“We could not have been happier with Kayla! My wife and I took an international trip for more than a week and entrusted Kayla with both our home and our two large dogs, Ragnar and Rollo. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving everything in her care. Kayla was friendly, professional, communicative, and incredibly attentive to detail. She clearly loves dogs, and it showed in every interaction. We especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent, including some wonderful pictures of her playing with Ragnar and Rollo, making sure they got plenty of exercise, attention, and, of course, belly rubs. When you’re traveling overseas, peace of mind is priceless, and Kayla gave us exactly that. We never worried about the dogs or the house because we knew they were in capable hands. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely book Kayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Ragnar and Rollo clearly loved their time with her, and so did we.”
“My dog sitter had an issue the day before. Mary stepped in last minute and saved the day! She took incredible care of nefe and was so gracious to take such a short notice request. Absolutely recommend and will be booking her again! Thank you so much for everything!”
“Liz was absolutely wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was so patient, kind, and clearly experienced in working with dogs who are still adjusting to a new home. She took him on long walks, gave him lots of attention, and treated him like her own. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Amber! She was very responsive and quick to reply to any messages. She sent lots of wonderful pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and takes pride in her work. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Ciera was the kindest soul, very professional, communicative, extremely orderly and punctual and just by how our pups were when we returned home we can tell they were loved and treated well in our absence! Ciera is wonderful for drop-ins or for house sitting! We would trust her with either! We are grateful we found her and would love to hire her again without hesitation! Thank you a million times Ciera!❤️”
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“Mark is a fantastic sitter and the babies were very happy with him. He is very respectful of our home and was happy to accommodate all of our needs. He also communicated really well throughout the stay with photos and videos and everything looked even better than when he first arrived. We will definitely be booking him again!”
“McKinnon does a wonderful job dog sitting for our dogs and our home. She spends quality time with them and excellent care. I would highly recommend her to take care of your family pets.”
About: I grew up around large dogs and one extra sweet Pomeranian and I can handle dogs of any size and class I have experience wrangling anxious German shepherds during fireworks and thunder storms. I also have experience working with senior dogs, including grooming and administering medications in different forms. I’m a dog person without a dog but I would love to help you and your four-legged friend(s) have a great, stress-free life. I work full-time but my job is hybrid so I do have some flexibility around lunchtime. Late afternoon, nights, and weekends are also fully available! With me, your dog won’t be in an open space without a leash, gates and doors will be closed, and potentially hazardous foods and materials will be out of reach. I’ve handled anxious and reactive dogs in the past and know the signs and behaviors of a stressed or otherwise overstimulated dog.
“We could not be happier with the care our pets received! Taking care of four animals is no small task, and she handled everything with so much love, responsibility, and attention to detail. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—and that peace of mind continued the entire time we were away. She made sure every pet was comfortable, well cared for, and loved, treating them as if they were her own. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and it was clear she truly understands animals and their individual needs. Coming home to happy, calm pets says everything. We are beyond grateful and would 100% trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional pet sitter!”
“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”
“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I grew up with dogs and currently have 7 cats of my own (including 2 foster babies), so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve also bottle fed kittens and cared for rescue animals, so I’m very comfortable with pets that need extra patience, attention, or a gentle approach. I know leaving your pets with someone new can feel stressful, I feel the same way with my own. I take that trust seriously and will always treat your pets like family while you’re away. I’m very patient, dependable, and love building trust with every pet I care for. I also make it a priority to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re gone! I work full-time Tuesday through Friday, but I’m very flexible outside of work hours and have open availability Saturdays through Mondays. I’m able to make plenty of time for your pets and can work around their routines to make sure they receive the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to. Whether that’s morning visits, evening drop-ins, or weekend care, I’m happy to help! I care for pets in their home by keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and playtime while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they love attention or prefer a little extra space. I treat every pet like my own, every home with respect, and always provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Kayleigh was fantastic! She was very communicative and super easy to work with. She was friendly and took great care of our boys. She comforted them through a surprise fireworks show in the neighborhood that otherwise would have been traumatic if they were left alone. She made our night out even better knowing our extended four legged family was well taken care of. Highly recommend and will definitely use her care again in the future!”
“Above Excellent!!! Finding someone you trust with your dogs is not easy, but this sitter exceeded every expectation. From the first interaction, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. It was obvious that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like family. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, and photos; which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs looked super happy, relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. The sitter went above and beyond to accommodate my dog’s routine and medication needs, and their attention to detail was exceptional. It’s rare to find someone who combines reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals so naturally. They went on car rides, dog park, downtown Canton, and even her grandma's house!!! I was worried about having someone watch them and I'm so glad it was her!! I would not hesitate to use her services again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Five stars are not enough.”
“Kaylan was fantastic house sitting and watching over my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of my energetic dogs and followed all my pet instructions. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. And my house was tidy on my return. Definitely will be using Kaylan again!”

Keri did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was professional, reliable, and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear our cats were well cared for and comfortable in her care. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
We had a fantastic experience with Deven! She was incredibly meticulous and caring, she making sure every detail of the routine was followed perfectly. What really stood out was her genuine nature, you can tell she has a soft heart and love for animals. She provided pictures and updates along the way, and it might be safe to say our dog looked disappointed when we got home! We would absolutely book her again, she is a true gem!
Kristen P. is fantastic! She knows what she's doing - how to tend to the needs of pets with different personalities and requirements. We just moved to Georgia with our 5 dogs but had to return to the west coast to pack up our house. So our dogs were in a new environment and did not have us around to feel secure. Rover provided many options for us and Kristen P. was the perfect sitter for us. She provided that secure feeling for our dogs in their new home while we were away. She provided photos and daily updates of the dogs' progress. Kristen P. is perfect in our home and with our animals and we will definitely call on her again. Thank you Kristen P.!!!
This was our first time using this app, and our first time using a dog sitter we didn't already know beforehand. We felt very comfortable using Dastin and he was great with our two pups! Very respectful, stayed in touch, and even sent pictures of our boys throughout his stay. 10/10 recommend and definitely plan on using him again!
We absolutely loved having Ashtyn care for our house and dogs while we were away! We had unexpected health concerns for one of our dogs who needed medications and more care and Ashtyn accepted and provided that care without question. She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing throughout our trip! And she left our home clean and tidy! We can’t say enough great things about her and will certainly request that she house sit again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Canton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Canton on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 3,801 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canton. 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 Canton 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 Canton 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 Canton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canton. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
