“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!!”

“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!”

“Chelsea has been an excellent sitter for my two cats, Sebastian and Harper. Shes detail-oriented and very communicative (also sends pictures). I could tell that when I came home, they were comfortable in her 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!”


About: Since 2020, I have provided consistent care for a variety of dogs and cats, ranging from energetic puppies to adult dogs with unique personalities and care needs. Through caring for family pets, foster dogs, and client pets, I have developed experience with feeding routines, exercise, leash handling, medication administration, basic behavior reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment while owners are away. My sister's five-year-old Goldendoodle, Theo, has been one of the dogs I have cared for most extensively. I regularly pick him up from daycare, provide overnight and multi-day care, take him on hikes and walks, and reinforce positive behaviors. Through consistent training and positive reinforcement, I taught him to greet visitors calmly by sitting patiently before receiving attention, helping him manage his excitement and practice good manners. In addition, I assisted my older sister with the care of her foster dogs, giving me the opportunity to work with more than 15 dogs of varying breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. This experience strengthened my ability to quickly build trust with new dogs, recognize individual needs, and adapt my care approach accordingly. Most recently, I completed a week-long house-sitting assignment caring for a dog and cat. My responsibilities included administering medications, maintaining feeding and hydration schedules, providing daily exercise through multiple-mile walks, sending regular photo updates to the owners, keeping the home clean and secure, and maintaining a fresh, odor-free litter box. I take pride in providing dependable, attentive care that gives pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a flexible schedule to accommodate your dog care needs all throughout the work day, weekends and some evenings as well. I am open to any care needs you have, including at my own house if needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any household rules. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, energy level, and surroundings to ensure their safety. I also provide plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection based on each pet’s needs. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy, well cared for, and maintaining their regular routine while they’re away.
“Avery was great with my dog! Followed all requests and went above and beyond. She was very communicative and accommodating. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I will again too! :)”

“Jessica was great. My dog appeared to really take to her. She even went far above what she had to do. She kept a good eye on his overall well being too. I will plan to use her again for any of my future trips.”
“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! She watched my cat Blue while I was gone and sent loads of adorable pictures and videos daily and kept me updated on how Blue was doing. She took the extra time to play with him and brush him, and handled giving him his ear drops and medication fantastically!! I definitely recommend Courtney and look forward to continuing to work with her for all my pet sitting needs :)”

About: I have always had a pet in my home my entire life but took on more of a caretaker role for them within the past 5 years. I have 2 dosg of my own, Bella and Theo, who can always come with me if requested if your dog would like some doggy play time! I’m currently working as an organ donation specialist overnight so my schedule varies, I work 3 12hr shifts a week so availability just depends on the week. I have a lot of unfenced green space just outside of my condo which my dog enjoys. I also live very close warnimont park/seven bridges so a great place to take your dog for walks!
About: Hi, I’m Brittany! I’m a lifelong animal lover, foster volunteer, and proud dog mom who understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including: • Reactive and fearful dogs • Senior dogs • Dogs with medical needs • Multi-dog households • Newly adopted and foster dogs One of my own dogs is reactive and fear-based, so I understand that every dog is different. Some pups are ready to make a new friend immediately, while others need patience, consistency, and space to feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet your dog where they are. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a walk, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and of course, belly rubs if they’re interested. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. The little things matter, and I always appreciate learning about your pet’s preferences, routines, quirks, and boundaries before we get started. My schedule is flexible, and I’m generally available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and care for your pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need a regular walker, drop-in visits, or occasional help, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’m committed to caring for your pet in the way that makes them feel most comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of routines, personalities, and needs, and I know how important it is to stick with what works best for them. Every pet is unique, and I always appreciate a heads-up about any quirks, preferences, or boundaries—those little details make all the difference. Routine is especially important when a new person enters a pet’s space, so I do my best to keep things calm, familiar, and stress-free. At home, my dogs are separated during meals and when given chews. I use gates or kennels when needed to provide structure, downtime, or simply give everyone a break. Otherwise, you’ll usually find them snuggled up on the couch or playing together, with plenty of belly rubs, of course.
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!
About: I’m a 5-star sitter with 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors, special-needs pets, and animals who require daily medication. I’m trained in both oral and injected medication administration, and I pay close attention to behavior, mobility, appetite, and comfort, especially for senior animals or those with anxiety, chronic conditions, or health concerns. In addition to home companion animals, I’ve also worked with horses and other farm animals such as goats and poultry, which taught me calm handling, awareness of body language, and how to build trust with strong, sensitive, or high-energy animals. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, feeding plan, and daily habits. I treat your home with the same respect: I leave everything clean and tidy. I’ve house-sat for multiple families and am proud to have earned repeat clients who trust me with their pets and their home. I communicate clearly, respond quickly, and always send video or photo updates so you can relax while you’re away.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
