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 experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. 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.
“We dont typically leave our cats for more than a few days/nights so i was anxious about leaving them for a full two weeks but i felt so comfortable knowing Angela was taking care of them! I came back to happy and healthy cats. couldn’t have asked for more :)”
“Elba was amazing. We have 2 cats who both need medication, and one is a little spitfire. She was reliable and managed to give the cats their meds twice a day as we asked! Her pictures were wonderful too.”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was very patient with our dog Cookie. She took excellent care of her while we were gone and sent text updates and photos. We will certainly ask Elizabeth to care for our dog in the future!”
“I actually needed an unconventional dog related service for my wedding (taking my dog home after the ceremony) and Cory was more than accommodating! He was great with Lola, patient to wait when we were delayed and did everything I asked for. Definitely would hire again if needed.”
About: I've always had an affinity for dogs! Always wanted one of my own. I've helped tale care of family and neighbors dogs when I was 10 all the way until I was 18. I miss it and want to get back into it. I currently own a hamster, take care of him, take care of families pets when they are on vacation and often volunteer to help with my friends dogs when they are out of town I built a 3 story enclosure for my hamster to give him plenty of room to roam. I also am very active from main jobs with kids so I can provide high quality play with your beloved pets!
“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 wonderful job of taking care of our dog Frankie during her drop in visits while we were away. Great & prompt communication including great photos and notes from her visit. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”
“We were so happy with our experience with Teri. She is a great and prompt communicator. We felt so comfortable and at ease while out of town. We will definitely be booking Teri again in the future.”
“Lynette is a great sitter. We have had her take care of our dogs twice now and both times she spent lots of time with the dogs. She also takes great pictures! I would absolutely recommend Lynette.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies!! She checked in at the beginning and end of every visit. She sent at least 4 pictures with every visit. We really missed our babies while away but getting to see their smiling faces made it better! Hannah connected so well with our dog and cat! We were amazed that the number of pictures of our cat she was able to get! She must be a cat whisperer! He is usually shy but adored Hannah! She also sent pictures of our dog in different outfits! Our dog finds t shirts comforting and loves to play dress up! We felt super confident with Hannah and can’t wait to book her again!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
I was absolutely thrilled to have Heather watch Claude and Olive while I was out of town on business. I appreciated the daily updates and photos--I have absolutely no doubt both of them were well cared for during my absence. She also brought in my mail and checked on a couple of outdoor plants. I think they were slighted disappointed when I walked in the door after my trip and they realized I wasn't her! lolololol It makes me feel so much better to have an additional option when it comes to caring for my cats. I will absolutely use Heather again and highly recommend her services to anyone who's looking for attentive and authentic pet care!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saint Francis on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,234 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Francis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
