We’ve got a longer trip already booked with her and feel comforted to know our Frankie girl will be in good hands!”

By day, I am a Pharmacy Technician, which means I’m patient, empathetic, and have medical experience (I’m very comfortable administering medication and injections). I work full 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.
“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.”
About: I've grown up with dogs on and off, now my close friends have pups I care for on occasion. I have experience with pups with separation anxiety. I understand all dogs are different and have their own quirks. I do not have experience giving oral medication to dogs, however, I do have experience giving oral medication to cats. I am able to follow specific diets, I have experience with pets with food allergies. Let me help take some of the stress of leaving your dog behind away! I work from 8:30 until about 4 pm, Monday to Friday. This gives me a lot of time to care for your pet while you are away. My home is not dog friendly. I'm more than happy to pet sit in your home or stop in several times a day to walk your furbaby and let them burn some energy.
“Ellen was amazing with our dog Peter! She kept him active the whole time, sent us updates, and took the best care of him. Made the world of difference to know he was in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend Ellen to everyone!!!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter during our wedding! Cassandra and Mark took amazing care of our two dogs, Duke and Daisy, making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved throughout the day. They kept us updated with frequent check-ins, which gave us peace of mind while we enjoyed our special day. It's clear that they genuinely love animals and went above and beyond to ensure our pups were safe and content. We highly recommend Cassandra and Mark to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!”
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.
About: I have 12+ years experience with dogs. And I currently own a 1 year old Golden Retriever who also loves animals! I will ensure your pets are safely taken care of up to your standards. Most of my late Afternoons are free throughout the week, and have 1-2 days completely free to take care of any animal. I work as a Massage Therapist so I am usually busy 5-6 hours a day, 4-6 days a week. I live in a 24 hour secure extremely pet friendly building. There is plenty of space for your dog to walk, or to take breaks outside of my home. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Sara put our minds at ease knowing she was available to care for Reign. She updated me with pics and had excellent communication. It's a relief to know your pets are well cared for. Will 1000% book again.”
“We are so glad that Lynn came to spend a few days at our home with our pups while we were away. She was professional and just overall lovely! She sent regular updates and photos, and was quick to respond to messages. She not only took the best care of our pups, but also our home. We could tell how much she enjoyed herself and loved our pups. We look forward to having her over to spend time with them again!”

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
Rowan as usual was so attentive and caring with my two cats. The house was spotless when we came home and the kitties were well fed. She even sent pictures and videos of them eating and having treats. One of my cats is not familiar around people and didn't know how he was going to react, but he seemed so happy :) Thank you so much!
Signy did a great job dogsitting my two big sometimes nervous/reactive pups for a week while I was out of town. They seemed to love her, and were very happy pups when I got home. Signy was great with keeping me updated, and checking in about some minor stomach issues that cropped up with one of the pups while I was away. I also came home to a spotless house, which is always nice after being away! I will definitely be contacting Signy again next time I need a sitter.
As a new cat mom, I was nervous leaving our kitten. Zakia made it so much easier! Lots of updates and photos, and what I have come to realize is a lifetime of cat knowledge, as well. Wonderful experience (and came home to a clean place and freshly washed bedsheets too!). Highly recommend!
Eli was a wonderful house sitter We received regular updates of the dogs and cats and he even looked after some new born baby ducks which the mum rejected The house was clean and he also washed the bedding We would highly recommend Eli I would definitely recommend Eli as a house sitter

We could tell how much she enjoyed herself and loved our pups. We look forward to having her over to spend time with them again!
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 :)
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.
