Carissa dropped-in on my cats twice each day while I was out of town for a week. She is flexible to changes in routine (my cats are slowly learning to coexist) and communicates their daily activities well through written descriptions and images. She is well attuned to each cats likes and needs. She remembers their favorite games between visits and can even tell when Violet needs a break from Saber. I appreciate knowing my cats are well cared for when I am away. Another very positive experience with Carissa!

About: Have enjoyed having pets around my entire life. Would love an opportunity to spend time with your furry family member when you are not available. I am retired therefore I’m currently available any day or evening for an opportunity to help you out by keeping your pets healthy and happy. Looking forward to spending time with your dog either in their happy home or while out for some exercise. Would never pass up an opportunity to say hello and give a little belly rub to a furry friend.

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!

I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!

Kristina is wonderful! I have a very nervous and reactive dog and Kristina came over to meet my dog before babysitting and was great with my dog. She sent lots of photos and updates during her visit to let me know how my dog was doing with her which was much appreciated. Will definitely be a repeat customer with Kristina!

Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my ability to balance active, engaging care with a calm and patient approach. Whether your pet loves long walks, a good game of fetch, or simply relaxing and feeling safe, I adapt to their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable working with elderly pets and those with medical needs. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and close attention to detail when it comes to medications, mobility limitations, or simply providing a quieter, low-stress environment. I take pride in making sure every pet feels comfortable, supported, and cared for at their own pace. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying attention to the little things, keeping you updated, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make sure to plan my availability so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I am a graduate student at Wayne State, so I do have classes Monday-Friday. Outside of those hours, I’m available for visits, walks, and check-ins. My weekends are somewhat flexible, allowing me to provide more extended care, drop-ins, or multiple visits as needed. I’m especially happy to help with dog walking, whether it’s part of your pet’s daily routine or if you just need an extra hand. If getting your dog out for a walk has become difficult, I’m more than willing to step in and make sure they still get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. I aim to be reliable, flexible, and accommodating so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into both of our schedules. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or favorite playtime activities. I approach every home with respect and every pet with patience. Some pets love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence, and I’m very comfortable adjusting to both. I make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet happy in the place they know best.

About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing tailored care for pets of all ages. My services include training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques, administering medication, and offering attentive senior pet care. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my reliable and flexible service, and my commitment to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize morning and evening walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring each pet receives the attention and care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate special needs or additional visits, making sure every pet is comfortable and well-cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I provide personalized feeding schedules, regular exercise, and lots of love and attention. For in-home visits, I maintain the pet’s usual routine, ensuring their comfort and reducing stress. I follow detailed care instructions, provide regular updates to the owner, and ensure a secure environment, whether it's daily visits or overnight stays

Emily did an awesome job taking care of my cat (and a few fish) while I was on vacation. She provided daily contact with many photos so I could see how happy my cat was! My cat always hides whenever new people come around but she warned up to Emily right away. Emily spent extra time giving her lots of attention: pets, brushing and playing with toys. Emily is a very professional, caring pet sitter!

About: Due to my mom being a vet, there has always been a pet (usually three of them!) in our house. Because of that I have loved and taken care of animals my whole life, so much so that I even work at a dog bakery where we make human grade treats! (Don't tell my other coworkers, but bambam the shop dog is too sweet not to be my favorite!) I currently work part time most mornings, so I am available before 10am and in the afternoon to make sure your fur baby gets the love they need! I am currently offering drop-in checkins and walks depending on your needs. Whether your pet needs to be fed, walked, played with, given meds, or just needs to stretch their legs, I am perfect for the job. If there is anything else more specific your animal needs, don't hesitate to share! Your pets happiness and comfort is my goal!

About: My experience with animals extends well beyond traditional pet care. I have cared for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs, and I also have extensive hands-on experience with birds. My education as an animal trainer has given me a deeper understanding of behavior, positive reinforcement, body language, enrichment, and the importance of earning an animal’s trust. I am also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, following detailed care and medication instructions, maintaining established routines, and watching closely for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I approach every animal with patience, respect, and genuine affection, adapting my care to help each pet feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I offer flexible scheduling and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s established routine, including daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I understand that plans can change, so I’m happy to discuss last-minute requests or adjustments whenever my availability allows. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care at the times your pet needs it most. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and place your pet in their care. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions closely while treating your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. You can expect timely communication, thoughtful updates, and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I take care of dogs of all sizes— from little Jack Russels all the way up to Bull Mastiffs and St.Bernard’s! My aunt used to run agility with her dogs so I often got to help reinforce behavioral teaching. I work in a hybrid office setting, so while I may need to go into the office some days, I always do my best to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re away! Since I have two dogs who have trouble socializing, I generally come to my clients. I ask about any special commands or needs or scheduling for the pets up front so that they have some consistency while you’re away!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was born and have experience with all kinds of breeds, from small lap dogs to large, high-energy dogs. I’ve also grown up with cats and currently have cats of my own, so I’m comfortable caring for both. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets the same way I care for my own—with patience, attention, and lots of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is, and I’ll always communicate with you to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care needs. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

My girl!! We just LOVE Stephanie. She did a fabulous job with our 2 boys last year and when I contacted her this year to sit for us, she did not hesitate to also take on our 2 new puppies. 4 dogs is a lot to ask and she jumped right in! I don’t think I could book a vacation without her. She is communicative, so good with my babies and gets an immediate feel for everyone’s personalities. I cannot say enough good things about her. ❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Canton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Canton on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 3,738 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Canton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canton. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
