About: Hello! I have taken care of my own, family, and friends' animals for over 10 years and those in community going on three years. I've worked with most breeds and ages. Size does not matter whether your best friend is 5Ibs or 150Ibs! I have a flexible schedule and can work with you on times. Whether it's walking, daily visits and feeding or all of the above I'm happy to help. I have experience with senior dogs and their sometimes more complex needs, including medical. I work from home and as a result have a flexible schedule. I take time out of my day regularily to walk, play and be with our dogs and yours, it's a great way for me to break up my day and get to know the great dogs in the community. When caring for your pets I take great care to be respectful of your space, only going where I need to for your animals. I make a point to clean any pet mess and ensure they are secure before leaving.
“We HIGHLY recommend Lily for any of your pet needs. She was prompt and professional, and she gave our good boys all of her attention while she was in our home. We will definitely be calling her again soon! Thank you Lily!”
“Kristen has been amazing with my animals. She always keeps me updated when she visits and you can tell by the pictures she truly cares for my animals. She is my go to girl when I need help!”
“It was a very nice meeting Lani. She was on time, very cordial, definitely had a rapport with our Berniedoodle, Sophie, who lay right by her feet. We all spent time together so she could get to know our Sophie. We all look forward to having her back very soon. Thank you Lani.”
About: I have always been around dogs since I was a kid. Between my own, family members and neighbors, I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for many years and been able to adjust to each dog’s needs with no problem at all. I am great at tiring pups out with play or long walks or hanging with them if they are on the lazier side! I work part time in Concord so I’m looking to take care of dogs for fun and some extra cash! I am available differing days of the week depending on my schedule, but when I am free I will be able to tire out the pups with long walks or extended play sessions if they so desire! I will easily be able to navigate client homes and learn a dogs likes and dislikes quickly to make for a smooth and comfortable experience for the pups.
“This is our second booking with Megan for more than a two week vacation in a place where we did have consistent phone and WiFi services. We had such peace of mind that she could problem solve and resolve any unexpected issues on her own. This was certainly the case! We appreciate Megan’s consistency, dependability and fine communication skills. She followed our instructions, asked questions and shared specific observations about our cats and their care. She will be coming back to us to cover another long vacation in a few months and we are very confident in her care!”
“Autumn did an amazing job looking after Peppermint. She provided updates multiple times daily including photos and I could see how happy our puppy was to be out with her. She was very communicative and helped me out with an emergency last minute request. I would 1000% use Autumn again in the future.”
“Shelby is awesome. I’ve been using her services for almost 3 years now. My dogs know her and looks forward to drop in visits when I work long hours. She paid special attention to my little guy who seemed to hurt his leg recently. She’s like part of our pack now.”
About: I have a beautiful Siberian Husky who loves her walks. All pets deserve their time outside to sniff and stretch their paws. I will give your pet the fresh air and exercise they need (and maybe a treat or two) I work in education so I have the summers off. I enjoy nothing more than spending time in the fresh air with furry, four legged friends. I have experience working with the plethora of animals. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe. Prior to my first walk/house visit, I ask the client to give me a summary of command words, routines, and your own expectations of your pet and myself for an easy transition and happy experience for your pet.
“I am so grateful to Kate for taking care of my shy old Shel'ma! Kate is a great cat sitter, responsible and kind, following all recommendations and loving animals! It was a pleasure to work with Kate, I would not hesitate to ask her to take care of Shel'ma again.”
“Dawn was very sweet and professional. She took great care of our cat, Murphy. In addition to feeding and cleaning the litter box, she gave him lots of love and sent photos. We were very comfortable with Dawn and will absolutely ask her to take care of Murphy again when we go away for an extended period of time. 5 stars Dawn!!”
About: I've worked as a vet tech, dog kennel tech, and studied pre-veterninary/animal sciences while working multiple jobs with animals in college. I've had my dogs my whole life and have two of my own now. I've experienced excellent dog sitters for my own pups as well as not-so-great ones, so I'm happy to give your pups the love and care they need! I'm flexible with hours and days so I'm happy to work around your schedule. I have 2 dogs of my own so I know how important good care is, and I plan to treat your babies the same way I treat mine. I am available anytime via text or phone so I’m happy to provide you with updates or answer questions. I work a 9-5 but am home during the week much of the time. I can always plan to make plenty of time to visit your baby and give him or her lots of love! My pets are part of my family and I plan to treat yours with the same care and respect. I understand how scary it can sometimes be for pets to be home alone without their pet parents, and I plan to bring them comfort and attention with my visits.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canterbury
Megan does an awesome job communicating and problem solving. We never would have predicted that our kitten would lock himself in our bedroom without access to kitty litter. Megan saved the day by showing up early and placing weight to keep the door open! This did not happen again during our long absence. He was always so happy to see her!
Megan is an excellent communicator and problem solver. She goes above and beyond with her care of our cats. She contacted me anytime there was something unexpected happened and asked for advice. She handled a difficult situation with one of our aging cats and we are very grateful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Canterbury on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 840 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Canterbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Canterbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Canterbury. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
