“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amber! We have multiple pets, including a very fickle and sometimes difficult Newfie, and she handled everything so patiently and confidently. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were being cared for by someone who truly understood them and took the time to make them comfortable. She provided frequent updates, pictures, and communication throughout the stay, which we appreciated so much. It was obvious our pets were getting lots of attention, care, and love while we were away. Coming home to happy, relaxed animals says everything. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter — especially if you have large breeds or dogs with unique personalities!”

“I had an excellent experience with Amber! She did an amazing job watching over my dog and two cats. This was our first time hiring someone to stay and watch them. Throughout our absence, she stayed in great communication and kept me updated with adorable photos and reassured me about my babies. She even went above and beyond and took care of some laundry and dishes we had out. I truly appreciated her dedication and care. Thank you so much for everything!”

“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”

“Tanya was great! Penny, my golden doodle adored her. We got frequent updates and updates and pictures of Penny. My house was spotless when I got home. We will definitely ask Tanya to watch our Penny again!! Thank you Tanya!❤️”

“Torri took excellent care of our four legged’s. Unfortunately, one of our animals had an unexpected medical crisis. Torri swiftly acted and handled the situation with care, professionalism, and love. She definitely served as our surrogate pet parent when we were 1300 miles away. Torri also left the house clean and tidy. Her pet care and house sitting was top notch. I would highly recommend Torri. Thank you, Torri.”

About: I’m extremely playful and loving towards all kinds! There’s been dogs in my family that i’ve trained/cared for all the way from chihuahuas to golden retrievers! I love all kinds and will listen and attend to your puppy’s needs! I’m currently home from college for the summer, and will be using Rover as a full time job! My availability i’m able to offer you is endless! I provide caring and reliable pet care in your pet's own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. With years of experience caring for animals, I understand the importance of maintaining their normal routine while you're away. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are gone. My goal is to make being away from your pet a little easier by giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands.
“Aida was great!!! It was our first booking through Rover for our Rottie and cat. Aida’s communication was excellent even sending pictures of our guys during our time away. It was a great first experience!!!”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love spending time with animals. I’ve raised and trained my own Lab (now 10), so I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that’s consistent with what they’re used to. I naturally pay attention to each dog’s personality and energy. Some love long walks and playtime, while others just want a calm presence and a little extra comfort—and I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at. Building trust with animals is really important to me, and I try to create an environment where they feel relaxed and at ease. Right now I have a very flexible weekday schedule, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just spending time keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and sticking to their normal routine. I’d love to meet you and your dog! I have a super flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether you need someone just to give a quick pet or to give them dinner, I have time for your loved one. I am dedicated to keeping your pet as comfortable as possible. Building trust and understanding an animal’s routine is essential for success. Whether your pet free roams or is crate trained, I try to make things as easy and stress free as possible for them.
“This was our first time having a "stranger" come take care of our adult (50lb) and puppy (70lb) pitbulls that are our "children." Melanie was kind enough to come for a meet-and-greet, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how quickly she scooped them both into her arms and embraced them with all their endless kisses - this is when we knew! She truly cared for them just as well, if not better than we do! Melanie did all these small but very special things we didn't expect, and we were grateful to return to happy furbabies and the cutest pictures of them, and I am quite sure a cleaner home than what I left it (thank you!!). This was a short notice booking, about 2 weeks' notice, and I'm just so happy it worked out - we feel very lucky! If we get a chance to go on a vacation again in the future, we will be reaching out to Melanie again :)”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for about five years and worked in a veterinary hospital for three years. I have cared for cats, dogs, and even farm animals. With my veterinary experience, I understand animal behavior and basic medical needs, allowing me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time as a waitress, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, consistent care for pets. When I have advance notice, I can adjust my work schedule to accommodate pet sitting needs. For overnight stays, I prioritize spending most of my time in the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable, cared for. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I like to follow routines, maintain a clean and secure environment, and provide plenty of attention and supervision. With my past experience as a veterinary technician assistant, I’m attentive to behavior changes and health needs to ensure safe, reliable care.
“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”

“Shea was absolutely fantastic. Our dog has some health issues, and Shea was very attentive to his medications and our concerns while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog. Our house was spotless. Without asking, Shea washed the bedding and put everything in its place. Her communication was thorough and consistent. Without any hesitation, we would ask Shea to sit for Rocky again! Thank you again for everything, Shea!”
“Emily is a loving and responsible caregiver for our aging pup. She provides us with regular reassuring updates and lots of photos. I have 100% confidence Aspen is well cared for when we are away which is why we have booked with her multiple times.”

“Evelyn is a top-tier sitter. Great communication (lots of photos, keep me apprised of the goings on while I was away), super respectful (I think my house was cleaner when I got back than when I left it), and most importantly: my boys loved her. Would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Evelyn!!”

“Brooke is a so amazing with our gentle giant and always leaves the house better than she found it. We trust and appreciate her staying in our home anytime and loving on our pup so well. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond to take care of our home and dog while we are away. We definitely recommend Brooke and will 100% hire her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, chickens mainly for family and friends, some neighbors. I very good with young hyper dogs considering I have a miniature Aussie. I also have a 12 senior dog who can only go on 15 min walks. I love all animals wether it’s watching/playing with them or taking them on walks! Pet care fits into my schedule cause I’m a young hairstylist who is trying to fill up her books. Being a new hairstylist isn’t easy and I want to fulfill my time well considering bills I have to pay each month I am very comfortable with animals depending if you want me to spend the night or not. I’m very flexible with coming and going or simple taking them on walks. I love to take my own dogs on walk and runs as well!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Francis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Francis on Rover is $51.06 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 2,659 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Francis. 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 Saint 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 Saint 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 Saint 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Francis. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
