“Nancy was so lovely and took amazing care of our two dogs! Appreciated her beautiful photos of them and that she was so understanding of their quirks and needs. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Jannie took my dog at the last minute over a long weekend. She sent us constant updates on how he was doing and ensured that his stay was perfect. Highly recommend Jannie to anyone looking for somewhere to leave their family member.”
“Ruck was an amazing sitter for my dog Bailey while I was travelling for a week. His dog Blue and Bailey were great buddies and he was beyond accomodating with my last minute request for a sitter after my plans fell through with another sitter. He sent updates throughout my trip and when I got back late from the airport to a dead car battery he was able to bring Bailey home to me that night! I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope to be able to leave Bailey in his capable hands the next time I’m travelling 🙂”
“Cooper loved his time with Renita. She is so caring and I felt really comfortable leaving him for the evening! She also sends a lot of updates throughout the day in which I really enjoyed! I will defenitely be using her again soon!!”
“Joyce and Brian sent me messages and pictures while Meeka was in their care, which I loved. When I picked Meeka up she had a little Halloween costume on which was very cute, I tired to give it back, they told me to keep it for her. Very nice, friendly family. I would have no problem leaving my Meeka with them again”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals throughout my life. I bring 15+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including working in two veterinary clinics and teaching canine and equine first aid. I provide reliable, attentive and compassionate care and am happy to follow each pet's individual routine and needs. I have a flexible schedule and am generally available Sunday to Saturday with daytime availability for drop-in visits, dog walks and pet care. I am also open to occasional weekend and overnight bookings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active and spend time caring for my own animals, including my horses and cats. I can work with individual pet routines and am happy to provide regular updates to owners while they are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality and individual needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions for feeding, exercise, medications and other care. My experience working in two veterinary clinics, along with my Canine and Equine First Aid Instructor training, gives me confidence recognizing changes in an animal's health or behaviour and responding appropriately if a concern arises. Whether caring for pets in their own home or providing visits, I aim to keep their environment calm, familiar and stress-free. I will also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they are away.
“Emily was amazing! This was our first time having Emily look after Cooper and we were so happy with it! Absolutely can tell Emily loves dogs! Cooper got to play with kids and other dogs, which is his favourite things :) We received pictures of how he was doing and updates which made us feel so much better about leaving him. Definitely recommend Emily and will be requesting boarding with her again!”

Whether you dog needs lots of playtime, gentle reassurance, or a calm routine, I easily adapt to their temperament.

Reliable dog sitter with a fixed hour job, free evenings , weekends, and holidays. Nature walks and full attention included! I provide a safe, spacious and comfortable environment.

I also maintain trust and clear communication with owners through updates and photos, so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Nature walks are a key part of their day, providing exercise and mental stimulation. Whether it's playtime, cuddles or following a specific routine, I tailor care to each pet's needs, creating a nurturing, reliable and happy home-away-from-home.

About: Booking now for the Fall!! 🍂🍁 Use code COURTG92048 for 20$ off your first booking with me. I've been walking dogs and sitting for cats for years now, so I've seen it all: the zoomies, the guilt-trip stares, the dramatic sighs when dinner is two minutes late. Dogs get walks matched to their vibe. Cats get the respect they clearly believe they're owed 🐈. Meds, anxiety, quirky habits — I've handled it all and I'm not easily rattled. Basically: your pet gets a sitter who has tonnes of experience and will love them more than most. ♥️ I currently work 730-5pm schedule,Monday through Thursday. I can be free most evening and weekends to help you with your fur baby. I do drive and can take them to parks and swim spots. Same routine, same rules, same love they'd get from you. I follow your instructions to the letter, send photo updates, and pay close attention to how your pet is really doing.
About: I have my own 5 year old, 18lb Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix named Ruby. We love to be outside and playing at the nearby green space. I’m currently not back at work until August 28th so I am available 24/7. Starting September 3rd, I am home daily at 3:30 from work and available to do dog walks and house visits Monday-Friday. Weekends available all day/evening for boarding, walking, and/or visits. I have a fairly large home with one 18lb friendly and playful dog ( Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso). She loves to play and we go for walks around the neighborhood and to a near-by green space.
About: Hi, my name is McLean :) I’m a proud graduate of Saint Mary’s and Mount Saint Vincent University, with 12 years of experience working in healthcare. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a lifelong passion that continues to bring me joy and fulfillment every day. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it's going on daily walks around HRM or longer hikes through the Cape Breton Highlands. For over 15 years, I’ve been a volunteer foster parent with the SPCA, helping animals transition into loving forever homes. I provide them with medical care, socialization, litter box training, and the love and attention they need to thrive. I also volunteer with Elderdog Canada, supporting seniors with their animal care needs including walks. I currently work full-time from home which gives me the flexibility to check in on your fur baby throughout the day and provide consistent love, care, and companionship. I'm comfortable with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. When house-sitting, you can rely on me to also care for your plant babies (I have 35 of my own!), collect your mail, and keep your home tidy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship and slow strolls, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for 🐾 I currently work full time from home and have availability Mon-Fri 6-8am, 1130-1pm and anytime 3pm onward. On the weekends I am available between 6am-9pm. I live in a 2-level condominium with access to a shared backyard space as well as live close to numerous parks and trails. For puppies, I have a guest room and a guard rail for the stairs.

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.
You and your Chester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
