“Courtney was a truly awesome pet sitter. She was very thorough, communicative, and considerate. I really am grateful for the level of care she provided for my cat, Coco. I hate leaving her, but knowing she was getting great care and engagement was really important. Courtney is a real pro and clearly loves animals. I will most definitely ask her to watch Coco when I travel again and would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had pets ever since I can remember from all ages, breeds, and sizes. I have experience in walking, feedings, grooming, and medication needs for dogs and cats. I am a college student athlete with a soft spot for animals looking for a job for the summer. My schedule is very open and flexible and i’m available pretty everyday of the week. I am very flexible with times as well. So i’ll have plenty of time to meet all your pets needs. I would prefer to go to the clients house only. I can follow guidelines and routines that the client gives me. I will prioritize your pets needs and safety, while showing compassion.
“Emily is always reliable! She goes above and beyond for our cats every time. She has cared for our cats three July 4th holidays now giving twice a day medication to one. Thank you Emily!!!!”
“Kacie did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Raven while we were on our 20th Anniversary dream vacation! She came over for five days and took care of all of her needs, including brushing, petting and playing with her. We highly recommend Kacie and definitely plan on having her take care of Raven on our next trip!”
“Huda is a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of my cat while I was away and played with her often. She was very communicative, which helped to ease my nerves while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Kristina is the absolute best with my dogs. I used her M-Th for months and just backed down to when needed,only due to niece moving in and her ability to let the dogs out during the day. I catch myself still sending her pics of the pups because I know they miss her. She sends updates and pics at every visit. She does extras for them as well as gifting toys that I know they love. If you're looking for someone extremely reliable and trustworthy, look no further. She is fantastic.”
“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 9. I’ve had pets of all kinds including turtles, cats, lizards, frogs, fish, praying mantis, butterflies, and more along with plenty of dog sitting. I love animals and I plan to go into zoology and work with animals full time at a zoo or animal sanctuary or conservancy. I can’t wait to watch your animals :) I’m not working this summer so I’m free most of the time. I do have personal training Monday and Thursday at 4:00pm and physical therapy Tuesday and Friday around 2:00pm and they are an hour each. I can care for your pets in whatever way you need me to. I prefer detailed instructions and I will follow whatever routine you want me to as closely as possible.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 4 years consistently but have had some pets beforehand. Some special skills I have are that I can match high-energy dogs on walks and am very attentive to routines and instructions. I am currently a college student on summer break working a part time job roughly 2 days a week. My schedule is very flexible and I am available daily! I currently do not offer services to care for pets in my own home and have not worked in a clients home yet either, although this may change in the future.
About: I have 13 years of caring for animals personally 🥰 I am currently a dog & cat mom and a first-time mom to a baby girl. Over the years not only have I cared for my own pets but I have house sat for friends and family members. Additionally I have 3 years of dog grooming experience! One of my favorite jobs yet! Please keep in mind booking that I work from 8am-4:30pm. I look forward to discussing the possibility of caring for your fur babies. Please note I require a meet and greet before booking and a video call for last minute bookings I will give constant updates on your fur babies and keep them on whatever schedule you have setup for them. They will get lots of cuddles love.
About: I am experienced in working with many different types of cats and dogs. I grew up with cats and dogs and work in a shelter so I am comfortable with bathroom cleanup, administering medicine if needed, feeding, exercising, and more! Pet care is already part of my daily routine with my own pets, including feeding, exercise, and making sure my pets are happy and healthy. I’m working part-time as a summer school teacher, so I’ll have plenty of availability this summer, including weekends to spend time with your pets! I provide pets with fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention while maintaining their normal routine. In a client’s home, I also make sure the space stays clean, follow any specific care instructions, administer medications if needed, and keep owners updated on how their pets are doing.
About: I’ve always loved dogs growing up and have had a mini Goldendoodle of my own named Nala for the past 6 years. I’ve learned so much from her and thoroughly enjoy walking her and playing with her. I know that walks are her time to explore the world and would love to help make sure other pups get the outdoor time they need! I am currently in my gap year before starting medical school in August, so I have plenty of free time for walks and check ins! I am very responsible and will be sure to follow whatever instructions I am given for walks and check ins. I respect that every dog has different needs and want to provide them with the best experience.
“I can’t thank Missy enough. She made sure Marsha had some fun on top of the regular daily routine of feeding and meds. She was a very happy kitty. Marsha says thank you and hope to see you again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own—a Shih Tzu and a Mini Poodle—who I treat like family. Growing up with pets has given me a natural understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. I’m experienced with both small and senior dogs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I bring to each pet I care for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part time and an internship so my availability is mostly afternoons after 2pm. I’m available in the mornings or afternoon on the weekends as well. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I take time to build trust with each animal and make sure they feel cared for.
“Aurora went above an beyond! She was super attentive and responsive. She also gave us excellent updates so I felt super secure while I was out of town. I'm pretty sure my pets are disappointed that she won't be visiting them everyday anymore after my trip. For my next trip I would definitely like to book with her again to look over my fur babies!”
“You don’t have to look any further; if you need someone to care for your furry children while you’re away, hire Sheritha. She will care for your pup as if it was her own pet. I received numerous updates and she responded quickly whenever there was a question or concern. Most importantly, my dog Woody adores her! So look around some more if you need to, but really you don’t have to look much longer. I’d recommend her without hesitation.”

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.
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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Canton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
