About: With 20 years of hands-on dog care experience, I’ve worked with breeds of every size, age, and temperament. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and pups. I provide attentive walks, feeding, medication administration, and lots of affection, treating every dog like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home full time, so I’m available on weekends during the day for walks and weekdays after 5:30pm, feeding, and check-ins. I also have two senior dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with age-related needs like mobility issues, medication schedules, and extra patience and care. In my own home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, and cozy spaces to rest—especially important since I have senior dogs myself who need a quiet, low-stress setting. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s normal routine, sticking to familiar feeding schedules, walk times, and resting spots.

About: Hello! I have always had dogs growing up and I always had to take care of them. You know, doggy walks, taking the dogs for a potty break and feeding them. That didnt stop and continued throughout college since I helped my wife to take care of her foster doggies! We will take turns between weeks. We had an incredible experience since these dogs were able to get adopted. We recently lost our dog, Tucker at 12 years old and we’re not ready for another dog yet, but have a great home with a great big fenced in backyard, plus close to baseball fields from an elementary school and a great neighborhood for walks.

About: Hi! I’m Sharyll, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Back in Nicaragua, I volunteered at Lucito Shelter, where I helped rescue, feed, and care for animals in need — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of earning every pet’s trust. Currently, I work at PetSuites, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I handle feedings, playtime, walks, and comfort for both dogs and cats every day. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my professional experience in a structured pet care environment. Whether your pet needs active playtime, gentle walks, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like at home. ❤️ I’m available 2–3 days a week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust depending on your needs — whether it’s daily walks, weekend care, or occasional visits. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before starting. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. I make sure doors and gates are secure during visits, use leashes properly for walks, and keep pets supervised at all times. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — just like when you’re home. ❤️

About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊

“We have used Leigh twice in a row now for checkins on our senior cat, Dori. It was a longer than usual trip out of town, and Dori has some special dietary needs, so I was a bit worried about her, but Leigh took good care of her and kept her entertained! Lots of playing and cuddles, which Dori loved. Leigh also has great communication and seems to really care about the pets she’s watching, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you Leigh!”

Madison from the moment I first spoke with her showed intent interest in making sure to try to get to know and understand my dog as best as she could. She has an innate talent and comfort around animals and was able to get my boy to trust her within minutes of them first meeting. She always took the time to make sure he was cared for and looked after and always went above and beyond to make sure he was always looked after. I will always feel comfortable having her look after my dog and am confident any pet in her care is in good hands.

Alexis is a delight. I have 2 shy kitties. One is especially shy and rarely comes out when strangers are around. Both kitties warmed up to Alexis and came around for her visits. This is a major break through for my especially shy kitty. I had multiple deliveries during the time Alexis was taking care of my furbabies. All deliveries should have arrived before my departure but were delayed. Alexis brought each delivery in for me. Thank you, Alexis, for your kindness and thank you for caring for Poppy and Penny. Great job!

Logan did an awesome job with our drop-in visit for Holly! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of her while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Logan followed instructions perfectly and made sure Holly was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Canova

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Canova is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 13,078 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Canova. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canova. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
