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.
“Angela was great. Respectful, communicative, and even left me a huge zucchini from her garden!! I will absolutely be hiring her again when I go out of town.”
“Courney was the absolute best. She helped me with more than just watching my animal. She helped bring in the mail when it got delivered and even went out of her way to get toys for my pet during Christmas time. She is an animal lover for sure. If there is anyone that I would rebook again with it would be her.”
“Lynette took great care of my two kitties. She was very communicative and timely in her responses and made sure she had clear instructions on their care. I highly recommend her and plan to book again in the future!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life — in 28 years, there have only been 7 days I've lived without one! I grew up in a home with five dogs, including four Bernese Mountain Dogs and a Sheltie. My family also responsibly bred Berners and Shelties, and I grew up around training, proper care, and learning to understand each dog's individual personality. Today, my own dog is still a huge part of my life. I also prepare homemade food for my dog and have learned a lot through that experience about paying attention to ingredients, sensitivities, age, energy levels, and individual needs. If your dog has a unique routine, dietary preferences, or special considerations, I'm happy to listen and follow the routine you've established for them. I'm comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, routines, and needs, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I treat every dog like they're part of the family — with plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care while you're away. 🐾 Pets are already a big part of my everyday life. I have always had dogs and currently have three cats of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and keeping up with their routines are naturally part of my day. I’m also intentional about making time for the pets I care for. I’d rather give a pet my full attention than simply “check a box” and leave. I’m happy to work around their normal routine and give them the consistency they’re used to while their family is away. 🐾 I start by learning your pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walks, medications, favorite activities, boundaries, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Then I stick to those instructions as closely as possible. I believe good pet care is about paying attention to the little things. I watch for changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice something worth knowing about. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, not like their routine has suddenly been turned upside down. Whether they want a long walk and lots of playtime or prefer to curl up somewhere quiet, I’ll meet them where they are. 🐶🐱
“Elizabeth was very patient with our dog Cookie. She took excellent care of her while we were gone and sent text updates and photos. We will certainly ask Elizabeth to care for our dog in the future!”
“Cory was outstanding and went above and beyond in his care for our cat. We are beyond thrilled at how attentive and communicative Cory was with us, even stopping by on off days to check on our cat and take out our garbage. We highly recommend him and will use his services again!!”
“Berenice took great care of my dogs while I was out of town! She was punctual, provided great updates, and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“Devon was great. We have a rather high maintenance cat because she is very shy with new people and Devon did everything possible to accommodate her. Our cats were well cared for in our absence.”
“Our kitties love Teri. Ike has to have his thyroid medicine every twelve hours. Teri has been our kitty sitter for about five years now. We miss our kitties terribly, but just knowing Teri is caring for them eases my mind. They know her now, and her gentle way with them is easy to see when we get our daily photo updates. Even Tina accepts her, which is a little miracle in itself!”
“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!”
About: Animals of all shapes and sizes make me so incredibly happy! I LOVE dogs and cats so much and truly have a soft spot for both, as a person who grew up with dogs and now is a proud cat mom to 2 crimebags! I will treat your pet as my own and give them all the love and play time! I have helped raise puppies growing up so I have that experience along with basic training! It would be an honor to help watch over your precious fur child for you, and I can't wait to make more furry friends!
“Courtney took wonderful care of our cat while we were on vacation. It was the first time we’d left Percy for so long so I had been a little nervous, but after meeting Courtney and seeing how much she loves animals I was sure he would be happy and safe. She kept in great communication with us, sending lots of photos and videos. She and Percy were best friends in no time! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet ☺️”
“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.”
“Hannah did so great with my dogs. One of them is a dog I am fostering who has some special care needs and Hannah went above and beyond in handling. Highly recommend.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
Devon was absolutely the best. Good communication. Dev actually got on her hands and knees to find my 2 cat under our bed. Got great pictures for me. Rabbit and whitney usually hide from everyone. She was so good with them. I cant thank her enough. Devon even brought our garbage cans up the driveway for us. Im sad she will be leaving wisconsin. But I wish Devon the best of luck on her new endeavors.
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.

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.
