“Jessica did a great job! She’s warm and kind and we came home to a tidy house and happy pets. She sent lots of pictures and was responsive and respectful throughout. She definitely gave us peace of mind while we were away, which is priceless.”
“If you need a house/dog sitter, look no further! Lauren was absolutely awesome. We have a 100lb Doberman who is very sweet but he is high energy and can be a lot to handle for people not used to large high energy dogs. Lauren took care of him with no issues at all while staying at our house for 5 nights. She gave him regular walks and spent a ton of time with him. She also was great at sending pictures and updates. Finally, she took great care of our house and respected our rules. She was great all around!”
“Bri was fantastic! She did such a great job with my dogs. I loved the daily updates, and I felt so comfortable having her stay at my house. Our dogs had a great week with her!”
“Abby was wonderful! Both of my dogs were exceptionally cared for. She kept me up-to-date while she was house sitting. She exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Abby for your pet sitting needs!”
“Ayla is simply the best! She is our go-to sitter because she has always been so wonderful to work with. She takes great care of my quirky pets and is great with communication. She always followed any instructions, and I come home to happy and healthy pets every time. Highly recommend!”
“Not enough good things to say about Nicole. This was the 2nd time she sat for us and the second review I'm writing. She is very dedicated, passionate, caring, and respectful to us and our fur babies. She goes above and beyond, she put our needs before her own and she left the house immaculate. Our pups have not been the easiest but she takes very good care of them. Looking forward to our next travel to have her care for our dogs.”
“Ruby was so sweet and took very good care of Sarge. She sent pictures often and I could tell Sarge had a great weekend because he was exhausted when I got home! She also left everything very clean.”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
“Katelyn was amazing. She is consistent and honest, and sincerely loves animals and respects owners times and wishes. I was comfortable with her house sitting in my home ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’m patient, active, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have. From belly rubs to playtime to making sure your dog feels safe and loved, I’ve got it covered. I have an extra-large, high-energy dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling big, strong pups. I’m also experienced with senior dogs and those with special needs. Whether it’s administering medication or helping them move around comfortably, I’m happy to follow any routine your dog needs. I’m currently working part-time and am flexible for dog walking, drop-ins, and dog-sitting. I can’t wait to chat to figure out the perfect schedule for you and your pup! I love walking my large breed Bernedoodle we go as little as a mile to five miles. I always carry water bowls on me for our walks and ensure the weather isn’t too hot.
“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”
About: I volunteered with a local animal shelter all through my college career, and only stopped when I neeed to move. I have worked with animals that are nervous of people, animals that love people, seniors and puppies! I am also familiar with basic dog training. I'm working from home so I'm always available to walk, sit, nap, or play with your pup! I also have a car so home visits will never be an issue! I have my own dog (Chihuahua mix!!) that LOVES other dogs and will play until they both drop. When visiting your home, I will treat it like my own and respect any house rules.
“Emma was the best! I will definitely be using her again. She sent updates and pictures on all the little adventures she took my Stella on. Can’t say enough great things! Highly recommend.”
“Joey and Angie were very kind and easy to work with. Joey was respectful of my home, brought in packages and mail, and kept me updated on the dogs while I was away. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all sizes and am I lover of cats of all kinds! I love to walk, pet, cuddle, and earn a little bit of extra cash! Right now I am working a part time restaurant job but am available weekdays before 4 and after 9. Weekends I am available at night. I cannot take pets to my home, however working in a clients home I will ask a description of where the food, leash, and bags are. As well as the basic rules. Pets on furniture? Pets upstairs? I will respect all boundaries.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin Park
EXCELLENT!!! My dog Charlie loved her so much. I needed her to come back later in the day after I came home,and he went crazy seeing her again lol. So I'll definitely use her again. She followed every detail and left my place just as clean as I left it. And she is SUPER sweet
Emily was phenomenal with our 12-week old Corgi puppy! We sincerely appreciated the meet-and-greet that she offered prior to watching our girl. We know that puppies can be rather spunky and unpredictable, but Emily’s experience and confidence in working with her was reassuring. Certainly recommend booking Emily and we hope to have another opportunity to book her in the future, too!
Sarah was very caring over our senior dog and her special needs. It was comforting knowing our dog was in caring hands while we were overseas. We had flight delays that she assured us she would care for our sweet dog if needed and fortunately wasn’t needed. She was a great house sitter as well. Would definitely use her again. We had peace of mind while away. Our first day home , even tho she was thrilled to have us back, our little dog was looking for her in the house. Grateful to Sarah for all she did.
Lexie was amazing! We went out of state to attend a funeral, and while we were gone a severe winter storm came in. She endured a cold house waiting for a heat problem to be repaired in our home, along with dealing with a ton of snow. She never missed a beat and took great care of our 2 dogs and cat. Will definitely use her again and can’t thank her enough for all she did.

FAQs for House Sitting - Franklin Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Franklin Park on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,459 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Franklin Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
