About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I provide the exercise, affection, and midday relief they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own! Currently I’m working part time only on the weekends, so I have all the time during the week to care for your pets! I’m available Monday-Friday. My cats live the best life in my home. In your home, I care for them as my own and give them lots of love!
“Angela is the best! My main priority with a sitter is someone who will give my cats attention to alleviate some of their stress and separation anxiety which I communicate to every sitter. In the past even when I have spent the extra money for someone to stay 60 minutes they have only stayed maybe 10 to clean the litter box then leave before even acknowledging my cats. Angela stayed the full time and gave them lots of attention and play time:) She was very thorough and made sure she had all the information she needed. You can tell she’s a genuine person who truly cares about animals. She was also super accommodating when my other sitter fell through the night before I left. She even facilitated me interrupting her pedicure on her birthday so I could get my keys to her! I’m so glad I found her and I will definitely be using her again!!”
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.
“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.”
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. 🐶🐱
“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.”
“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!”
“Teri took excellent care of our kitties during our trip. Our boy kitty needed thyroid medicine twice a day and she did an excellent job earning his trust and applying the transdermal medicine to his ear. We would not hesitate to book her again to care for our kitties care during our next vacation.”
“Dev was great with my kitties, even my spicy one! Both of my girls need meds and Dev was able to do all the meds, no problem and had great communication! :)”
“Courtney did a wonderful job with my very people selective senior dog. She was wonderful at the meet and greet, and I had zero concerns about her interacting with Miley. I will definitely have Courtney walk Miley again!”
“Avery was great with my dog! Followed all requests and went above and beyond. She was very communicative and accommodating. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I will again too! :)”
“As always, very dependable and my girls love her! Kaia and Pepper were well taken care of and I looked forward to reading the check in notes and seeing their pictures. I can appreciate the thoughtfulness and care Elaine provides. I will continue to use Elaine whenever she is available. 😊”
“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! She watched my cat Blue while I was gone and sent loads of adorable pictures and videos daily and kept me updated on how Blue was doing. She took the extra time to play with him and brush him, and handled giving him his ear drops and medication fantastically!! I definitely recommend Courtney and look forward to continuing to work with her for all my pet sitting needs :)”
“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: Animals of all shapes and sizes make me so incredibly happy! I LOVE dogs and cats so much and truly have a soft spot for both, as a person who grew up with dogs and now is a proud cat mom to 2 crimebags! I will treat your pet as my own and give them all the love and play time! I have helped raise puppies growing up so I have that experience along with basic training! It would be an honor to help watch over your precious fur child for you, and I can't wait to make more furry friends!
“Hannah was recommended to me from a friend, and she was great with Lucy! My dog is shy with new people and not always willing to go outside to potty but she was able to coax Lucy out. Hannah wrote detailed care cards on how her visits went and sent great pictures. Will definitely book again when needed in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
Angie was quick to respond and very easy to communicate with. She offers a calm and professional reassurance paired with kindness-- the perfect combo when it comes to someone being in your home and caring for your dog. She's consistent, she's sweet, and she does a great job. I also really appreciated that she always sent photos that clearly demonstrated my dog was enjoying her time. Highly recommend Angie's care.
Devon was absolutely the best. Good communication. Dev actually got on her hands and knees to find my 2 cat under our bed. Got great pictures for me. Rabbit and whitney usually hide from everyone. She was so good with them. I cant thank her enough. Devon even brought our garbage cans up the driveway for us. Im sad she will be leaving wisconsin. But I wish Devon the best of luck on her new endeavors.
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!

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

- 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.
