Julia was amazing and can’t recommend her enough. We will defiantly book her again should we head out of town! We felt that our cat was in great hands (and the pictures prove it). Thank you!

About: A lifelong pet lover and former pet parent. I know them happy , safe and loved. I enjoy long walks, playtime, belly rubs and lots of cuddles. Currently working part time so I have lots of flexibility to look after your best friends needs. Weekends are wide open for care at this point. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as I would my own. Follow instructions for feeding, walks and medication, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, I grew up with dogs and cats always in the house. They became my best friends and as I got older I realized that nothing would make me happier then getting to work with animals everyday. I started my own dog walking and sitting business when I was 18. I ran this for several years, earning the trust of countless people to enter their homes and care for their animals. Now 10 years later I have decided to get back into pet care. I am so excited to meet you and your pets! I know we will get along great. I have been working as a Registered Massage Therapist for the last 3 years but recently I have been experiencing pain due to the nature of my work. So I am stepping away from massage to focus back in on pet care as a full time passion. So I have plenty of time through the days evenings and weekends for whatever pet care services you require. My animals have always been treated like my children and your animals would be no exception to this. I look forward to learning their unique needs and the best ways to connect with them.

About: Hello, thank you for taking a look at my profile! If you are looking for someone who is responsible, knowledgeable, honest, compassionate and Pet First Aid certified to look after your pets, please continue reading and send me a message. I can’t wait for us to get to know each other better! My name is Chloe, and I would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have three dogs of my own, a 5 year old Border Collie (Brady), a 4 year old Border Collie (Poppy) and a 4 year old Australian Cattle Dog (Quinn), and I frequently walk/board over 50 dogs (not at the same time lol). I am always looking for more clients, the more doggy friends the better :) I used to work at two popular doggy daycares in Dartmouth, NS. At the daycares I would have many dogs of all different sizes and personalities in my care. Sometimes the numbers of pups in my care could even reach 100 on a single day! The dogs currently in my care range from tiny Boston Terriers, to Greyhounds and 100 lbs Bernadoodles! So it’s safe to say I’ve got tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds and reactivity levels. I am currently not offering boarding at my home, but I can come and stay at your home and provide the best in-home boarding services around! At home is where your pets are most comfortable and I want to help them have a fun filled stress free time while you are away. I love being active and can adapt to any pups lifestyle. Do they need a longer hike at a nearby trail? A short stroll around the neighbourhood? Want to play fetch in their backyard or a nearby fenced in field? Go for a run at the beach? You can count on me to give your pup the best time. I offer more than what is listed here on Rover, so if you’d like to know more please don’t hesitate to send me a message! Thank you, I can’t wait to hear from you! 🐾 Everything I do everyday is focused on my pet care business. I am 100% committed to giving your pet(s) the best care and attention possible. When I stay at someone’s home to take care of their pets, I adapt to that pups lifestyle to give them the best personalized in-home boarding experience. Whether it is a senior dog who only needs 1 or 2 short walks and then wants to cuddle all day, or an energetic younger dog who needs multiple hours of exercise every day. I love to hike on trails that aren’t well known so we don’t run into other people and dogs, I love to go to the beach! I even take the dogs I’m with to run errands with me if that’s something they enjoy. Because I do this full time, your dog will rarely have to be left home alone. (As long as they are good with other dogs) Otherwise the longest they would be alone is 7 hours, but I can provide drop in visits / walks for them to break up that time.

About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and commitment to following your pet's routine. I have two cats, one of whom has asthma and requires an inhaler twice a day, so I'm comfortable administering medication and keeping a close eye on pets' health and well-being. I also grew up with dogs and have experience caring for a variety of personalities and energy levels. As a CPA, I'm organized, dependable, and take responsibility seriously. You can trust that I'll follow your instructions carefully, show up when expected, and provide updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I have two cats of my own, including one who requires daily medication, so feeding, monitoring health needs, and sticking to routines are things I do every day. Adding dog walks and drop-in visits to my week is something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time with animals and understand how important it is for pets to have consistent, reliable care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. During visits, I'll make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean up any messes, provide playtime and attention, and monitor their overall well-being. For dog walks, I'll tailor the pace and length of the walk to your dog's age, energy level, and needs. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you're away.

