About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
“Sophia was very kind and welcoming of our pup. We received pics and updates throughout her doggy daycare experience. I felt that our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay.”
“Rebekah was amazing watching our pup and we loved all the pictures she took. Her pup was so sweet and played so well with ours. Rebekah was so easy to communicate and coordinate with!”
“Thomas provided excellent care for our 2 dogs. We have a senior lab and a wheaten terrier who is an anxious type so not an easy pair. The house and yard are set up great for dog care and Thomas has a great way with the dogs I will definitely bring them back.”
“Kristi took very good care of Thor during his stay! When I picked him up it seemed like he had a very eventful day! Even though it was a rainy he was still very clean as she made sure to clean him up before I got there! She made sure to answer my questions and send plenty of updates during the day! She went out of her way to answer a question I had when I was picking Thor up responding and getting an answer on her own time! I highly recommend Kristi's services! Thank you Kristi!”
“Hannah was great with our puppy! Sent photos shortly after I left l, which put my mind at ease since this was the first time bringing him there. He seemed to love her and his time there! Will definitely use her again! She was also flexible with my pickup time as it shifted due to work. Thank you Hannah!”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and have trained my own dogs my entire life! My experience ranges from small to giant breed dogs and I am comfortable with most any pet! My home has a fenced in backyard with turf grass and lots of toys to play with for your daycare or boarding needs! I also sanitize the toys and yard with a pet safe spray between pets to ensure everyone stays as healthy as possible! If you would like your fur baby to have more exercise than the fenced in yard we can always happily add on a walk to go see the neighborhood sites! I work from home and am free to provide lots of snuggles and playtime with your fur baby throughout the day! My job is very flexible and I also am able to do drop in visits in your own home as often as you may need and can stop by to go on as many walks per day as you wish! I am comfortable giving medications or giving extra care your pet may need! They are in great hands with me and are always treated as if they were my own! Since my days are so open and flexible I am able to accommodate almost anything you may need, just ask! Aside from a quick errand here or there, I am home and able to give constant attention while your pet(s) are in my care. I do have crates available if your dog needs to be crated if I need to run somewhere, or I am perfectly comfortable leaving them out to roam and snooze on the couch if that’s what they are used to! Aside from the backyard being fenced, I love to go on walks and give all the snuggles! My schedule is very easy to move around and I am not tied to the computer all day, so running to give potty breaks at your home or take your fur baby for a walk is always a task I love to make time for!
About: I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat in my home and love Dachshunds. We also have a lab mix who loves to play with all dogs one of the doxies loves all dogs as well. They are both puppies still. We live on 5 wooded acres, and have a separate fenced area to let the dogs play. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have also had a dog in my household. Dogs are more than just pets to me they are are family and I considered them my children. I will care for tour dogs as if they were my own and they will make a new friend while they stay over and play the weekend away! I am working for home, so I have plenty of time to attend to all the dogs needs, feeding, outside time, playing. I usually take my dogs to the dog park every morning for our mile walk and during the summer months we try to go to the lake for a swim a couple times a week. I have 2 fur babies, they are very playful and love all dogs. I treat all dogs as if they are my own, I love them all!
“Christina was super professional and loving and caring with our dog Riley! This was the first time ever leaving him with someone other than family and we were very glad we found Christina! She has lots of room for wooded walks, and an indoor and outdoor play area. We hope to bring Riley back soon so he can start thinking of her and the other dogs as a great play date and extended community of loving care!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have a Pug and a Small Munsterlander so all types of breeds are welcome. I am a regular sitter/walker for yorkies and labs. I am a teacher who is open all summer long. I am home all day along with most weekends being free as well. My kids are also home all day to play with the dogs! I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can play. I also have two friendly dogs. I can crate dogs if that is what they are used to. My house does have steps off of the main level but they are blocked with a baby gate. I love to walk so taking them out is also an option.
“Melissa is so wonderful with my golden puppy! He gets very excited when he sees her, which lets me know that he is safe and in good hands. We will continue to use her for doggy daycare!”
“Timber had an amazing time at doggy daycare! Terry and Samantha were wonderful—you can tell they truly care about the animals. He absolutely loved playing with their dog and enjoyed non-stop fun all day. By the time he came home, he was happily worn out! I really appreciated the photo updates and check-ins throughout his stay. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Kayti was very kind, responsive, and flexible. She sent tons of pictures of my puppy throughout the day and provided frequent updates, which I really appreciated. I always get nervous leaving my 8-month-old puppy with someone new, but Kayti was wonderful and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell my puppy was well cared for and had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Shelby has some separation anxiety issues so I wasn't sure how things were going to go. I was amazed!!!! She jumped out of the car and went to David and into his house without looking back. When I picked her up 8.5 hours later she was happy and tired from playing with a husky and David's Australian Shepard. The next day she was whining to get into the car and go over. She jumped out and practically ran to the door. She loves David and her time over there. :)”

Walks, belly rubs, playing/chasing after balls, brushing, relaxing, all come with no extra charge! We understand how stressful a kennel environment can be on your pet, especially smaller and older dogs. Most often your dog will be the only dog that stays with us when visiting. I take special care in making sure the dogs are compatible. Even though we don't have a fenced in yard, your dog will be personally walked by me many times throughout the day. I know when your dog has gone to the bathroom and not left unsupervised outside for hours (or with other dogs). Why your Pet will love it here: -it's a calm/relaxed home environment, they will feel safe (no stress of other dogs) -they will get LOTS of attention all throughout the day (I'm home all day) and feel loved -same routine as home (feeding, walks, potty breaks) so they know what to expect We are animal lovers so we enjoy pet care, we have 3 cats. We enjoy having dogs visit and stay with us, it gives us the opportunity to help families who need care for their beloved pet and a chance for us to pamper a dog for a few days and enjoy them! We do not have any dogs so it’s most likely your dog will be the only one staying with us, we like calm, low key environments so your dog can be relaxed and feel safe.
“Anna is fabulous! We have a new puppy and she has watched him all week for us while we are at work! She makes sure he gets playtime with her dogs and naps in too! She sends lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we love! She has done great with helping his potty training and keeping us informed with his rover card each day!”
“Dropped Teddy off for a couple hours of daycare with Lisa. She was so kind to him, took him for a nice walk and gave him lots of pets. He seemed to have loved his stay. Would definitely recommend Lisa to others seeking quality pet care!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Saint Francis commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 MN 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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,255 sitters in Saint Francis, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
