About: I have taken care of animals for a long time. My friends and family rely on me to feed, walk, give medicine, etc. their pets. I also have experience with caring for horses, fish, birds, reptiles not just dogs and cats. I have taken care of rabbits, mini pigs, guinea pigs as well. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your pets. I do attend college online, so there are a few hours I am busy. The benefit of me staying at the client's house is that their pet(s) will be more comfortable in a familiar surroundings. The pet(s) won't be stressed out by being in unfamiliar places and around unfamiliar animals.

About: Hi! My name is Ariel, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to leave them with someone you can trust. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their needs. I’m currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and responsibility. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own, keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! As i’m currently in nursing school, my schedule is always fluctuating, but I make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive care for every pet I look after. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you always know my availability. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra playtime and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I will take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every visit. I will be sure to provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection while ensuring doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

About: I'm very good with all animals, I think it's because they can sense I care, or it could be because I spoil them who knows lol. All my pets are healthy and happy. Everyone and every pet that comes into my care is always treated like they are family. I will always follow the wishes of every pet owner because you know what's best for your fur baby. I will work with each client to figure out the best and safest way to care for there pet while making sure my pets are safe. If I am going to a clients home I will make sure to follow any directions given. The only thing I can't move around is I take a friend to work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 4 am and pick her up at 1pm but I'm available before, in-between, and after those times. I usually don't work on Sundays, it's our family day but if I'm needed I might be able to work something out. I follow any rules and directions given. I always do at least one meet and greet at your home so your pet will know I'm a friend and will trust me enough to take care of them and hopefully play with.

“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats Chance and Hazel. Hazel being deaf makes communication difficult and they quickly became friends. Chance on the other hand is pretty fearful of new people. Took him a day but by day 2 she had him eating his wet food on the stairs and then the last day he actually came out of hiding to eat at his normal eating spot. I would highly recommend Hanna! We will definitely have her back again.”

About: Hello! I have a dog that is 2 years old and he is my little baby! Before I got him my dad and I would watch dogs in our house from the year 2019 up until we got our own! I do my best to make sure they’re fed, loved and played with! I am currently going to college to be a Vet Tech so I would love to be of service to anyone who needs their dog watched, played with, walked or anything!! Please don’t hesitate to book with me ☺️ I am currently working full time time 7-3 on weekdays and weekends. The schedule varies each week but I would be more than happy to take care of your fur baby’s after 3:45! I care for other people’s fur baby as much as I care for my own. If I had someone watching my dog I would want to know that they are playing with him and making sure he feels loved! I will do that with your fur baby’s!

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well. I am currently working part time so I will have time to play and cuddle with your pets all the time. It will be my pleasure. I am always watching to make sure they don't get into something they shouldn't be eating or playing with. I love to take walks and play.

Emma communicated with us and was prompt with arriving at the scheduled times. We enjoyed the pictures she sent and our dogs were seen playing in the yard as they would if we were home. Emma was professional and seemed to enjoy our dogs. We will use her services again in the future.

Carrie was so great with my Loa that I honestly think she's mad at me for coming home lol. I couldn't ask for a better sitter and will be rebooking with Carrie every time, our house was kept safe, my babygirl was so well cared for, and the communication and updates were on point. Every box checked.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Canal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
