“I can’t recommend this amazing pet sitter, Sarah, highly enough. She cared for my cats (5) as if they were her own. Attentive, gentle, and incredibly reliable. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and regular updates, photos and videos, that put my mind at ease. Truly exceptional care. She goes above and beyond!”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve provided walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention for family and friends’ pets. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for pet care throughout the week and can work pet visits into my schedule. I’m responsible, dependable, and will make sure I give each pet plenty of attention during every visit. I’m especially interested in regular walks and drop-in visits and will communicate with owners to make sure their pets receive the care they need. I’ve cared for family and friends’ dogs by taking them on walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have plenty of food and water. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll follow each owner’s instructions carefully while making sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Luke was always within reach if we needed to get in touch with him. He sent pictures and daily feedback of our cat which really o put me at ease when we were away. I highly recommend like Luke. He is a wonderful pet sitter and pet lover. Thanks again for taking such great care of our big guy Oliver!!!”
“Kelsey was wonderful! From our initial consultation, I knew she was the perfect person to care for our snuggly kitty, Biscuit. While we were on vacation, she was incredibly communicative and sent lots of updates and photos. I felt completely secure, happy, and relieved knowing Biscuit was in such caring hands. It was clear Kelsey genuinely cared about her and made sure she got plenty of attention and love. I would recommend her to anyone and would absolutely book her again!”
“Joceline did a wonderful job taking care of my kitty! He is diabetic and she administered his shots as well, in fact she kept him on schedule and went above and beyond with a very early arrival, his shots are at 6 AM & 6 PM.”
“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
“Chelsea was amazing and helped me out at the last minute when I really needed someone. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of neighbors, friends, & family pets since I was in middle school. I own two very unique cats, Daemon & Love that i adore & keep me busy sometimes. I love taking dogs or cats on walks. I used to love having my dog go on a run with me, but she has long since passed away. She wasn't the best at some dog commands from training, but she did enjoy getting a treat when she did listen. My work schedule is flexible during the week due to my level. I typically can come anytime in the early morning to about 10am & then evenings after 6pm. If someone is very close by, I can stop over during a lunch break as well around 2pm. I live in a two story condo, so my cats typically have run of my house. I adapt to anyone's preferences & home environment to care for their family fur baby to make sure they are comfortable while someone ia away.
“Ashley provided outstanding service while housesitting and caring for my two felines, one of whom needed insulin. She went above and beyond in every way and I cannot say enough good things about her. I highly recommend her and will definitely request her services again. She regularly updated me with information and pictures while I was away on vacation which was much appreciated.”
“Natalie took great care of my kitties while I was out of town for work. Truly went above and beyond when an unexpected apartment maintenance situation arose, she handled everything with great communication and ease! Would recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have a dog of my own who I care for and have trained, along with the dogs I’ve grown up with. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will treat your pup like my own and provide them with the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I’m a registered nurse and typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability on my days off. While my schedule can vary slightly from week to week, I try to keep consistent shifts whenever possible. I typically have availability both during the week and on weekends. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to your pets, so I’m happy to work with you to coordinate a schedule that best fits you and your pet’s needs! I have a friendly dog of my own and live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of outdoor space for walks, exercise, and playtime, including an on-site dog park. Although I don’t have a fenced-in yard, there are plenty of areas for your pup to get outside, burn off energy, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a crate available if needed, and my own dog is crate-trained and comfortable being crated. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes! My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, whether that means maintaining their usual feeding schedule, providing plenty of walks and playtime, administering extra attention, or giving them a little extra time to adjust to a new environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Your pet will always be treated like family!
About: My family always had quite a few pets growing up. Not just cats and dogs. We had birds, reptiles, fish and farm animals. It wasn’t always easy but it was worth it. Now it’s just my pup Beef, making friends around the neighborhood. My schedule is fairly flexible. Making a regular schedule is always preferred, but last minute requests are welcome. Not all days and pets are the same! I do prefer to care for pets at their owners home, at least at first, where they’re comfortable. If the pet is more independent, walks and feeding can be of service. My pup, Beef loves to play and has brought other dogs out of their shell to socialize. So if they get along, he would be there for our walks and playtime.
