“Amber goes over and above in what is expected of her, lately the puppers been having some #2 issues and not expected of her to have to clean them up she does what she can to make it manageable while we work through whatever his problem currently is. Great on keeping us apprised of what is happening and would highly recommend.”
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.
About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.
About: With a background in veterinary technology schooling and professional experience at a dog daycare, I offer knowledgeable, high-quality care for your beloved pets. I have a lifetime of hands-on experience owning and caring for animals of all sizes—from hamsters to horses—and am fully confident and experienced in administering medications if your pet needs them. Whether your animal is big, small, high-energy, or needs extra medical attention, I am dedicated to keeping them safe, happy, and well-loved while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom with a 3 year old little boy. Looking to make some extra money helping others with trustworthy and loving care for their pets. I would love to provide care for clients from their homes. I can do over nights, or just spend a few hours with your beloved pet. Take them on walks and give them lots of cuddles.
“Tamany is trustworthy, kind, and very easy to work with. Her drop-in visits have been incredibly valuable to our pups and our peace of mind. We would recommend her to future clients!”
About: My partner and I will work together to provide the best services to other pet parents as we can! By having us as a team support one another, we're able to help more pet parents with their needs! 😊 Cassie: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. When I bought my first house in 2019, I adopted a senior dog who was scheduled to be euthanized simply because her owner passed away and nobody else could take her. She inspired me to want to take care of senior babies who may have additional needs not everybody can manage. I have experience administering oral and topical medication (no needles) for both dogs and cats. Justin: I’ve had at least one dog in my life from the day I was born. From very social Springer Spaniels, to very shy Australian Shepards to our current Lab Gus and Eskie Sue. I’m capable of administering oral and topical medication for both dogs and cats. I’m also very good creating a safe and comfortable environment for all cats and dogs and am happy to meet your animals before appointments to gain their trust. Since there's two of us, we do our best to flex schedules to make things work. Cassie works from home full-time and Justin has a hybrid schedule working 3 days in office and 2 days from home. Cassie has a strong attention to detail, so we will follow instructions closely to ensure the safety of all parties involved. We both have experience with dogs and cats, so we know to be careful to avoid any potential issues.
About: I have owned a pet all my life, I had a dog like many young kids and at around 17 I started taking care of her full time. (She was a small dog) After she passed I adopted a cat and took care of him. More recently I pet sit for my friends and neighbors dealing with dogs as young and as big as a 1 year old Great Dane. I also have taken care of 18 year old cats that needed medication twice a day. I make sure to ask what your expectations are and do my best to exceed those and take great care of your pets. I understand that pets are more than just animals they are your family and it is an important responsibility to take care of them while you are away. I am currently a freelance artist and substitute teacher which makes me available to meet nearly everyone’s schedule as I am able to make my own. If you need a strict schedule with specific times for your animals comfort I am more than able to accommodate that. It is important to me when taking care of an animal that they are staying in a safe and clean home, I am more than capable and willing to clean up any and all messes that arise while you are away.
About: Lifelong animal owner with expert-level knowledge in pet health, behavior, and care. I have three dogs and one cat, that help keep my skills current. Paired with extensive hands-on experience managing senior pets ranging from ages 4 to 19. I recognize subtle behavioral or physical changes instantly, ensuring your animals receive attentive, highly customized, and compassionate care at every stage of their lives. Extensive experience with oral medications. I currently work in healthcare as a Surgical Technologist. I recently dropped my hours to a . 8 to offer some flexibility in my life and experience more happiness outside of work. I am off one day a week and will offer my services. If services are needed on days I work I can accommodate after work 3pm until 8pm. I have extensive knowledge how to care for dogs and cats in others homes. I have often offered pet sitting and drop in service for my friends and family. I do have an established list of objectives that I have created for myself to ensure that all my clients, pets and owners are cared for and can rest assured their loved ones are as safe and cared for just as my own. Working in a high stress healthcare environment has given me tools to accommodate any situation presented with the best outcomes possible. Combined with the love I have for pets, you can rest assured your family will be safe, happy and healthy.
About: I have had 4 dog companions during my life. Currently Lola (4) and Piper (5) are my babies! Gentle labs with people and other dogs! I am retired, so have lots of free time to provide great care for your pet. I come and go throughout the day but home most of the day. I have a fenced yard for play time. My house is very pet friendly. I have 2 labs that are very friendly, gentle and accepting
“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”
About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.
“Lawrence was very responsible and reliable and he's such a nice guy. He was on time to every appointment. He did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. I definitely plan on asking for his help in the future.”
About: I have owned and taken care of numerous breeds of dogs. They range from all types of bully breeds, various mastiff breeds, terriers, and more. I am very comfortable with multiple types of dog personalities and have also trained several dogs. I am retired and able to spend quality time with your pet. Your pet will be in my home with me and my wife. I love to spend my time outside or relaxing in my large yard! I can offer numerous potty breaks and am flexible with various schedules. We live on a lake with 3 acres of land. Your pet will be one of our family members and treated well with lots of playtime and cuddling. I currently have one dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a large yard with alot of wooded areas and very low traffic streets around me. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on beds as we love to cuddle. However we follow your wishes, meaning if you prefer no bed then they will have plenty of dogs beds on the floor to sleep on.
“Breann has done a great job dropping in to take care of my cat while I was away. Her visit summaries are well detailed and she is very observant of cat behaviors. I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all variety of animals. I am a dog mom of 2 pit mixes, and I adore puppies!! I love long walks on trails and neighborhoods, giving kisses while watching the sunset, and all about fine-dining treats! I work from home so I have the flexibility to care for your pets! I am active as well as love being a couch potato. I can take long or short walks (I need my steps!!) I am consistent and flexible! I have cared for many pets throughout my life, I am alert to any issues, and I am strong for those heavy pullers on a leash
“Holly did a great job checking on my pups while I was away for business. She communicated with me everyday and always sent pictures! She was even patient with my anxious pup who was unsure of strangers.”

She took wonderful care of my two dogs, Buzz and Woody! She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!
Larissa was great! We needed someone to hang out with our dog at our house while we were at a cabin for the day and Larissa was very easy to work with, a good communicator, and most of all our pup was happy and we knew she was well cared for while we were gone. Would definitely be happy to have her help out again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Francis is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,338 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Francis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Francis. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
