“You can trust Bella. She was super communicative and so organized. She even kept a journal of how many treats our 3 babies got. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Our flight got significantly delayed and Bella stepped in and stayed an extra night and took so much stress off a stressful situation. So grateful we found her. We will definitely have her take care of our house and animals again.”
“Phia was AMAZING!!!! The complete package in pet sitting and house watching!!! She walked the pups, played with them, fed them and picked up poop!!!! She also tidied up the house. Which was completely of her own kindness. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“If you're trying Rover for the first time like we were, I can't recommend Jenna enough. We chose her because she had more reviews than almost anyone else we looked at, and she still maintained a perfect five star rating. Now we understand why. We were gone on a deep sea fishing trip, and Jenna came by twice to take care of our dog, Ruger. She didn't just let her out for a potty break. She spent time playing with her, throwing the ball, and making sure she got plenty of exercise. Ruger was happy, tired, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Jenna was reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
“Chelsea was phenomenal watching our two dogs while we went away for a weekend trip! From the moment we left, she went above and beyond—sending regular pictures and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. She made sure our pups had everything they needed, stuck closely to their routines, and clearly treated them like her own. Her communication, attention to detail, and genuine care exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, reliable pet sitter. 11/10!”
About: I absolutely love both cats and dogs. I am willing to care for animals in my home or your home, whichever you prefer. I am available for long term and short time care. I am currently working part time but would prefer pet sitting. With enough bookings I would be able to quit my part time job. My shifts right now are mostly 3 to 6 hours. I have a small fenced yard if you prefer your pets stay at my home. My back door has access to the fenced yard. Your pets would have free reign of my home including furniture and beds.
“Madison is the BEST! She had great communication and was great with our dogs , they seemed sleepy and content when we got home :). She also took care of our home and garden with love”
“Renee sent great updates and loved my babies like her own! I was so lucky to have her so last minute on a holiday weekend but I could see from pictures how happy and safe they were with her!”
“The main point was how well the dogs were taken care of. They seemed happy and well taken care of. They weren’t in distress in any way, and we received a couple pictures of them while we were away, which was great! There were a couple things we took issue with, specifically with the house.”
“Rabia was amazing with our baby, Porky! She sent frequent updates and pictures, and she started loving on our guy as soon as she walked in the door. It was raining, and she still took Porky out on a walk. We will absolutely be re-booking Rabia anytime we leave town. You can tell she just loves dogs, and I knew my baby was in great hands with her. Thank you so much, Rabia!”
“Bo did a great job with my two dogs and a turtle when I had to go out of town for a few days. She treats them like they are her own pets. She is very kind. She left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left. She is great at communicating and giving updates. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need training reinforcement to senior pets who require patience and gentle handling. As a veteran, I bring reliability, attention to detail, and calm leadership that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, supporting senior dogs with mobility challenges, and keeping up with energetic pups who need exercise and structure. What sets me apart is consistency—you can count on me to be on time, communicate clearly, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my days so I’m available for morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening care. I'm home constantly, which allows me to focus on the needs of each pet. Whether it’s regular daily walks, weekend sitting, or last-minute bookings, I ensure pets receive consistent attention and care when their families are unable to be there. Safety and trust come first in every home I step into. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes to ensure pets stay safe. I provide plenty of positive attention, consistent communication with updates and photos, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure. My goal is to give every family peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and treated like my own.
“Anabel was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos while house sitting for our pup. She also left the house as it was and even cleaned her sheets and towels, so very nice. Thank you for taking great care of of our pup 💕”
About: 10 years of dog sitting experience means I’ve seen it all! From high energy pups to firework phobic snugglers. Whether it’s a night out or a vacation, I’ve got your dog covered 🐶 I’m currently working full time as a medical assistant. I am free to hang with your pups evenings and weekends. I am also free for short or long term stays, provided that I can still go to my full time job. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With 10 years of experience, I’m very attentive to each dog’s unique routine and personality, and I do my best to keep things consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I stick closely to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions, while also giving plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship. I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean and secure. If pets are in my care, I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment with lots of supervision, attention, and a balance of play and rest based on their needs. I also have experience with anxious dogs, especially during things like storms or fireworks. I focus on keeping them calm and comforted. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands 🐾

Maghen is a phenomenal and caring sitter. She was professional, kind, and communicative from the very first message. This was our first time leaving our dogs for the weekend, and Maghen made us feel secure in the fact that they were being well cared for. She sent lots of photos and consistently checked in. You can tell she really loves animals and was an overall joy to have around. Our dogs loved her, so we will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Maghen for everything...you really exceeded our expectations!
Bella is absolutely incredible! We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was professional, caring, and genuinely invested in making sure our Jazzy felt happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Bella treated Jazz like family, and that means so much to us. When we returned home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone you can trust with your pet, but Bella exceeded every expectation!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cantonment on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 597 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cantonment. 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 Cantonment 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 Cantonment 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 Cantonment 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 Cantonment. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
