“Taylen has been outstanding with Nix. Nix seems a little shy with people but she warmed up to Taylen pretty quickly and loves when she comes over to visit. I’ll be hiring Taylen again for sure. I’ve been incredibly happy with her service and would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Kaley was a life saver! We had originally booked another sitter, but had to find a new one in the middle of our booking due to an incident that happened. We were out of state, so not only was Kaley willing and able to take our dogs on such short notice, but she even went and picked them up herself from the other sitter. She sent me photo updates daily, and even sent us home with a little gift! She was so sweet and easy to work with, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Pamela is absolutely incredible! She took such amazing care of my dog Parker while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for more. For the first time, I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away because I knew Parker was in the very best hands. She went above and beyond, treating him with so much love, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only being looked after, but genuinely cared for. I can’t recommend Pamela enough - she’s truly the best!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 6+ years! I have 3+ years of veterinary background at Texas A&M University and additional vet pharmacy experience from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. I have experience administering medications including pilling and house-sitting! I am currently on remote rotation for my Pharm.D. program, so I am very flexible in my hours throughout the week! I am willing to stop by or stay to house-sit as well. I am in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit in your home, house-sit, or wherever you need it. I can also come in and let out the pets for potty breaks, or administer medications.
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets in a variety of situations, from walking and sitting for two pups who needed regular medication, to looking after a friend’s energetic pair of dogs and three cats at once. These experiences taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of tailoring care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m confident handling both calm and high-energy pets, and I’m comfortable with administering medication when needed. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog gets their meds on time, or giving extra playtime to rowdy pups and curious cats, I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a schedule that’s very pet-care friendly. Most days I’m done with classes by noon, which means I have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and drop-ins. I’m also available on weekends. Even though I’m part-time, I’m consistent and reliable; you can count on me to be there when I say I will. I care for pets in their own home, keeping them safe, happy, and on their usual routine. I follow all instructions carefully and treat your home with respect, so both you and your pets can feel at ease.
“Roberto is absolutely amazing. He is the person I completely trust with my dog and is always the first person I ask to take care of Baloo. He provides updates multiple times a day and is great with communication and flexibility. I truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would recommend Roberto to anyone!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have had pet dogs my whole life and can do whatever you need for your sweet babies! I am not working my regular full-time job for the next few weeks, so I have plenty of time for whatever you may need and will work around your schedule. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room to run. I have a 7-month-old standard poodle who loves to play with all dogs. I have a large crate if needed as well.
“Where to start? Christopher was absolutely amazing while we were on our trip. He shared pictures of our pets regularly, checked in with us, and even offered to help replace some grass that was messed up! I don’t have enough good words to say about Christopher.”
“Magdalena was wonderful in taking care of my lil Henry! She gave him a lot of TLC. Henry bonded with Magdalena on our meet and greet. I will definitely use Magdalena in the future. She is very experienced with animals and it shows. She is fabulous!”
“My dogs rarely like new people so I was concerned about how they would act but they immediately liked Haley upon meeting her and they were well behaved during my 3 days away from home. If I ever need another sitter for them, I would definitely try to book Haley again, she was great!”
About: I am new to professional pet sitting but I have watched dogs for my family members as well as fed cattle and cats for my grandparents while they were away. I currently work at a middle school as a paraprofessional and have summers off. During the school year I am available after 5 on the weekdays and all day on weekends. I will keep pets clean and fed as well as provide any needed services while they’re in my care. That includes grooming, walking, and even cleaning up after them.
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have a mini zoo at home. I care for my 2 dogs and 3 cats as well as occasionally housing strays in our spare room. I understand more than most the differences in personalities and behaviors of animals and will love your pet like my own, quirks, attitude, and all! I work from home and am able to dash out for potty breaks, check ins, and other quick visits. My schedule is a regular Monday-Friday 9am-5pm so I am available every weekend for overnight/all day visits! I have a mini zoo at home that includes 2 dogs and 3 cats so I am well versed in all types of pet care. I understand every pet has their own personality, quirks, and attitude and I can easily adjust to even the spiciest or shyest animals. Let me know what works best for your baby, and I’ll care for them as if they were part of my zoo!
“Whitney was able to help us on short notice when our usual dog watcher canceled right before our trip. We so appreciate her help especially being last minute and she was wonderful! She took great care of our pets and sent lots of communication and photos while we were gone. Can’t wait to have her stay with our pups again soon!”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. My experience includes caring for puppies all the way to senior dogs. I am patient, attentive, and passionate about ensuring every pet feels safe and loved in my care I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets. I have flexible availability for boarding on weekdays/weekends and can accommodate pet sitting/drop-ins. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create a stress-free, fun experience for them while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard, providing a safe space for your pet to play and relax. If your pet is more comfortable in their own space, I can easily accommodate crate based on your preferences.
“Abbey did an excellent job. She was very patient with Atlas. He was very anxious around a new person and Abbey was great with him. I would definitely recommend Abbey and will ask for her the next time i have to go out of time”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Canyon on Rover is $28.86 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 86 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canyon. 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 Canyon 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 Canyon 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 Canyon 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
