“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I grew up in a house full of big dogs, and have cared for small dogs as well for pets of all shapes and sizes for family, friends, and coworkers. I am a dog mom for a sweet girl I’ve had since October 2022, when she was 8 weeks old. I work a 9-5 but am available to spend meaningful time with your beloved pet before I leave for work, and will be so happy to come home to your furry friend after a day in the human world. It’s your home and your rules that your pup knows and follows already. I think their routine is important to keep to, so what you do I will try my best to do. If they sleep in bed, then I’m all in for cuddles, if they’re kennel trained then I respect the decision to give them their space to relax and decompress.
“Seana did a great job, followed directions wonderfully, and made us feel very comfortable with updates and pictures! We highly recommend her! This was our first time using anyone other than a kennel or relatives, and we would not hesitate in the future.”
“Abby was absolutely wonderful! I was in a pinch and needed someone to come over and check on my dog the same day. I blindly reached out to her, she responded quickly and was able to make it happen! We then had her come check on our dog the following 2 days as well. She let me know when she was on her way and gave me thorough updates throughout. I’ll absolutely be using her again and if highly recommend her!”
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal care and behavior. I have experience with large breeds including German Shepherds and Huskies, chocolate labs and small breeds as well so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and long walks. I understand how important pets are to a family and will treat your pet like my own while providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I work Monday- Friday from home so your baby will almost never be alone while staying over. My morning normally begins around 6a.m. With my day ending around midnight. I have a large fenced in yard perfect for catching some sun rays and getting the zombies out. I do have two dogs to keep your furry baby comfy. However if you would like them to be separated I can keep them separated on different floors in my home.
About: Hello, I am 33 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I used to work at an Emergency OverNight Hospital for small animals (dogs and cats) I specialize in walking reactive aggressive dogs (I have a GSD that does not like other dogs) as well as escape artist dogs. I've had numerous different breeds, from hound dogs to huskies, so I am used to all temperaments. I love animals and have a lot of patience when it comes to animals. I don't mind walking in the rain and I always carry an extra harness, leash, and freeze dried lamb treats! I believe dogs are more then just family and deserve to be treated like it. I believe pets do better when watched inside of their own home, rather then going to a strangers or being boarded, I work from home so I will never leave your pet alone for more then an hour at a time, ensuring less crate time and a better balance for your pet. I work from home so I am always available for any emergency, no chewed up toys or foreign bodies on my watch! I never leave pets for more then an hour ( if i need to run to the grocery store) so whatever they need, I am there for. I prefer to stick the the routine that the owners have already set. I also prefer to do a meet and greet before any over night pet sitting to ensure I am the best fit for your pet and your pets needs. I believe that pets are family and should be treated as such.
“Steph came for a meet & greet with my scared cat, Billy. He is newly single after his sister passed in November. He is scared of everyone and anything. But Steph was great! She knew how to approach him and listened to my concerns. We came up with a plan to help Billy feel comfortable when she comes to sit for him. I am so relieved to have someone like Steph to help me care for him.”
“We contacted Catharine with very short notice to meet and care for our dogs. She was willing to come and help us without hesitation. Our dogs were happy and cared for after each visit. Catharine was very communicable and easy to chat with to square away details. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Thank you for everything you have done for your cats over the last year and a half, Julie! We have never been anything but completely satisfied with the gentle and loving care you provide for our cats when we travel. If we were not moving out of state, we would continue to use your services into the future. I highly recommend you and your services!”
About: 🐶💛 Hi, I’m Trevon! Nice to meet you & your fur baby! Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals with my whole heart. My very first pet — a fluffy rabbit named Gizmo joined my life when I was 10, and I’ve been surrounded by furry friends ever since! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including dogs, rabbits, and gerbils I happily took care of everything — feeding, cleaning their spaces, playtime, snuggles, and building real bonds A little more about me! I’ve helped friends & family groom their pets — baths + nail clipping included In 2021, I volunteered with a Petsmart cat rescue I helped clean their spaces, fed them, and made sure they felt loved and entertained My current animal family: • Rita — my sweet lionhead rabbit • Strelka — my energetic 9-month-old Manchester Terrier puppy We’re currently working on training, and I love watching her grow each day! She’s good around other dogs and people though! Animals truly bring joy into my life, and I’d be honored to take care of your pet like part of my own family I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ✨ My Daily Pet-Care Routine ✨ I currently work night shift, but I’m usually home between 6:40–7:00 AM. Morning I arrive home and feed my dog, then we play, cuddle, and bond for a few hours After a short break, she goes outside around 9:30–10:00 AM for fresh air & potty time Midday Around 12:00–12:30 PM, I feed my girls again They eat twice a day, but I’m happy to follow your dog/cat’s feeding schedule! Afternoon Another potty/play break around 2:00 PM Back outside again around 3:00 PM Evening • She’s allowed to stay out of her crate freely until about 8:00 PM, which is her cozy “bedtime” At this time I’m willing to do Client drop in , day time day care your pets will be treated like mine , grooming (only bathes & nail clipping) and dog walking.

Nicole is absolutely fantastic. As a first time dog owner, I was really nervous leaving my puppy for the first time and Nicole totally put my mind at ease right away - with texted updates and photos in addition to the very detailed reports! I felt so much better immediately! Her level of communication daily is such a relief to me and makes me so happy to see Penny having fun with her! She goes above and beyond everyday - keeping me posted when Penny is sick, taking our trash out, adding extra food when I forget. I truly can’t imagine what we would do without her and am so grateful that Penny is in the best hands when we are at work!! I recommend Nicole so highly!
This was the first time we did house visits for my two boys and Margret has been nothing but wonderful. She was always punctual and cared for my babies while I was away. She made sure to send pictures from every visit and my doggos loved playing / interacting with her. I would highly recommend Margret to care for y’all’s babies 🐾🐾 needs .

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.
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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Franklin Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
