“Aurora was awesome taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua that is battling cancer and some eye problems, along with our foster pup who can be a handful. They both warmed up to her right away and loved her, she followed instructions for all of their medications and eyedrops to a T.”
“I reached out to Alex to watch my pup on very short notice. Not only did she respond quickly, but came to visit a day prior to my departure to get to know Bailey before I was to leave early the following morning. My pup has significant anxiety, but from the moment Alex walked in she was at ease. Alex provided pictures and updates throughout her stay. Recommend her highly!”
“Love all the pictures and updates Huda gives. It makes me feel secure that my fur babies are loved and appreciated when I am gone. I will use Huda every time I need to be gone from home.”
“Megan is just what I was looking for in a pet sitter. Someone I can trust staying at my house and taking the best care of my fur babies. She took the best pictures of them and checked in regularly. Can’t thank her enough 💗”
“Miranda did a great job with Elsa and Red. We thought they would be sad the whole time we were gone due to a blip in our routine and schedule before we left for the weekend. Miranda knew both pups needed to be outside and boy, did that make a difference. We came home to two dogs that were ready for our routine to start again. The house was clean and we got smiles from our dogs. We're planning on scheduling her with the pups next time we go out of town. :)”
“Jessi was very kind and loving with our Golden retriever, Brady Love. She was faithful in sending updates and pictures to us during her stay. Her personality is both upbeat and professional. We highly recommend her without reservation. Thank you, Jessi!!”
“Great job! She kept me up to date all the time! The pups were in great hands! Would definitely recommend! She is quick to respond if I needed anything and super professional. Asked great questions when meeting the pups.”
About: My family has always been a "dog" family. I've taken responsibility to take care of all our family dogs and i've grown to love animals ever since then:) I am currently a student at Michigan State University and am available throughout the summer, during school breaks, and on most weekends. During the school year, my availability may vary, but please feel free to message me to check if I'm available:) I read care instructions very carefully and follow all precautions. I am also stronger and can keep them near or control them easier. I love to provide them with love and comfort or any fun play time.
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.
“Such a. Calming influence. She also projects confidence & capability. Our 2 dogs cozied right up to her to watch TV & relax after she took both at once for a walk, at our meet & greet. We felt so comfortable knowing we could be out of state & not worry about our furry kids! TU Kayla❣️”
“Lauren and Ian were fantastic! They walked and played with my dogs, and sent me daily updates. I could tell my dogs were very happy. They were very communicative and even did extras I did not ask for in cleaning up! I will 100% recommend them and will use them again!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other small pets including rabbits and guinea pigs. Growing up with both a small and a large dog gave me hands-on experience with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. Both dogs completed training programs—one as a puppy and the other later in life—which helped me develop an understanding of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement in animal care. I understand the importance of providing quality walks, maintaining feeding schedules, paying close attention to grooming and hygiene, and ensuring pets receive proper exercise and enrichment. In addition, I have personally owned cats and am knowledgeable about their daily care needs, including providing fresh food and water, maintaining clean living spaces, monitoring behavior, and grooming as needed. I am attentive, dependable, and committed to ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I base my scheduled depending on the clients and their pets’ needs. Emphasis on the importance of consistency and schedule that the pet is used to. I familiarize myself with the environment and ask any necessary questions that I need in order to feel comfortable in the environment to gain the pets’ trust.
“Perfect! Heather is fantastic! She was timely, kind and great with my two large Rottweilers. When I got home my dogs were happy, calm, and seemed very content! I cannot thank you enough and look forward to working with you again. -Daisy, Goot, & Alissia”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canton
Elton did a great job staying at our house to watch our dog, cats and fish while we were out of town for the week! I was nervous hiring someone I didn't know to have access to my house and upon first time meeting, Elton made me feel so much better! Throughout our trip we were able to text through the app and he was responsive every time I reached out. The animals looked happy and healthy when we got home. Elton even got our mail and took the trash out. The house looked clean upon our return and I would have him back again!
Meghan was awesome! This was our first time hiring a house sitter for our five pets and she did better than we could have hoped! She gave us updates on each pet and how they were doing, and took great care of our home. Will absolutely be recommending her or requesting her help again!
We were happy with Allison’s recent stay while pet sitting for our anxious dog and attention-hungry cat at our house. Her communication was excellent. Allison sent regular updates and images without any request, which helped put our minds at ease, especially with an anxious dog. We will definitely want to book Allison for future stays.
This is our fourth time booking with McKenna. This time she watched are pets at our home for an extended stay and we are so grateful for her. She took such great care of them, and was very respectful of our space as well. She is such a thoughtful individual and our pets love being with her 💙

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Canton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,224 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.
