“Natalie was great with my new, very shy cat! He usually hides from strangers, but came out for pets and cuddles both days! She is officially his favourite person! It’s possible he likes her more than me! 😆 Highly recommend Natalie!”

“Thank you so much for taking the best care of Nala and the lovely updates with photos! Highly appreciate you jumping in so last minute too, would recommend Cassandra to look after anyone’s furry four-legged babies any time.”

Ellen S.

“She is a warm-hearted, attentive, and incredibly patient person. Her genuine care for animals is evident in everything she does. She is always gentle and observant, noticing even the smallest changes and responding with thoughtful care. Her kindness and calm demeanor make her a comforting presence for any pet. She truly treats animals with love, respect, and compassion.Will definitely be looking forYue‘s help again！！”

About: From caring for pets with hip dysplasia, diabetes, strict diets, or just quirky personalities! I’ve had my share of experiences, and I have learned the following: staying calm, remembering to laugh, and an extra treat can go a long way. In my care, your pet will have undivided attention and fun, get lots of love and tummy rubs, and probably listen to me vent about life (what are friends for right?) I’m currently a student at Dalhousie completing an honours in Neuroscience (another thing your pet will have to listen to). My lab work is quite flexible and can be scheduled around the care your pet requires. When I am in your home I care for your pet how you would if you were there. Tell me what do to make your pet the happiest and more comfortable they can be!

“Keely was amazing with our cat, Ghost. She was super accommodating and provided great updates! Will definitely reach out again if we need someone to check in on Ghost!”

“Emily was great! She looked after our kitty very well and sent us lots of adorable updates (she's a pretty skilled photographer too it seems).”

Thomas S.

“Dakota was great. Did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. He sent pictures and notes everyday about how they were doing, which was very reassuring while away.”

“Samantha is lovely and very responsive! My cat Bubs was well cared for over two days. Bubs seemed happy and at ease, and I appreciated all the cute update photos from snuggle/play time. Thanks so much!”

About: I have had a special place in my heart for animals of all kind my whole life. I have a dog and three cats of my own and I have dogsat for friends and family on many occasions for prolonged periods. I work part time but I have the time to give your pet quality time and attention, walks, bathroom breaks, and whatever other special care they might need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and kitties of all attitudes. I will make sure your pet is cared for in the way that they’re used to being cared for so they feel comfortable and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Im a fun loving, friendly and enthusiastic about animals and I’m here for all your pet needs! I have owned dogs ever since I was little and love playing, training and caring for them! I have pet first aid, and have worked in doggy day cares in the past. I have no issues following your guidelines or rules you have set for your pet, and I will make sure your pet will always be happy and comfortable! I love walking and hiking, so if you have a dog, I don't mind taking them on an adventure :) I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home, and my school is flexible. I routinely walk my dog in the morning and afternoon, and go on hikes on the weekend. I'm patient and understanding and do not get flustered or frustrated easily. I own a 5 year old lab mix, who is very friendly and loving towards other dogs and people! He has no issues walking or playing with other dogs, but he can also be excluded if necessary.

About: Hey there! 🐾 I am a true animal lover, with a soft spot for all creatures. I have a dog named Rooney and a cat named Wally who are both super friendly and playful! I am always the family member/friend who is called on to dog/cat sit so I figured, why not try rover and do it for the people in my community too! I love to go on off leash dog walks in trails, so if your puppy is social and loves a dog trail park, I am your gal! I love getting to know new animals and their personalities and I can't wait to meet your furry friend and provide the love and care they deserve! I have an open schedule! I am a recent graduate from Saint Mary’s University, looking to fill my extra time by caring for friendly animals! I can accommodate any routines that your pet requires! If you furry friend has a specific diet or medication routine, I will make sure they receive the special love and care they need! ❤️

About: Hi, I’m Ashlyn! I work for the school district and I’m off for the summer — which means I’ve got lots of time, energy, and love to give to your pets! I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life and truly adore all animals. I love being outside, going for walks, and spending time with furry companions. Whether your pet needs a calm, comforting visit or an energetic walk, I’m here to help. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Like previously mentioned, I have got lots of time on my hands being off for the summer. I am available from 8 AM- 8 PM. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each animal’s unique needs and routines, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully to make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in safe, loving hands.

