“My family and I had an excellent experience with Jing. We have a greyhound with separation anxiety, and Jing was incredibly accommodating and understanding of our dog's individualized needs. She provided frequent updates and photos throughout her time house-sitting. We felt completely reassured and comforted that our dog was receiving exceptional care while we were away. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Audrey took great care of my dog, spent time playing with her, and made sure she got outside and exercised. She was also able to accommodate a same-day request when I was in a pinch, which was very helpful and much appreciated. Overall, a positive experience.”
“First time using Jill and all went excellent. Regular updates with photos and details. House was spotless when we returned home and the boys told us they had fun. Thank you so much. Look forward to next time”
“Tina was great! My dog was a bit sick and she took good care of her. Tina is an upbeat person which I think was fun for Ruby! Tina communicates well. I have already booked her again. Highly recommended!”
“Donna did a good job taking care of Tashi under fairly difficult circumstances, including a snowstorm and a dog who was reluctant to cooperate at first. She sent pictures every day and kept us updated on how he was doing. Will use Donna again in the future.”
“Mariah was amazing! She is incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with and you can tell she really loves dogs. My dogs were in great hands. We got a lot of pictures throughout the stay. We already have her rebooked! Definitely recommend.”
“Jenie is a rock star! She took phenomenal care of our sheltie Pepper. Super communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She cared for Pepper for eight days and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Jenie has our highest recommendations.”
“Jeff was so kind and took great care of our two cats while we were away for the holiday weekend. Our girls can be very timid and they warmed up to him no problem. He came over and met with us on short notice, and was very professional. Highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks again!!”
About: I LOVE animals, dogs, cats, birds, you name it, any type of pet and am naturally extremely caring for them, regardless if they are my pets or not. I'm currently home from graduating college and was looking for something i would enjoy doing, and i LOVE animals, and i got introduced into Rover. I've had a dog my whole life and trained them, and would love to help other's people and their pets! I have a dog, that I feed, walk and play with everyday. I walk him for at least 15 minutes, but he likes being out and playing catch, or even play inside.
“Anna was absolutely terrific. She connected well with the dogs and kept great care of them. They are very active and she was as well. The house was spotless upon return. She also kept us very informed of what was happening with photos and text as needed. Again she is awesome.”
“Kate is fantastic! Kate watched our one year old pup over this weekend and everything worked out really well. We received great updates and our pup was well taken care of. Kate is great to work with and so responsive. We felt wonderful leaving Lucy with Kate and Lucy looked so great in all of the updates we received. We are looking forward to using Kate again soon!!”
About: I have always loved dogs, have taken care of my own, clients, family members, and friends. They just need love and patience and I am here for it. To take care of their needs while you focus on important tasks. I also have a waste removal business called Scoop & Troop. I am available all day for the days that aren’t listed as available on the calendar. It fits into my routine perfect to attend to pets needs and be patient with them. I will make sure and be on top of keeping them safe, fed, hydrated, and protected. Anything that poses a risk to help them escape will be closed off.
“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”
“Jainah was wonderful with my needy pup Xie Xie and took great care to make sure he ate. She hand fed him with out my asking! I was updated on walks and her care and couldn’t be more grateful!”

I’m looking for part time work and occasional overnight sitting . Looking for dogs that are near my location that need walking and house sitting. I currently take care of four dogs.

“Gail was so amazing with Beau! We were able to book her last minute which was much appreciated. She gave us updates and pictures of Beau, even a doggy report card at the end! She is a true dog lover and great sitter”
“Casey was super communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to details throughout the entire process. She genuinely cares about the dogs and it showed. Any dog parent understands the anxiety over leaving their babies with someone new - but Casey really pulled through and was so reliable! The dogs LOVED her. Thank you Casey. You're a gift!”

Rylee is the best! She watched our beloved 11 year old mini-golden doodle at our home while we were out of town. Rylee is professional, responsive, detail oriented, great with communication and most importantly her love of animals is very clear! From our first message exchange and every day of the sitting, Rylee was quick to respond, proactive in setting up a meet and greet, and wonderful in sending pictures plus detailed updates multiple times a day on how Cooper was doing. She followed his schedule and gave him the attention (including multiple medications per day), snuggles and playtime that not only met our asks, but went above and beyond! Rylee put us at ease knowing that our dog was in great hands, being cared for and very happy! I cannot recommend her enough and she will be our go to sitter for Cooper in the future!
My family and I had an excellent experience with Jing. We have a greyhound with separation anxiety, and Jing was incredibly accommodating and understanding of our dog's individualized needs. She provided frequent updates and photos throughout her time house-sitting. We felt completely reassured and comforted that our dog was receiving exceptional care while we were away. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter.
I am beyond satisfied with Boning H. She was incredibly responsible and took amazing care of our dog, Chino—he was so happy with her. She also went above and beyond by helping us with the mail and trash. It truly felt like a premium service that exceeded every expectation. Highly recommended for any pet owner!
This is my second time using Chastity for a week of in-home cat sitting. My cat will often protest her wet food with a sitter, but I came home to evidence of her having eaten some fresh wet food, which honestly tells me everything I need to know. My cat felt comfortable with her, Chasity provided me with photos each day, and was easy to communicate with the whole week.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Canton on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,885 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
