“Maeve was great with Rami, she texts updates and sends photos which was very appreciated. She went above and beyond and bringing our puppy to have playtime with her dogs for some good socialization. Highly recommend!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! She stepped in last minute when we needed a cat sitter for our 2 week trip- and let me just say she goes above and beyond! She was kind, timely, attentive, and thorough in every way. It's the little things when you leave your cats for that long-I loved that she took the time to cuddle & play, shared daily pictures, kept things tidy, and offered to do some extras while we were gone. She is truly amazing!”
“Grace was phenomenal with our cats while we were gone. We looked forward to her daily photos (our cats never looked happier), and came home from a two week trip to a totally clean space with two happy cats waiting for us. Would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again! Thank you, Grace!”
“Jennifer is very kind and attentive, and takes a really good care of our cats. We absolutely happy with the care given to our furry babies and will definitely have her take care of our kitties again. Thank you, Jennifer.”
About: I grew up with dogs. I had a Great Dane that lived to be 12. I currently have a mini bernedoodle that is almost 5 years old. I also have a bunny. I currently work full-time and am available on Saturday and Sunday for boarding and dog walking. From late June through August, my schedule is more flexible. I will be available daily. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac with a fenced-in yard. I have a very friendly mini Bernedoodle. I love dogs that play and lazy dogs that just like to chill.

I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog and cat in my care with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I work from home, so your pup is never alone. We have a gorgeous golden retriever (Maverick) I'm organized, responsible, and great at communicating.

I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and enjoy spending time outdoors, in our fenced-in yard, going for walks, playtime, and exercise. I can also follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special routines your pet may need. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Why Choose Me?

When we get home, your pup will be snuggled up on the couch, resting after a long day.
“Chris was wonderful. Responded at the last minute, supported watching our babies with minimum guidance and was attentive to our babies. I would highly recommend Chris!!! THANK YOU CHRIS”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.
About: I've been taking care of my own pets for 6+ years. I make sure pets feel loved and well-cared for, whether it's playtime, feeding, or just giving them some extra snuggles. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, so I adapt my approach to suit their individual personalities. Devoted and loving pet caretaker available around the clock. With a very flexible schedule, I can provide frequent walks, playtime, and feeding to keep your pets happy and healthy. I have a yard for your pet to play in with supervision. I have a small dog and cat that are friendly, But they can be moved to another part of the house if you prefer.
“Beyond my expectations. My dog is gaurded with strangers and is a big boy, but zach has a natural comfort with dogs you can tell. My dog wylie warmed up to Zach with ease. Will definitely seek out Zach again”
“Sam is the best!! She’s such an incredibly caring and dedicated pet sitter. Even on a shorter visit, she sent multiple updates and pictures of my cat. My older, nervous cat absolutely loves her, and my cat will probably be disappointed when it’s me who comes home & not Sam! She made sure to send updates specific to what I was worried about (my cat being reluctant to eat her new, vet-prescribed food), and she even used some tricks to convince my cat to eat more! She even took out the trash and did more with the litter box than I had asked her to do. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever hired, and I’m really looking forward to hiring her again!!”
About: I have been training and caring for animals professionally for 16+ years, and doing so for my own animals for even longer. I strive to treat guests like my own dogs with individual care, frequent potty breaks, snuggles as needed, a pleasant bedtime routine, and daily exercise and entertainment. Safety is at the forefront of everything that I do. That includes but is not limited to keeping your dog safe and healthy. In addition to 24/7 video monitoring and professional handling while outside on leash, there are some medical records I require to be up to date for the health of my guests and my own dogs. This includes: Rabies and Distemper vaccines (Bordetella and Canine Influenza vaccines are strongly recommended but not required) Negative fecal exam and heartworm test from within the last 12 months If you have proof of these up-to-date records or can get them up to date before your boarding request, I would be happy to get you on the schedule! Booking as early as possible is the best way to get this accomplished. My boarding operation is also fully insured. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend =) I am an adjunct college professor. This means my schedule does not fit the typical 9-5 schedule, which allows me to work from home often or pop home in the middle of the day if I am working on campus. I see my own dogs frequently throughout the day, which means I will see yours too! When boarding at my home, guests have their own personal spaces in a converted bedroom. The room is climate controlled and has 24/7 video monitoring.
“Kelsey was fantastic! I needed a new dog sitter last minute so we could go to a wedding that night, and she not only accepted the job, but came over in the afternoon for a lengthy meet and greet. My 1 1/2 year old pup is 75 lbs and very strong, and I had no worries that she could handle him even if they ran in to other people and dogs on their walk. Rocky took to her right away, and we were able to relax and have fun at the wedding. Thanks Kelsey!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old and got my very first dog. I love all types of dogs, I can even handle aggressive dogs with ease! I always love to spend my free time with animals. Any availability I have is used to to go towards my pets and hopefully yours! I never let animals I don't know very well be off leash outside without my supervision, it is dangerous to me to be careless like that. I never take it too fast and id love to scedule a meet and greet.
About: Will feed, walk, and love your animal companion. Will bathe and groom upon request. I treat all animals as my children. I believe that they deserve respect and love. I have a passion for caring for all living things. I have worked in an animal rescue and animal kennel in the past. I also have experience with special needs and abused animals. If your little one needs extra or specific attention I am more than able to accommodate you. If you have any questions or concerns don't be afraid to text me anytime. It's important to me that both pet and owner feel comfortable. If the animal has specific medical needs or handicaps that won't be a problem either. My home is stress free and calm. This is my full time job so I will be able to be and play at home the whole time with your pet. I usually never leave for more than an hour or two. I only have 1 cat that will be separated from all dogs coming into the home. She will stay I. Her room and the dog will have full run of the home while he/she stay here.
“She did a wonderful job eith my cats. They did hide on her but if I had her a few more days I am sure they would have liked her. If there is ever a time when I need a cat sitter again, I will hire her again”
“I had a day trip into the city and needed someone to stop by my house to take the dogs out and be with them for a short period of time. Thankfully Joanna was able to help out and allowed me to be gone for most of the day. Nice to have someone who is responsible and can be trusted. Thanks again Joanna!”

We had such a great experience with Maeve! She was reliable, communicative, and amazing with Leo. She even covered for us last minute, which we appreciated so much. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Leo was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Canton Center is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 2,375 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Canton Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canton Center. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
sitters 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 sitter.
