About: I have had dogs my whole life, have helped train family pets, and am certified as a Comfort Dog handler. I have watched dogs from the wee size of a Chihuahua to big fluffy Newfoundlands. I love using patience and kindness to ensure your pups safety and well-being. I agrew up with the high energy of Border Collies, both young and older. I have dogsat at someone's house up to 5 dogs at a time, with varying food needs and medications. I try my best to be flexible and up for anything you need to ensure your furry friend is taken care of the same way I would care for my own. From walks, to watching them in my home, I am here to help you remain confident in your dog's care. For boarding, I do have two dogs that live in residence and would be available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I work a hybrid schedule, so some days I am fully working from home and other days I am in the office and usually pop home in the early afternoon to let my dogs out and finish the day working from home. Dogs get fed before I start work and dinner when I finish. If I work from home I usually take a break outside at some point to play with the pups and after work we can do walks or dog park or hanging out in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two other pups in the home who are relatively chill. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and get lots of snuggles. My own dogs are crate-trained but rarely use them. They are often left on the living room couch when I leave, with a baby gate keeping them in. Can use crates if needed, I own a size small and a size large. My dogs are 25 and 12 pounds. The smaller of the two is a rescue and is extremely chill and friendly to all other dogs. The bigger dog can be sensitive with other dogs sniffing his butt but the most he does is bark at them to move away. He usually minds his own space and doesn't play with other dogs much but also doesn't bother them.
“Bella has stayed with Elba several times, she always comes home happy and well taken care of. She also comes home very tired as she goes on many walks and hangs out at the dog park! Elba is very flexible with her schedule and always sends updates to let me know how Bella is doing. I would highly recommend Elba!”
About: I have cared for and raised a number of pets over the years. Would love to be able to care for yours. Very loving home. I am self employed and able to make my own hours. I would be able to give your pet all the time and attention he/she needs. I would care for only one dog at a time so I can give them my sole attention. I do have a 8 year old cat but he has been raised around dogs his whole life. I lost my 12 year old Doberman back in April of last year. I cared for him from pup on up to his very last days. I am very patient and loving with animals as I have always had a pet in my home. I love going on walks and live close to the lake which has wonderful walking trails. Your pet would get plenty of love, attention and exercise 😊
“Chelsea was great! So responsible and caring. Recently, our kitty started needing 2x daily medications. Chelsea gave him his meds no problem and sent pictures during every visit, which we really appreciated. It was nice coming home to fresh water bowls and happy and medicated cats!! Our lady cat who normally gives us lots of attitude when we get home was happy to see us. We will definitely ask Chelsea to stop in on our kitties again!”
“My dog has separation anxiety and can be a handful, so I’m so thankful when Blythe can stop in and check on her and give her some happy time 😍 plus I know she’s well cared for. Thank you!”
“Very last minute, I realized I needed someone to drop in on my pup and take her out/ put her in her crate for bed time. Anna responded promptly, communicated clearly, and did everything I asked of her. Very thankful she stopped in and helped me out.”
About: Hi! My name is Brianna, and I've been caring for dogs and other pets for over 20 years, including more than 10 years of professional experience. I started out pet sitting and dog walking for neighborhood families when I was 13 years old, and I've been passionate about animals ever since. I later worked at a local animal hospital, where I gained experience feeding, walking, cleaning, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, as well as dogs who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience and understanding. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and one of my favorite things about pet sitting is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with them and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members :) As of June 2026, I work full-time Monday through Friday during regular business hours. Because of this, I may not be available for midday potty breaks during weekday house-sitting stays. Pets who are comfortable being alone during a typical workday are generally the best fit for my current schedule. I may also be a little slower to respond to messages during work hours, but I always get back to clients as soon as I'm able and make communication a priority. I currently provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their individual needs and follow the owner's instructions carefully. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“Reilly did an amazing job watching our cat Marvin while we were out of the country. She was very responsive, and sent frequent updates and photos/videos during her visits. It was really great not having to worry about Marvin while we were gone, knowing he was in good hands with Reilly! I'd highly recommend Reilly to anyone here on Rover!”
