“Yulissa took great care of our kiddies. All cat areas were clean when we came home, and the bowls were filled. Yulissa also communicated very well. One of our cats needs medicine, and is not easy to deal with. Yulissa always let us know how it went. She clearly established a good relationship with the cat that needed medicine, because she let Yulissa brush her 😊. Overall, we really recommend Yulissa..”

I live a active lifestyle and like to hike and take long walks. It is a constant in my life to take care of pets. I care for my own 4 year old Chihuahua/Yorkie mix and my brothers shih Tzu daily.

I can also crate your pet if that is something you prefer. If you leave feeding or medication instructions do not worry it will be completed and you will be notified.
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.
“Faith is dependable and does everything exactly as expected and uses common sense if in doubt. My dog penny made friends with Faith immediately, which doesn't happen often.”
“Justice is great! She is reliable, friendly, and sent thorough updates and pictures while checking in on Cooper. Everything went super smoothly and we'd be happy to work with her again!”
About: I have been working with pets and farm animals my whole life in barns, ranches and city settings and absolutely love what I do. I work with all breeds and sizes and can run with the best of them along the lakefront, fields and streams. Being outdoors and seeing your pets tireless playfulness are just some of the perks of my work. I can also administer medications such as aerolators for asthma, subcutaneous shots for kidney disease, pill pockets, etc. Our pets are our family and I’m grateful for their love, cuddles and silliness and that we have them in our lives. ❤️ I am open to daily dog walking and pet caregiving currently in your home as I have recently moved to Chicago from New York to help care for my aging parent so I am willing to work full time caring for your fur babies. I have a car and am well versed in dog parks and forest preserves throughout Chicago When I am in my own home I treat every pet as they are my own. Whether your pet needs cuddles, takes up half the bed or just wants quiet time, they are always happy and more than comfortable with my care and affection.
“Collette took care of our Val when we were gone for two weeks and a a half! She made sure that Val gets all the love that she needs. She is very responsive to either texts or the rover app. We will definitely use her again. She is Val’s top pick! Thank you so much! You’ll always be our special request.”

Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy
“Christine was great. She took time to get to know the dogs and went above and beyond to give them extra loving and care for our first time away from them. I will ask for her again every time!!”
“Adriana was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. This was our first time having someone watch Caius and she kept us notified and sent photos the entire time. He is definitely more of a reactive dog and gets pretty territorial of our home, but he felt so comfortable with Adriana. She also watched him over the holidays which was much appreciated. We will absolutely be having her watch him again in the future. Thank you so much! ❤️”
About: USE THIS LINK FOR $20.00 OFF FIRST BOOKING WITH ME https://www.rover.com/sit/jonelr56094 My name is Jonelle. I recently retired from The Office of the Chief Judge Circuit Court of Cook County. I have owned, fostered and rescued almost every type of animal from dogs, cats, rabbits and reptiles. I have volunteered at animal shelters as well. I have owned multiple dogs in my life and I am trained to administer medicine and CPR as well as senior dog care. I have fostered litters of abandoned wild bunnies as well as puppies. I'm recently retired and animals are my true passion in life. I can think of no other way I would love to spend my time now then caring for animals. Rest assured I am always home. Your Pet will never be alone. I have a very large fenced in yard conveniently located near O'Hare if you are catching a flight and need your pet cared for. I have 2 shihtzu's who get along great with other dogs of all sizes. All animals will have free reign of my home. I will only crate if requested by the owner. I will treat your animals like my own. They will be allowed on my couch and my bed. It's important to me they feel comfortable as it can be intimidating to be in a new environment.
“Litzy was great! She responded quickly and even though it was last minute, still made time to meet before we were leaving out of town. She even cleaned the food dishes! Thank you for giving our previous little guy some TLC while we had to leave.”
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. :)
“Zion is super friendly and she was the first sitter for my puppy. I was hesitant having a sitter at first but Zion dispelled all my worries. She is kind, caring, and gentle and I feel I can trust her to watch my puppy anytime. 10/10 would recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin Park
This was the first time we used a sitter through Rover and we were more than satisfied. Brian did everything we requested and more. He walked our dog even though we did not require him to and he checked on the cat (who hides). Our dog bonded with him the first time she met him. When we returned our pets were very happy to see us but we could tell from the reports and pictures Brian sent us that they were well cared for and happy. We will request Brian's services again.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Franklin Park is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,721 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Franklin Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
