“David is a great dog sitter! We had him do in house sitting for our older poodle who need a little extra help with meds and mobility. David took great care of him and sent picture’s everyday. He left the house spotless! We would trust David again anytime.”
“Angie was great with our three pets for a three days! She communicated often with pictures. The house was well taken care of as well. We will definitely book her again.”
“Andrew was extremely flexible and accommodating, especially with our late arrival and changing plans. We returned to happy dogs and a home that was even cleaner than we left it- we would absolutely use Andrew again.”
“There’s a saying that goes something like, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”, and I got the feeling that my dogs were well cared for while I was gone and happy when I got home. Additionally, I forgot to leave a house key and had to call my apartment emergency after hours line to get Alyssa into my house. She didn’t say, Well you didn’t leave me a key so, I left”. She communicated with me and worked through the issue until she was in and looking after my pups. Thanks, Alyssa for being a caring care giver to my pups and for working through the obstacles. I highly recommend, Alyssa!”
“Lindsay couldn’t have been a better dog sitter to our big and little guy! She was super responsive and flexible with our changing schedule. She administered meds for our old dog and was patient and loving with our puppy. The house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs sleepy after a long walk! So glad we found her! 💖”
About: I’ve been involved with various animal rescue organizations for more than 30 years and have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I’ve fostered many animals over the years and have helped with adoptions, medical visits, home visits, shelter assessments, and fundraising and community events. I’ve also personally rescued and cared for animals with health issues and have extensive experience with dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, or specialized care. I’m very active and love having dogs join me in the fun. I hike, bike, ski, and paddleboard, and I’m always happy to have a furry companion along for an adventure. Of course, I’m equally happy spending a quiet day at home with a dog curled up on the couch getting plenty of love and extra snuggles. My two senior dogs recently passed away, and I truly miss having dogs in my home. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to give your dog the same attention, affection, and care I’ve given my own. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to accommodate your pet's needs. I like to adhere to a schedule your pet is accustomed to. My pets were all indoor dogs, well taken care of, and slightly spoiled. They had regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I will adhere to your pet's regular schedule as much as possible.
About: I have always loved dogs and have 2 of my own! As a kid in middle school and high school I was the "neighborhood dog walker" and would help people who didn't have time to walk their dogs every day. Since then I have done check-ins, pet-sit at clients homes, and walk dogs throughout the day for over 5 years. I am a server at a local restaurant at night, which leaves my days wide open. I work 5 nights a week right now (sometimes less) and have plenty of time during the day to take care of your fur-babies! I am off on Tuesday's and Wednesday’s, which would allow me to do night-time check ins as well on those days. I am willing to do whatever my clients are comfortable with. I can walk dogs in your neighborhood, check in on dogs in your home, take dogs to the park, feed dogs, train puppies, and many more services. I have two dogs of my own who are super friendly and love to play! Greg is a rescue chihuahua mix and is 3 years old. Darla is a 4 month old Border Collie!
“Mark was amazing with our 3 dogs. We were very hesitant to leave them with someone we didn't know for a week and a half. But, Mark was so great to come over beforehand to meet us and meet the girls to make sure it was going to be a good fit for everyone. Mark was great with asking questions and making sure he understood our expectations before we left. While at our house, he did all the dogs' favorite things with them - long walks, runs, rides in the truck, snuggles on the couch. He kept us posted with pictures and videos and updates. When we got home, he had the house looking even better than we'd left it. We will definitely be looking to Mark first whenever we need someone to care for our girls.”
About: I have two dogs of my own that I love and care for! One of them is 7 and the other is 2. My schedule is super open at the moment so I'm able to really be there for your dog through out the day! My schedule is very open. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention. Because of that, it’s easy for me to include additional pets into my routine and give them consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I provide attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I keep a safe, clean environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable and stress free. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m very experienced with daily pet care and making sure pets feel safe and loved.
“Alejandra was amazing with the pups. I loved receiving all the updates. She is a great communicator. She was prompt and even offered to stay late if our flight got delayed. When we got back the house was just as clean when we left it.”
“Mckenzie was an awesome sitter! Even with short notice, she was able to come meet my animals and see my place before staying the weekend with them. She immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my animals and house in her care and that comfort continued throughout the 4 nights she was with them. I would definitely recommend Mckenzie to anybody looking for a sitter in the Ogden area!”
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”
“Jai was a great pet and house sitter. He provided pictures and updates every day. I loved hearing about his and Ivy's day. I would recommend him and plan to use him in the future!”
“Janica did an amazing job watching my two cats and dog. My dog is a little needy in that he has environmental allergies and is a bulldog, so his daily grooming can be a little annoying. Janica had no problem taking extra care of him. I never felt worried about leaving them in her care.”
“Second time with Nichole and my boy Red loves her. I will always book with Nichole first. She’s the best. Respectful of my home and such good care of my dog. I can’t speak highly enough!!!”
“I am very grateful that Jessica cared for and hung with my senior pup, Sky, over the Holiday. She was responsive, reliable, and communicated very well. I received frequent pictures of Sky, who definitely looked like she was enjoying herself. Most importantly, I felt at ease that she was in good hands and getting lots of love while I was away. Will certainly book Jessica as a sitter again!”

Ben was absolutely excellent! He took such great care of our dogs and our home—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. He’s responsible, communicative, and clearly loves what he does. We would 100% use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Francis is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $60 and $69 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Francis 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 Francis 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 Francis 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 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.
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.

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.
