“Lorianne was absolutely incredible with our pets! Our dog is very timid and wary of strangers, but he absolutely loved her! She sent pictures and updates regularly, and we felt very safe with her :)”
About: (Bilingual) My name is Lizzet and I have experience with all sorts of animals big and small. if your pup is kid friendly im your gal! My kids which i homeschool come with me on the walks. I've fostered and have offered dog boarding for many years! But right now my place is too small. I'm comfortable with every breed big or small and available on short notice. Im a stay at home mom and pursuing a dog training career. We just relocated back to FL and can offer dog walking/house sitting/ and drop in visits. I can also help with grooming and basic trainning. Love seeing new furry faces! I can dog walk 1-3xs a day per dog, ill provide pic of the walk and update each time. Sometimes my kids will be present. I have tons of leash control, behavior and pet care trainning. I wont be walking dogs in huge groups. 1-3 dogs if they are compatible, and close by.
“I had a great experience with Mary being in our home while away for work. She was very attentive and engaged with Kona our dog, making sure she got plenty of attention, playtime, and care while I was away. It was clear Kona felt comfortable and happy with Mary. She also treated our home with respect, keeping everything clean, tidy, and well cared for, she even watered my plants. I truly appreciated the peace of mind knowing I could trust her in our home and caring for Kona.”
“Carmen did a wonderful job watching our home and caring for our senior dog while we were away. She gave us periodic updates while we were gone but was also always available whenever we reached out to her to make sure things were going smoothly. When we arrived home, you would have never known she was here, she left everything just as clean as when she arrived. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Jessica truly is a 10/10! She is reliable, communicative, responsible, and she showered my dogs and cats with endless love during her stay. Jessica sent me updates and photos each day! It was extremely comforting to know that my fur babies were in good hands while I was away! She also kept everything very clean for the animals and made my house extra tidy for my return (even took out the garbage she used, which was not necessary …but it highlights the attention to detail and care she has). I will be using her for future bookings and would happily refer her to my friends and family! I highly recommend!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 been close to pets my whole life. When I was little I had cats and dogs as pets and for me they were my best friends. I been taking care of a Cooker spaniel, Husky, Chihuahuas, French bulldogs, Yorkies, Malteses, and more.. I love to visit my friends and spend more time playing with their pets than talking with them. I owned a Frenchie. he is very healthy and friendly, I cook for him every day, I follow a schedule for walks every 4 hours during the day and I bring him to the park around 6pm so he play and burns some energy before going to sleep I currently work as an Rbt, I do have to leave the house for 3 hours from 3-6. then I’m home the rest of the time. I live on a building on Omni station 22 floor I have two rooms and big enough living room. I have no problem with pets on the couch. I make sure the apartment is always clean, organized and safe for the pets.
About: I have had small dog and large dog experiences. My first dog’s name was Roma, and she was a very small dog of about 10 pounds. She was a Coton de Tulear. I have also walked American Bulldogs, German Shepherds and Boston Terriers! I love walking a variety of animals! I also love cats! I’m currently working full time so I have time to walk dogs between 12pm-1pm on weekdays. Monday through Friday I am available from 6:30pm-8pm. I am also available most Saturdays and Sundays, for walks. I would be happy to have new pets in my home! Mostly I am happy I do walks, and have fun with the dogs! I have a positive attitude and love animals!
“Nabilah has sat for 2x now each time she is 100% on task with Cassidy informative, followed all directions to assist with Cassidy’s schedule and medication needs, we are always confident that Cassidy will be in great hands with Nabilah!!!!! Thank you against Jean”
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals—from playful dogs to curious bearded dragons! Being around animals genuinely makes me happy. Each one has their own unique personality, and getting to know them is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. Right now, my schedule is very flexible. On days I’m working, I can arrive as early as 6 AM and stay as late as 10 PM. When I arrive, my priority is making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take my time letting them warm up to me, and I always make sure your home is left tidy—no mess, no stress—just a happy pet waiting for you! As of right now, I have free availability but when I am working, I could be there as early as 6 am and as late as 10 pm I’d make sure they are as comfortable as possible when I first arrive and let them warm up to me, I’d also make sure everything is in place, no mess, and that your baby is as happy as ever!
“She did such an amazing job! She sent me daily videos and pictures of my pups and they seemed really happy. Thank you so much!! We will definitely be using you again when the time comes!!!”
“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.”
“Michelle was a top notch pet sitter. She took amazing care of our dog and cat for a week. She was terrific with communication and she left the house sparkling clean. I highly recommend Michelle to others and would rebook her in a second.”
“Adrianna was so helpful and a lifesaver! She is clearly an animal lover and it put my mind at ease leaving my puppy for the first time. She provided lots of updates and photos, and my puppy loved her! She went above and beyond 👍”
About: What sets me apart is that I've been caring for animals my entire life. I've owned four dogs, three cats, a bird, and a rabbit, giving me experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. As a child, I even started a dog-walking business in my neighborhood at just 8 years old! Later, I fostered puppies for It's The Pits Rescue in San Diego, gaining experience with young dogs and helping them thrive in a loving environment. Because I work from home and am home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long periods. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play fetch or frisbee, and get plenty of exercise. Inside, they'll receive lots of attention, affection, and snuggles. I've also pet sat for neighbors and friends over the years and can provide references. I understand that every pet is unique, and I will care for yours as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I rarely leave for extended periods, so pets in my care receive lots of attention and supervision rather than being left alone for hours. Whether your pet enjoys playing in the yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing with company, I can easily incorporate their needs into my schedule and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like family and are never left outside unattended. I have a large, securely fenced yard for supervised playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. Inside, pets have a comfortable, clean environment where they can relax and receive plenty of attention and affection. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide lots of supervision, love, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Canal Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 558 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 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.
