“Maegan did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats during a weekend trip. She was punctual, had good communication and provided detailed updates after every check in. We’ll definitely use Maegan’s services again!”
“Jill did a great job with Ruby and Archie and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry. I would highly recommend Jill C. And I thank her so much for the wonderful, Loving compassionate care she showed towards my fur babies.”
About: Growing up, my grandmother fostered litters of puppies and their moms until they were old enough to be adopted. I spent a lot of time volunteering alongside her and learned how to train puppies. While I'm not a professional, I do understand the mechanics of positive enforcement. I had a boxer who will be 2 years old this February and have trained him to walk nicely on a leash as well as other commands. I also have two cats, Cho'gath and Jorah. I'm currently working part-time Wednesday-Fridays until 4 pm. Anytime outside of that I'm available! I sometimes have to work Saturdays, but would be off at 12. In my current home, there is no back yard. My place had 4 cats living in it right now, two of which are my roommates. At home boarding might be difficult here, but I'm happy to come to you.
“Jing is awesome with our three dogs! I was really reluctant to let a stranger come into our house but she is always so respectful and trustworthy with our four legged friends! They get excited when she comes through the door 😂 definitely hire her!”
About: Hey, I'm 30 and my family currently owns two large dogs. We moved to Massachusetts about a five years ago. We have two standard poodles, Ivy who’s 7 and about 50lbs and I own Felix who’s about 3 and over 50lbs. I also have a horse, and our first dog was raised by the cats we had before got dogs. Thanks to growing up with animals, then working with horses as an apprentice in Colorado for two years I appreciate the need that dogs have to get outside and get some energy out, or at least some attention so they don't decide to entertain themselves in a different way other ways. I’ve also taken care of parrots and parakeets, rats, guinea pigs, and bearded dragons. I housesat for neighbours and friends often, and occasionally their pets would be there too. I also babysat growing up and I'm still in touch with the families, watching their kids (& pets) grow up. I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! As a pet owner, I completely understand the need to make sure your pet isn’t bored. I like to try to leave my clients home cleaner than when I arrived, my mother taught me that when I started babysitting and it stuck. Would you like me to water your plants?
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of pets since I was 15. I love going for long walks and meeting new people and animals! I currently work remotely and have a lot of time on my hands for another job. I love dogs and pets and this is a great opportunity to do something I enjoy! I have a big back yard and love going for walks. Now that it’s getting warmer out, I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time outside!
“Boning helped us out when someone else cancelled last minute. She did an amazing job, and really showed she cared about my girl by noticing what she did or didn’t like. I would definitely recommend booking with her!!”
About: I have hands-on experience handling and caring for animals through volunteer work at an animal shelter, employment in multiple animal hospitals, and caring for my own pets. My experience includes safely interacting with animals of various temperaments, supporting their daily care, and maintaining their health and well-being in both clinical and home environments. What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience, hands-on care, and genuine love for animals. This experience has given me the knowledge to recognize pets’ needs and provide calm, compassionate care. I have even had the pleasure of caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, comfort, and attention they require. I’ve also done some basic dog training and enjoy reinforcing good behaviors with positive encouragement. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, and typically have open availability, allowing me to provide plenty of walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I live down the street from a dog park too, so pets can socialize during their time with me as well. I love spending time outdoors and am very active so any pet in my care will be outdoors as much as possible, unless an owner would prefer I keep them indoors. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I’m very attentive, compassionate, and patient, making sure each pet receives the care and attention they need. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of affection and positive interaction. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have a small “Dog Stuff” bin where I keep extras like bags, food, treats, toys, and more so no worries if an owner forgets to pack something.
“Tracy was great with the cats and went above and beyond to help out. She always made time to play with Basil and sent very sweet videos which I really appreciated while I was away.”
“Jenie was so wonderful to work with! She was attentive, very quick to respond, and clearly treated our anxious pup with gentleness and care. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Kate has been so good with my puppy! She plays with her inside and out, and sends the cutest photos! She also is responsive, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. It’s a relief to know my pet is in good hands!”
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 taken care of household animals my whole life! Whether the pets are my own, or I am taking care of my friend’s and family’s pets, I have had the responsibilities of feeding, cleaning, walking, and taking care of dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I love bonding with pets and creating a safe space for animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so throughout August I have a lot of availability! I will also be available on evenings and weekends throughout the school year. While being there for your pets in your home, I will provide the best care and play that your pet requires! I am good at following clear directions, communicating with other people, and ensuring that all people and animals are happy at the end of the day.
“Anna is our dog's favorite human other than us! She is so kind, so accommodating, and such a warm presence. I never worry when I leave my dogs with her, and they can't wait to see her again!”
“Dan is *exactly* the type of person I wanted to take care of my dog. It was evident within about 7 seconds of meeting them that they were warm, trustworthy, and genuine. Dan asked me all the right questions and made me feel like I was leaving my dog with someone I had known for years. That is a rare thing.”
“Calvin was so kind and caring to our girls. He was also great to work with! He was great with communication and sent lots of pictures and updates. Would love to rebook in the future.”
“Debbie is the best dog sitter on Rover! Our pup loves her visits, whether it’s a walk, doggy day care or overnight. She goes above and beyond to make sure he gets exercise, playtime and lots of pets. I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canton
Jill did a great job taking care of our kitties while we attended our wedding! She gave us the peace of mind we needed. She followed instructions and made sure our cat got his medicine. We felt comfortable with her in our home and will happily trust her again with our cats in the future. Thanks so much!!
Boning took wonderful care of our 4 kitties, including 3 older kitties. All of our cats warmed up to her right away, which is rare for our shy crew. She handled med administration with ease and had excellent communication skills, letting us know exactly what had happened during each visit. We would be very happy to have her take care of our kitties again!
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Canton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
