 years old. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I regularly care for my family's dogs whenever my parents are out of town, handling daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I have cared for dogs and other pets for family members and friends while they travel. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs, my reliability, and the genuine care I provide to every animal I look after. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to maintain their normal routine so they feel happy and secure. As a Physical Therapy student, my weekdays can be busy with classes and studying, but caring for animals remains an important part of my daily routine. Every day, I make sure my pets are fed before I leave for school and again when I return home. I also stay on top of responsibilities such as cleaning the litter box and making sure all of my animals are comfortable and well cared for. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate additional time and attention to pet care. Because I balance a demanding academic schedule with caring for my own pets, I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining consistent routines. Pet owners can trust that their animals will receive dependable care, attention, and affection while they are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a comfortable environment for the pet. I understand that pets feel most secure when they can stay in their normal routine, so I make every effort to follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. For dog walks, I will ensure dogs are securely leashed, remain aware of our surroundings, and provide exercise appropriate for their age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I will make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean up after them as needed, and spend quality time giving them attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I am dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

Nicholas did a great job looking after my cat. She was always very shy and he would make sure to find where she was which would sometimes take a bit longer as she found new hiding spots. He completed all tasks that I asked of him. He was always on time and very professional.

I can’t say enough good things about Chris and how well he cared for my dog and cat. I was nervous about leaving them at home for the first time instead of taking them to a sitter, but it turned out I had nothing to worry about. Chris was reliable and showed up when he said he would. The love and care he gave my crew was amazing. He also communicated really well during each visit, sending updates, pictures, and observations about how they were doing. He didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions, which meant a lot to me since my dog is a senior and has a few health concerns. I can’t recommend Chris enough — he really is that great 😊 I’ll definitely be using his services again in the future!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Franklin Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Franklin Park on Rover is $13.91 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 13,310 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franklin Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Franklin Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
