“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“So excited we found Hope! Our pup Nana had a wonderful time with her, getting lots of walks in and cuddle time. Hope was super communicative and sent several photos every day which we always appreciate. Hope was also a great house guest. Looking forward to having Hope sit regularly for us - highly recommend 10/10!”
About: The best care for your best friend(s)! Providing cuddles – Not cages. Offering Fun. love. and compassion for your pets. I live at the lake and prefer to stay within our community. I have used this service in the past through my military and personal travels and found it a good experience. I am now retired and able to pass that experience on to others. Your pets will feel welcome, engage in fun indoor/outdoor playtime and receive lots of attention. My experience is not through training but rather a lifetime of loving and caring for animals. My preference is in establishing a safe and caring relationship with a few pets to give their owners peace of mind while they are away. Quality care is my goal. I am currently retired and not working, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available for boarding any day. I have a fenced yard and one small, sweet and gentle chaweenie. My home is pet friendly and I consider it a sanctuary for myself and my pet. I welcome yours to visit .
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities, I bring reliability, patience, and genuine love to every pup I watch. From energetic puppies to senior companions, I know how to keep tails wagging and pets safe, happy, and loved. My daily pet care routine includes morning and evening feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection to keep each dog happy and healthy. I follow each pet’s specific needs and schedule, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved throughout the day. Our property features a large, securely fenced yard with plenty of open land, giving dogs the freedom to run, play, and explore in a safe environment. With ample space and natural surroundings, it’s the perfect setting for dogs to stay active, relaxed, and happy throughout their visit.
“We are so thankful for Brylee! Communication was great while we were away and our dog Buddy seemed so so happy when we got back home from our weekend trip; hoping to book Brylee again in the future.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Lucrecia is great, second time having her to house sit and watch our puppies. Our dogs love hanging out with her and we feel very confident leaving our pups in her care.”
“Wonderful experience! Sara helped me out at the last minute when my schedule changed. She also extended her stay with my pups because a storm had come in and one of my dogs hates thunder. I’m so grateful she was there to ease my worries when I had to be away at work. Will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone I know.”
“Marina was an excellent sitter for our active border collie. She kept updated with detailed reports throughout the day which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend and look forward working with her in the future also. Thanks Marina!”
“Jessica was wonderful. She arrived on time, sent pictures and took very good care of our baby while we were gone. Will definitely recommend her to care for your fur babies. Very satisfied with her service.”
“Yordanos is so sweet & friendly, my dogs who are very aloof were comfortable with her almost instantly. She gave me constant updates with photos and kept my house nice and clean during her stay. When we got back from out of town, I needed an extra day for someone to watch the dogs, and re-booked her right away. Best dog sitter!!!”
“Words can not express the gratitude I feel for the work Monica did with my elderly dogs. All the pictures I received, The daily logs of how they were doing and all the love she gave my babies ,I'm so blessed to have had her taking care of my babies. Thank you so much.”
About: I love giving pets happy moments while you’re away and treat any pet as my own I feel that’s what sets me apart from anyone else :) I work part time so I’m able to be available for my pets and other pets and give each pet time and care while in my care. I care for pets by providing basic necessities such as water, play time, cuddles and attention towards your pet in order to satisfy your pet with their stay with me. :)
“Destiny was amazing! She took care if our dog and our house for 12 days without any issues. She replied fast and sent me pictures and updates daily. We are so happy with her!!!!”
“Stephanie was excellent in every way! She was caring, dependable and very trustworthy. I never worried one second about our pets and the loving care they were receiving. Stephanie followed directions perfectly and added in some of her own expertise. She is a treasure and I would recommend her without reservation. I hope that, should I need help again in the future, she is available.”
“Kayla did a great job and was super flexible in the fact that I got a hold of her last minute as my dog sitter had canceled on me last minute. I was nervous because this was my first time booking with Rover. My pup was well taken care of with her and will definitely use her in the future!”
About: Hi! My name Trinity and I’m 25 years old. I have taken care of a few dogs this past year my best friend’s two dogs, my other’s friend dog for 2 weeks. I would feed the dogs walk the dogs and stay with them. The dogs were so sweet and kind made me want to start spending more time with animals. I also used to watch dogs when I was younger! I am definitely open to meeting in person to see if I’m a good fit before booking! I really do love I’m currently working full-time, but I have three days off in a row! Right now I have some time off of work so I will be more available than usual! When I do work, I get off at 5:30 PM. I like following routine whatever the owner says is a routine for the dog. I will follow it! So whatever is comfortable with the owner is comfortable with me! I currently live in apartment by myself, but I do not have a backyard. I’m on the second floor, but I’m willing to stay at other people’s apartments or houses to help or even to go check check-in!

FAQs for House Sitting - Canyon Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Canyon Lake on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,532 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canyon Lake. 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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake 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.

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.