About: I have 10+ years experience with dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for 8 months, have read many training books and am very patient. I have a 12 year old pomeranian, a 4 year old Australian Shepherd and a 1 year old Siberian Husky. We enjoy walking and hiking together quite often. I love high energy dogs that help me to stay active. I love teaching tricks and walking the beach. I'd be happy to help you and your fur babies out any way I can whether it be with training, reactivity issues or just general care. Dogs with special needs are not an issue. I can administer medications and am trained in pet first aid. I am affectionate toward any dog and try my best to ease into new experiences for them. I am learning to deal with forms of aggression in dogs. I understand how hard it is to find a trustworthy person to care for your family member. I treat dogs like I would treat my friends. I love dog kisses and cuddles too. I am currently working part time and would love to help you out with dog walking/jogging needs or even with house calls for pet feedings, administering medications or even puppy pee breaks. I treats my own dogs like babies. They are generally spoiled! I will treat your dogs as if they were a part of my family. I follow any specific instructions you have very carefully and make sure that your pet receives the absolute best care.

Brooklynn is amazing! You can tell how much she likes doggies. Rusty knows the time of his walks and he gets really excited to go. Brooklynn has been great helping us with Rusty’s walk after his lunch, we know he is being taking care off and she tells us about his little progress every day. Definitely recommended.

First time using Rover. Wasnt sure at first if it was legit. Sanjana eased our minds and she was excellent. She took very good care of our 2 cats. She kept in contact every day while we were away, and sent pictures. She responded quickly when we reached out to her and she asked questions when needed. We highly recommend Sanjana to pet sit for anyone in need.

About: I am a life long animal lover who currently has a dog, Olive, and a cat, Feta (can you tell my better half is Greek?!) I am available for drop ins and walks- with or without my pup Olive. Whatever is best for your dog. I love to go hiking and can take your dog on or off leash in lots of beautiful trails around HRM.

I am currently on maternity leave and so I have lots of availability. If it’s a weekday I will bring along my 9 month old in her carrier. On evening and weekends I will come alone. I have used rover both as a dog walker and as a dog owner. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I will take care of your pets as I would my own.

About: Hi, I love caring for dogs while their owners are at work/vacation and sharing pictures of their day with their family with regular check ins. Im home 24/7 so will be able to spend time with your pets all day if they wish! I’m available for extended house sits. I love to help out and have the family relax while they are away. Communication is important to me and I don’t mind answering all the little questions. I can help with basic training, puppy raising and setting strong foundations for a happy, healthy family pet member of the household. If you’re not looking for basic training but just to make sure your dog has a great vacation while you are away that’s great too! Monitoring Canine Body language is very important to me as well as positive and force free techniques for training and husbandry. I have a 6 year old chill Shiba Inu, Pixel, but our pets can be separated with double gates if preferred, but he does get along with all properly introduced dogs. I do agility, confirmation (dog shows), nosework and trick training with Pixel. I love the challenge in building a trusting and fun relationship with a primitive breed. I am an experienced raw feeder and happy to feed any food of your choice. Please feel free to message with any questions you may have, looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I’m available 24/7 so am able to keep to any scheduling your pet needs. Medications, walks, meals can be set to your schedule always. Please let me know if any special requests. I like to keep to your family’s schedule while I’m caring for your pets. Walk at 5am? No problem! 4 walks a day? No problem. Just let me know your preferences. I also like to provide picture updates regularly and do not mind if you message me a lot while you miss your pet, I would too!

Taylor D. was a best friend to our 18 year old cat Lucy while we attended our daughter’s out of town wedding. She fulfilled all Lucy’s quirky needs and reported back to us after each visit. The proof of Taylor’s care was in how unstressed Lucy was when we returned home. I highly recommend Taylor to give you peace of mind while caring for your cat while you’re away.

Taylor was fantastic! She was very professional and caring with our boy Butters. We were anxious to leave him, but Taylor immediately put us at ease with her calm and friendly demeanor. Throughout the stay, she was attentive, communicative, and made sure we knew Butters was in great hands. We truly appreciated the updates and photos, which made all the difference. We would highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - East Lawrencetown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in East Lawrencetown on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 460 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in East Lawrencetown. About 84% of East Lawrencetown sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a East Lawrencetown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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!

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 81% 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.
