“Courtney is AMAZING! She’s always so willing to help when we need her and my pup adores her! So glad we have someone like her that is willing to help us when we need it.”
“Wonderful, sent the best photos and the cats were always excited to see her! Would definitely love to have her over again!! I’m always nervous leaving my high maintenance and high attitude sphinx alone but this weekend was a breeze thanks to Lynette!”
“Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.”
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 comfortable with dogs from all walks of life. 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.
“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: I have over 27 years of personal dog care experience, looking to help those in the community that need their best friends walked and cared for. My soulmate Olaf crossed the rainbow bridge May 2026 and I am looking to utilize my energy to help those in the community care for their dogs. I live with two Dachshund mixes that aren't much of walkers themselves, so I'd love to walk with some dogs that appreciate time outdoors. In that 27 years, I have experience with multiple breeds including "bully" breeds and small dogs. I have worked with numerous types of dog breeds and sizes, and personalities, and I open to work with any dog that needs that special care while you are out. I have experience with different harness and leash types, as well as environments for taking your dog on a stroll (city, country, downtown, etc). I practice patience with each new dog for them to get to know and trust me, while adding some fun and extra pats into the mix. I have a fairly set work schedule though can be available any evening of the week with proper notice. I am open to discuss availability to help care for your dog and get them the care they need while you are taking care of others things. For dog walking services and drop-ins, it will be best for me to come to your home to care for them to best accommodate you and your dog's needs.
“Jessica is very friendly and was great with my cat, Mer. She’s very communicative, provides great updates, and sends lots of cute photos each time she checks out of her visits. I felt super comfortable with Jessica being in my house while I was away and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! 🤩”
“Blythe is an awesome sitter! She was so patient with my anxious kitty and sent me daily images (mostly of her hiding) and reports to keep me up to date. I will definitely ask Blythe to sit for us again! :)”
“Kim gave my husband and I peace of mind while we were on vacation since we knew our kitties would be in good hands. Kim is professional, respectful, and truly cares for pets. She provided check in updates and pictures that I ended up really looking forward to reading! I will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
About: I love all pets, big and small! I’ve pet sat for family and friends (from puppies to tripod cats) over the last few years. I don’t have any pets of my own so I always enjoy meeting new dogs/cats :) I work 9-5 (mon-friday) and typically work from home once a week. I’m available when I wfh, weeknights and weekends! Would love to use some of my free time to take care of your pets. For overnight stays, I’ available to stay at your house. I know every pet has their own personality, routine and quirks - I do my best to stick to what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your care instructions and treat your pet the way I’d want someone to treat my own. Whether that’s a long walk, trip to the park, pup cup or being a house hippo, I’m happy to accommodate.
“Paige took great care of our Buddy Boy while we were gone! We loved getting the detailed updates and multiple photos - you could tell he was well taken care of by his demeanor when we got back :) Thank you, Paige!!”
“Ashley was incredible to work with! She was quick to respond, communicated clearly and remained flexible with scheduling. Ashley sent me photos of Oliver and shared how the visit went. He clearly adored her from the photos! She also brought in a package that was delivered. This was my first Rover experience. I'm so grateful to have connected with Ashley! She will definitely be my go-to when I have to travel. Thank you, Ashley!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for years, and I truly treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is that I understand how important it is to pay attention to a dog’s individual needs and medical concerns. I have a French Bulldog who went through IVDD, so I take mobility and health issues very seriously and know how to create a safe environment for dogs that may need extra care. I’m best with friendly, family-oriented dogs, and when pets stay with me, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and supervision. I’m home most of the time, so your dog won’t be left alone for long and will have someone there to care for them throughout the day. I’m currently in school full-time at MATC in the Invasive Cardiovascular Technology program while also working part-time at Aurora Health Care. Because of my schedule, I keep my availability updated on my calendar so pet parents always know when I’m available! I genuinely love spending time with animals and make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care while you’re away. treat every pet like part of the family and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I have a crate available if needed, and because I own a French Bulldog with IVDD history, I also have ramps throughout my home for dogs that are at higher risk for spinal injuries. If your dog is food aggressive, I can pick up bowls after meals and separate pets during feeding times. I also pay close attention to every note and instruction you leave for me so your pet’s routine stays consistent. For dogs that are sensitive to noise or easily overstimulated, I can put toys away, create a calm environment, and even play soft classical music to help them relax or sleep comfortably.
“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 was a great help watching my cats over (and even on!) Christmas. She was communicative and easy to work with, and I'll definitely be booking again. Thank you, Chelsea!”
“What can l say? Travis was absolutely wonderful and very attentive to my 4 fur children. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in his care and they took right to him, although it always takes a while for Chance. He’s just special 😁. I would definitely book with Travis again and l have a trip coming up real soon!!! Thank you Travis! SN: he even washed their dishes for me!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
My first time having Kayla take care of my cats, while I was gone for the week. She did an excellent job, could not have done better myself. Sent rover cards with nice pictures every time she came over to do them. I did not have any worries while gone. Thank you again !! Adam
Thanks to Cory, our Siberian husky was well cared for. Cory's understanding of dog behavior and needs gave us peace of mind while we were out of town for a week. Cory communicated clearly prior to our time away so we all were on the same page. Timely check-ins and good notes let us know how our furry pal was doing throughout the day. We will be happy to ask Cory for help again the future, and to recommend his services to others.
Courtney was fantastic! I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her. She went above and beyond by coming over prior to sitting to meet the animals and see the place. It made the sitting experience more comfortable for all of us! She kept the litter boxes and areas around them clean, food and water full and clean, and made sure the cats were played with and cuddled, as they love. She sent me lots of photo updates and correspondence with her was always fast and easy. A wasp got into my house the last day, and she took care of it before leaving to make sure the critters were safe until I got home! Again, above and beyond. Book her!
Stephanie is the person you want taking care of your pets. She asks great questions before to make sure she has all the details, is very responsive and leaves all the info you want on the Rover card to know your pets are well taken care of. I highly recommend and will be sure to book her again.
There’s literally no one else I’d rather have! She’s been amazing both times we’ve used her. Excellent communication, takes wonderful care of all my pets no matter what they bring and is always observant and friendly with them! I am always going to choose her if she’s available
Maddy was very thorough each time she dropped in to take care of my kitties. Each visit included pictures and comments about the visit. It was obvious she fed them well and provided plenty of water for them. Maddy was very supportive and made me feel very reassured they were in great hands. I highly recommend Maddy!
I would highly recommend MacKenna! I booked her for twice-daily drop-ins to feed and play with my senior, grumpy cat, and he warmed up to her right away. She communicated consistently, sent great updates, and provided excellent care throughout the entire stay.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Francis is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
