“We’ve worked with Mickayla before, and have a future housesitting scheduled as well. Mickayla is communicative, reliable, and shows great care for our dogs. We’re grateful for Mickayla!”
“Kate was very flexible and accommodating with our dog who was on crate rest and needed some extra attention and help. She had excellent communication and left our home in great order. We will definitely use her again to watch our pets!”
“Lindsey was great! He watched my dogs at my house for 5 days and he did an excellent job communicating with us daily, sending pics and updates on the pups. House was clean when we returned. He had good training tips as well. He even covered up our outdoor furniture for us when it started raining, which was much appreciated. I would rebook, dogs seemed very happy with him.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! It was such a relief knowing our pets were happy, loved, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Mercedes kept us updated, was incredibly reliable, and left our home in great condition. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Zach house sat while I was away and took very good care of my dogs. I got updates and pictures . Very respectful and thoughtful with his services. I highly recommend him for your dog care needs.”
About: I grew up having many animals and have had cats and dogs my entire life. I love talking care of animals as well as going on walks! I also live on a farm with many different animals! I just graduated college so my schedule if pretty clear! I do catering some weekends so weekdays I am usually more free. I am also available any time of day! I live on a farm with many types of animals including chickens. I am able to have pets at my home but they need to be able to get along with chickens and other animals.
“Mackenzie was an excellent communicator! She did a fabulous job caring for our anxious dog. I could tell she was very in tune to my dogs needs and provided lots of love. She's the best dog sitter I've booked through Rover this far.”
“June was very responsive, respectful, and so good with my sweet boy Phoenix. The videos and photos she sent showed he was clearly doing well with her in my absence ♥️”
About: Experienced animal caretaker here, who understands the special bond each of us has with our pets. I have a gentle giant named Theo myself, who loves all creatures. I’ve house sat as well as boarded dogs and cats short/long term, checked in to ensure pet friends have everything they need, and have taken dogs out for sniffing adventures and relief walks for years. My goal with each fur friend is to ensure they are well cared for and happy! I treat pets like family and enjoy creating lasting bonds. I’ve recently relocated to the area and am excited to develop my pet care business here in Portland! I’m currently available during the week and weekends to house sit, provide walks or drop-in for your pets short and long term. For HOUSE SITTING: Theo will be with me during house stays, who is an excellent house guest and friend to all creatures. She has lived with cats, dogs, birds and rodent pets. I’ll help your animals feel comfortable and stable in their home environments and support their needs and maintain their routines and feeding, play and walking schedules.
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Elaine was great with our cat & dog! We will definitely be booking her again in the future. She was great at communicating and sending us daily updates while pet sitting for us.”
“Roxy did a fabulous sit for us. She was so on top of everything we requested. Roxy gave us piece of mind so we could enjoy our vacation while both of our pets also got a vacation along with a new friend! Her communication was stellar; checking in, great pictures and clarification of requests. We will look forward (and our fur kids) to having Roxy sit for us again.”
“Sparkle was AMAZING 🤩. We felt so safe leaving our cat and our dog who has never been away from me before and has a myriad of health issues in their care. We were updated with photos and came back to relaxed pets and a clean home. Would rehire Sparkle in the future in a heartbeat.”
“I had a great experience with Malissa. The thing that I appreciated the most is her communication. I always knew everything about my doggo and how he is doing and I got pictures every night. She even contacted me with weather warnings during the big storm Portland had during my travels and was willing to stick around if my flight got canceled. Will recommend and rebook for sure.”
“Susan is an absolute gem! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she treats every pet as if they were part of her own family. She took incredible care of our sweet 19-year-old Shorkie (Rosie) and our Siberian cat (Stella) showing so much love, patience, and attention to detail. Our senior pup has particular needs, and Susan handled everything with such gentle confidence and compassion—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful notes that made us feel connected even from afar. Our pets adored her, and it was clear they felt safe and loved in her care. Coming home to calm, happy animals was the best feeling ever. We couldn’t recommend Susan more highly—she truly goes above and beyond and has a heart of gold. If you’re looking for someone who treats your furry family members like her own, Susan is the one!”
“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canby
Lauren was such a joy to leave my somewhat challenging but lovable Ridgeback Chloe -and Lauren bonded beautifully with her. She was wonderful with photos and fun communication and left the home as if no one had been here while I was gone. Extremely reliable and capable, which made my vacation even more enjoyable. I will definitely book her again and refer her to others!
Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Canby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Canby on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,644 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canby. 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 Canby 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 Canby 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 Canby 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canby. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
