House Sitting Canaan

“Trace was fantastic with my two dogs Dobby and Bing. He is very hands on and will take care of the pups like his own. He has experience with large dogs which was imperative for us. I highly recommend Trace and would definitely request his company for the pups.”

About: Hiya! I’m the quiet attentive home you’ve been searching for—whether for a puppy, a senior dog who requires medications, or a fearful pup who needs peace, or reassurance during the workday. I’m home full-time and have been a certified veterinary technician since 2009, with 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, behavior, and humane reward based training. I also hold a certification as a Fear Free Practitioner and a Animal Reiki practitioner. I’d love to welcome your dog into my home or visit yours and provide whatever they need while you’re away—extra puppy potty breaks, medication administration and monitoring, or simply a calm, loving environment where they’re treated like my own. I keep my home peaceful and serene, so I only host one dog at a time to ensure individualized care and attention. The needs of those under my care are prioritized. I will do my best to accommodate your pets schedules needs. Just let me know how to help! The pets that I keep in my home are prioritized, while your baby is under my care they are treated like my own! Bring whatever makes them feel more cozy

“Korin was tidy and communicated amazingly while we were away. Her dog played well with our big breed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needed a house/dog sitter.”

About: I’ve owned animals since I was 10 and have cared for friends animals while they have been on travel. My animals are my family and are treated as such. I recently retired early and have time to spend at home with animals. Lots of land for exercise and all pets stay inside with me. I live on six acres with two dogs, two mini donkeys, a goat and a horse. The entire property is fenced with a barn and shelter for large animals.

“Samantha was very communicative, sent lots of pictures upon request and took great care of our home while we were away for five nights. We have three dogs which we know can be a handful and Samantha had no problem stepping up, walking them multiple times a day, cleaning them if needed, and left the home in great shape, with her bedding washed and folded. Would recommend. Thank you”

About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.

“We had a wonderful experience with Marie and would absolutely book her again. She took excellent care of our 8-year-old indoor/outdoor tabby, and when we returned from our trip, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos, spent lots of time playing with him, and even bought him some new toys. It was obvious that the two of them really bonded. She also kept an eye on an old wound he had and was very attentive to his well-being throughout our time away. She truly went above and beyond. When our cat stayed out later than usual, she walked around the neighborhood calling for him until he came home. We really appreciated how seriously she took his safety and how much she clearly cared about him. She has a big heart for animals and a very good understanding of cats. She even had some thoughtful suggestions about where we might place his food and water to make things work even better for him. She took wonderful care of our home as well. Mail and packages were brought inside, our plants were watered, and everything was extremely tidy when we returned. She even left us some fresh blueberries as a welcome-home snack, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, we really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marie is caring, responsible, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile. She will absolutely be at the top of our list the next time we need a house sitter, and we would recommend her without hesitation.”

About: Hi there! I'm new to Rover, but have been housesitting regularly since December 2024. I've had the opportunity to pet sit in Australia and throughout New Zealand with dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I have also looked after fish and chickens. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies and kittens to older animals with health issues, including pets with arthritis, heart issues, IBD, and asmtha. I'm very diligent about managing any medication or supplements required. In the past, I've had two dogs as my own pets. One was a miniature schnauzer and the other was a mixed breed rescue. Throughout the years, I've pet sat for friends and family as well. I always love getting to know new animals and enjoy taking care of a home and any plants you may have. :) I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to stay in with your pets and make sure they are cared for and happy. *Currently, I am fully booked for housesitting until the beginning of February. If you are interested in booking for your 2027 travel, feel free to send me a message to schedule a meet and greet. I do also offer dog walking or drop-in visits for other clients from about noon to 2 pm, so this would be a time that I may be away from the house. To ensure a good fit, I offer a 30 minute Meet & Greet prior to booking. All bookings include frequent updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am happy to have your fur babies as my close companions or give them more space if they prefer. My goal is make sure they are safe and comfortable while their family is away.

“Ian stayed in our home to care for our 12 year old German Shepherd while we were on a 3 1/2 week long trip. He took great care of our dog and our home and made sure to check in with us periodically. We loved his short updates and pictures. Will definitely ask him and Susan again if they are available for our next trip.”

