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.
“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!!”

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 😊
“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: 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.
“Jessica was amazing!! She sent photos and updates, I knew my pup was having a great time. Really happy to meet her, I never have to worry about Russell being alone.”

“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! :)”


“Once again excellent service! Daily pics and updates. Our Milo was very well cared for and happy! Came home to a happy cat and zero accidents!! Highly recommend!!”

“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!”

“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.”
“We have hired Angela twice, and would love to have her again. We have 2 very shy cats and they actually come out and play with her. Angela is very thorough and gives us updates with pictures during every visit.”

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.
“I was traveling abroad and Camille was so easy to communicate with throughout my entire trip. She dropped in at my home at all agreed-upon times to feed and walk not just one, but two dogs (our 7 month bernedoodle puppy and senior German Shepherd)! She sent photos and thorough updates and I felt at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands while my partner and I were away. We’re so grateful for Camille and will definitely look to her again for our next trip out of town!”

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: 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.

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.
About: Hi! I’m Harper, and I love caring for dogs of all ages. I have experience with energetic puppies who need patience, play, and consistent routines, as well as senior dogs who benefit from gentle care, medication schedules, slower walks, and lots of comfort. I’ll treat your dog like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away! I currently have open availability during the day and evening to be able to walk dogs for 30 or 60 min, and do drop ins. I want my clients to feel like I am someone trusted, like family. When my clients are away I strive to have there be no worries, but also open communication.

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!

Lilyan was awesome! :) This was my first time using rover and I was super nervous but she really made it easy. She left detailed notes and sent over great photos making the process 10X easier. I also thought it was really sweet that she picked up after the dogs and I could tell in the photos they were out of breathe from playing during her stops at the house. Thank you a million Lilyan and would definitely choose you again!

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.

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.

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.
