“Our 130# Newfoundland and cat were well taken care of. Communication was great, even using a different app since we were in Europe. Would not hesitate to use Charlotte again, she cared for our animals like they were hers.”
“Second time using Haley and she’s so great with my needy pup, Pax. She sent me pics every day, my house was left perfectly clean and she was extremely communicative. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Megan is the best. I never have to worry about leaving my baby girl thanks to her. Megan always takes such great care of her and sends me updates consistently. Highly recommend her!”
“Our pups LOVE Reina. She took wonderful care of them and made them feel comfortable while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a super clean home! We will be using her again, JJ”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since high school! I am comfortable and familiar with multiple pets at once and even some more eclectic animals like reptiles (turtles and snakes). I would only be able to come to your house to pet sit or walk, I would not be able to bring pets to my apt. I would only be able to pet sit in your home as I live in an apartment where I am unable to bring animals into my space.
About: I grew up on a farm and I've been taking care of cats, dogs, chickens, and many other animals since the age of seven. Animals love and trust me. Attending the needs of your fur babies is my fulltime gig! I'm available anytime of the day or week to provide care for your pets! I always aim to respect your preferences and rules when caring for your animals while in your home. I am very responsive and will always answer your texts and calls in a timely manner. Whenever I have any kind of question about your pets needs, I won't hesitate to reach out to you.
About: (Formerly Kamp Kelley) I have been fostering small dogs for a rescue group in No. VA. for the last 9 years (my aching back doesn’t allow me to work with dogs larger than 20 lbs)--prior to that I fostered cats and kittens. I has experience with many types of small dogs—especially Shih Tzu’s and Llasa Apso’s, but also Yorkshire Terriers, Basset Hounds, Pom's, Toy Poodles, etc. My expertise is in rescuing and caring for senior and special need dogs. Since I have a dog-friendly house and a large-fenced yard (1/4 acre) for them to run and play in, I decided to become a dog-sitter 5 years ago. I believe in loving and treating your fur-baby like my own! We keep her home and yard dog proof so your little angel will be in a safe, relaxed, dog-friendly, and loving environment! Because I am retired, my schedule is very flexible. I'm retired and except for occasional trips to the store, bi-weekly Bridge games. monthly book group and a occasional meeting, I'm home ALL THE TIME. At this point, I am accepting only ONE dog at a time EXCEPT if there are 2 dogs from the same household. Same for cats. I have a large, fenced yard that can be separated off. I have lots of dog equipment. For example large crates if your dog is used to being crated, bowls, beds and cushions, a big bed for them to share with me, jackets, leashes, kongs and lots of love and affection. Same for cats--EXCEPT, I let them out only on the back deck (enclosed).
“Mackenzie stayed with my two dogs and two cats overnight. The whole crew is used to my being around a lot so I knew I needed someone to stay here. I came home to happy animals who didn’t seem to miss me at all! I will definitely use her again.”
“Julia is wonderful with our cat! We always know he is in good hands. When we come home, it's like we never left. Julia always keeps us up to date with photos and videos which is really nice when we're missing him. Thanks so much!”
“Kathy watched our dog and housesat for us for an entire week. She communicated with us the entire time and sent photos and videos. She kept the house spotless and made sure to bring in the mail every day. We were never worried about our puppy or the house. Kathy was great and we can’t wait to book her again.”
“Drew house sat for my reactive pity mix and I will 100% hire him again. He responded promptly after my initial request, communicated clearly his availability, showed up on time, treated my house as his own, kept me informed throughout his stay with pictures, left my house exactly as I left it. Drew understands dogs needs and the needs of pet parents.”
“Natalie is everything I was hoping to find in a dog sitter, and then some! She is trustworthy, compassionate, dependable, kindhearted, caring, and overall just a wonderful person to work with. From the moment we had our meet and greet, I just knew I found THE perfect person that I instantly trusted to take care of my dog in my home. She takes the time to get to know you and your pet, and even organizes all of the information into a detailed “cheat sheet” about your pet! She is now my go-to person for any future pet sitting needs!”
About: My family has had 2 dogs since I was 10 and two cats since I was 14 which I took part in caring for. Four years ago I also got a cat of my own! I have been fortunate enough to also care for pets from different friends and families while they’ve been away! So, I have a lot of experience feeding, playing, cleaning up after and caring for cats and dogs of all different breeds! I am currently in PA school so I have class from 9-5 Monday through Friday but I am free to help before and after school and on the weekends! I am great at following any directions from you to ensure that your pet is safe with me! You let me know what standards and precautions you follow and prefer and I will always abide by them!
“Thank you so much! Darian was great with the pups and took care of both them and our house with the utmost care. She was also very responsive and really helped out us out of a jam, our sitter cancelled at the last minute and she stepped up and made it work!”
“Victoria stayed in our home to take care of our dog Mika. She was very conscientious and respectful of place and took great care of Mika. Victoria spent most of the day with Mika so she wasn’t alone. We returned to a very calm and relaxed pup. Victoria is a good communicator, anytime she had a question or concern she was quick to let me know. We won’t hesitate to use Victoria again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canterburg
Liliana did a great job with my 2 large breed dogs over the weekend. Our German Shepherd mix can be picky about who he likes and she did an amazing job introducing herself and handling him. It was nice to know I could take a trip and not be worried about how the dogs were doing.
Emily did great with our pack of 9! I was very impressed with how she won them over very quickly and didn’t seem phased by the number at all. Also really nice she provided lots of updates, I didn’t worry about them for one second! We are happy to have found a new dogsitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 634 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canterburg. 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 Canterburg 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 Canterburg 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 Canterburg 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.
