“Patrick went above and beyond our expectations! Excellent and timely communication, pictures daily of our happy pup, and a clean house upon our return home. We highly recommend Patrick!”
“We were extremely happy with the care Megan provided. This was our first time using Rover with house/pet sitter and so happy we did. We came home from our 5 day trip to a very happy Brady! Megan sent us pictures and messages daily and our Brady looked like he was enjoying the extra attention. We will certainly use Megan again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey did an amazing job caring for our home and pets while we were away for four days and three nights. From the start, she was professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Our pets were clearly well cared for and received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Hailey kept us updated while we were away, and it was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and our house was clean, secure, and well maintained. Hailey went above and beyond our expectations and treated both our home and pets as if they were her own. Her rates were very fair, especially considering the outstanding level of care and service she provided. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: I have always loved all types of animals. My family has bred, trained, and shown multiple different breeds of dogs. I’m very good and training all different breeds and well known to have the best behaved dogs. If I had it my way I would have a ranch full of all different types of animals. I’m very gentle and normally can read dogs and go at their pace for training or care. I love to walk dogs and play with cats. I no longer have a pet of my own, but wanna fill that void by watching over you alls. I’m pretty open and love to just spend time with animals. I have flexible schedule and can work remotely right now. I can focus on each animals individual timely needs. I’m a pretty ocd individual and like to keep things tidy and clean. I start the day off with walk then feeding animals. Play throughout the day. Afternoon walks and then dinner and more play time. Depending on animal they normally can sleep with me as well.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.

I currently dog walk still for a few clients, but definitely want to expand my horizons into meeting new dogs and new people! I absolutely love building a bond with my dogs, but I also love the dogs the clients as well! I can’t wait to take care of your furry friend <3 I currently work a job at a restaurant.

