“Corriane is one of the only sitters our persnickety cat will come out of hiding. Corriane takes extremely good care of our kitty and communicates very well. I don’t like leaving my cat alone but knowing Corriane will look after her helps a lot.”
“Very conscientious and a pet lover. Even held one of my guinea pigs. Spent sufficient time giving affection and playing my very lonely attention-starved cats as well. Report cards were detailed and photos are adorable. Highly recommended.”
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.
“Laura was wonderful with our Chihuahuas. We went away for a long weekend & she came in twice a day to feed and love on them. She was very prompt, sent great pics, and genuinely a dog lover! We are so grateful and will use her for future visits!”
“I’ve never let anyone besides close family and friends watch my babies. This weekend was a family wedding so I decided to try Rover. I meet a couple people but as soon Rhonda came to my house to meet the pups we knew she was the one. I have 2 big dogs and 2 little dogs and Rhonda treated them perfectly and took on the challenge of the babies. She did wonderful I will definitely be using her in the future”
“Emily was fantastic! She did everything we asked of her. Silvie on the other hand was something to contend with. But, Emily took it in stride. We would recommend Emily to cat owners especially. We really loved getting the snap shots of Silvie everyday. nice bonus.”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She sent pictures, kept me up to date, and kept my dog happy and well taken care of. This was my first time using this service and it won't be the last. Thank you Emily!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“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 have cared for animals since I was 14 years old for my family, neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I really enjoy seeing the unique personality of each animal & how they need to feel love and care. I recognize each animal is different in their care and I attend to these details. I typically work 9a-4p Monday through Thursday. So, I am free those days before work, during lunch hour and after work for drop-ins or walks. My weekends are open Friday and Saturday for care. Sundays I typically work 8a-12p. I do not have any pets of my own. When caring for animals at my home, I am able to put dogs on a leash for walks. I keep doors shut to my basement, my bedroom, and outdoors. I adhere to requirements that clients ask of their pets in their own homes.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, focusing on rescues and special needs animals. I love spoiling our furry friends! I’ve raised two puppies from 8 weeks and am patient and loving towards all pets. I am patient and understand different temperaments and energy levels. I’m friendly and adaptable and can follow any specific instructions. Your pet will be well cared for with me! I work from home full time so I have a lot of flexible free time to care for your pet! I can do drops ins any time of day and love spoiling your pets. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood or mine, and I’m extremely careful to always ensure pets are secured and safe!

“Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Canton
Evelyn has done an amazing job doing drop in visits for our older dog Quincy. He needs frequent potty breaks and she makes sure he gets time outside to take care of business and makes sure he has water in his water bowl. She has been reliable and sends photos and communicates well.
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. ❤️

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.

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.