“Marilia is very thorough and professional in the way she conducts herself. From scheduling a meet-and-greet to setting up a time to pick up the house key, she made sure all the details were taken care of. On the days that she popped in to feed our cats she promptly sent photos of and comments about the things we asked her to do. Our kitties were happily waiting for us when we returned from our trip, well fed and in good spirits. We will be comfortable and confident when we hire Marilia again for future bookings. Holly & Sid W.”
About: I'm really new to this, but I've had dogs of different sizes all my life. Right now, I have a fussy French bulldog and a hyper Chihuahua that I raise with my wife. We walk our two dogs in the morning and in the evening right after work. Our walks are usually 25 minutes long. Our dogs are fed twice daily along with daily meds they require. We often go to the park near our house for daily walks. I have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. It's enough room for small dogs or older dogs that aren't too active.
“Very responsive and made me feel at ease! Will use her again in the future :) my pup loves meeting new human friends and she sent pictures and details for each visit!! Thank you again you are amazing!”
About: I have been a cat mom to my two rescue boys for the past 9 years, and a dog mom to my beagle boy for the past 2 years. Animals fill my heart in that special with their unique personalities, vast curiosities, and overflowing love. I am an experienced dog walker, animal snuggler, and playmate. I also have experience in administering medications and extra TLC when needed. I grew up with small rodents and fish, so if these are a part of your family I would love to care for them, as well! I currently work full time and am off by 4pm during the weekdays, so I am available for late afternoon and early evening walks and drop in care. Weekends are open for me so I am available for walks and drop in care anytime on Saturdays and Sundays for your weekend getaways needs! My priority is your pet’s specific comfort and safety needs! This includes diet, care, and environment. I am comfortable with dogs off leash in your backyard or at a dog park and always use a leash when walking dogs out in public spaces. I am comfortable crating animals if needed.
About: I've always had an affinity for dogs! Always wanted one of my own. I've helped tale care of family and neighbors dogs when I was 10 all the way until I was 18. I miss it and want to get back into it. I currently own a hamster, take care of him, take care of families pets when they are on vacation and often volunteer to help with my friends dogs when they are out of town I built a 3 story enclosure for my hamster to give him plenty of room to roam. I also am very active from main jobs with kids so I can provide high quality play with your beloved pets!
About: Currently an owner of 2 dogs, one that is senior. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! New to the area and would love to come care for your pet and meet new friends, furry and not! I work from home and travel about once a month. I am fairly flexible to pop in during the day and let dogs out, feed them and take them on walks! I go above and beyond for my personal pets and I would do the same for yours! They are special and I want to be sure they have the best life while we have them!
“Kim was easy going and great with our two kitties. Highly recommend her for your pets needs while you are on vacation or away from your home. I will be requesting her again for help when we aren’t around to take care of our fur babies !”
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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
Angie was quick to respond and very easy to communicate with. She offers a calm and professional reassurance paired with kindness-- the perfect combo when it comes to someone being in your home and caring for your dog. She's consistent, she's sweet, and she does a great job. I also really appreciated that she always sent photos that clearly demonstrated my dog was enjoying her time. Highly recommend Angie's care.
Emma is the best! There’s honestly only positive things I could say, she is so easy to communicate with and the genuine care for my dog she has is obvious! Ive felt comfortable leaving her in the hands of my dog and home every time she’s come over which in my opinion is the biggest complement! Me and Journey are so glad to have you there when I can’t be, see you soon and thank you always Emma!!
Julia has been helping me transition my new 5 month lab/boxer puppy to his new home with her drop in visits. She’s very eager to help practice basic commands, crate train, and get my pup comfortable walking around his new neighborhood. Julia asks great questions, communicates quickly, is flexible, and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup for the first time!
Julia was great! She accepted a sitting request from us on short notice which was really appreciated. She came over to meet our Toast so she could meet him and we could see them interact. Toast had a great time when they met and I can tell from the pictures she took during the drop-in that Toast had fun! We’re so glad Julia took such great care of our boy in the hour she came to watch him! :)
Kailee did a wonderful job caring for my senior dogs while I was recovering from surgery. She responded quickly to my last-minute request, arrived on time, and carefully followed my instructions. She was gentle and attentive with my dogs. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Francis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Saint Francis with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
