About: In addition to growing up with family pets, I've been a mom (and step-mom) to two cats and fish for the past four years. I've been a regular point of contact for friends needing dog walks or drop-in care. I'm excited to extend my services and make new furry, four-legged (or no-legged!) friends. I'm a work from home professional and welcome the opportunity to step away from my desk, whether that's to check in on your pets at home or stretch their legs (and mine)! I approach pet sitting with respect for your pet's routine and individual care needs. I believe in regular communication and in providing attentive, detailed care.
“Angela was so great with our kitten while we were gone! Her communication was excellent and she spent extra time with our pet—I knew he wasn’t lonely, which was so reassuring. I would 100% trust Angela in the future and use her as a sitter again!”
“Courtney took wonderful care of our cat while we were on vacation. It was the first time we’d left Percy for so long so I had been a little nervous, but after meeting Courtney and seeing how much she loves animals I was sure he would be happy and safe. She kept in great communication with us, sending lots of photos and videos. She and Percy were best friends in no time! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet ☺️”
“Lynette took great care of my two kitties. She was very communicative and timely in her responses and made sure she had clear instructions on their care. I highly recommend her and plan to book again in the future!”
“Jessica is terrific! She is so good with my senior cat and takes great care of her when I’m out. Her communication is very timely and you can count on her to be there. I have booked her several times and will continue to do so.”
“He is knowledgeable about dogs and has a genuine interest in animalss. When our schedule had to be adjusted, he was easy to communicate with. it was a relief to have pet assistance that was reliable.”
About: Hi! My name is Jamie and I have been a dog mom for 6 years, but a pet lover for my whole life. I personally know how difficult it can be to leave your pets alone and I want to give people peace of mind that their best friends are loved and cared for while they are away. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I love to take my own dogs for walks and adventures around the neighborhood. I also enjoy playing catch with them and cuddling at the end of the day. I have experience taking care of large and small dogs, as well as high energy and low-maintenance dogs. I look forward to giving your animals the care and attention they deserve!
“Courtney is fantastic! Trustworthy, great communication and clearly committed to making sure your pet doesn’t miss out on love and attention while you’re away ❤️.”
“Devon was great. We have a rather high maintenance cat because she is very shy with new people and Devon did everything possible to accommodate her. Our cats were well cared for in our absence.”
“Teri was amazing. My cat, Teddy, loved her. She’s was very good about sending me pictures and updates while I was out of town. I will definitely use her again. I did not have worry about Teddy at all while I was gone.”
“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.”
“Julia has been SUCH a huge help to me with my dog Payton. She’s very responsive, reliable, kind, sends the cutest pics while I’m away at work and takes amazing care of P. I would recommend her for any service you may need :)”
About: I have been around and owned dogs my entire life, I also have had small animals and exotics the last 5 years. I love caring for animals and it has been my biggest passion. I currently work at an animal shelter that has allowed me to gain experience with all animals! I currently work full time seasonal at a shelter so I can provide pet care in the afternoons/evenings. I am off on Monday's and Sunday's so those days anything would work My care for pets vary on each individual’s needs, I do what’s best for them and what makes them happy! I believe in patience and allowing for the animal to make the decisions!
“Elaine did a wonderful job caring for our pets. Our cat has a lot of extra needs and she was very patient with him. She even spent extra time snuggling with him while we were away. We came home to a clean house and well-cared for animals. We'd definitely recommend!”
“Mia dropped in to take care of my cats when I was out of town. She did a great job trying to make them feel comfortable and keep up their normal routine. It was also great to know that someone was there to check in with them. She sent check-in pictures of the cats and they even warmed up to her being there. It was wonderful to have Mia take care of the cats.”
“Hannah is the best pet sitter ever! She is friendly, responsive, and takes the best pictures. We never need to worry about our dog when we are away because we know he is in the best hands with Hannah.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
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.
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!!
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!
It’s so nice to have peace of mind when I’m traveling that my cat is cared for!! I have a very affectionate cat that loves attention and I can absolutely trust that Adelle is going to give him all the love!!! Would highly recommend Adelle for taking care of your pets!!
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! :)

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
