“Courtney was excellent with the dogs and taking care of the house. She actually put her sheets and towels into the laundry! I find her exceptionally responsible and recommend her highly.”

About: I have dog shelter experience from 2018 (for 1 year) and I've been volunteering at the SPCA in Dartmouth since January 2024. I'm trained to understand dogs behaviours and needs. I grew up with small breed dogs, but I have the time, patience, and energy to work with any breed. I have dog-sat for neighbours and family members over the years, and I regularly walk my neighbour's pitbull. I'm able to brush, trim nails, and administer medication by request. I'm self employed and make my own schedule. I usually only work 4-5 hours in the afternoons so I'm free most mornings and evenings to care for your pets! I will follow any rules and diet you have in place pertaining to your home and pets. Your privacy and your pet's well-being are always my top priority.
“Cleah did a great job taking care of my pug while I was away. She gave her lots of attention and exercise. Cleah even gave her a treat for her birthday. I never had to worry. I knew my dog was in good hands.”
“Samantha is a phenomenal sitter - our animals adore her and are so well cared for when she’s here. The house is immaculate when we come home and she was very flexible with our travel plans. Would absolutely book with Samantha again.”
“Sydney and her partner were amazing with Sophie, I can’t recommend them enough. Very reliable and went above and beyond expectations. Thanks so much!”
“Our pets loved Brianna! They had lots of love from her for a 2 week house stay. Our dog is large and she had no issues handling him. Our house was well cared for and she was very quick to reply. Highly recommend using her.”
“Avery was amazing!! She took care of our fur baby Milo for 7 days while we were away in Italy. It was the first time we were ever away from our boy. She would send daily photos of Milo and in every photo he looked calm and happy. Milo is a super anxious dog and I have to admit. I was concerned when I was leaving, but after day, one her picture in comments, I started to relax. I will definitely ask for Avery anytime that I need to have Milo taken care of, especially because she took care of him in our home which for her would have been different to begin with, but that did not deter her from making sure that he felt safe and loved! Thank you, Avery for everything that you did for us this past week, we really appreciate you!”
“Loren always takes such good care of our dog Georgia! Always great with updates and prompt to respond, I will absolutely recommend Loren to anyone!”
“Honestly could not recommended Keely enough! She stayed in our house for two weeks while we were out of the country and Marishka absolutely loved her! She sent us daily updates which I really appreciated and in every update Marishka looked happy and totally comfortable. She also left our house in a super clean condition which was lovely. Marishka is already looking forward to her next sit with Keely”
“Jaiden did an excellent job with Bucky! She took him for long walks and kept him happy while we were gone. She was flexible when we needed to extend our stay due to the weather. We would definitely book her again!!”
“Daniel & Marie looked after our pups for a week. Daniel jogged with our active Australian and cuddled with the other. We had no worries at all with them loving our furbabies while we were gone on vacation. Highly recommend.”
“Rylee has house sat for us several times and always does a great job. Our dog Huck is blind and needs medication twice a day, and our cat Ume is shy, but Rylee handles both of them really well. She's reliable, responsible, and we’re always confident everything’s in good hands when she’s here. Highly recommend.”
“Cristian did an amazing job caring for Ruby. He was keen and easy to communicate with. I got lots of updates and pictures. I would definitely recommend Cristian.”
“Benjamin , Was great . Having a dog with Pica , I was worried about leaving my dogs with someone. He asked questions to make sure he knows what our dog with Pica needed , our other dog and our cat . Will be re booking with him . He left our house clean . Would recommend him any day .”
“Candice took great care of my scaredy cat, Cobweb. When we met she was attentive to how to approach him, and she was communicative and sent videos of them playing and doing tricks! We are already booked again for another time that I’m away!”
“Zakia was a very responsible, attentive, and kind dog sitter to our sweet Ruby. Knowing Ruby is an active small dog, Zakia took the time to take Ruby on her favourite walks and explored green spaces and trails. Zakia and her partner made sure to send plenty of pictures and videos of Ruby and asked questions to clarify about her care instructions. Ruby loves to cuddle and stay close to people and Zakia didn’t shy away from providing a lot of attention. Our house was also well looked after and in the same condition as we left it——so nice to return to after being away for a week. I highly recommend considering Zakia as a dog sitter/house sitter for your loved pet.”

