About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I have experience with puppies (basic training, potty routines, and high-energy play) as well as senior pets who require patience, gentle handling, and medication support. I’m detail-oriented, great with routines, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I also keep owners updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you always feel at ease while you’re away Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m very organized and consistent with my schedule. I’m able to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s daily visits or weekly care, I prioritize reliability and make sure pets stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, playtime, walks (if needed), and cleaning. I make sure they feel comfortable and get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I also respect the home, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease.
About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.

About: I have always had animals and I’ve been watching my friends and family’s pets for over 10 years. I have experience with every size dog from French Bulldogs to Great Danes. I’ve taken a break from corporate life and am available any day to hang out, walk, feed, play, cuddle, or just about anything your pet needs. I will visit your pet anytime of day or night to make sure they are happy, healthy and well taken care of. If it’s just a ten minute drop in, an hour walk, adventure to the dog park or an overnight, my goal is to make your pet happy and comfortable.
“Isabell is great! She came over to let Lyra out while we were gone for the day. Her communication before and during the visit were perfect. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”

About: My name is Alani. I currently work at the Animal Rescue League of Boston as an Animal Care worker, and I am also a student studying Public Health. Before my current position at the shelter, my animal experience came from volunteering at various rescues in Massachusetts and Baton Rouge. Through those opportunities, I was able to gain experience working with dogs and cats of varying sizes, breeds, and temperaments. At the ARL, my experience with companion animals has grown significantly and my skills center on force free, low stress care, positive reinforcement training, animal body language, medication administration and advocacy. Mon, Wed & Fri: Morning, Afternoon after 2 Evening Tues & Thurs: Evenings Please reach out if you need help during these times or have any questions! I will make sure to stick to your pet's routine and create a stress-free environment while you're away. I'm happy to follow any instructions you have to keep your pet comfortable and happy. My goal is to be attentive to your pet's needs and body language to make sure their needs are met with care and timeliness. I can also keep you updated with regular messages. I love taking cute photos of your pets, so you'll always know how they're doing.

I also am very careful about diet - have experience dealing with dogs w/sensitive stomachs or allergies so you can trust your dog’s feeding needs with me. Also have experience working with dogs who have special needs, including deaf and blind.
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
“We use Holly nearly every time we go away and she’s always reliable! She goes the extra mile to make sure the cats are cared for and does an amazing job tidying up the cat food trash and litter. Thank you Holly!!”

“Juliette is everything we needed - friendly, responsive, on time, caring to our fur baby, and communicative. She also took some of the best pictures of Chessie we've ever seen! It was fun to see the pics every day. We had peace of mind when we were away and are looking forward to having her cat sit again.”

About: When I was 13, my family and I adopted our first dog who came with a rife set of challenges from biting to aggression to anti-social behavior. Over 10 years later, our problematic puppy has become the grumpy yet lovable old dog that he is through intensive training, love, and (lots of) patience. Having taken care of such a pet, I can handle anything. Since then, I have dog-sat and puppy-sat for family members and friends and have loved it! I love dogs, whether they are bouncing puppies or low-key seniors, I love them all. I work part time at the Wellesley Free Library and work from home a few hours a week as a tutor. With the beautiful weather we get, I am always looking for a good excuse to get outside! I have a flexible schedule which can vary slightly week-to-week. I live with two other adults, my boyfriend and roommate. We have a two-story house with a basement. All three of us our dog lovers, with my roommate and I having owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a lead that we can hook up a dog too. The lead is suited for dogs over 100 pounds, and pups can explore the backyard while being safe. As for care, we follow the owners' instructions in terms of walks, potty breaks, food, and sleep schedules. All three of us having varying work schedules, making it easy to accommodate early risers and night owls.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Canton
Boning was an absolute lifesaver! My flight was canceled at the last minute, and she was so understanding and flexible, stepping in to watch Nina and Yuta for an extra stay without any hesitation. She followed all the specific instructions perfectly, from the frozen food to the cleanups. I felt so much better knowing they were in such good hands during all the travel stress. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!

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.
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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
