About: I used to be a vet technician and also have had lots of experience with my own pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and currently have 2 cats :) I love animals and would always keep them safe and taken care of. I currently pet sit my neighbor's cats whenever they go on vacation! I'm attentive, gentle, and love all pets! I work 2x a week in Jersey City (Tues and Wed) but from home the rest of the week! That means I'm available all day the rest of the week. On days I work in the city, I'm gone between 8 am and 8 pm. But, if care is needed before or after those times, it can be negotiated! I try to be flexible. I keep my space clean and will clean yours too while I'm sitting on your home. Litter will be cleaned with every visit. And I like to supervise feeding to ensure everything is fine. For boarding, I do have a spare bedroom with its own attached bathroom, and the main door has a cat gate + full door so my pets and yours will be separate :)
“Had the opportunity to schedule Rich for an extended stay with my fur baby and he was excellent. Took great care of Damian and provided love that I couldn't. Will definitely use him for a longer stay next month.”
About: When I was 9 or 10, I had a beloved pet that we sadly had to give away due to a tough moving situation. Years later, we were lucky to bring Charlie home and Marvel, and they have been cherished members of our family for a few years. As a remote college student, I understand how important it is to find reliable help for your pets. I'm here for you and available to pet sit any day of the week or over the weekend. Your furry friends will be in good hands! I can walk your dog every 2-3 hours to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. Additionally, I have a fenced yard with cameras for safety, where they can play. My own dog, Charlie, a friendly, neutered, vaccinated maltipoo, would love to have a companion to share some fun with! And Cocker spaniel named Marvel (he isn’t neutered yet due to age) who is also vaccinated.
“Ashley was a fantastic pet sitter. She watched our dog a bird over the holiday and could not be happier. Can not go wrong with trusting Ashley with your pet, we will 100% be using her again”
“We have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasn’t a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!”
About: I have 2 years of experience working with pets in general as a veterinary assistant. My love for animals is beyond what words can describe. I’m currently working full time. For now, I can work 3 days out the week for 2-4 hrs or overnight with a 2 week notice. My eyes would never leave them, they’ll always be by my side no matter what. I will treat your pet as my own pup Sandy.
About: I’ve taken care of many different clients and run a business working with cats, dogs, fish, birds etc. Providing quality and affordable pet care for your pets. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Each day starts with checking in on the pets under my care, ensuring they are well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable. Throughout the day, I schedule regular playtimes and walks to keep them active and happy. I meticulously follow any specific instructions provided by pet owners, such as administering medication or adhering to particular feeding schedules. By prioritizing the well-being of the pets I look after, I ensure they receive the consistent, loving care they deserve, seamlessly integrating pet care into my everyday life. Check us out on social media otepetsitting & otecarrentals. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, involves providing a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. In my home, I ensure that pets have their own designated spaces, complete with cozy bedding, toys, and access to fresh water and nutritious food. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and full of love and attention. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet’s routine and comfort. This includes feeding, administering medication, providing exercise, and ensuring companionship. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, keeping it tidy and secure. Whether at my place or theirs, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, ensuring the pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for at all times.
“Patrick was amazing! He went above and beyond sending photos and videos of our pup, letting us know she was having a great time. I would absolutely book him as a sitter again.”
About: I have always had a passion for pets and their care. Over the course of my childhood I have volunteered at animal shelters, animal hospitals and various other organisations. This love for animals has made me pursue a career in the military. When I graduate, I hope to branch Military Police and be assigned with a K-9 unit, to further my involvement with animals. I have a small pet of my own, who was rescued from a shelter at four months old. He is now going on 7 years. I have also cared for elderly, impaired, disabled and special needs pets. No one in my family, including myself, has ever smoked, been convicted or even thought to have committed a crime, and we have a clean record. My hours are very flexible and I treat every pet as if it were my own. Always taking into consideration their wants and needs. This love for animals makes me a trustworthy and realiable caregiver for your beloved pet.
About: I am the biggest lover of dogs! There are no limits when it comes to loving your dog and being a doggie mom myself - there’s nothing more special than loving and nurturing your dog and showing them the best quality of life. They give such unconditional love and to show that love back to them is priceless! I will treat your dog like they are my own - kisses and hugs and running and having fun! I am a nurturer by nature and a protective momma bear and I would always make sure your doggies are in the safest environments. I truly have so much love for all animals and dogs hold a special place in my heart. They deserve the world and more!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, however, a few years ago I took over on my own. My mom and I would watch animals for neighbors, family, and friends, and I’m honored to take over that roll for the both of us as a responsible, reliable, and caring pet sitter. I’m a college student, so I’m typically in Blackwood from 8:30 am to 2:00. I also have a morning weekend job in haddon heights, but that is no longer than 5 hours every other weekend or so. My pets at home are loved, happy, and healthy. Their safety is more important than my own, actually. I believe that you should leave a space nicer than you found it, which is why I’m a fantastic house guest. I will always respect your space

“First time using Rover for our 1yo shepherd. Natalie was a strong communicator, timely, and reliable for an overnight stay in our home. Jax was walked both days for over 1 mile along with playtime. Would definitely use Natalie again!”
“Emily did great at watching both my dogs. She was great at sticking to my dogs medicine and feeding schedule. Followed all instructions I had left about them. Took them on a walk when she didn't have to. I trusted her completely in my house while I was away as well. She seemed to enjoy being around my dogs which always helps ease anyone worry that a sitter would treat them kindly. My dogs also seemed to like her as well, which is helpful. In fact, I have actually hired for two more over night occasions this month. I would highly recommend her.”

We needed a catsitter over the weekend as our kitten was recovering from her spay. We were so nervous about having to be out of the house with her recovering from surgery, but Batool really set our worries to rest. Communicative, attentive to all our kitties--all around fantastic. Thank you, Batool!
Ashley was fantastic with our two doggies! They were well taken care of and loved during our time away. We appreciated her efforts especially with our senior dog and ensuring she was let outside frequently. We would recommend her services, and plan to rebook in the future. Thank you!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Franklin Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Franklin Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
