“Eliana is fantastic. We had a change in plans at the last minute and she was very flexible. She kept us updated and sent Photos throughout the time she was taking care of our dog. Our dog is a bit quirky to say the least, and she took care of him very well… And to top it off, our house was cleaner than when we left. I highly recommend Eliana!”
“Giana was amazing with my pups, I think they miss her more than than the girls missed me. Giana stayed at the house and left it just the way I left it clean, tidy and sent plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone. I would highly recommend and trust her for daily walks, stay overs, or other sitting needs.”
“I have never left our crew for this long before, and Hadil made me feel very confident to do so. She is a smart, caring, and resourceful woman who shared updates and kept everyone happy and safe while we were gone. In addition to the cats, she also cared for our barn animals as well. My elderly in-laws, who live on the property, enjoyed visiting with her as a person and told me that I most definitely made the right choice!”
“Nathan was amazing with my animals! Nathan was able to accept a last minute booking, which I was SO grateful for. I received photos and updates while I was away, and I came home to two happy dogs and a happy cat! I WFH so I am with my animals 24/7, and being away from them usually causes me a lot of stress because I worry about them too much. But with Nathan there, I genuinely wasn’t worried about them at all because I knew they were in great hands. I will definitely be hiring Nathan again, and I’m so happy my dogs and my cat were so well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Jasmine is absolutely the BEST choice for pet sitting your high maintenance four-legged friends! She is honest, loving, communicative, responsible, and completely trustworthy. She dealt with several snafus while I was away without blinking an eye. My baby seemed totally content when I returned after six days away and the house was just as put together as when I left. For years I was reluctant to leave my senior dog but Jasmine's competency has given me a whole new level of freedom. Look no further, Jasmine is the petsitter you want and need!”
About: What sets me apart is my patient, low-stress approach to caring for both cats and dogs. I let pets set the pace, offering gentle attention, interactive play, quiet companionship, or relaxed walks depending on their energy and mood, all while strictly maintaining their daily routines. I genuinely love animals, and nothing fills my cup more than spending quality time getting to know each unique fur buddy. I work from home with a highly flexible routine, which allows me to seamlessly incorporate pet drop-ins and house visits into my day. Because I set my own workflow, I can easily stick to strict feeding schedules, medication times, and midday check-ins without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their exact daily routines in an environment where they already feel safe. I follow your precise instructions for feeding schedules, fresh water refills, litter box maintenance, and medication administration. I allow cats and anxious pets to approach me at their own pace, offering gentle affection, interactive play, or quiet companionship depending on their mood. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping doors secure, handling mail or plants if requested, and sending detailed visit updates with photos so you have total peace of mind.
“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”
“It’s always a pleasure to have Ashley pet sit - she’s communicative, responsible, and all of my animals love her. Actually, one of my cats might like her more than me. :) Zero hesitations rebooking in the future, and I highly recommend her!”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”
“Melany pet sat my four animals for me for an overnight. She was easy to communicate with before the sit, took lots of cute pictures during, and left my house very clean. I came home to happy animals all around. Would highly recommend for any of your needs on Rover!”
“Channing housesat for our two dogs and our cat with loving care. She obviously knows a lot about taking care of animals and our three family members--two of which are well past middle age--responded well. We look forward to working with Channing in the future!”
About: I’ve always absolutely adored animals! I became a vegetarian when I was 6 years old and I’ve been vegan now for 9 years. I’ve always been a go-to house/pet sitter for my friends and family, as everyone knows I treat every fur baby as my own! I also have experience working at an actual dog hotel + doggy daycare, so I’m very familiar and comfortable with administering medications, juggling multiple animals at once, and paying close attention to certain behaviors. My full time position is WFH + eastern time hours (6am-3pm) so I have an incredibly flexible schedule being able to work from anywhere. My full time job is 100% WFH, so I can work elsewhere is needed. Otherwise, being off at 3pm makes it feel like I still have the whole day ahead of me by the time I’m off work! Pet care is something my world revolves around, happily! If your pet is ever at my house, there’s quite a few perks with that! (1) built-in doggy best friend in my pug that LOVES other dogs (2) fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around and comfortably go potty (3) dogs are allowed on all of my furniture, so the snuggles are the sweetest and comfiest!
