Tara and Jason and their dog Stark were great looking after Wally. They sent lots of updates with pictures and videos. Wally got lots of walks, trips to the dog park and tummy rubs. Highly recommend them for pet sitting!

Ben is the best at what he does. We left our little Bo with him for a week and got constant updates of the daily adventures he would take the dogs on. Bo is a really anxious boy and it felt reassuring to know he was getting attention just as he would at home.. I think it also helped that Bens other dogs got along with him which made it easier for our Bo. HIGHLY recommend Ben. Will use his services in the future if needed. We really appreciated Ben for all he did

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!

Margaret did a great job caring for our Artie. She gave us updates on how he was doing and photos. Margaret was friendly and very accommodating. Artie was happy and energetic when we picked him up. We would happily have Margaret mind Artie again and recommend her to others.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.

Ash and Abhi hosted our high energy cattle dog for about 24 hours, and he had a great time. They took him on a long walk to tire him out, and shared a few photos to show he was happy and taken care of well. Thank you both so much!

I can’t say enough about Kara. I know when I leave Maggie with her, not only is she (Maggie) cared for the same way I do, but I know she settles in very quickly. Thank you so much, Kara. When I go away, I don’t worry in the slightest about my fur baby.

About: Walking dogs was my main part-time job all through elementary and highschool. Now I have a dog of my own so it has once again become part of my daily routine. Sunny and I are always looking for new friends so would be excited to meet your pup! I am a young professional working remotely in the environmental field. I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule to work in some pet care! I am an active person keen to get outside with your pet! I am responsive to pets needs whether that means a trip to the bathroom or a game of tug-of-war.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in East Lawrencetown on Rover is $54.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across East Lawrencetown. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their East Lawrencetown 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 East Lawrencetown

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.
