About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, from Great Danes and Mastiffs, to chihuahuas and Teacup poodles. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior with special care requirements, I know how to meet them where they are—with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m confident handling medications, monitoring health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. And yes, I’m fluent in belly rubs, leash manners, and the art of a good treat toss. My training as a veterinary technician adds another layer of confidence and skill. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring subtle health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. Whether your dog needs special care or just a gentle presence while you're away, I offer both professional know-how and genuine affection. Im currently working part time from home, so I will have PLENTY of time to check in on your babies. I’m attuned to their moods, their health, and their quirks—whether it’s a sudden burst of zoomies or a subtle shift in appetite. Throughout the week, I build in time for deep-cleaning, play therapy, and medication routines when needed. I approach each task with intention and honor, recognizing how much trust goes into watching your home and pets. Clean water bowls, fresh bedding, and a tidy environment aren’t just details—they’re part of how I show love. I take pride in creating a space where dogs feel safe, soothed, and seen.
About: While I do not currently own a dog, I have had dogs since I was 4, and been responsible for them since around 12. I know how to read their body language and engage with them in ways that respect their needs and boundaries! I have over 100 hours of vet internships! While it is now lapsed I also had an AVA designation, and it's only lapsed because I've been focused on a degree in wildlife biology at school. Around the age of 16 I took over complete care of my dogs, including my elderly dog. I brought them to their first vet appointments, payed their vet bills, made important decisions regarding surgery and care, and insured their food was good quality. I can give medication and take temperature on both dogs and cats. I have lots of experience In reading body language and know when to step away and when to engage. I also have extensive experience in reptile care! Overall I'm responsible, engaged, and respectful of both my pets and others pets. I take health very seriously and can follow instructions to a T. I am currently attending Murray State University and am looking to bolster my income while enjoying all the perks of caring for animals! It isn't all about the money. I do genuinely adore visiting and connecting to pets and I know the struggle it can be to find someone you trust to leave your pet to! I'm hear to be a trustworthy adult you can rely on. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your little one alone as a pet owner myself. I have to travel often for boat races as I'm on my schools rowing team, and I don't know what I would do without my closest friends! I'm here for you and your pet, always! Currently I have one pet, my cat bandit. He's my first pet as an adult and I did all the research, adopting processes, and recourse gathering myself! He's fed on a 3 meal cycle throughout the day and his food is based on extensive research into a cats dietary needs and restrictions. I am very strict about his treatment. His boundaries are to always be respected and he's always handled with care! Absolutely no throwing/tossing him, no hitting, no shoving. If he doesn't want to be held he doesn't get held, if he wants space he gets space. He's the king of our castle. Others pets are shown this same level of respect from me. I take feeding guidelines very seriously and understand the importance of play and stimulation In keeping a critter happy and healthy.
About: I used to be a military police dog handler for a long time so I have great experience with dogs. I am a person who genuinely cares about animals. Ever since I was little I’ve had a dog there for me in my life. I treat every animal with care and respect! Your dog will be in great hands when booked with me! Right now I am on leave for quite a while so everyday any day will work for me. I will be around the dog 24/7 and make sure they are happy and taken great care of. I have a fenced back yard and a fenced play area in the basement where dogs can run around and play without getting too hot because outside in the hot sun all day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 123 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Canton. 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.

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.
