“Nick did a great job watching our two Pitbulls for 10 days. The dog loved him. He kept the house clean and tidy and did a few small tasks for us as well. Definitely will use him again.”
“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 cared for animals my whole life- from cats and dogs, to lizards and snails, and even horses! I love all of them and will give them all the attention they deserve. I am free weekends, evenings and nights mainly but can be very flexible. You just let me know what you need and I'll try to make it work. I do require advanced notice however. I am happy to care for pets in your home however is needed/desired during the day time or evenings. I do work most days so I cannot always guarantee a full day of availability but I can do several drop-ins a day!
“Megan did a great job with our dogs. She acts professionallly by being timely, communicating well, and leaving the house in good order. We were at ease during our time away and would use her services again.”
“Jenna was fantastic! She house sat for our two labs for five days. One of the dogs got an upset stomach just before we left on our trip and Jenna was so caring and gracious in getting her back to feeling normal. She was easy to work with and left the house in good shape. Definitely recommend.”
“Oanh is awesome. Molly loved her. She sent pictures and videos daily. She cuddled Molly and offered to due more than we asked or needed. Highly recommend her and WILL be using her again.”
“Nichole is wonderful! Communication is top notch - lots of pictures and updates were so appreciated. The two goofballs loved her! Nichole administered medication to one of the dogs, followed feeding and supplement instructions perfectly and took great care of our two doggies. Highly recommended!”
“Ally was a great dog sitter. She took great care of Bernard and was very communicative. She send constant updates and photos of Bernard which made it easier for us to leave him behind knowing that he was well taken care of.”
“Molly did an amazing job of looking after my dog for 5 days. Left the house in perfect condition too. I think my dog now likes her more than he likes me ?. I definitely plan to have Molly watch my dog again”
“Alex did a great job watching our dog Ralphie in our home! We have never left him home with a sitter before but Alex was very responsive and communicative! She made us feel very comfortable during our time away and assured us Ralphie was safe and happy! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was taken care of & she sent us some photo updates which were so cute! I highly recommend booking Alex for your pet care needs.”
About: I have two cats and grew up with many animals including dogs, bunnies, reptiles, insects, and fish. My cats have had numerous health issues and I’m comfortable administering medications or doing special care with tough babies! I also worked in an animal research lab where we managed care for farm animals around the clock. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Taking care of pets helps me take a break and helps you ensure your pet is getting what they need while you are gone! I have two cats at home, so I am not able to care for other cats, dogs, or pets in my home at this time unfortunately.
“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”
“Miranda and our cats are best friends! She sent so many pictures and took such great care of our kitties. We came back and the house was in better condition than we left it. Can’t wait to hire Miranda again!”
“Christine was so great with Lenny! He was immediately comfortable with her, she was immediately comfortable with him - and he immediately listened to and followed her lead. Her considerable experience (with all kinds of animals and particularly dogs in this case) was very apparent. She was attentive, meticulous, and provided many updates throughout the long weekend we were away. Lenny seemed sad when he realized she wasn't coming back the night we returned.🙂 We would absolutely hope to book with her again.”
“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!”
“Elayna stayed with our dog Winnie for the weekend while we were away. As always, she was communicative and professional. Winnie loves her and her dog Bowie and we trusted that she was in great hands while we were away!”

Maria was great! She took such good care of my two cats, and was great about their early morning feedings. They loved her, and even my shy boy warmed up to her. Maria gave me updates and lots of photos so I knew they were safe and sound, and took good care of my home as well. Would definitely recommend Maria and will be using her again!
Jackie is amazing! She watched my Huey at my house for 5 nights. Huey loves her. She kept me up to date daily with pics and texts. She’s so sweet. I was away for my son’s wedding. I never worried. Then, to top it off she left me a beautiful flower bouquet and huge Welcome Home balloon…thanking me for letting her watch my little guy. She is my go to now! I’m almost afraid to say all this because she’ll be booked! Please have Jackie watch your fur babies. She’s a treasure. 🥰

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 $44.68 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,183 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canton. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
