“Julia was great! Kai was very nervous at first as he has a lot of separation anxiety, but Julia was very patient with him and kept me updated the entire time! She sent lots of pictures of how happy he was :) I will definitely be rebooking with Julia”
“Kathleen was so amazing and collaborative! Such great care for our girls and shared lots of photos so we could see they were well taken care of. We really appreciated the communication and flexibility!! She is awesome!”
“Louise was amazing minding our 2 dogs overnight at our home, we had a trip planned for months and a sitter let us down last minute. On short notice Louise cancelled her own social event to help us out! Moving forward she will be our go to sitter, best we have found on Rover to date.”
“Kris went above and beyond for my cat Lucy! Lucy has some medical needs, and sometimes I get nervous to leave her with others. Meeting with Kris reassured me that she knows her stuff (shes also a vet assistant) and her daily updates meant I could vacation stress free.”
“Kelsey was absolutely wonderful with Gertie. Photos and updates on how she was doing. My mind was at ease with Kelsey here for the 4 nights and the house was left in tip top shape. Thanks again!!”
“Ben watched our three dogs while we were away for a week. It's the first time we left them with someone who wasn't family and Ben was fantastic. Fast communication and tons of awesome pics showing us our dogs were having a great time and there was nothing to worry about. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook if we need a sitter again!”
“Cleah was once again a great sitter. Kali loves her and Cleah took wonderful care of both our dog and the house. It was spotless when we returned! A really wonderful dog walker/sitter - everything.”
“Greer was awesome with Teddy. She came to my home and took care of him while I was at work. She played with him and took him for walks. Greer was easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dog!”
About: Because I have a resident cat of my own, I exclusively accept cat guests to maintain a calm and safe environment. My home is completely cat-proofed, and I will make sure your kitty feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free during their stay I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to spend quality time with our guest cats. Since I love felines, I dedicate my routine to their care, ensuring they get fed on time, have clean litter boxes, and receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day. We have a resident cat at home, so we exclusively board cats. We have extra spare rooms available to provide a safe, quiet, and private space for your kitty to adjust comfortably. I always keep a close eye on their safety and ensure a stress-free environment during their stay.
“Lyne was amazing! She took great care of our dog and cats while we were away. We got lots of updates with pictures. When we came back, the house looked the exact same as we left it! This was our first time leaving our fur babies home on vacation and we very much appreciate the care she gave them and reassurance she gave us. We would definitely book her again!!”
“Morgan is an absolute sweetheart! She was kind, caring, thoughtful, patient, and a wonderful match for our pets. We were gone for 9 days and as this was our first time using Rover, there was some anxiety on our part. Morgan put our minds to rest. She was an extremely good listener and answered all our questions. Additionally, she kept in touch with us and even sent us photos of our fur babies! I highly recommend this lovely lady and hope to use her services again in the future if she is willing.”
“Barbara is a pure delight. I have never had anyone look after my house and cats and I heard about Rover. I saw Barbara's profile and I liked the fact she loves cats. Immediately any worries were eliminated when she arrived and we went over things and I was able to go away for a week and not worry about the cats or the house. She took wonderful care of everything and followed strict instructions about dietary needs, she's more of a cat expert than I am. I think my cats miss her! Lol. They got lots of attention if they wanted it. I would hire Barbara again in a heartbeat.”
“Hannah was wonderful in guiding us through our first Rover experience. We were nervous leaving our two dogs with someone other than family or close friends for the first time and Hannah reassured us every step of the way. She took the best care of our girls and updated us everyday with pictures. It is very apparent Hannah cares for the animals she looks after. She was professional and respectful of our home. We would not hesitate to book Hannah for our future dog sitting needs.”
About: Safety is my love language: safety that comes from structure, structure that is backed by deep philosophy and experience. Whether we're talking about emotional safety (a dog feeling secure and confident to interact with the outside world), or safety for other humans and other dogs, safety for me as a pet professional, and safety for the owners in the habits I'm encouraging the dog to inhabit, my service is based on safety above all because without safety none of us can thrive. I'm busy building a farm care business that expands across Canada. All my waking hours and some sleeping hours too are spent obsessing about pet care, as dogs form the center of this pet care philosophy. Continuing onwards in a concentric circle, cats are followed by other farm animals. When it comes to dogs, i work with treats to encourage a strong place command. Once the place command is clear, i know that any time the pup is off his cushion, it is time for a walk.
“Ilana stayed two nights with our pets and was great! We consider them our babies and were quite anxious to leave them and we received so many pictures and felt very comfortable leaving them for the weekend with her. We will book her again!”
About: Note: I am currently only available for longer term (1 month+) sits in Montreal, Toronto, and Halifax. I have a passion for pets and years of experience - I've had my own cats, dogs, and rodents, and done a lot of petsitting, including long-term sits abroad. I'm currently accepting longer term (1 month+) sits in Halifax, Montreal, and Toronto. I'll take care of your pet and home as if they were my own. I'm new to Rover so don't have reviews here yet, but am happy to share my profile on Trusted Housesitters and AirBnb and to provide references. Je parle français aussi! Y un poco de español :) I work from home so will be there most of the day to give your pets the company, attention, and care they deserve. I can accept pets for boarding who are able to be on their own or rest quietly while I am in online meetings. My schedule is variable and I can schedule walks/drop ins/care in morning, midday, or evening hours. I have a small backyard and enjoy going to for walks to the nearby parks and trails. I can board small sized dogs in my home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Lawrencetown
Sarah took great care of our girls! Our senior dog needs some patience and is sometimes suspicious of me people but she liked Sarah right away on the first meeting! Our younger dog was engaged and happy. She is higher energy and she has a great couple of days. Thanks Sarah!
Chloe took great care of our girls. When we arrived home after being away they were relaxed and happy, and completely unphased that we'd been away. Chloe's updates are fantastic! On top of keeping the girls exercised and well taken care of she takes great photos too!
Sarah and her daughter were absolutely wonderful caretakers for our golden retriever and cat during their 9-night stay. Communication was excellent—they kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pets received tons of attention, and our dog enjoyed his daily walks. We came home to happy animals and a well-cared-for home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Lawrencetown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Lawrencetown on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Lawrencetown 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.
Tip: 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 East Lawrencetown 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 East Lawrencetown 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 75% 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.
