“Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!”
“Emily and Eric are so great with my dogs. I'm very comfortable leaving my elderly pug and my very fearful rescue dog with them. They give me regular updates and send pics daily, as well as lots of feedback when I pick my girls up. So glad I found them. Highly recommended.”
“Abra took such wonderful care of our pups. She sent lots of pictures, took them on walks and gave them lots of snuggles. I would highly recommend her. She was flexible and able to take our dogs with little notice.”
“Brittany was an amazing dog sitter. She was amazing with my older dog who is a little anxious and not dog friendly. She made sure he was well taken care of. I would definitely let Ryder stay with Brittany any time!”
“Very grateful for Chelsea and her family for being able to accommodate Deebo when we had a last minute trip. Was feeling a little anxious leaving him for a couple days but was very happy to know he was in good hands.”
“Long overdue review... Wonderful home, children and dogs for Mia to have had plenty of fun with! Brianna was accommodating with our long stay request for Mia. Home away from home! Thank you for taking care of Mia for us!!!”
“I’m always amazed at how relaxed Elaine is with dogs and kids and family, each with their separate needs. She went above and beyond to get the right medication for my dogs itchies.”
“I feel so lucky that Leah and Chris are going to be taking care of my senior dog in a few weeks. We had a meet & greet and a trial sleepover. Although that trial was just a few hours, they sent lots of sweet photos and my guy was clearly being well cared for. Chris & Leah were focused on his comfort and well-being. It brings me invaluable peace knowing I can take my trip out of state for a week and leave my darling boy with such caring and attentive people.”
“Danielle and her partner are super sweet, friendly, responsible and thorough when it came to my dog’s care. It was her first time away from me and they made me feel very comfortable and confident that she was well taken care of! I appreciate that they let her on the furniture because she’s a snuggle bug :) Will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Our dog has stayed with Jennnifer before - this stay was a similarly positive experience. Jennifer has been comminicative and flexible with pickup times when we ran into issues with our flights. Our dog has had some struggles with allergies and runny eyes, but came back from Jennifer's bright-eyed and happy. Thanks!”
“So & John took wonderful care of Chloe! They kept us updated with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. They made sure Chloe was well cared for, including giving her medication, and it was clear how much love and attention they gave her. We always felt comfortable leaving Chloe with them and are so grateful for their kindness and care. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter!”
About: I have cared for a variety of breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I've helped train puppies, given medications, and helped anxious dogs remain calm while with us. As a family, we adapt to each pet and pet parent's requests including timing/ frequency of meals, giving medications and only food provided as needed, activities/ walks the dog prefers, crating (or not), and other things that helps them feel comfortable. I work part time and volunteer while my kids are in school. We are home most evenings and days, we have some activities but we're back early in the evening. I have a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood that doesn't have any traffic noise (there is some daytime construction but it hasn't concerned any of our guests yet). I have a spot for their bed that is central to most of our activities so they can observe and relax. Most like the big front window to watch the street from. The girls do a lot of ball throwing, tug of war, and treat hide and seek. They also like to make treats (when pet parents allow) and reward them for responding to commands. I don't allow them to feed dogs anything on their own.
“Debbie, Spoiled our Golden retriever -Chloe. Chloe immediately felt at home with Debbie and her dog Sammy. We got daily update’s and picture’s . Debbie’s house has a great fenced back yard so the dogs can run and play. She has dog beds throughout the house and cool house on hot summer days for the dogs. Highly recommend Debbie and will continue to rebook with her in the future.”
“I know Harley is being well cared for and has good puppy company when she’s with Samantha and her family. This was our second booking with Samantha and she was flexible and helpful!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our dog. Dana and Mark made this a great experience for our dog, and for us. We appreciated the pictures and updates that were shared.”
“When faced with boarding our daily doggy companion, Ike, we were lucky to find Erin. She gave us photos and reports of Ike's adjustment to his new temporary home, which was comforting and appreciated. We will use Erin again if she is available. 5 thumbs up!”
“Dawn was great! We did an initial meet and greet to make sure my dog was comfortable in her house and around her dogs. She sent plenty of status of updates and pictures while watching my dog and my little guy was in great shape when I picked him up. Would definitely use again!”
“Caitlin is a wonderful pet sitter! She’s so sweet, caring, and treats Bear like her own dog. I feel completely at ease leaving Bear with her when I’m out of town. She updates me every day with messages and photos, and she’s knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. I would definitely return to her for future care and services for my dog!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,511 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Canaan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Canaan can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Canaan home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Canaan.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canaan. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
You and your Canaan sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
