“Kayla was absolutely incredible with our pups. She made the effort to learn them individually and love on them as if they were her own. We always have such a hard time leaving our pups, especially since they are high energy and big lovers, but we felt so confident in Kayla, as she kept us updated, sent us daily pictures of their cuddle sessions, and just took the very best care of them and the house. I 100% would recommend her to anyone!!”
About: 26 yr Bridgemill Resident: To me our pets are a cherished part our family. I will always love being a dog and cat dad. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young kid. I am a 26 year Bridgemill resident, retired, that has pet sitter for many of my neighbors and friends. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats ourselves now and each has their own personality and needs and wants. You will find I am a very experienced in dog and cat care as well as other types of pets. To help the dog or cat mom, I always take pictures of your furry family member and send them to you while you are away. I can provide references if needed. I am currently retired and stay active with our pets daily with walks, camping trips and, playtime. Our dogs love camping. Miss Kitty and Kai are our cats and they will aways want the same or more time spent with them as with the dogs. The cats make sure we know this. Also still pet sitting for our neighbors and friends. My dogs have a fenced in yard, get their nightly walk to their favorite sniff spots. Our pets all get along and sometimes play with each other. I will always make sure to take multiple pictures of your pets and send them to you to keep up with their unique activities and to help you stay connected with them. I know you miss them as much as they miss you when you are gone, even if its only a trip to the grocery store.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Avary did a great job watching over our pets while we were out of town for about a week. Her communication was prompt, she sent lots of pics of our cat and dog, and we look forward to using her again for our pet/house sitting needs in the future!”
“Susane is an absolute jewel. I got daily pictures. Meggy was consistently spoiled: given massages and walks daily, cuddled and snuggled throughout the day and night. When we got back, Meggy is almost disappointed because she’s not getting showered with constant love all day, every single minute. Very highly recommended Susane if you want someone that is going to love your pet as their own pet.”
“Mollie was such a great overnight sitter for Maggie and Milo. She did great with checking in and was very responsible to our house. The dogs loved having a companion while we were away on vacation. Mollie was punctual with the dogs medicines and made sure they were well taken care of. While we were away Mollie took them to the dog park and gave them lots of cuddles as if they were her own. Mollie is a fantastic sitter and would so lucky to have her back again.”
About: Hi, my name is Madeline and I’m a 20 year old Kennesaw State University student based in the Canton area with over seven years of pet sitting experience. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all sizes, as well as birds, fish, bunnies and reptiles. I’m comfortable with pets of all temperaments and have experience with senior animals, pets with medical conditions and administering medications. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structured walks, playtime, or specialized care, I’m happy to provide it. I offer overnight stays, and I have reliable transportation so I’m willing to travel outside of Canton as well. I have three cats and one dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I have strong references available and pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a very flexible schedule, reliable transportation, and am happy to travel around Canton and nearby areas. I am a full time student but I am mostly online and am not on campus for more than 2 hours. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I stick closely to their normal routines and follow any instructions you leave so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure they’re getting plenty of care and attention. I also like to do a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone feels comfortable.
“Catie is the best. She took very good care of our dogs while we wee away in Colorado. Will come at the last minute and meet any request. Will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend for any out of town trips or long days at the office.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for 30 years. I have owned several and at one point had 7 pets (2 dogs, 3 cats, a chinchilla, and a newt) while my kids were little. I am mostly retired and so I just hang around the house mostly. I have some medical appointments I’d have to leave the house for if house sitting but can likely reschedule if needed! I have a fenced in yard and a loving and happy 3 year old dog named Kobe. I have a crate inside if needed. Our basement has a mudroom with a doggy door to the backyard so they are never left outside. Dogs sleep with me if wanted! I also am caring for my daughter’s cat while she is on a trip volunteering, but he gets along with cats, people, dogs, and does not scratch or bite. :
“Abby did an amazing job! She is prompt with her responses and is an excellent communicator. She kept us updated with our dogs and our home and even helped troubleshoot our AC after a brief power outage. She was patient and understanding through it all! She took excellent care of our home and left it cleaner than we left it haha. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Tracy was great. She came to meet pets, was thoughtful to review and follow my notes, arrived on time, communicated very well during her time here and sent photos. She left our home neat and tidy. We have already booked her again.”
“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”
“Leah is absolutely amazing!! She is so kind and very thoughtful. She took such great care of our pets and our house while we were gone. 100% plan on rebooking with her for our next trip!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house. So I learned the basics of feeding, grooming, walking , and training from an early age. As I got older. I naturally became the go-to dog sitter for neighbors and friends in the community. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping a dog company while their owners were away, I’ve always enjoyed making a dog comfortable while I was watching them. Currently, I have my own dog (Milo) who is 2yrs old. I have gained experience in giving my dog a happy and healthy life. It’s never been a chore to me - it’s something I take joy in. I’m currently working full time through the week. I am available for boarding on Fridays after 5:30pm and through the weekends, so I will have plenty of time for fun with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard. I have 2 dogs (Milo and Maggie Mae) that can keep your fur babies company. There is a park near by for walking and fun!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about nine or 10 years old, less in the caregiver since until I was an adult, I now have two dogs and love them dearly. I also enjoy working for Wag!, which I have worked for almost 10 years on and off with a perfect five star rating in many many great reviews. my daily routine includes taking care of a my older dogs, and my cat. I include them in all my plans to make sure they are always taken care of. I always consider them as an extension of the family and their needs are always my priority. I tried to tackle things head on and make sure that their needs are met before my own.
“Stevie stayed in my home with Miley and Parker for four days and took incredible care of both of them. She made sure they received all of their medications, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave them so much love and attention. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs and a house that was just as I left it. Knowing they were so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'll be booking Stevie every chance I get... so get in line! 😊”

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!
Amethyst was a huge help for us - stepping up when our other sitter had to cancel on short notice. She took great care of the pups while we were gone. We got several updates throughout the day, along with several pictures of the kiddos. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Canton is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
