“Alicia was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute cancelation from a previous sitter and Alicia was happy to step in. She kept in communication with me. She took photos and my dogs absolutely loved her. They were extremely comfortable with her from the start. She even washed the bedding and cleaned. I highly recommend her and I will be using her services again.”
“This is the fourth time Laurie has pet sit for us, and as always, I am so grateful to have her! She loves the dogs so much and always leaves the house spotless. This time she even left us homemade soup!”
“Abigail is the best! We’ve had her stay at our house with our dogs a few times now. She’s always quick to respond, asks the right questions, is a courteous house guest, and most importantly gets along splendidly with our dogs! We highly recommend Abigail.”
“Kat is the BEST!!! Our dog and cat adore this sitter. Kat sent pictures daily of the animals. Very grateful to have found this super reliable animal lover. After being gone for a week, didn't feel stressed at all leaving our home and pets.”
“Rebecca was great with my little Lily. She’s 15 weeks old and quite the handful. Rebecca is a great communicator and arrived on time. I will definitely be rebooking with Rebecca. We are truly blessed to have found her.”
“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”
“Grace is the simply the best! I completely trusted her with our dog Millie, which is HUGE! Grace had great communication with me, I got daily updates and I even came home to printed out pictures of Millie. I didn't worry once about how well millie was being taken care of which was such a relief. 100% recommended Grace”
“Chad is wonderful. I had a sitter cancel four days prior to my departure. i was panicked. I found Chad by expanding my geography of listings and I'm SO happy I did. He is extremely competent, reliable, punctual and literally goes the extra mile (driving halfway across the state) to sit for me. My animals were well cared for, so much so that my dog didn't even get off his couch when I came home. Chad is communicative, sending pictures daily and asking questions if necessary. But not in an intrusive way. I have four cats, one of whom is on medication and sometimes on the needy side, and a big dog. Chad was pure care and kindness. I can't thank him enough. You will do well if you're fortunate to grab him for your furry family.”
“I cannot speak highly enough about Savanah! She was such a good friend to our pups that they forgot to miss us. Savanah sent tons of update and pics so we got to enjoy our trip and not worry about things at home. Hope to book her again and again and again.”
About: I have had animals my whole life, and have worked in the pet industry for 6 years. My day job experience has been at 2 different local pet food stores, where I’ve learned a lot about the needs of dogs and cats, as well as body language. My old job had foster cats, so I have experience taking care of up to 10 cats at a time (feeding, litter cleaning, meds, and playtime). I also have pet sat for many of my friends and family members. I love walking! I enjoy taking my own dog on short walks or really long walks to get his energy out. I have experience with high energy dogs that may pull or not be comfortable around other dogs or people. I also have experience with puppies and kittens, and special needs pets. I’ve owned 2 disabled dogs that required diaper changes, meds, and regular bathing and cleaning up after them. I am currently going to school full time at UNM. My schedule is pretty flexible though, and I am willing to work with you! I can come before, in between, or after class and on weekends! I will always want to come meet you and your pet before I start the service. I will take notes on everything so I can keep your pet on their routine, no matter how specific. I want to make you and your pet 100% comfortable! I am experienced with reading body language with pets, so I can tell if your pet is too overwhelmed or nervous. I also love sending updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how your fur baby is doing!
About: I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats from my time as an Animal Handler at an animal shelter. I’m skilled in feeding, walking, enrichment, and recognizing animal behavior, and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and dependable care. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With a part-time work schedule, I have the availability and flexibility to prioritize pet care in my daily routine. This allows me to be attentive to pets’ needs, maintain routines, and provide dependable care and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are very important to me when caring for pets. With animal handling training from working at an animal shelter, I’m skilled at reading body language and recognizing stress or behavioral cues. I take a calm, patient approach to help pets feel safe, build trust, and maintain a clean, positive environment where they can relax and feel cared for.
“Syanne did an amazing job taking care of our 3 fur babies. She was so patient with them and won them over easily. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were receiving great care. Syanne was always available and gave updates while we were away. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Rita. She’s attentive, responsive, reliable, all good things. She’s the best! Thank you, Rita, for taking such great care of our dogs.”
“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”
“Jessica was great with our two pups! She followed all instructions including feeding and meds, and the house was left immaculately. I would definitely have her babysit again.”
“Kat did a terrific job watching our dog and cat while we went out of town for a week! We got lots of cute pictures and updates and came home to happy pets and a clean house. We will definitely be booking Kat again in the future.”
About: I've cared for dozens of different breeds of dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and ages since I was old enough to walk. I am reliable, respectful, and extremely caring and considerate. I will treat your pet like one of my own- with all of the care and attention they deserve! I’m self-employed so I have a flexible schedule. You can depend on me to be there for you and your pet(s), even at the last minute. Thought I’m unable to care for your pets in my own home, I am familiar with several parks and trails in the area suitable for walking and playing. When I am in someone else’s home, I am always very respectful. Happy to provide references.

FAQs for House Sitting - Canon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 268 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canon. 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 Canon 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 Canon 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 Canon 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.
