“Stevie stayed in my home with Miley and Parker for four days and took incredible care of both of them. She made sure they received all of their medications, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave them so much love and attention. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs and a house that was just as I left it. Knowing they were so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'll be booking Stevie every chance I get... so get in line! 😊”

“Liz was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She sent several pics even though she stayed 1 night. When we got home, everything was nice and neat. We highly recommend Liz and would definitely use her again!”

“Daniela was amazing. When we got home from our trip our dog was so happy and relaxed. She washed our sheets and sent us regular updates of how everything was going while we were away. I would highly recommend Daniela.”

“Always love using Emily to watch our pup. She is amazing with communication and we can tell she truly loves pet sitting! We have started booking trips around her availability so we can keep getting the best service.”

“Avary did a great job watching over our pets while we were out of town for about a week. Her communication was prompt, she sent lots of pics of our cat and dog, and we look forward to using her again for our pet/house sitting needs in the future!”

“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”

“This was my first time leaving my babies Maggie and Milo for a trip and I was absolutely terrified of it. I was very worried about Maggie in particular because she has separation anxiety and doesn’t warm up to strangers. When Elizabeth saw that Maggie wouldn’t eat whatsoever, she went to the store and bought some food that helped with her appetite. She even took Milo to the vet since nobody else could take him and began administering his meds. I struck gold with Elizabeth who went above and beyond to gain their trust and take care of them. She also did all she could to reassure me and has won my trust. She took such good care of my dogs and I highly recommend her. Definitely will be having her dog sit my babies again when necessary!”

About: I had three miniature dachshunds until they all eventually passed away from old age. I treated them as if they were children. I am very in tune with an animal’s needs and emotions. Animals that I have never met before, usually take to me right away. When I cared for my father-in-law’s dog for two weeks, he did not want to return home with him….lol. I hate to see any animal suffer or be in danger. I go as far to remove turtles from the road so that they do not get hit and I have tried to save numerous injured birds in the wild. Animals, especially, dogs, provide so much unconditional love. I am a retired law enforcement officer. Thus, I have a lot of availability. I am available Sunday-Saturday 24 hours as long as I am provided at least a short notice. I have a fenced in back yard that I always ensure is securely locked at all times. I would pet proof home ensure no medications or cleaning products, etc are accessible to pets. Also, I would only feed what the owner wanted the pet to be fed.

“Patricia has been watching my babies off and on before she joined Rover. now it’s good to have a platform to schedule the times! I must say one of my dogs love her more than me hahaha. She treats them like her own babies! Given I have two large dogs it’s nice she has a huge yard for them To run around in and they feel like she’s their second mom. Could not say enough nice things about her and how happy my dogs are with her. I think they have so much fun they don’t want to come home 😔. 5 stars!”


“Chelsea was fantastic with my dogs. It was a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate wonderfully! She took them for walks, was very attentive and even shared a great photo session with them. They so appreciated her, as do I. We will definitely use her again!”

“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During college, I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and safety. In addition to my professional experience, I have rescued and fostered numerous dogs over the years, helping them transition into loving forever homes. As a proud dog parent to five dogs of my own, I understand that pets are family and deserve the same love, attention, and care we would give our own. I am responsible, compassionate, patient, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while you're away. I look forward to treating your furry family member like one of my own! Experience with: •Senior care •Puppy care •Pets with disabilities •Pet medication administration This season of life has taught me to slow down and focus on what matters most. As I recover from cancer and gradually return to work, pet sitting has become something that brings me joy, purpose, and healing. I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, responsible, and attentive hands. I provide attentive, loving care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets are treated like family and given a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I help maintain their routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep them happy while their owners are away. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love animals.

I’m currently in cosmetology school and also work a part-time job Tuesday through Saturday, usually until around 5 PM.

I have a fenced-in backyard and love going on walks with my fur babies! I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“I can not begin to speak highly enough of Reese. She is absolutely the best house and pet sitter there is. She took AMAZING care of our dog and 4 cats for 4 days. She took note of every single detail we gave her and had excellent communication. All 5 of our animals immediately took to her as soon as we introduced her, even the 2 more skittish ones. You (and your pets) can easily tell she's an animal person immediately. We were phenomenally impressed with her commitment, not skipping a beat despite having car trouble and continuing to provide uninterrupted care for our fur babies. I guarantee if you choose Reese to hire, you will not be disappointed. We found our purrrrfect pet sitter and wouldn't want anyone else. Ten out of five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: Over the last 20 years I have dog sat for my brother and a couple friends. I would let the dogs out to play, potty, feed them etc. My brother also has cats and a fish tank as well. I have had dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Right now I have a hound mix that is 100 pounds and his name is Logan. I will treat your furry friend like my own and love on them as well. I love animals in general. I believe every animal deserves to be cared for wit love, respect, and dignity. They are like humans they have feelings as well. I would love to help you and your family out with your furry friend. You can reach out to me anytime. I currently have a 100 pound hound mix who i absolutely love. He is five years old and five months. He took some time to get used to us as a puppy as we think he was abused. I take him for walks, let him out back and stay with him, and play with him with his favorite toy(tennis balls) I have grown up with animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, upon many others. I have also watched animals for friends and family. I will treat anyone's animals with love. I have a fenced in backyard I let my dog out in. I'm constantly outside with him playing and loving on him to make sure he is safe from anything that will hurt him. I take him on walks in my subdivision to give him a little more exercise. When someone needs to me watch their pet I am letting them out back to play while remaining outside with them and making sure they have fresh air. I will also do daily walks when needed.
About: I’ve had my own animals and taken care of neighbors pets for as long as I can remember. I have lots of experience with cats/kittens & dogs! I have two dogs of my own and a main coon cat. They are basically my children and I take pride in loving on them and treating them like royalty! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule so I’m open to all sorts of pet care! I would love to drop by for a walk, or stay overnight for a weekend! I am lucky to have the freedom of a flexible schedule. I will come to you!

Whether that’s playing with them, giving lots of scratches, or cuddling - they will be treated like my own.

“I can’t say enough good things about Amy ! She was wonderful and took such good care of all of our animals. They did so well even our Great Pyrenees who can be a bit weary of people and doesn’t know. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again !”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Big Canoe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Big Canoe 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 Big Canoe 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 Big Canoe 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 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
