“Ani was fantastic! She took great care of my two cats, and was communicative, sending me great pictures and videos of them every day, so I wouldn’t worry. Very friendly and caring.”
About: I’ve walked/sat for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up with a dog and now have my own at the age of 25 I am in Norwood living with my partner and looking for work, I decided to put a profile together and take care of pets to earn some money in the mean time. They’re allowed all the free play space in the open living area. Lots of space to run around. We’re close to a field for fetch and walks and I am more than happy to drive to a fenced in dog park. I have a vehicle and can drive to your home as well to hang out in the pets home if need be. I trained my dog by myself she is very responsible. She is energetic but kind and cuddly. She knows how to sit, come, stay, play dead, sit pretty, give paw, and loves fetch
About: I've always been the dog sitter with family and friends because I love their pups like my own as I have two at home that I annoy with lots of love and attention. I currently work as a therapist Monday through Thursday and want to open my weekends up to help take care of peoples pets and give them they same love an attention you would give them while yo'ure away. I love maintaining whatever routine you have with your pets so whether thats snuggling on the couch and watching movies or getting our steps in together for a nice stroll.
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: We are a family of 4 who love dogs and treat our guests like our own. After our last dog passed a couple of years ago, we’ve enjoyed the occasional pet sitting for our friends so much that we decided to do it more often. Dogs will get plenty of attention, playtime and exercise here. Let us know their needs and we will strive to meet them and make them feel at home. We are available for weekend, extended weekend and occasionally longer stays as a i work from home every Monday and Friday at a minimum. Dogs will be walked whenever needed. We only take 1-2 dogs at a time to ensure that your furry friends get the care and attention they deserve. We strive to accommodate our guests’ needs and make them feel like part of a family while you are away. Our side-walked neighborhood is very safe for dog walks, with great hiking trails nearby if our guests enjoy that as well.
“Lindsay was the perfect companion for my puppy! They were fast friends, and I truly appreciated Lindsay’s attention to detail when it came to her care. Lindsay was absolutely wonderful as a sitter and I hope we can do another play date soon!”
“Margaret took such great care of our cats, she is wonderful. She is so sweet, very caring and I hope she will take care of Olive and Otis again next time we go away! I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From daily routines to lots of love and attention, I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I have a flexible schedule and am available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. On all other days, I am available after 3:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care while meeting all of your pets routine needs :) I have a pet-friendly home with a yard for outdoor breaks (no fence, so all outdoor time is fully supervised). I currently have two sweet female Labs and two cats who are friendly and used to being around other pets.
About: Hi friends! I've been a dog lover my whole life and have experience with it all, from wobbly puppies to wise 14 year old seniors. My own pup is a 14 year old Maltese who's currently living the good life with my parents, so I understand firsthand how to care for senior dogs, including those losing their eyesight or hearing. I'm always the go to for friends and family who need a dog sitter, and I treat every pup like my own. I'd love to do the same for you! Whether it's a walk around the block, a long romp at the park, or just some cuddle time on the couch, I'm happy to match whatever your dog loves most. I've had the pleasure of walking and watching all kinds of dogs overnight, including a Mastiff, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, a Cattle Dog mix, and even a Cunucu (an Aruban street dog), so no size, energy level, or personality is too much for me. Small, big, shy, wild, high energy or low key, I've seen it all and love it all! Thanks so much for considering me! I can't wait to meet you and your pup!

“Sheila did a wonderful job taking care of our older doggo. She was super attentive and kept us informed about everything that happened during her drop-in visit. And she sent plenty of photos, which was great!”
“Mike did a great job doting on our very neurotic cat. He managed to slip a pill into her food every morning, and stayed around for a bit so she could get a "second breakfast" afterwards. He even got to pet her occasionally, something only a very select few can say! Fountains were kept filled, cat box was clean, and bowls weren't overflowing with stale, dried up food. Definitely recommend!”

Huge living room and open space for play and a gated closed off private backyard for outdoor play.
“Emily did an excellent job of taking care of our beloved fur babies. She went over and above the call of duty, heading over to visit before the snowstorm and then trekking through thigh-deep snow before the snow removal folks did their job. She sent us updates and photos every day and adjusted their food based on what she noticed. We came home to happy kitties. Thank you, Emily.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Canton
I cannot recommend Jing highly enough! She has been caring for my dogs, Winnie and Jackson, and has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, consistent, and always communicates clearly, which gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. One of my favorite things about her visits are the photos she sends. The photos she takes are incredible. I have honestly saved so many of them because they are just that good! It is obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs and takes the time to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Winnie and Jackson are always excited to see her, and I know they are in great hands whenever she stops by. She is dependable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, I would wholeheartedly recommend Jing.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