I can easily attach a harness or a collar and remove it and I can also lift dogs of any size or keep dogs of any size off sofas or beds. I can do almost anything to give your dog a safe and comforting environment!
“This was the first time for us to use Glenn to watch our Dog Moose. What a great guy! Moose ended up being sick and his concern and care was amazing. Moose could not have been in better hands! You definitely cannot go wrong if you choose him to watch your four legged babies.”
“Stephanie took such great care of our dogs while we were away! She was attentive to all of their special needs and gave them lots of love. We so appreciated the thorough and detailed regular updates!”
About: Hi my name is Karyn I’m a pet lover since birth and I’ve been professionally caring for pets for the past 6 years. Looking back on my childhood I don’t remember a time where I haven’t had a animal. We’ve had turtles, dogs, cats, fish, ducks, chickens, and hamsters. I have a History of working with pets of all ages & providing a variety of medical care to special needs pets. Pet care doesn’t feel like a job it’s definitely a calling. Due to my flexible work schedule I have a large availability to care for all of your pets needs and set aside time to play with your furr baby. Unfortunately I do not offer in home boarding at this time. That may change soon but as of now I only offer pet sitting and in home visits.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Cane corsos, pit bulls and currently have a golden retriever. I am not afraid to get dirty and loving with your furball!❤️ I work part time, which leaves me a lot of time to take care of animals especially my own golden retriever. It’s something I already do! I have a beautiful and polite golden retriever who loves to play but is also very gentle, I also will constantly supervise and make sure they have all they need.
About: I've had dogs all through my young age, Military days and now retired days. I now have no pets and enjoy there energy and company while I work. I work from laptop. I'm currently a retired Army Vet. I have a Film company and a Record company. All my work is done on a Desktop, and for work on Laptop. I am very attentive to schedule and can also read pets body language. Animals are very smart, you just have to learn to understand them.
“Clare is an amazing sitter! This was my second time booking her, and I couldn’t be happier. My little Luna absolutely adores her! Clare kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She left the house spotless and even washed the bedding so I wouldn’t have to deal with it after a long trip which is such a thoughtful touch. Thank you, Clare! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Isabella! I’ve always been a big dog person and have had dogs around me for most of my life. I’ve cared for dogs of all different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I honestly enjoy getting to know each one and figuring out what makes them comfortable and happy. I’m pretty attentive when it comes to dogs, so I pay attention to the little things, whether that’s their normal routine, how they act around new people, what they like to do on walks, or when they just seem a little off. I’m also someone who would much rather send you too many pictures than have you wonder what your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m happy to keep their normal routine as much as possible and give them plenty of attention while you’re gone. I’m also the owner of Proc & Paws, a local pet-care business, so caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. When you’re away, my goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and for you to feel like you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your pup! My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I offer walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays and can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to keep their usual feeding, walking, potty, medication, and bedtime schedules as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pet’s day to feel as normal as it would if you were home. I especially love overnight stays because I get to really settle into a pet’s routine, whether that means an early morning walk, a midday potty break, dinner at their usual time, or winding down together at night. I’ll always chat with you beforehand about your pet’s schedule and what they’re used to so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m very attentive when it comes to both pets and the homes I’m caring for. Before a stay, I like to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, personality, and anything else that will help me take the best care of them. I’m also mindful of the little things around the house while you’re away. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep things clean and picked up, and treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine. If there’s anything you’d like me to take care of while I’m there, like bringing in mail or packages, watering plants, or taking out the trash, I’m always happy to help. And of course, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs, cats, and other pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication reminders, and maintaining their normal routines with care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule in-home visits around my work schedule and prioritize reliable, consistent care with regular communication and updates. My preference is providing in-home visits at the pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I can accommodate care in my home for special circumstances when needed.
About: I’m Rory, and you can trust that your dog will be loved and cared for like they were my own. I know how hard it is to trust, but I hope meeting Layla and me will let you relax and know that your best friend is with their new friend. I live in a two-story home with a huge fenced-in backyard—plenty of space for zoomies, fetch, and outdoor lounging. There’s shade to keep your pup cool, and inside is filled with warmth, cozy corners, and all the comforts they need to feel safe and happy. Your dog will have a built-in buddy—Layla, our friendly pup who wakes up around 6:30 AM and enjoys starting her day with some backyard play. After breakfast, we usually head to the dog park for an hour of running and social time, followed by a relaxing walk home. Your dog will get to enjoy all of this and if they are anything like Layla, they will smile and race into the park like it was their Disneyland, because the park is truly the happiest place on Earth. During the day, they'll enjoy some food, brushing, and chill time. We keep the energy balanced with a second walk or park trip later in the day, followed by dinner and wind-down time. After 5 years of boarding and training dogs, I've become more empathic, which allows me to treat your precious dog like the extraordinary gift they are. Our home is filled with toys and brain games to keep your dog entertained and mentally stimulated throughout the day. Whether your dog loves to run, nap, fetch, or cuddle, I got you covered. I had an old English sheepdog named Shawnee when I was a kid. I could never say Shawnee cause I was too young, so I called it ka. My earliest memories are of Ka and me cuddling. When your dog is in my care, you never have to worry. Life will give you enough to worry about; your pet's happiness won't be one of them when it is with me. Play, Love, and Plenty of Attention—Your Dog’s Second Home Hi! I’m Rory, and along with my wife and our sweet pup Layla, we’d love to welcome your dog into our home. Both my wife and I work from home, so your dog will never be alone and will always have someone nearby for cuddles, playtime, or just some quiet company. We live in a spacious two-story home with a huge fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe play, zoomies, and lounging in the shade. Inside, we’ve got plenty of cozy spots, brain games, and toys to keep your pup mentally and physically stimulated throughout the day. Our dog Layla is friendly and social—she goes to the dog park just around the corner three times a day! Whether your dog is high-energy or laid-back, they’ll get the perfect balance of exercise, attention, and rest. Here’s what a typical day looks like: Morning backyard time with Layla A fun trip to the park and a walk Breakfast and a good brushing Quiet time, playtime, and enrichment around the house Another park visit or walk in the afternoon Dinner and wind-down time in the evening With two spacious floors and a large fenced-in backyard, your dog will have plenty of room to play and feel right at home. There’s plenty of shade outside to keep them cool during playtime, and lots of love and cozy spots inside to help them feel safe, relaxed, and special.
“Jonathan and Giannina were wonderful with Mister MacDuffin. They were attentive, communicative and it was clear that he was comfortable and happy in their care. This was my first trip away from him using Rover, and they truly put me at ease. I would gladly book with them again for in house sitting, boarding or daycare. Thank you both so much!”
About: PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT BOARD PETS. I ONLY HOUSE SIT (YOUR HOME) Now that I'm done traveling, I am back in Palm Beach ready to take care of your pet family :) While traveling, I was very active on TrustedHouseSitters (20+ sits) while watching dogs, cats, birds, pigs, chickens, and more! This was a great experience but I do prefer Rover when local. Also good to mention, I have been an international couchsurfer and host since 2016. I respect people's homes and love being helpful to travelers. I am a film editor freelancer. I spend most of my days at the computer. However, I am super active, try to walk after every meal and go for a bike ride every day. Very open to your dog’s needs, whether it be inside only, backyard only, crate trained, etc. love being around all dogs and am happy to keep them in their groove.

As of November 2026, there are 549 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canal Point. 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 Canal Point 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 Canal Point 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 Canal Point 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.