About: GET TO KNOW US: Gary and I have taken care of many pets various sizes over the past 10 years from as small as Guinea pigs to Newfoundland dogs. I love taking them for walks, teaching them new tricks or giving them a luxurious spa day! I’ve trained multiple puppies and kittens over the years and have cared to senior foster dogs administering oral medicine. OUR HOME: Rover pups staying in our home are welcome to any of the common living areas. Our backyard is another area we spend lots of time in. It's entirely fenced in/secure, Our yard is well maintained for lots of safe outside playtime. SIZES & BREEDS: All breeds big and small are welcome in our home. We have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. We can make sure all your pet's personal needs are met during their stay with us. MEDICATIONS & SPECIAL NEEDS: We are both very experienced when it comes to administering medicine to pets. It is very important to give us detailed instructions on your pet's medication dosages and times. PUPPIES & POTTY TRAINING: We are very comfortable with caring for puppies (only weeks old). We have extensive experience with potty training and basic commands. DAILY UPDATES: We make sure to send daily updates of your pet via pictures and videos on the Rover app. We send at least a couple of updates a day but you can always ask for more! HOME SECURITY: We have a home security system with cameras indoors/outdoors that help us keep an eye on your pets even while we are sleeping or running out for a quick errand. OUR GUARANTEE: Kisses, hugs, and treats are always free here! We treat every pet as if they were our fur baby. Being this is our full-time job our top priority is making sure you and your pets are comfortable, happy, well cared for, and fully satisfied with our service. All we ask for in return is a great review at the end of your stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SERVICES DOG BOARDING: In our home means you will drop your dog(s) off at a previously discussed time at our home address. It is important to be punctual for your drop-off and pick-up times, as we are accommodating others. This helps everyone stay on schedule. If for some reason you cannot be on time let us know as early as possible to reschedule your time slot. They will stay with us the duration you are gone in our home until you come to pick them up at a time convenient for you. Again, punctuality is important! We are flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times but ask that they be at a reasonable hour. (anytime between 6 AM and 9 PM). DOGGY DAYCARE: Service where you drop your dog(s) off for the day in our home anytime between 6 am-7 pm. DROP-IN VISITS: When we stop by your home address to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. These visits are usually about 30-60 minutes long. We can stop in up to four times per day at any time needed between 8 am-9 pm. HOUSE SITTING: Would entail us staying in your home overnight for 10 hours (example: 10 pm-8 am) with your pet(s). This service includes TWO 30-40 minute daytime Stop-In Visits per booked overnight (usually around 12 pm and 5 pm). These stop-in visits would include feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks. We will also take care of watering your plants, bringing in your mail, and putting out your trash cans for pickup if you’d like. MEET & GREETS: When we meet with you and your pets, either in our home (boarding & daycare) or in your home (stop-ins, walks, house sitting) for about 15-20 minutes. During meetups, in our home, you can see where your pup(s) will be staying and let them explore a bit so they are familiar with our home before their stay. This is a great time to go over their needs & any questions you may have. We typically have other Rover guests staying in our home during meetup times. We have our current guests play outside during our meet and greet time inside the home. We will trade places with them during our house tour so you and your dog(s) will be able to check out our backyard space as well (pending weather). We do not allow our current Rover stays/pets to meet with new clients during the meet and greets for safety reasons. You may book a daycare day on our upcoming calendar to see how our process works before your longer booking takes place if you'd like. After dropping your pet off for their stay with us, we will introduce them to our other Rover stays as well as our pets one at a time. This keeps the environment calm and controlled so everyone has the best experience meeting one another for the first time. Dogs must be at ease when meeting off-leash. We will get videos & photos to you shortly after you leave to share how much fun they are having with their new fur friends! DROP-OFFS/PICK-UPS: Our drop-off and pick-up times are anytime between 8 am-9 pm. For drop-offs/pick-ups, we ask that you park in our driveway and send a message upon arrival. We will come out and help unload their belongings (food bins, bags, blankets, etc). Once you leave we bring your dog(s) to the backyard area first to sniff and use the potty. Then we bring them inside to meet the other fur friends one at a time. Gary and I have a lot of experience introducing dogs to the 'pack' to make sure it goes smoothly and they can get to know each other right away. BATH ADD-ON: If you would like your pup to come home squeaky clean after their fun doggie vacay at our house, you can add on a bath for them before pickup! Bath time would include an all-over warm water rinse in our stand-up shower followed by a scrub. Then we'll towel/blow dry them off as well as a good brush and get them ready to head home. **Please note, we do not offer full grooming - haircuts, clippings, styling.** we can offer nail clippings as well. Im currently working part time from home so I’ll have lots of time to take care of your companion. My partner gary is at home full time with the pets as well. We try to keep most pets schedules the same as they have at home. I have a fenced in back yard that is huge, great to get all the zoomies out! I also own a 4lbs Maltese who is 2 years old, she is super friendly. Dogs can go on couches or sleep on the bed. If they have special requirements or need to be crated that can be accommodated. I have multiple rooms in the house as well to ensure a comfortable stay.

“Shae is wonderful! I would definitely recommend her to anyone with fur babies! Thank you for all your help Shae! Will definitely re-book with you when I need a sitter! ☺️”

About: I grew up always having cats and dogs. Since I work from home, and love pets, Rover has been a good way to care for pets and give them companion when their humans are away. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am comfortable providing oral medication. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible. I may have a few meetings throughout the day that will make me unavailable for 15 min - 1 hour at a time. Otherwise, I am generally available to tend to needs at any time. I am open and flexible to keeping a similar routine the pet is used to. Ie. Meal times, crate time, on or off furniture, etc. In my home, I have 1 cat. I would prefer a dog that is already good with cats, however, if you're not sure, I have a gate set up to allow separation (she usually stays up on a cat tree and just watches the dogs anyways)

About: I have always had animals at home and treat them as my babies. I used to foster with the SPCA in Edmonton and Dartmouth and starting house/pet sitting at the age of 12. I am currently working full time, but have flexibility to check on pets throughout the day. My husband comes home at lunch to let the dog out and play with her. We are able to have pets for any length of time. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. Also able to provide a separate space for your pet if thats what they are used to( another level of our house).

“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Kiki while we were away. She provided detailed information about how Kiki was doing and sent lots of pictures! It was such a relief to know Kiki was being so well looked after.”
