“Colette took fantastic care of our dog! We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. She sent us pictures of our boy when we were away and he looked very content. We will be booking with Colette again very soon!”
“Ellen was great!! We came back home to a very happy Peaky and a spotless apartment (dishes and linen all cleaned too!). Peaky can sometimes be a shy cat but he became friends with Ellen very quickly. We also appreciated the regular communication/updates and pics. Would love to have her sit Peaky again!”
About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.
“This was our first time ever having someone outside of our family watch our dogs, so we were a little nervous—but Diyanna was amazing! She kept us updated several times a day, had great communication, and was so sweet. Our dogs absolutely loved her! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Ryan is awesome, she took in a newly rescued Pit Bul and took care of it in my home over the holidays She is considerate, conscientious and understands dogs. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Anthony was absolutely great! He was so accommodating and really put our minds at ease knowing our pups were in such great care. Our dogs were so comfortable from the minute he met them, and he kept us updated throughout our trip. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a dogsitter!”
“Took excellent care of my dog. Came for a meet and greet which helped a lot. Exceptional communication and constant updates. Thank you very much for everything. Recommend to all.”
“The thought of leaving our fur babies behind for a week for the first time was nerve wracking however Nicky gave us a ton of peace of mind had a meet and greet and we felt super comfortable and our dogs did too . She sent us picture updates while we were away which helped us enjoy our time knowing our dogs were being well taken care off .she even fixed our sliding door that fell off haha overall it was a great experience and both our house and our fur babies were taken care amazingly would recommend to everyone and will be using her again .”
“Leaving your fur family behind is always a bit stressful, but Grace made it completely worry-free. She has such a natural, kind energy that our three dogs picked up on immediately. Usually, when we return home from a trip, our pups are practically climbing over us in a frantic greeting. This time? They were so relaxed and content that I’m honestly convinced they were a little disappointed to see us walk through the door instead of her! It is such a gift to find a sitter who doesn't just "watch" your pets, but truly connects with them. Grace is kind, attentive, and clearly has a huge heart for animals. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own, look no further. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Harry is absolutely amazing with my dogs and I cannot book him enough. My pets are happy and calm and I am super calm being able to leave him with my fur family and my home. He is overly communicative and flexible.”
“Allyson did a great job with 2 dogs and cat :) my smaller dog is particular about who he likes and he warmed up to her right away. She also did a great job with my older girl who takes a few medications and has some incontinence. Thanks, Allyson!”
About: I've been the go-to sitter for my everyone in my circle of friends. I've been petsitting for 5 years. I've taken care of pets with medicinal needs such as diabetes, seizures and daily medication. I'm comfortable with most breeds; I've taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkshire Terrier to a dog as large as a Newfoundland. I work a 9-5 job, but if the home is close enough to where I work regularly, then i will stop by and check on the pets on my lunch. Outside of my work hours, I usually strive to keep their routines as close to their normal as possible. I typically send photos or updates throughout the day--either in the morning when we wake up and in the evening before bed--to provide the assurance mom and/or dad need for their babies. For cats, I typically make sure their litter boxes are cleaned out before bed, every night during my stay. To make sure the pets are comfortable with me, I usually like to request to see the pets a week before I am scheduled to watch them. For dogs: I will ask for the dog to be spayed or neutered. If the dog is reactive, I will not take them out on walks for both mine and the animal’s safety. However, like my own pet, I will designate a play time to help expend energy in the safety & familiarity of the home. For cats: it's really whatever the cat is comfortable with. I will make sure that they have a clean litter box every night. Regardless of pet, I make sure they are fed on time with fresh water available. To ensure a stress-free time while mom and/or dad are away, I am willing to adapt to cater to the pet's comfortability.
About: I took two years of Animal science where I learned how to administer medications and injections, perform pet CPR and First Aid, Restraints on all pets including livestock, and more! My daily/ weekly activity consists of being with family, playing with mine and others pets, and working at my part time job! I am free 24/7 for all pet care besides boarding! First, I would talk about it with the pet owners and see what the animal’s needs are. I would work with the already implemented schedule of the pet to ensure the pet is in routine.
“Jaquan did an amazing job with our two frenchies and left the home cleaner than when we left, with two happy puppies. We will definitely reach out to him again for our needs.”
About: Some people innately connect with animals. Maybe this cannot be taught or learned. Even those animals who "don't like anyone" like me. It's a gift. Perhaps they can tell I'm a gentle giant and it makes them feel safe and protected. Whether cat or dog or some other creatures, I will lavish affection and attention on them (if they're into that). Or simply let them call the shots until they're ready to warm up a bit more. As a large, fit dude, I can manage even the strongest dogs, but I'm nimble and delicate with the smaller ones and cats. It comes naturally, and your pets will sense it. Summertime affords more flexibility for me as a teacher. I do have another PT gig currently on Tuesdays & Thursdays in the afternoons. But I'm mostly available the other 5 days for now, and am willing to spend time with your pets before and after shifts on days I work. For many years, I've cared for dozens of friends' pets. Long before Rover existed, I was a resident car provider in my community. Everyone knows I am reliable, professional, responsive, and flexible. Clean, sober, non-smoker.
“Would highly recommend using Daniel and Haruka for any dog sitting needs! They were so excellent during our 5 night house sitting providing daily updates and photos for us. They followed every recommendation for our dog, were easy to communicate with and even helped water my plants.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 12 (I am now 24 with two cats). I love being active and caring for fur babies. As a student, my schedule is very flexible so I have lots of time to spend with my babies. Even when I am busy, it is still important that I give them lots of attention. It’s easy because their daily routine is my daily routine. I will care for your babies however I am instructed to! I want to make sure that I understand their needs and am respectful of your home!
“We really appreciate Wat’s help this past weekend with our senior bully. She was incredibly communicative and kind. I could tell by the photos that our dog was a fan, too. We’ll definitely book again!”

Sarah was wonderful when watching my senior cat, George. I was super nervous about leaving my cat alone for a few days but Sarah provided George with so much companionship and love. It made me feel so much better about going on my trip. And I know George appreciated the comfort with Sarah there. Thank you so much!
Shawna was FANTASTIC. I cannot say enough great things about her, she did same day booking with only a few hours notice. My pups loved her and I hope she comes back to dog sit for us soon! She also sent multiple updates and pictures of them during her time with them. An absolute gem!

My husband and I both needed to be out of town unexpectedly. We had a new puppy and I was unsure what to do for her. We found Rover and I’m so incredibly grateful we found Haven! She was absolutely wonderful. She stayed with Ruby and not once did I worry. Haven sent updates on Ruby’s daily activities and took excellent care of her. She was kind and very professional. I love knowing we have someone so capable who can come be with our fur baby. I will certainly call upon Haven in the future.
Aniyah was absolutely amazing with our puppy! I really can’t say enough good things. She gave us so much peace of mind during our first trip away from our little boy. He stayed with her for a week and was happy as can be. I received several updates including pictures and video every day. She was so communicative and I took so much comfort in knowing that he was well cared for and safe! We will definitely be using her service again. Your pup will be in great hands!
Lindsey cared for our mini Aussie for 7 days while we went on a trip. She was amazing with her. Took her on 3 walks a day, played with her around the house & kept her on the feeding schedule we asked for. Did everything we asked for and more. Also very responsive & sent text & picture updates throughout the day. She also cleaned out home the day of our arrival so it was amazing getting home to a clean house. Thank you so much Lindsey! 💕

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 Cannon 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 Cannon 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cannon 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.
