“Sarah and Ben went above and beyond while watching our dog. He celebrated his birthday with them and they send us several pictures and spoiled him with treats. Great communication, easy pick up and drop off, and trust knowing our boy is in great hands.”
“Taylor genuinely exceeded my expectations from day one. She was incredibly attentive and consistently kept me updated with photos, activities, and observations about Draco’s behavior throughout his stay. She asked all the right questions, and it’s clear she takes pride in her work and genuinely enjoys what she does. Since she works from home, Draco received plenty of attention throughout the day. She took him on numerous walks, trips to the dog park, and little adventures that kept him active and engaged. Beyond that, Taylor is professional, personable, easygoing, and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing Draco was in her hands, which says a lot. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I think I just found Draco’s new go-to sitter, and I couldn’t be happier about it. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, keep you informed, and genuinely go above and beyond, Taylor is exactly who you want. I recommend her without hesitation and would trust her with Draco again in a heartbeat. She sets the standard for what a great sitter should be!”
“Boning was great with Maple - gave great updates on what they were up to, how she walked and ate, etc. Maple was spoiled by cuddles and a great fenced in yard. We would be happy to book with her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She took care of my two dogs for a week while I was away for work, and she was absolutely wonderful. She sent me photos and videos every day, keeping me updated on how my pups were doing, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. My dogs are like my children, and I felt completely confident leaving them in her care. I came home to two very content pups and a clean, well-cared-for home. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to take care of their pups! Thank you Julie!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“John and Sharon were great when watching my chihuahua ruby. Ruby is nervous around new people and takes some time to warm up and they were very patient with her, and even got her to feel comfortable enough for some playtime - which I consider quite the success over the course of only a day! I’m sure ruby will be back to visit again soon.”
“Tina gets along very well with dogs. She constantly sends us pictures showing what Roxy is up to. Roxy seemed to like Tina and looked happy. Next time, I will leave Roxy with Tina again.”
About: Love all types of animals especially dogs and cats . Animals of any size is great! I have had multiple dogs and cats throughout my childhood/ adulthood. No better way to get back into shape than walking animals and or caring for the fur friends while their humans are working or playing ! Available Any day of the week most weekdays after 3 pm and on special occasions before work at 8 am. Weekends I am completely free and would be available whenever . ! Let me know if any questions ! I currently work 8:45 am - 4:30 pm and free on weekends ! Available anytime before or after work. I love on weekends waking up and going to the park or going for a nice walk and enjoying the weather I can crate your dog if needed and keep a close eye on them if they are out in the yard . Keeping them on leash when out for a walk and keeping them safe
“She was very accommodating and responsive. I had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate Nala and took good care of her. Thank you! Will definitely be using her again.”
“Wendy and her family took excellent care of my dog Bella. Prior to boarding, Wendy was very thorough in asking questions to understand Bella’s needs and quirks to make sure she would feel at home in Wendy’s house. Wendy provided photo updates and was extremely responsive throughout the stay. Never a doubt Bella wasn’t being treated like a member of Wendy’s family.”
“Kevin was a great host for our pup Skylar while we were away for the weekend. He was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures, which we love. Skylar also needs some special care (daily meds and frequent walks) and Kevin was very accommodating. We would definitely use Kevin again.”
“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”
“Richard was super responsive with our last minute booking request. Our dogs had a wonderful time and came home exhausted (in the best way possible!). We would definitely recommend Richard and look forward to the opportunity to use him again!”
“Connie was great - communicative, accommodating and so sweet. Honey had a great time with her and her two pups. She loved the huge fenced in yard and we loved getting pictures and updates during her stay.”

Our dog just had a wonderful stay with Maria and John! They are very caring people who immediately welcomed Fenway into their home. I was most impressed with their communication while we were away, and with their focus on Fenway’s safety when he was being watched by them!
Isabella is a wonderful sitter!! We went away for 5 days and left Orion in the care of Isabella and her family. Orion seemed very happy and relaxed with his playmate, Ozzie, and stayed active with walks. Isabella took great care of him. She sent pics everyday and is very responsive. We were grateful for the updates and felt reassured he was in great hands. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their dog.
Jack just stayed with Gabriella for the first time and I couldn't be more grateful for how good she was with him! Jack has separation anxiety and gets nervous meeting new people and being away from me. Heck, I get anxious too, but Gabriella and her boyfriend made us both feel completely at ease. Jack had 25/7 company and was given accommodations to ensure he was comfortable. I was given plenty of updates on how he was doing and he seemed to be enjoying his time the whole visit with lots of play time and affection. Upon bringing him home I could just tell how content he was with his stay. He wasn't overly anxious to see me which is amazing in comparison to other times he's stayed away from home. I felt completely confident he was in safe and loving hands the entire visit and would absolutely go to Gabriella in the future for pet sitting needs. Thanks again so much for taking such great care of my little guy!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Canton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Canton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Canton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Canton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
