“Mark, Evangeline and their family couldn't have done more to take care of our little dog. Their communication was wonderful and our dog was very happy in their care. I would highly recommend this family to look after your pet!”
“Margaret is amazing! She was able to pet sit our dog and cat on short notice. She is extremely polite and easy to deal with. Good communication, she sent lots of photos and updates. My dog and cat were well taken care of and seemed to enjoy their time. I will be hiring Margaret in the future and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We had a great experience with Shawna and family. They were very attentive, provided regular updates/pictures, and were flexible with pickup/dropoff. We were able to enjoy our vacation without the usual guilt because we knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Milissa and family are wonderful caregivers. She sent me pictures and updates everyday of when we were away so I was never worried about Ollie. We really appreciate the great care they give:)!”
“Emily and her family truly have a passion for dogs and it shows. We felt comfortable with Emily from the start and could tell she puts a lot of time and consideration in her care and her communications. Will be booking with Emily again as it was such a gift knowing our Chico was in such great hands.”
“Louie was the best sitter for my dog while I was away for work , Vasu stayed with louie for 3 days , he’s a little hard to handle boi , but I appreciate her patience and love for him, while trying to make every possible accommodation to suit Vasu’s needs . She did send us regular updates and was very responsive.”
“Beyond grateful for Claire & Jared. We were in Halifax from out of town and didn’t know anyone to watch our two girls for us to fly to a work convention. Last minute Claire was able to accommodate us — not only going above and beyond with the dogs, but also keeping them an extra night when our flights were delayed a day. She sent lots of updates, pictures and that helped ease our minds while away knowing they were being well taken care of and loved.”
“Marisa took care of my sassy French Bulldog Beatrice for a weekend. Beatrice LOVED her time with Marisa. She kept me updated frequently on how Beatrice was doing sending me pictures of her daily adventures. I would definitely have Marisa care for Beatrice again!”
“We would highly recommend Ash & Abhi. They cared for our one year old double doodle for almost 3 weeks. Especially appreciated the occasional photos and short videos! A picture is worth a thousand words and we could see that Mia was enjoying her stay. We prefer to travel with our dog but sometimes that isn’t possible so it’s great to know someone who can provide a welcome in their home. Thank you!!”
“Kara was amazing! She sent photos every day of my dog and Oswald just loved her! She took care of him when he got an upset stomach and was so kind and generous 10/10 would contact again!!”
“Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services”
“Rain was lovely to deal with and took wonderful care of Ellie! Rain accommodated Ellie however she could, checked in with me and sent lots of pictures! Ellie was happy when I picked her up and I could tell she enjoyed her stay! We will definitely be going back!”
“Colin was an absolute dream! Extremely personable and accommodating of all of our dog’s needs. He was very committed and engaged to providing great care for Pickles with daily activities. Thanks Colin!!!”
About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!
“It was our first time using Rover. Meaghan and family were amazing dog sitters and welcomed our golden retriever into their home with open arms. Our girl loved hanging out with their dogs and cat, was taken on many walks, and rides for treats. She had a blast! Communication was excellent with photos throughout the boarding. Thank you, Meaghan! 🐕 ☺️”

Nicole is amazing! My usually nervous dog warmed up to her immediately, and based on the photos/videos of all their adventures, I don’t think he missed me one bit :D. I would highly recommend booking with her if your pet is shy around new people, she’s truly great with dogs! 10/10

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cole Harbour home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Cole Harbour
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 82% 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.
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.
