“Lynette was responsible, reliable, and so sweet to our pups. She made sure they had food and plenty of attention. She’s sent great photos and we would absolutely trust her with our dogs again!”
“I have a couple challenging pets, including an anxious, blind senior dog but Carolina moved at their pace and took great care of them. She was communicative and I got pictures every day. We came home to the house exactly as we left it. She’s kind and respectful.”
“Keisha was amazing with our 10 year old dog! This was our first time using a sitter and it went so smoothly. We got tons of pictures updates and Keisha left the house in tip top shape. I highly recommend working with her! Best of the best!”
“Another fabulous week of Blythe watching our pups! We were nervous to leave our puppy, but Blythe was amazing with her. So happy to have someone we trust in our home when we can’t be there!”
“Angela was amazing!!! We had never left our dog with anyone overnight and she helped me feel comfortable and at ease. She sent lots of pics and updates and loved on our guy all weekend. So grateful!”
“Kelli was simply excellent! She was so kind to our girls and took excellent care of our home. She understood my nervous nature and sent updates to ease my worrying. Very glad we found her!”
“Berenice has a great heart for animals. Our dog has special needs and required hand feeding for meals. I think she would be a wonderful addition to your household, as an animal sitter. She has a kind disposition and will treat your pet with the utmost care. She left the house clean and played with our dog outside - he likes to sleep and can be lazy (so it was nice she provided enrichment playtime)! We got picture updates. She was on time for the meet and greet / when we left for our family trip to see relatives. Our dog seemed happy and content when we got home.”
“Emily was awesome! She provided great updates throughout our trip and took excellent care of our four pets and our home. It was clear she treated them like they were her own, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Emily and would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“Elba was amazing. She took great care of our boys, and kept us in the loop of everything they were doing. A ton of pictures were taken, and I think our boys are excited to be watched by her again. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Jasmine was so great with our cat and dog. She was thoughtful and sent lots of updates and photos. She left our place spotless and was a wonderful guest and pet sitter!”
“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!”
“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”
“Laurie was amazing with our senior citizen dog Jada. She is timid and doesn’t bond easily, but Laurie became a member of the family. Our Great Dane normally only talks to a very few people that she knows well. Jada really like Laurie because she spoke to her with a “woo-woo”. Laurie was also the perfect house guest, leaving a clean and tidy house when she left. We are definitely planning to re-book.”
“Lacey is great! She sent us pictures and updates every day & she followed our directions very well. She is so sweet and easy going & our dog was very happy and well trained when we got home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
I liked Sam from the moment I met her. At the meet n greet, she came prepared with treats to offer my 2 dogs-after asking if they were allowed to have them. She had a calming personality, and took it slow the first time meeting them. During the stay, I enjoyed the updates, AM and PM. Along with pictures. She took the dogs for walks, and ended the day with snuggles and play time. It was hard to leave my babies with someone I didn’t really know, but I trusted Sam and I’d do it again.
Lyly was amazing with our 3 kitties while we were out of town. It's nerve-wracking to leave for 2 weeks, but the daily pics and updates helped tremendously. Having someone stay over really helped keep their mood and spirits up and we're thankful Lyly did such a great job with them. We're definitely booking with her again!
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.
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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,247 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.
