“Shelia has been a great sitter for our dog Bailey. She’s always on time, professional, and spends so much time with her. I would highly recommend Shelia especially if you have a dog that likes attention.”
About: I have been the first choice of many friends and family to care for their pets. Both in my home and in theirs. Just for an afternoon, for an entire vacation, and in sudden emergencies. I have two dogs and five cats, as well as a hobby bird farm. Lots of smells and cuddles to be had. I also am happy to stay in your home and care for your pet in their own comfort zone. My work is remote, and as long as you have wi-fi, I'm set up to be productive. I've cared for very old and too young rescues for both dogs and cats, including medication and funky feeding schedules. I've even helped socialize shy rescues and help normalize healthy potty habits. I work full time fully remote, with limited travel. I always keep my calendar up to date with availability and obligations. I live in a rural area, so stay overs are preferred over drop ins, just because of travel time. The pets come first! They rely on us for everything, so I'm always keeping an eye open for their needs. Sometimes it's a potty break, dinner, or their own space. We have an extra-large kennel we keep set up in the event someone needs it, and a small one we set up if someone needs a more enclosed space for comfort and safety. I love getting pictures of my cats when we leave on a trip, so I always reciprocate when I'm pet sitting for someone else. You will always know your pup is getting tummy rubs, or your Guinea pigs are getting their veggies at dinner time.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, so I really understand their social cues (ie. if they're nervous, scared, or on alert), and I am able to easily remove them from uncomfortable situations. I could spend all day every day with dogs. If your dog is with me, you can rest assured that I will love them and treat them as if they were my own. Of course you are your dog's best friend, but I will be their other one. They won't just go on a walk with me; they will receive love, attention, those oh-so-adored behind-the-ear scratches, and probably some kisses, too. There has never been a dog I don't love, and I have never met a dog that doesn't love me back. I am currently transitioning out of my fully remote job to be a full time pet care provider. Animals are my passion and to work with them full time is my dream. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own home, so when possible, I am more than happy to go to your home. If a pet needs to come to my house, I have two cats, so I would keep them separated from them as much as possible. I have a fenced in yard on one acre, so plenty of space for them to run around and play. I believe that our pets are our babies and I allow animals on my furniture and in my bed. I do have a large crate, though, if you prefer a dog to sleep in a crate at night. It is my goal to make every animal feel safe and loved and I promise that your pet will be treated like family
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and have loved animals my whole life. I have an Australian Shepherd and a Mini Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience with puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs of all sizes. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or a consistent routine, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to build Rover into my full-time career while I return to nursing school, so providing exceptional pet care is something I’m truly passionate about. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s needs. I also live with my parents, which allows me to stay overnight for house sitting when needed. You’ll always receive regular updates, photos, and plenty of peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. My goal is to grow Rover into my full-time career while I return to nursing school, so I have a flexible schedule and will always do my best to accommodate your needs. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, weekends, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m happy to work with you whenever possible. My own dogs are a huge part of my life, and I’d love to give your pets the same care, attention, and love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. I have an Australian Shepherd and a Mini Goldendoodle who are friendly and well-socialized, but I always introduce dogs slowly and safely. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate them or crate them if requested. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Emily is so great!!! She stayed with our babies while we were on vacation and took such good care of them! It’s so nice to not have to worry about leaving our babies while we are on vacation!”
“Michaela is incredible!! So grateful for her thoughtfulness and intentionality when watching my pup. She was so responsive and kind. I felt completely at ease having her stay at my house while I was out of the country! She is the top of my list to watch my dog. Thankful for her!”
“Savannah is very responsive before coming to the home and during the time she stayed with my pups. She is a sweet person and we can tell she loves animals. She drove one hour out of her way just to help me out while being away from our fur babies. She is very dedicated and we are very proud to have her watch our fur babies. If I come to this area again, I will be using Savannah.”
“Hannah did a awesome job! She took great care of my dogs! I came home to a clean apartment and happy, healthy dogs... that honestly didn't seem to miss me too much, HAHA. She sent me pictures of my sweet boys and even responded to a late night text from me when I was worried about my old boys being stressed. She completely understood and ran back over to my house to check up on them even though she had just left them a couple hours earlier. She even took the time to feed them and let them out right before I got home so they would be taken care of and I would be able to relax and just enjoy being with them. I have already sent in a request for her to watch my dogs again! Hannah is awesome!”

This was our second time using this app and we can’t say enough good things about Claiborne! She was wonderful! Followed our instructions to the letter and was always on time, updated us frequently and made us feel very comfortable leaving our girls (pups) in her care! The dogs loved her from the first meeting and we will definitely be using her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
