About: I've been a dog owner for most of my life and currently have a craigslist pup that is turning 13 and a 6 month old dachshund puppy! I love dogs of all sizes, shapes and breeds and look forward to meeting your pets as well. I want you to have a good experience and to build long lasting relationships with my clients. I do have a job currently, but am available between 8-10am and after about 6-7 depending on travel time! I like to get dogs outside and active, getting their potty needs in before we head inside for our meal or a treat for good behavior. Plenty of fresh water, making sure that they have it and leaving them on a good note either crated if they're trained or hopefully settled and ready for a nap. I have 4 cats who roam our home and a ball python as well, so you could say I love animals. I keep my calendar up to date on Rover, but feel free to reach out to confirm if you'd like! Pets in my care will need to be okay with alone time, either in the home or crated. I am a snuggly person and enjoy giving scritches and belly rubs to any dog that wants them! I'm happy to hang out for a bit and watch a show or play with some toys to give your dog the attention they want in your absence!
About: Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology. Five years of recent pet sitting in the Plattsburgh, NY area. Solid references for that era. I never had children. Pets are my babies. Currently, I am working to help out friends with their farm. I am only beginning Rover now and am very flexible. Pet sitting is more of enjoyment than corporate employment. I can have a cat or a small dog stay with me in my apartment if that is something the owners are interested in. It's an apartment complex with really nice, dog-friendly grounds.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. From basic training of puppies to elder care, hospice care and administering medication. I’m patient, kind and enjoy all energy levels. Whether they are movie & couch potato pups, prefer swimming at the river or playing ball in the meadow, I’m always excited to give them the best time they can have. I work a rotational schedule allowing me to have blocks of 3 weeks off at a time. During that time I am fully available for any pet care needs. have over 3 acres of woods & meadows for frolicking that back up to more wooded areas, I’m a short drive from two beautiful river walks or swimming (seasonal). I do have crates available if needed. I have a good selection of pet basic first aid and hygiene supplies.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Canton
Lydia was really great with our nervous dog Blue. She was very pleasant to organize with, she was flexible and on time. Given how nervous he was, it was a miracle she was still able to give us some free time to watch our son's tennis match. She definitely has a lot of dog management skills and her calm nature made it easier for me to let him go despite his fear. I will definitely be booking more walks with Lydia in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Canton is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $18 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Canton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Canton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Canton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canton. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
