“Courtney was FANTASTIC with my puppy Ivy! Not only did she go above and beyond with her care of my pup, but she communicated with me about my own wants/ needs with training and the well being of Ivy. We hope to continue to use Courtney as long as she will let us! Thanks Courtney! ☺️”
“Devon did a great job taking care of our high needs special needs cat as well as our two bunnies! Everyone was very happy when we came home and our home was clean as well. Definitely would ask Devon to watch our pets again!”
“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!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely believes dogs (well, all animals) deserve all the love, attention, and adventures in the world. As a dog owner and foster, I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you’re away. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, whether your pup loves long walks and outdoor adventures, playing fetch, or simply lounging around and getting all the cuddles. I’m active, attentive, dependable, and patient, and I will always treat your pet like one of my own. I also know how important communication is, so you can expect updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while your furry family member is in my care. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend!
“we had a last minute cancelation and Alissa responded very quickly and honestly she should have been our first choice. She was amazing and went above and beyond. My cat was comfortable with her and she was very accommodating to all our requests. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to leave their baby and have them be in good hands.”
“Marilia did a great job cat sitting. Marilia is responsive, caring, and will go above and beyond to take care of your pet/home while you’re away. Definitely would rebook.”
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 😊
“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've been around dogs my entire life — in 28 years, there have only been 7 days I've lived without one! I grew up in a home with five dogs, including four Bernese Mountain Dogs and a Sheltie. My family also responsibly bred Berners and Shelties, and I grew up around training, proper care, and learning to understand each dog's individual personality. Today, my own dog is still a huge part of my life. I also prepare homemade food for my dog and have learned a lot through that experience about paying attention to ingredients, sensitivities, age, energy levels, and individual needs. If your dog has a unique routine, dietary preferences, or special considerations, I'm happy to listen and follow the routine you've established for them. I'm comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, routines, and needs, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I treat every dog like they're part of the family — with plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care while you're away. 🐾 Pets are already a big part of my everyday life. I have always had dogs and currently have three cats of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and keeping up with their routines are naturally part of my day. I’m also intentional about making time for the pets I care for. I’d rather give a pet my full attention than simply “check a box” and leave. I’m happy to work around their normal routine and give them the consistency they’re used to while their family is away. 🐾 I start by learning your pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walks, medications, favorite activities, boundaries, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Then I stick to those instructions as closely as possible. I believe good pet care is about paying attention to the little things. I watch for changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice something worth knowing about. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, not like their routine has suddenly been turned upside down. Whether they want a long walk and lots of playtime or prefer to curl up somewhere quiet, I’ll meet them where they are. 🐶🐱
About: I have two kitties at home that are my babies, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy caretaker. I am reliable and will treat your pets with the utmost care and respect! I currently work full time on a rotating 2-2-3 schedule so I have flexible weekday and weekend availability in the early morning, afternoons, and evenings. At home, I care for my two cats, I know how important it is to keep exit doors shut, keep harmful foods out of reach, and stick to a strict routine. I bring that exact same high level of alertness and respect into your home during drop-in visits. When we are out on walks, your pets will have my full, undivided attention. You can trust that I will strictly follow all of your specific instructions regarding locking up your house, leashing, commands, and food allergies to ensure your pet is safe.
“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’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: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.
“Alexza was amazing! McGee was very well taken care of even though he was to chicken to come out for her! She even brought our mail in for us which was greatly appreciated! I would absolutely use her again! Rose Fought”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Francis is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Francis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Francis. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
