About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I'm trained in canine CPR and currently work at a dog shelter, where I spend my days making sure dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm also bilingual, which helps me communicate with a wider range of pet owners and provide a welcoming experience. I truly enjoy being around animals and will treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at a dog shelter, where I spend my days caring for dogs and making sure they're happy, healthy, and comfortable. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with own pet. So caring for pets through Rover fits naturally into my schedule. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while they're with me. I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I'll also follow any special instructions, including medications or specific routines, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.
About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth! I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they feel right at home. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, keeping them on their normal routine, and making sure they get plenty of attention, cuddles, and exercise. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves to play all day or prefers quiet cuddle time, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and make sure they receive the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM as a medical professional. Before and after work, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. On evenings and weekends, I have more flexibility to provide extended care, overnight stays, and plenty of attention. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I follow your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also provide any medications if needed and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pet as if they were my own. 🐾

“Very wonderful. She was polite and listened to all of our instructions. Our dogs loved her. She was very kind and loving with them. Highly recommend for your next dog sitting needs.”
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.
About: Over the years, I've handled care for our animal friends of all shapes and sizes. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs, mice and rabbits. My dear Violet was a senior cat under my care for 7 wonderful years once she found me as her forever home. Senior care is something I'm familiar with when it comes to mobility issues and medications. Just leave me the details and I'll handle the rest while you're away! Currently I'm working full time, typically in the evenings. This leaves me time to take care of our critters in the morning and afternoon before work, then help with medication and cuddles after dinner. For the time being, I will only be taking care of pets in your home. My girlfriend and I currently have two senior dogs and a cat with special needs. To keep them comfortable and happy, we've decided to keep the environment limited to just them. Typically we free feed ours, but will mix they're medications into wet food to ensure they get their proper dosages. If your pet is on a scheduled feeding, I have no issues accommodating and will follow your instructions to the T.
“Jessica took amazing care of our boy Blue - he got such much pool time and lots of cuddles which made him a happy boy. I appreciated all the feedback and beautiful pictures and the house was left nice and tidy. Thank you Jessica!!”
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!
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.

About: Humans don’t deserve the unconditional love that dogs give. I promise to do what I can to give TLC back! It would bring me great joy and pleasure to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. As someone who grew up with dogs my entire life, I will always love your pet as if he/she is my own. I know no other way! I understand the importance of meeting every dog where they are. Each animal has their own personality and style, and I know how to adapt to meet those needs and wants. Big or small, old or young - I understand the dedication and commitment required to look after your precious pet, and I look forward to spreading my love and care to them. I am usually around on the weekends. As a law student, my schedule during the week is variable. I have a full-time job this summer, so my services may be limited to early mornings and evenings/nights during that period. I have a puppy named Lucy, so I am extremely conscious of how important safety and supervision is. I defer to, and abide by, every owners’ requests.
“This is my third time using Glenn to take care of my dogs. He always keeps me updated on them by sending me pictures and they always look happy. I will keep using Glenn for as long as he can stay with them. I feel very comfortable having him take care of my dogs and can always trust him with them.”
“Rachel was just so amazing! We had her board at our kitties at our home for 5 days. We just got 2 new kittens and have been integrating them with our senior cat and it was really important to us to find someone who can truly help. Rachel followed all the instructions, she fed, cleaned, played with the kitties, continue the introduction period, swapped smells, kept our apartment clean and tidy, vacuumed daily and we couldn't be more happier! Our kitties adore her! Her communication was exceptional, she sent photos and pictures and was keept us in the loop continues. I felt so safe and comfortable leaving oru fur babies with her. She really has a nack for animals and they absolutely love her! I would not hesitate to hire her if I was you. She is my go to girl from now and I'm so happy to have found her! Thank you Rachel for your care.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Canal Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 579 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.