“Alexia was very responsive during the coordination & scheduling phase, excellent with communicating updates and asking questions as needed while watching our puppy, and handled our new, energetic puppy very well.”

About: My partner (Chip) and I have completed over 5 pet-sits on the platform, Trusted Housesitters. We both grew up with dogs and live a very active lifestyle, so rest assured your dog (or cat) will get plenty of attention and exercise! My partner and I both work from home, so we have plenty of time and bandwidth to care for your pets! We can take for walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and give them plenty of attention while we are working on our laptops. We only have an apartment, so no fenced yard but have easy access to Cathedral Park, Pier Park, and Peninsula Park. We're also right across from Forest Park, so if your pet likes to hike, we can take them on a forest adventure!

“Starla saved our butts when we desperately needed a sitter. My wife and I were travelling out of town, and it just so happened that we had no one available to watch our reactive dog, Momo. We had just moved to the area and were wary of Momo's comfort, but Starla was more than happy to meet Momo and get her comfortable with her. On our trip, Starla sent constant updates, and Momo seemed super at ease and happy with Starla. While we were busy on our trip, it was fantastic knowing Momo was taken care of. We came home to a happy and healthy dog. Thank you again, Starla!”

About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.

About: I truly love all animals, and I bring a patient, gentle, and attentive approach to every pet I care for. I’ve had my own dog in the past, which taught me how to understand animals, support their needs, and train them with consistency and kindness. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable helping with puppies who need guidance as well as older pets who require a little extra care and calm. I choose to do pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy spending time with furry companions, even though my current lifestyle doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own right now. That means when your pet is with me, they get my full presence, affection, and dedication. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and understood, just like they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, especially during the fall and winter months when my workload is quieter. I work as a caterer during the summer, but outside of that season I have plenty of free time—making it easy for me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care. When I’m house-sitting, your pet becomes my priority. I don’t have many daily obligations, so I’m able to stay present, follow their routines closely, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire stay. Pets get my full attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply being a calming, reliable presence at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I take time to understand each pet’s habits—feeding schedule, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs—so I can follow them exactly. I treat your home with the same respect as your pets: keeping everything tidy, secure, and calm. I spend plenty of quality time with your pet, whether that’s playing, going for walks, practicing gentle training cues, or just offering company and comfort. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned in to their energy and emotional needs. I also make sure to give regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel totally at ease, knowing your pet is receiving genuine care and your home is in good hands.

About: The yard is like a private park for your pet(s) they will love it and you will be amazed! I have been a dog owner since family childhood and up until recently (3 months ago). I love dogs, being with them and caring for them. I have experienced first hand all of the joys and concerns involved with and know what to look for and recognize in an animals behaviour to determone happy or otherwise. I can communicate clearly with you how your beloved pet is doing when we're together. I am currently transitioning from a corporate cog to Rover. I will have all of my time when booked to be with and available for your pet. I have a fully fenced yard and no other pets. When I awake I look for your pet(s) and we have morning hellos, next exercise and nourishment as requested and instructed by owners and then play time ! ...

“Haley was very communicative, reliable, and à great sitter. Haley left our house clean and cared for and took vreat care of our great pyrenees puppy. Blue, Haley’s dog, also came to stay and is friendly and good with other dogs. We will definitely usage Haley stay again and really recommend to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet and house sitter!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Chloe! Leaving our two pups for two weeks while we were in Europe was nerve-wracking, especially since our one dog has pancreatitis. But Chloe made the entire experience stress-free. Her communication was fantastic. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos, so we always knew our furry friends were happy and well cared for. Things got even better when Chloe calmly handled a flare-up of our pup's pancreatitis. She administered the medication with ease, keeping us informed throughout the process. When we finally got home, we were greeted by two ecstatic and healthy pups. It was clear they had been showered with love and attention in our absence. Chloe is a true dog lover and a fantastic pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable, caring, and capable of handling unexpected situations with their pets!”

“So grateful to find Sydney! Her love for animals was evident in the exceptional care she provided our two dogs. Right from the start, she understood their needs and ensured they were well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection. She provided regular updates, complete with adorable photos, kept me at ease throughout my time away. Not only did Sydney excel in pet care, she also took great care of our home. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone seeking a reliable and caring professional pet care. Thank you, Sydney, for an outstanding experience!”
