“Sheridan was wonderful start to finish for an overnight with our dog, Shiloh! Shiloh is a sweet but anxious dog with some very particular instructions regarding her care, and Sheridan was happy to accommodate. We came home to a happy dog and our house exactly as we left it. Update photos and texts throughout her stay were thorough and helped us feel comfortable! We would 100% have Sheridan watch Shiloh again!”

“Kaycee was great! Reliable, trustworthy, respectful of our home, and took great care of our 3 dogs! She even gave love and treats to our sweet chickens. This was our first time using Rover because two of our dogs are elderly and we didn’t feel like it was the right move to board them in a kennel. Kaycee eased all our worries about leaving them at home with frequent updates and photos - we knew they were in kind hands!”

About: I've had about 3 years of experience doing pet sitting professionally, but I've been taking care of pets since childhood. I've mainly done work for neighbors or friends, and I've taken care of dogs big and small as well as cats. I've cared for pets who've had various conditions such as arthritis, cataracts, blindess, and deafness, and have experience administering time-sensitive medicine. Also, although I have not taken the steps to get certified as a trainer, I have helped assist a dog trainer many times and have experience in caring for "rowdy" or hyperactive pets. I'm currently a student, but have plenty of time available throughout the day! My schedule is most open during the morning (8am-10am), afternoon (2pm-5pm) and late night hours (8pm-11pm). But, if your pet needs care midday or during the evenings, I can be flexible and adjust accordingly. I make sure to treat your pets as if they were my own. I save any and all written or spoken instructions from owners to make sure pets are given care they are comfortable with and used to. When doing drop-ins, feeding and playing with pets are included. If requested I can also bathe and administer medicine to pets. When walking dogs, I spend 30-60 minutes with them depending on the pet and owner's requests and can walk them as many times a day as needed (within reason). Also, I can accomodate any personal preferences in regards to putting pets in crates, letting them in the backyard, etc. I'll also send picture updates of your pet after I'm done with every visit. I'm always open to questions and requests!

“Lillie was great with the dogs! She was reliable and communicative for our overnight booking. She was flexible when my plans changed and even tidied up the house! I left her detailed instructions which she followed seamlessly and she sent plenty of happy and cuddly dog pictures. She has quickly become my go-to sitter that I trust.”

About: I’ve always loved caring for dogs, often helping neighbors and friends with their dogs. And I look after my grandpup Whiskey, a husky, whenever my son travels. Your pet will enjoy a calm, steady routine while staying with me. I work full‑time from home, so they’ll have company throughout the day and plenty of attention. We’ll follow their usual schedule — walks, meals, potty breaks, and any comfort habits they rely on. Evenings are relaxed and cozy with playtime and snuggles. You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For cats: They settle in easily here and enjoy a quiet, cozy space with lots of gentle attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep a steady routine throughout the day so pets know what to expect and feel secure while they’re with me. I live in a quiet, comfortable home that’s very pet‑friendly and easy for animals to settle into. Since I work from home, your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Supervised outdoor time: I don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is on‑leash and supervised. I’m mindful of other dogs we may meet on walks and keep interactions calm and controlled. Safe indoor environment: Inside, pets can relax, nap, and settle in a pet‑friendly space where I’m always nearby. At times, my grandkitty Kitana may be here, and she’s calm, gentle, and used to sharing space with visiting pets. Communication: You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything seems off — changes in appetite, behavior, or comfort — I’ll let you know right away.

About: I’ve been tending to animals since I was about 7 years old, I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, reptiles, farm animals, and more so I’m very comfortable around all pets! I also attended a school where I helped care for animals through my high school years. My schedule is pretty flexible, and honestly, I’d love an excuse to spend more time around animals. I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, especially the weird little personalities they all have. I’m happy to give them attention, play with them, or just hang out and let them do their thing. I’m pretty easygoing and patient, and I like giving animals the time they need to get comfortable with me. I also have a 15-year-old cat, so I definitely have a soft spot for older animals and understand that they can need a little extra patience, care, and attention. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have been helping my mom with her dog sitting for half my life. I’ve also helped out family friends with check-ins, walks, and overnights! I’m currently at college and looking for some work to fill up my routine, I also miss my dogs and cat at home so I know helping care for others is what I need! I’m here to make sure your pet is fed and happy! I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible to give them comfort, food and water, or medication if needed, provide walks, playtime, and all the attention! I’m able to watch their behavior so I can notice and changes if something were to be wrong, and treat them with kindness and patience, as if they were my own.

About: Hey there, I'm Julie! I've provided loving care to all sorts of animals, and while I'm new to Rover, I'm certainly not new to caring for fur babies or house sitting! I have two dogs and a cat of my own, and I've been a nanny for almost a decade, so nurturing and caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I've adored animals of all kinds since I was little. Growing up, my family had a dog and three cats, along with hamsters, reptiles, fish, birds, and more! I’ve always felt a special connection with animals, and sometimes find it easier to understand them than people. ❤️ As a pet sitter, my goal is to make your pets feel like they're part of my own little pack. I want them to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pup needs long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, and mental stimulation, or prefers leisurely strolls, belly rubs, and snuggling on the couch, I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and making sure their individual needs are met. I also have a good general understanding of dog training, first aid, canine body language, and caring for reactive or higher-needs animals. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to be patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. I want to build trust at their pace and give them the kind of thoughtful, individualized care that helps them feel at ease. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pets in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your home with respect, follow your pets' usual routines as closely as possible, and keep you updated so you can feel confident they're in loving hands. My goal is for your pets to feel like they have a friend staying with them, not just a sitter! **I am work as a house cleaner, so if you want to add that to your service, please let me know!** I am currently working as a ceramic artist, so I have a lot of freedom in creating my schedule based on your house sitting / pet care needs. I work remote 4 hours per week, and work in the River Arts District 4 hours per week on Wednesdays. The rest of the time I work out of my studio in the RAD which can happen whenever! Having a flexible schedule means I take the time to provide ample potty and outdoor breaks, playtime, and cuddles for your fur babies! I pride myself on safety and keeping your pets comfortable and at ease. I will keep off limit foods/items out of reach, and have a lot of awareness around things in the home or outside that could be dangerous. If something comes up and I am unsure on how you'd like it to be handled, I will contact you and keep you informed. I am not a forgetful person and am meticulous about safety and keeping your home secure. I take my time to clean up after myself and will leave your home clean and tidy.

“Kara is awesome and would highly recommend her care for kitties! She took great care of our kitties and home, spotless when we came back from a trip where we also had a health scare. Coming back to happy cats and home was so good. Our kitties were stray/ferals when we got them, having a calming presence when we’re away keeps them close, happy and safe. Kara was so easy to work with, sent updates at a perfect interval through the week, and is warm and kind, so we immediately felt at ease. She’s a fantastic pet sitter and professional!”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Canton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in West Canton is $80 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 659 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West 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 West 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 West 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 West 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Canton. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
