About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.
“Angie was great with my little gal, Siggy! Even though she is pretty shy, Angie was patient and gave her plenty of snuggles and love. She was super responsive the whole time, and you can tell she's a genuine animal lover. New go to cat sitter :)”
“Cory communicated with us frequently - Pictures sent each day, anything out of the ordinary was an immediate conversation to us, and he even took our trash out and set out our Halloween candy for us!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have had them in my home since childhood, there’s never been an animal I don’t love and I have years of experience with pet sitting! I’m currently working 5 days a week but I am free all day Sunday/monday and during the week after 6 to give your pets my full attention! I will follow any and all guidelines in your home to make sure your pet is safe 24/7, I will prioritize your pets health and happiness above all else!
“Wonderful, sent the best photos and the cats were always excited to see her! Would definitely love to have her over again!! I’m always nervous leaving my high maintenance and high attitude sphinx alone but this weekend was a breeze thanks to Lynette!”
About: In addition to growing up with family pets, I've been a mom (and step-mom) to two cats and fish for the past four years. I've been a regular point of contact for friends needing dog walks or drop-in care. I'm excited to extend my services and make new furry, four-legged (or no-legged!) friends. I'm a work from home professional and welcome the opportunity to step away from my desk, whether that's to check in on your pets at home or stretch their legs (and mine)! I approach pet sitting with respect for your pet's routine and individual care needs. I believe in regular communication and in providing attentive, detailed care.
“Jessica cared for our dog and cat (drop-in visits) while we were away for a week. Very reliable, communicative, and sweet with our pets. House was as we left it, pets were healthy and happy upon our return. We’ve already booked Jessica for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”
“We were recently chosen by a stray cat. He’s become our indoor/outdoor cat. He warmed up to her so quickly! She took great care of him and bonded with him while we were gone. It usually takes awhile for him to warm up to new people.”
“Courtney was FANTASTIC with my puppy Ivy! Not only did she go above and beyond with her care of my pup, but she communicated with me about my own wants/ needs with training and the well being of Ivy. We hope to continue to use Courtney as long as she will let us! Thanks Courtney! ☺️”
“Devon did a wonderful job of taking care of our dog Frankie during her drop in visits while we were away. Great & prompt communication including great photos and notes from her visit. Highly recommend.”
“Teri is the best! She’s our go-to for overnight stays and drop ins. Our elderly dog absolutely loves her. She’s great with sending pictures and updates. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have 3 cats & a dog who I treat as if they were my biological children. One of my cats & my dog are medically “blessed,” so I have experience giving meds & sticking to dietary restrictions. They are also anxious creatures, so I’m more than experienced in the world of patience. I foster for a cat rescue who saves stray cats & have experience with getting cats/kittens to trust me. I work full-time but am available weekday evenings for drop-ins & walks. I am available for boarding & house-sitting on weekends or over holidays. My weekends are flexible, so I can also accommodate medication schedules easily With a fenced in yard, dogs can enjoy time outdoors safely. I live in a quiet neighborhood that allows for nice walks. My dog & cats are very laidback. For other dogs, after a proper introduction, my dog loves playing with other dogs & is cat savvy. Since I foster, I also have a separate room where I could keep any cat guests.
“Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.”
About: I have been around and owned dogs my entire life, I also have had small animals and exotics the last 5 years. I love caring for animals and it has been my biggest passion. I currently work at an animal shelter that has allowed me to gain experience with all animals! I currently work full time seasonal at a shelter so I can provide pet care in the afternoons/evenings. I am off on Monday's and Sunday's so those days anything would work My care for pets vary on each individual’s needs, I do what’s best for them and what makes them happy! I believe in patience and allowing for the animal to make the decisions!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in high school. I love them and especially like taking them for walks. I have an ability to quickly connect with most dogs. I have my own very energetic mini Bernedoodle. I’m a teacher on summer break, so currently have a lot of availability for pet care! During the school year, I will be more available late afternoons, evenings and weekends. My cat is not the most welcoming of other pets, so I can’t care for pets in my home at this time. Happy to come to your home.
“Mia dropped in to take care of my cats when I was out of town. She did a great job trying to make them feel comfortable and keep up their normal routine. It was also great to know that someone was there to check in with them. She sent check-in pictures of the cats and they even warmed up to her being there. It was wonderful to have Mia take care of the cats.”
“Elaine did a wonderful job caring for our pets. Our cat has a lot of extra needs and she was very patient with him. She even spent extra time snuggling with him while we were away. We came home to a clean house and well-cared for animals. We'd definitely recommend!”
“Hannah was looking after our new cat and he is shy and not used to being alone. She spent an hour with him each evening—him hiding, her talking to him. It took 4 days until he was brave enough to come out. I am so grateful for her patience and care. Highly recommend!”

I would highly recommend MacKenna! I booked her for twice-daily drop-ins to feed and play with my senior, grumpy cat, and he warmed up to her right away. She communicated consistently, sent great updates, and provided excellent care throughout the entire stay.
It’s so nice to have peace of mind when I’m traveling that my cat is cared for!! I have a very affectionate cat that loves attention and I can absolutely trust that Adelle is going to give him all the love!!! Would highly recommend Adelle for taking care of your pets!!
My first time using sara to watch my cats, over the thanksgiving week, with no problems. She was very sweet towards them, and did an excellent job, taking care of them. I could not have asked for a nicer person to look after them. I would use her again anytime, and know that I have nothing to worry about. Thank you again, adam !!
Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Francis on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