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and have volunteered at shelters and adoption events like Rocket Dog Rescue and Pets Lifeline since I was a kid. Through this rescue work, I am experienced in safe new dog introductions and behavioral de-escalation. I adopted my current dog at an event I was working and raised her as my emotional support animal on my busy college campus, which taught me how to keep pets grounded in stimulating environments. She is fantastic with small dogs, so if your little ones stay with us, they will have a friendly companion. Whether you have a big breed, a timid rescue, or an independent cat, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them while you are away. I just finished my masters program so I currently have a highly flexible schedule, meaning I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My weekends are sometimes eventful, but my weeks are free for some furry love! I live in a cozy condo in Sonoma with my dog. While I don't have a private yard, I have a beautiful porch perfect for afternoon sunbathing. Safety is my top priority, so dogs are only ever allowed on the porch when I am home and actively supervising them. To make up for the lack of a yard, I go on frequent adventures! My dog and I regularly visit the lovely park just around the corner to run and search for lizards, and we love walking the perimeter of the Sonoma Square for people watching.
About: I have taken care of dogs, multiple sizes, and try my best to make them feel like they're on vacation. I make sure I practice their tricks too, to make sure they keep learning while on vacation. I always listen to the owner and make sure everything goes according to plan. I currently work part time and I have lots of free time. I like spending time with pets, so this would be perfect. I usually go walking around the neighborhood around the afternoon. The pets can accompany me on the walk and play fetch. I also watch movies during the day, so they can company me while I am watching. I make sure the pets are always watched and not bored. I have a fenced backyard and have grass for them to pee on. I always make sure the dog is comfortable and on leash. I make sure there is water for them at all times.
About: I've been around animals since I was a baby. I have a fondness for the senior pets, they are just the sweetest! I love having playtime and cuddle time and a good walk if you're pet enjoys walks. (My grand cat walks on a leash, so we go on walks all the time). It's a scary time when pet parents are away for both pet and parent and I'll be there to make all of you at ease! I have a very flexible part-time job, so that frees me up to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby most weekdays and weekends, even holidays! I have three indoor feral rescue kitties. It took time and trust on all sides, but all three are now the sweetest cats ever! Every fur baby that has been brought into my house over the years, was either a feral I rescued off the street or adopted from a shelter. Mine are indoor only, except for when I sit on the porch. They get to come outside, but they all stay on the porch and come inside when I do.So lots of toys and enrichment is important for them. They all love to play fetch and chase the laser! Whatever your pet requires or whatever their routine is, I'm there for it. It's all about your pet and putting your mind at ease that they are in the best possible hands!
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have over 2 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. My experience ranges from caring for high energy foster puppies who require lots of play time and long walks to providing more patient gentle care to calm senior dogs who just want to be in your company. I am extremely reliable, passionate and trustworthy. I currently work full time in the wine industry and am off from work at around 4:00 pm daily. I am free any day of the week for afternoon walks and care! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow your instructions carefully and diligently for feeding, watering, walking etc… Each visit includes a walk, potty break and dedicated play time. I also ensure your home remains tidy and secure while you’re away.
“Fuliang was great. Would definitely let him house sit again. This was our first time using Rover. We were away for 4 days. He stayed at our home and watched our two dogs. He sent us picture updates when they went for walks. There were no issues and the house was in good order when we returned.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - American Canyon
This was our first time booking Eliana, and she was great! She sent us a few updates and photos each day which was perfect, and she left our house clean and tidy. Our dog can be a little tricky to walk and she handled him really well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or hire her again! Thank you Eliana!!! 🙂
Wonderful sitter! She was professional, detail-oriented, and so kind and patient with our puppy. Even when our puppy gave her a few challenges, she handled everything calmly and kept us well informed. We’d absolutely have her back. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our puppy!
Aimee is a true gem. Her presence is so calming and reassuring to both of us and our boy. I wasn't nervous at all to be away. She sent wonderful pictures that are professional quality. If you need an awesome pet sitter, Aimee is your answer. I just can't say enough about her.

The average cost of House Sitting in American Canyon is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $122 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred American Canyon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in American Canyon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in American Canyon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
