“Anna is amazing! My little guy has separation anxiety but Anna made him feel as though he was at home. She loved him like her own and kept me updated with photos. Kasper did not want to leave when I picked him up, he wanted to keep playing. I will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“Ife was incredible! He cared for our 3 Rotti’s which can be intimidating for some people. He followed our instructions precisely, shared photos and videos, and went over and above to play with the dogs and keep them comfortable while we were away. . He was also so respectful in our home and when we came back, it was spotless and he left his flowers, which I thought was a very special touch! We would definitely use him again when we’re away and absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter Thank you, Ife. We appreciate everything you did!”
“Thank you Jennifer. First time user Rover. Jennifer was punctual and made us feel at ease leaving our senior dog cared for. We will be working with Jennifer many more days.”
“Maria is an animal lover! She is a kind-hearted person. Her unwavering devotion to animals is exceptional; she has a remarkable spirit and an innate ability to connect with them. Maria connects with my dog and my cat, treating each one with lots of care and love. Whether she’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with them, if you’re looking for someone who will love and nurture your pets just as you would, Maria is the perfect choice.”
“Tatiana was amazing! She watched our very anxious dog for eight days and was exceptional. She was patient in letting our nervous pup get to know her over the first day or two and never pushed past her comfort zone. She sent constant updates with photos and videos, and they went on many beautiful walks and hikes. At the end of the eight days they were well bonded and we came home to a very happy dog! I would definitely rebook Tatiana in the future.”

“Donna Leigh was absolutely wonderful with our spoiled, demanding, sweet elderly fur baby Prince. Yes his name suits him lol. We would love to have her back in the future.”
“We were recommended Elizabeth from a friend and we absolutely loved her! She was very attentive and patient with our 4-month-old puppy who adored her. She stayed at our place over the weekend and was very self-sufficient. She was prompt, communication was clear, and we will definitely be hiring her again. We knew our puppy was in safe hands. Thanks Elizabeth!”

“Poppy had such a nice time playing frisbee, hide and go treat, and cuddling on the couch with Janaya. Janaya was responsible, communicative, clean and treated everything with care. Would definitely recommend her service to others.”
About: My inspiration to start dog walking/boarding came after my dog (Buddy), passed away in November of 2023. Not a day goes by without thinking of him and all the memories we made. After 16.5 years, he truly left a void in my heart. I currently volunteer my time as a dog walker at a dog sanctuary, which takes in rescue and surrendered dogs. This has provided me with extensive experience with many types of breeds and their unique behaviors. I know the feeling of trying to find a reliable dog sitter and how much your dog means to you, like buddy did to me. This is why I know I can offer the ultimate peace of mind and continuity in your dog's daily routine and lifestyle. I decided to use my experience and knowledge to provide the best service and level of care to other dogs, which ultimately fulfills my purpose and passion for dogs. My Services include the following: - Administer medication: I have experience administering topagen sprays, oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, changing bandages. - Bathing: I have a full-size bathtub and use Burt’s Bees Oatmeal Shampoo (recommended by vets). You can also provide your desired shampoo. - Boarding: Your dog will feel like home away from home in my care. I will ensure a continuity of their daily lifestyle and activities. - Emergencies: I have access to 3 major animal hospitals and a trusted vet in the event your dog needs medical attention - Peace of Mind: Updates with pictures, videos and facetiming to document all the fun your dog is having. This provides owners with peace of mind when their dog is in my care. *Special note: I am a Boutique Boarder. My boutique boarding service provides owners with exclusive level of care and the peace of mind knowing that their fur baby always has the time and attention they deserve! If you require anything further, please feel free to inquire! Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you! With a flexible work schedule, your fur baby will always be cared for at every moment of the of their stay, guaranteed continuity of their daily routine. I have a fully fenced backyard with 2 gates that are secured to ensure your fur baby can run and play safe and relieve themselves comfortably. Qualifications: - Certified PET Sitter - Currently enrolled in a dog training program (L.E.G.S.) that will enable me to train/sharpen any skills you are working on with your fur baby
“Lesley was wonderful with our senior pup and kept him so happy while we were out! She was through in understanding what he likes and doesn’t and ensured that he was content and well taken care of. We would love to have her back!”
About: Dogs aren’t just pets, they are family. They deserve to be treated with the same love and care you would give any other family member. I believe that the most important aspect is maintaining their happiness and well-being. As someone who’s loved dogs all their life, I’ve been able to care and act upon all their needs instantaneously. Growing up, I always enjoyed hanging out with neighbors and family friends that had pets. In times when they required someone to watch over their pet, I was there and I’ve done so on many occasions. From that experience, I was able to get my own family member and apply those skills on a daily basis. Rest assured, your furry family member will be in the best hands, treated with the same dedication and affection that you would provide. I look forward to meeting your beloved family member and giving them the love and care they deserve while you are away. Currently, I have full availability so I’m available to take care of your pets all days of the week. This includes all weekdays and weekends for all hours. I take care of my pets by playing and training/doing tricks with them indoors and outdoors. I take them on walks and can also provide frequent breaks by letting them out into the backyard which is fenced and contains a secure gate.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coleraine
We can’t say enough good things about Maryam’s cat sitting services. My partner and I hired her for a last-minute trip we decided to take, and we were so lucky that she was available. She promptly came to the house to meet our fur crew and took the time to ask thoughtful questions, jot down notes, and take photos so she could keep all of our instructions and details straight. It was clear right away how attentive and organized she is. During her visit she made sure to spend time playing with our high-energy girl, while also respecting the space of our other two cats. By her second visit they had already warmed up and came to her once she had earned their trust. Maryam kept up consistent communication, sent as many photos as we wanted, and followed our lead when it came to how much we preferred to check in while we were away. We also came home to a lovely note, beautiful handmade florals, and adorable kitty report cards (all glowing, of course 🤩). It was obvious she had genuinely spent time with our cats, because the little details she shared about each of them were spot-on. We felt completely comfortable having Maryam in our home and caring for our beloved cats while we were away. We’re already crossing our fingers that she’ll be available the next time we travel!

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 postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Coleraine 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Coleraine walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Coleraine 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
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.