Keisha E.Star Sitter
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Keshia for several years, and I can confidently say that her dedication to the care and well-being of animals is unmatched. As a passionate animal lover and responsible pet owner, Keshia brings a wealth of experience and compassion to everything she does. She owns two cats, whom she adores and treats like family, and she also volunteers her time at the SPCA, where she helps care for animals in need and supports adoption efforts. Keshia is reliable, patient, and attentive—qualities that are essential in a trusted dog walker. Her calm and confident demeanor puts both pets and their owners at ease. She understands animal behavior and takes the time to ensure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog’s individual needs. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same care and respect she gives her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Keshia. Your furry companions will be in excellent hands.”

Dartmouth pet parents share their Rover experiences
Daniel and Marie are both lovely, caring humans who took excellent care of my little dog, Mimi! They came to meet her in advance (which I super appreciated!), sent me photo updates of how things were going, and overall took excellent care. Mimi is leash-reactive and they are experienced with this, and I had no concerns or worries at all leaving her in their care. She is an elderly rescue and can sometimes be quite timid with new people, but she was belly-up asking for scratches and belly rubs within minutes of getting to know them! I wouldn't hesitate to book them again :)
Signy has looked after our dog in our home multiple times. She was extremely professional and caring. Thanks to her, we had a lovely, stress-free vacation knowing our pup was in very good hands.
This was our first experience with Rover and Rhiannon made it such a seamless experience. She took wonderful care of our boy and provided lots of updates. Would definitely book again.
Brianna did a fantastic job sitting Turbo. He is still recovering from surgery, she was attentive, kind and intuned with his needs. I received thorough updates and the cutest pictures. Highly recommend!
This was our third time having Loren house sit our German Shepherd Frankie, and as usual she was amazing! She gave plenty of updates, helped administer ear drops and took great care of the house and the dog.
Cooper had a great time with Katrina. She provided daily updates and photos for us while we were away and left our home extremely tidy. 10/10 would absolutely have her sit for us again in the future.
Our pups were happy and healthy and already missing Kaela when we got home. That’s a 4 paws up review from them!
Rylee has house sat for us several times and always does a great job. Our dog Huck is blind and needs medication twice a day, and our cat Ume is shy, but Rylee handles both of them really well. She's reliable, responsible, and we’re always confident everything’s in good hands when she’s here. Highly recommend.
Lori was excellent, as always! The house was spotless when we came home and Pownal was relaxed. She gave him all the love he needs and we have zero complaints.
Robyn was perfect for our animal house, Kenny, Birch and Charlie! She was very reliable, friendly and kind! She kept me updated along the way with picture and an overview of the day. I would choose Robyn again and again if I could! Thank your!
Dana took such good care of my dog, sending me updates and the cutest photos. I felt like I could relax knowing he was in her care all weekend!
Emily has been fantastic with our cat. Great communication, and gives him lots of attention! Couldn’t recommend enough.
Hannah provided amazing care for our two large, rambunctious dogs and our cat while we were away for over a week. We came home to happy, tired dogs and a tidy house, which is all we could ask for and more! She was communicative, followed instructions, and sent lots of great pics which showed how happy our pets were with her. We would hire Hannah again in a heartbeat!
Allison is wonderful to work with, really responsive and goes above and beyond to look after the animals in her care. She’s calm and easy going, and we’re very happy to have found her!
Avery was awesome!! She provided feeding and care for my dog over a weekend trip I had planned. Very loving and friendly. Abby went for lots of walks and loved her being there. Highly recommend
Riley took excellent care of our senior cat, who can be a bit dramatic. Riley handled it with a smile. She gave meds twice a day and put up with all of our cat's talking. Riley sent updates and pictures multiple times a day and we felt very comfortable knowing kitty was with her. She stayed at our place. We would definitely use Riley's services again and recommend her. Thanks Riley!
Lucy was wonderful!! So sweet and good with Bilbo. Lots of update photos and Bilbo was so sleepy from all the fun :)
Zakia was great with our cat while we were on holiday for a week! She updated every day and our cat really warmed to her quickly. Felt really comfortable that she was left in good hands and would love to have Zakia cat-sit for us again :)
