“Teri was GREAT! She came over to meet my dog for a meet and greet. My dog loved her weekend with Teri. She sent photos and provided updates throughout the weekend. I couldn't have been any happier! Thanks again Teri!”
“Blythe took such good care of our pets and home. She went out of her way to schedule fun things for our dog, and she clearly loved all the attention, and the cats loved the snuggles. Thank you, Blythe!”
“Carolina was amazing and very attentive to our cat’s needs. She provided daily updates and plenty of photos/videos. She took great care of him and will definitely book her in the future!”
“As always, Keisha did a wonderful job taking care of my little fur babies! She made sure my walk-crazy dog had many miles under his belt, snuggled my velcro cat, and sent many photos along the way! Not to mention, she did the dishes and made sure my home was clean :) will absolutely book again!”
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.
“Julianna Stayed in my house for five nights/six days and took excellent care of my large, high-energy Siberian Husky. It can be hard to find a trustworthy house/dog sitter sitter outside of personal friends and family, but I couldn’t have been more satisfied.”
“This was our first time using Daniela and she was amazing! Dealing with a wind storm, a power outage and some overprotective dog parents is not easy. But, both our dogs loved her and she made our trip worry free. Daniela is highly recommended and we would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Brianna was super responsive and kind! She was responsive to our dog’s needs and asked appropriate questions about his care. She left our house clean. We would have her sit for us again!”
“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog Layla while we were away. She kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, and we could tell Layla was happy and well-loved the whole time. We came home to a relaxed, content pup — we couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend Elizabeth and would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.
“Emma was so sweet with my little senior dog! My dog has various quirks and some chronic health and anxiety isssue and Emma was very accomadating with it all! She was also a great communicator and would check in and ask questions to clarify if she needed anything. I would definetely recommend her to anyonne and would trust her again with my furbabies <3 Thanks so much Emma!”
“Laurie was great with our pups, she sent daily pictures (and pictures of our pup snuggling in the chair with her.) We knew our pups were comfortable ( spoiled and loved ) by Laurie. We will be calling for our next trip! Thank you!”
“Ashley was So responsive and Wonderful with my boys! Thankful she was able to watch them in their house!! Will definitely book again if she is willing to watch them!!”
“Elba did a great job watching my dog at my house for a day. She took her on some adventures and sent great pictures and a thorough update. She also informed my neighbor that my fridge wasn't working when I was out of town which I really appreciate. I won't hesitate to use her again!”
“Alexandra was fantastic! She took very good care of our fur baby, Toco. Alexandra provided frequent updates on Toco’s care, which helped us relax and enjoy our family reunion. I’m excited to have found someone local to utilize in the future. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a mature, responsible animal lover to take care of your fur babies. Thank you! Alexandra.”
“Jessica was amazing! She communicated with us every day and sent us pictures/videos of the dogs, which my daughters really enjoyed. She took extra special care of our geriatric dog, making and feeding him human food, per our request. We will definitely be hiring Jessica again! Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Brandy”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
Julianna (and her partner Ed) were amazing with our anxious pup Winnie. She was communicative beforehand, organizing a meet and greet and asking great questions. She wanted to make sure Winnie was comfortable as possible, allowing us to walk Winnie together before entering our home. During the stay, she sent regular updates with photos. Asked some clarifying questions about our pup’s favorite activities, and ultimately let us relax and enjoy our vacation. She administered our pups meds and helped us have peace of mind. Would absolutely recommend Julianna and Ed!!!
Brianna took such great care of my kitties, staying in my home & treating them like her own, made me feel like I could leave my babies alone for more than a day. Took so many great pictures & made sure my kitty got her medication everyday. Thank you, Brianna!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Hanna! She was absolutely great and took the time to meet Vincent prior to staying with him for the night, which put my mind at ease immediately. She was wonderful about keeping me updated and asking great questions throughout the stay and sent pictures, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, Vincent loved her! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring companion for their dog.
Emma was so sweet with my little senior dog! My dog has various quirks and some chronic health and anxiety isssue and Emma was very accomadating with it all! She was also a great communicator and would check in and ask questions to clarify if she needed anything. I would definetely recommend her to anyonne and would trust her again with my furbabies <3 Thanks so much Emma!
Eleanor was extremely communicative and responsible which made us very comfortable leaving the care of our home and our pup with her. She had an instant connection with our cockapoo at the meet & great which was evident in the photos from their time together as well. We’d highly recommend Eleanor to anyone looking for a thoughtful and loving sitter.
Elba is wonderful! She just watched my senior dog Fern for the first time while I was on a 5 day trip and I was able to fully relax and not worry as I received daily photos and updates from her. Fern felt so comfortable with her also and got lots of love, attention and walks not to mention receiving all her daily meds on time. I will definitely be using Elba’s services again!
I don't want to leave too positive a review (even though it is 100% warranted) because the last time I did that our sitter got so busy we are not able to book them anymore. All joking aside, Sara was beyond wonderful. She provided us with updates (even during a major storm), pictures and most importantly to us, she went above and beyond with our taking care of our post surgical Ollie who is needing a lot of extra care.
Tanya was fantastic with my crazy dogs! She went above and beyond in communication and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs for a few days. Our dogs required special care and minimal time alone and Tanya accommodated all requests. We will be using her every time we need a dog sitter! Highly recommend.
Taylor took care of my son (Zipp) during the winter in Wisconsin. You can tell Taylor loves dogs, he sent me videos playing with Zipp and taking him for walks in the snow. Thank you Taylor! I would book again!!! Zipp was so happy when we got home, on the couch like we never left 💕

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Francis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Francis on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,289 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Francis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saint Francis walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint Francis maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