“Cassandra was WONDERFUL! My cats were happy when I got home, but I could tell that they were lovingly cared for. Cassandra sent me pictures every day and messaged me to see if there was anything else that she could do for me. The house was immaculate when I came home and the sheets were washed. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely caring young lady!”
About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and over the years I've had the chance to care for both dogs and cats for family. I've watched my girlfriend's family's three senior cats (now 15, 14, and 21 years old) several times while they've been out of town, making sure they're fed, have fresh water, and keeping their litter boxes clean. Caring for a 21-year-old cat has taught me how important patience and consistency are with senior pets. I've also cared for my brothers' dogs—a 5-year-old Siberian Husky and a 7-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix—sometimes for several days at a time. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs as well as older cats and always treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently a full-time student finishing my last semester of college while working part time as a digital forensics intern. During the summer, my internship is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and I'm available for pet care anytime after my internship each day. Once the fall semester begins, my internship is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 p.m. I'm also available most evenings and weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around you and your pet's needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I never force attention or affection if they are not comfortable. I believe pets should be able to approach and interact on their own terms. I make sure their needs are met through feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I always follow the owner's instructions and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“I booked Sarah through Rover to check in on my pets while I was on vacation, and she was amazing! She visited daily, walked Yogi three times a day, and made sure Luna was happy and cared for. I loved getting picture updates, and she contacted me right away with any concerns. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were well cared for, which let me really enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love them so much! I have experience pet sitting for families all over my neighborhood and can even administer medications if needed. I would love to help take care of your pet! I’m a full time medical student, but love dogs and cats so I am extremely flexible and willing to take time out of my day to walk your dog or spend time with your cat. I am very familiar with skiddish dogs as both of my own are rescues. I will be sure to keep dogs on a leash at all times and walk them in safe areas.
“There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.”

Kate just finished taking care of my cat Boomer, coming over twice each day for 8 days. The pics she's sent show a very happy cat and it's a huge weight off my shoulders knowing he's not stressing out because I'm away. Each visit includes pics and notes on how he's doing, including noting anything or is the ordinary. All I could ask for. I won't hesitate to use her services again.
Emily saved me! We decided to go to Ohio for my mom’s birthday (just Sat-Sun) but with all the planning for Mom, I forgot about Doja until Wednesday! I reached out to Emily, saying I’d understand if she was busy for Sat afternoon-evening. She fit Doja in! Emily is irreplaceable - dependable, thorough, flexible, uses good judgement, great with Doja etc. etc. She’s the best!
Amy is a fantastic and loving caregiver!! We are so lucky that we found her. She is attuned to both of our pets needs and spends quality time with both them in addition to all the tactical stuff (food, water, potty breaks). She is highly communicative and even brings in packages if they come so the house feels attended to as well! Do yourself a favor and book Amy!!
We have been working with Ayla for a couple of years while she lived in Chicago, and we were so sad to learn she was moving home to PGH after graduation. Ayla is extremely reliable and such a wonderful pet sitter. She is very detail-oriented and prepared for every visit. She most recently cared for our cat (cranky) but also has experience with our dog (pittie), and they are both enamored with her. She truly got to know our pets, and her care for them exceeded our expectations. She always provided regular and consistent photos and updates, easing our minds while we were away. From drop-ins to house sitting, we always came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean apartment at that. There's no need to look any further for your go-to sitter because Ayla is it! We can't thank her enough!
Taylor's pet care service was exceptional! Daily reports were much appreciated - and she did much more than we had asked or expected. We could not have been more pleased with her services - and definitely plan to request them again if she continues to provide them. Would highly recommend Taylor!
Rae Lynn did a great job taking care of our cats. We were a bit changeable about the booking: we removed a date, added a cat, added the removed date back. Rae was wonderfully flexible and accommodated all our short-notice changes. She sent photos and updates, and our cats were well cared for in our absence.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Franklin Park is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $21 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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 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.
