“Kristen was so kind with our pets, she was very good at communicating with us during our trip and we could tell from the photo and video updates that our pets were very happy and well cared for. We are so appreciative of the high quality care and will look forward to booking her again in the future.”
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for and loving dogs, I understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, drop-in visit, doggie daycare, boarding, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, giving you added peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I also have experience administering medications, providing basic training reinforcement, and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Communication is very important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your pet’s stay so you always know how they’re doing. My home features a secure fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, explore, and relax. Located on a quiet dead-end road, it’s a peaceful and safe environment where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. If your pet is happiest in their own surroundings, I’m also happy to provide care in your home. Maintaining your dog’s normal routine helps reduce stress and separation anxiety while giving you peace of mind that they’re receiving the same love and attention they get every day. Your pets aren’t just clients—they’re family, and they’ll always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I’d give my own. I am currently working from home and my availability is very flexible. I can assure that your furbaby (s) is in the best hands and I prioritize their needs above my own I have a fenced in yard with shelter and water. I live on a dead end road so very quiet and safe. Your furbabies will have fun running and playing outdoors and indoors! If you would rather me come to your home, I’m familiar with taking care of other dogs in the safety of their current environment including over night stays!
“Jeremy did a fantastic job with our boy, a giant breed Newfoundland. They were extremely responsive with corresponding. Our house was also in amazing shape when we returned. We will definitely use them again.”
“Britnie was amazing! I was super nervous about leaving my fur baby and she eased my mind so much. She sent so many updates, cute pictures, and communicated so well. She definitely spoiled her and gave her all the love while I was away. Super thankful for her help!”
About: Hello, I'm Abigail. I am a huge animal lover and would love to have more animals involved in my day to day life. I currently have a dog of my own and find it easy to keep up with him and would love to work with plenty of dogs. I sadly can not get anymore myself and find this to be an awesome compromise. And a nice way to bring in a little more cash to be able to spoil my babies more. I am currently doing odd jobs for friends and neighbors as a source of income so my schedule is very flexible. I have my own vehicle and have about 2 years of experience in house sitting. So I feel I understand the responsibility and respect required to look after someone's home and pets. Thank you. Abigail

I’m responsible, caring, and dedicated to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away I’m a full time college student at Kent state, I commute there so my schedule is very open. Fridays and weekends are off from school every week and the other week days school is only a couple hours per day. My dogs have a fenced-in yard where they can safely play and get fresh air. I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being. I will follow your instructions carefully, make sure your dog feels comfortable, and provide plenty of attention and care while you’re away at your home

About: I’m not sure that there’s one specific thing that would set me apart from other caregivers however, my best buddy Trouble crossed the rainbow bridge in February. Trouble was a 13 year old Weimaraner that my daughters & I rescued during Covid. Currently, Im not ready to be a dog mom just yet but I am ready to fill the empty space in my heart! I miss having a fur baby to walk with & playing in the yard. I have experience with large breeds , rescues, and seniors. I do work a full-time job Monday through Friday but I work a hybrid schedule & on the weekends I am an early riser so I could start as early as 5 AM. I am soon to be an empty nester and recently lost my fur baby. I am looking to keep busy with some new free time! In my clients home, I will care for their animals just as they do & keeping with their routine. If their dog needs belly rubs , quiet time, snuggling time & playing with & walking, I will do it all!

About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. There isn’t a one I don’t get along with, I get so much joy being round animals, I’ve taken care of our senior dog that had to been carried out side to do his business and I was at his side when he went over the rainbow bridge. I watched one of my give birth, I’ve potty trained many, taught many commands (but not a trainer), I’m very patient when it comes to our 4-legged babies. I have two older dogs and one senior cat. I’m retired, so my schedule is pretty open, or nothing that I can’t work around. I usually stay home most days I don’t have other commitments I have two older dogs to keep other dogs company, I also have a senior cat but most days he hides even from me. I have leads for when your dog(s) would need to go out, I also have two different sizes of crates if they need to be in crates, I have baby gates if they would do better to be in an area by them self’s
About: I have taken care of my own animals (cats and dogs) for as long as I can remember. In addition, I have extensive volunteer experience at local animal sanctuaries such as Forever Amber Acres, Medina SPCA, Found House Cincinnati, and Cats Off the Square Medina. I have taken care of all types of animals through these jobs, and there has never been one I haven’t adored. Helping animals feel safe and cared for is my top priority. I am currently a senior at Kent State University, I have a full class schedule and another job but am available for drop in visits during weekdays and long term sitting on weekends! I will follow your instructions on what is best for your fur baby! I am happy to play with energetic pups for however long they need, will work with a standoffish kitty, and adore gentle giants like Newfies and Pitbulls!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since my 20's but the last 13 years I have been house/dog sitting for the members of the congregation were I was paid staff. I absolutely love animals but dogs are my favorite. I have extensive experience with any breed from puppy to geriatric dogs. My goal is eventually to do boarding as well. I would love to come stay with your pet baby and love on him/her while you are away. I believe in spending time with the pets. I promise you I will become your pets best friend second only to you. Getting them some exercise every day if possible and lot's of cuddle's at night. I prefer clients with fenced in yards. I am currently not working so I will be with your pets through out the day. Recently my daily schedule has opened up so I would be with your pets full time. If you dogs like to ride in the car I would take them on errands with me. Really there are no obstacles for me to be able to be with you pets full time. I am looking for full time remote work from home work though. Then I can still do dog sitting at the owners home or my home while I'm working. The first thing I do when I get up around 8 or 9 is let your dog outside if it's a fenced in yard a walk if it's not. Then I feed them per whatever instructions you have left. In the afternoon we go out again for some play time and potty break. I usually will let the dogs out an hour after they eat and every 4 hours a day, For cats, I feed them first thing. Keep their litter box cleaned daily or every other day and depending on the cat's acceptance of me or their personality we will have play time and cuddles too.

About: I have a ton of experience with animals in the past. My family used to own a bulldog business, where I helped take care of their dogs, and give them unconditional love. Now I have 3 dogs of my own. Dogs are absolutely my favorite animal, I am a great pet-sitter because I love all animals, and we always become the best of friends. I just graduated from Kent State University with my BA in American Sign Language. I am deaf, and I know ASL, fluent English, and I have great communication skills with all types of people. Please feel free to ask if you would like to know anything else about me! Juggling my studies, family, and my Papillons is quite the routine, but it’s all part of the day’s work. Morning cuddles and care for my dogs amidst the family hustle set a positive vibe for the day. It’s a busy life, but caring for my dogs blends seamlessly into it, filled with love and joy. They’re more than pets; they’re family. Caring for pets involves understanding their specific needs and routines, whether it’s in my home or a client's. This means regular feeding, exercise, and affection, plus any special care required for their health or breed, like my Papillons. It’s all about ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-adjusted.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 474 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Canton. 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 East Canton 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 East Canton 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 East Canton 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 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.
