House Sitting in Franklin Park

“I usually use Rover's boarding option, however, I wasn't able to find anyone in close proximity during this busy summer. With this being my first time using the house sitting service, I was nervous about leaving my dog and opening my home to someone I had just barely met. However, Mahle made this experience less stressful. We established a meet and greet a few days after I initially requested the days I needed a sitter for my dog. She responded promptly to my messages and showed up right on time. She was friendly, interacted and played with Koa as we discussed Koa's schedule and personality. When we were away, I did have to message her to see how everything was going and she responded quickly with updates of my dog and a picture. She was very respectful of my property and most importantly I came home to a happy dog. I feel more at ease using this Rover option and will definitely ask Mahle if she can sit for my dog in the future. Thank you, Mahle!!”

About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I'm a pet sitter with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have been caring for pets for several years, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your furry friends while you're away. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I always treat them with the respect and care they deserve. I am reliable, responsible, and always go the extra mile to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy while in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I am a Registered Nurse who works night shift three days a week so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I'm sure we will be able to work out a time for both of us. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, following special dietary requirements, and handling any other specific needs your pet may have. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your pet and ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away.

“Brianna was an excellent sitter for my dog. She was very attentive, caring, and communicative with me as well. From the beginning she put me at ease and made sure my dog would be getting the care that she needed while I was away. She also took incredible care of my house, which was above and beyond, and greatly appreciated. I would absolutely not hesitate to have her watch my dog again.”

“Mallory did a great job of watching our dog Cooper. She and Emily were very responsive to any messages, very professional with the set up of the services and we were very stress free leaving the dog with them. Will absolutely be booking again in the future.”

“Brianna was fantastic! She stayed in my home from Thursday until Sunday to watch my nine-year-old Vizsla and three year-old cat. Not only was she extremely responsive, but proactive about communication as well! She sent photos and kept me informed of things going on at my house like bad weather that caused a power outage and my lawn care company coming to cut the grass. She also kept my home extremely clean during her stay, honestly going above and beyond in several ways! My dog can be quite needy, and Brianna was not phased by that. She made me feel very comfortable about trusting her in my home and with my animals, which says a lot about her professionalism and level of care. While I would love to gate keep her so she is available whenever I need her, I figure she needs more than 1 “regular.” 10/10 highly recommend!”

About: I work from home so this allows me to give a lot of time and care to your pup. I am happy to take your pup along with me on my multiple walks per day and play in the yard. My son and I take a lot of joy out of hosting dogs and have so much fun with our Rover guests! Please note the dogs in our pictures do not reside with us and will not be present in our home when we have puppy guests. We only host one guest at a time (unless it’s a family pair). We would love to host your pup if it is house trained, friendly to all humans and other dogs, and does not have any history of aggression, separation anxiety or destructive / behavioral issues as we would not be equipped to handle. Meet and greet prior to boarding is our request to ensure a great experience for all. Thank you in advance for your transparency on these requirements! I work from home and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.

“Mikaela did an amazing job watching my two cavvies for an overnight while I was at a wedding! She gave me plenty of updates and she was so good with both of them, especially the one with medical issues and needs! Thank you Mikaela!”

“Updates the whole stay & so wonderful. Thank you !”

“We needed a dog sitter for our 2 Chihuahuas after booking a short last minute trip. Chang responded right away, and even came for a meet and greet that night. Chang sent lots of pictures, and followed our dogs complicated feeding instructions. She was very sweet with them, and took her time with their separation anxieties. I would definitely ask Chang to sit for us again in the future.”

Lori W.

“We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our girls. They were very well cared for and it was such a relief to leave them with her during a very stressful time. We would recommend her to anyone who wants someone who will take excellent care of their pets and we would love to use her again!”

Michelle L.

“Mike was absolutely wonderful. He watched our pups in our home and I felt safe and stress free. My dogs were in such great care. They loved him... maybe a little too much! I would definitely book with him again.”

Melissa A.

“We have used Jennifer several times now and she does a great job for us every time. She is very communicative and punctual and very good at updating us on how our pup is doing. We will definitely use her again as we always come home to a safe and happy pup!”

Michael F.

“Faux was absolutely Amazing and took Great care of Yinzer. A last minute booking and my 1st time using Rover so I was quite nervous. Faux far exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend and will be using Faux’s Service again in the near future. Thank You for taking such Great Care of Yinzer.”

About: While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve been around them my entire life and have dog-sat for friends and family multiple times. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, especially those who are friendly and well-behaved. I’m calm, patient, and good at picking up on animals’ body language, which helps build trust quickly. I’m happy to take dogs for walks, feed them, play, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow your care instructions closely. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily make time during the day or evening to care for pets. I’m responsible with time management and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. Pet care fits well into my week, and I truly enjoy making it part of my day. I respect every client’s home and follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I make sure doors are secure, walk pets on safe routes, and always double-check things like water, food, and medications. I also take time to make your pet feel calm and cared for, especially when they’re adjusting to your absence.

“Christina was the perfect dog sitter. She provided consistent updates on our dog, showed him love, and took wonderful care of our home. We will be using her services again! 10/10 would recommend.”

Denielle D.

“Portia was fantastic. She provided continuous updates and even stayed with Waylon longer than requested. She responded instantly the entire weekend and even let me know there was a tornado warning and asked if there was anything else she needed to do because of the weather. She was great to work with and was very flexible and organized with her scheduling. I would highly recommend Portia and will be using her again.”

Michael L.

“Sarah was great, stepped in with short notice and stayed at my home with my 2 big dogs. She kept us informed and sent pics- all with a creative streak that we enjoyed. Beast thing I can say is the dogs behaved as if we hadn’t been gone art all! Definitely recommend and hope to be a return client.”

About: I've was in the Navy as a K9 trainer/ handler for the last 9 years traveling the world protecting official dignitaries and safeguarding U.S. critical infrastructure. I've spent my life training some extremely high energy breeds AND cleaning up those high energy messes! I am well equipped to cover your home while you're catching some vacation time, or if you'd like some training tips and tricks, I can do it all! Presently taking a gap year while I apply for different jobs since I left the Navy, my availability is quite open, as long as I'm not traveling. I come from a very diverse background of training practices and habits. I can cater to whatever needs you require from complex instructions to dogs that just need a little more training!
