“Holly was so great with my dog, she is very friendly, and I could tell right away she has such a big heart and loves animals ! She sent lots of photos and took him on lots of walks. (:”

About: I have owned dogs and cats and have happily helped friends and family care for their pets for decades. I have housed friends’ pets, taken neighbor’s/friend’/family’s dogs for walks and hikes and even on camping trips and frequently stop in to check on pets and offer affection and quick care. I genuinely adore time with animals, and want all pets to have the best quality of life. I would love to help provide that for your beloved pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding, as well as daily car, walks or check-ins. Availability may vary, depending on the day of the week that care is needed. I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs to keep your dog company. I also have a cat, but I can keep any pets separate or crate your dog if needed. Our home has plenty of space for exploring and lounging and central air for hot summer days. I can stay at your place with your pet, if that is a preferable option. I am flexible throughout the week for day care and to take your pet on walks or other outdoor adventures that you are comfortable with.
“Chayse and her family took such great care of Pike. They were friendly, responsive, and super great with Pike. Pike settled in quickly and had a great time playing with their dog. I think it was great he had a buddy to hang out with. I loved receiving updates and pictures of Pike while I was traveling I could tell he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Chayse and will be booking with her again!”
“Courtney was terrific! Their family made sure our dog felt like family & our dog took to them right away. Courtney communicated promptly, was flexible with our schedule & sent great pics during the stay. Perfect Rover experience!! We will definitely have our dog stay there next time we are in the area.”

They were attentive to the care details we left and provided us with ample photos and updates to let us know our girls were doing well.

I would highly recommend booking with them, and we will definitely be back for more help in the future!”

Chelsea was great! We had a very last minute request and she was super prompt in getting back to us to take our pup for the evening. Our first time using rover so as expected he was a little whinny when we left him but she was kind in trying to make him comfortable and he ended up loving snuggles with her hubby and was happy for the rest evening. Thank you!!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Francis can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Francis home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Francis.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Francis. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Francis sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
