“Valeria did an amazing job with Carly and Ollie. She is great with daily pictures and descriptions of what they did that day and how everything’s going. She went above and beyond coming back to check on them when I was going to be home later than intended. I would recommended her 100%”
About: I have a lot of patience with dogs, I consider them great potential friends. I have 2 dogs and we walk several times a day with no problem. I like give them a good time walking and smelling, so after that they can feel more relaxed. I’m a Graphic Designer and I work independently, so I can manage my own time. This allows me to spend part of my daily time with dogs. I have two friendly dogs, they enjoy the company of other dogs. But anyway for now, I’m taking care of dogs out of my house.
About: I've cared for my senior tripawd Charlee for 13 years now. I'm comfortable managing special diets and medications, and I've cared for dogs post surgery. I regularly watch friends' large dogs I have a dog and 2 cats who all require special diets and medication. My dog gets walked minimum 3x/day for 15-30 minutes, with longer weekend walks. I play with my cats daily to give them adequate enrichment. I have a fenced in yard suitable for a small or medium-sized dog and a friendly small senior dog. I have the ability to care for dogs in a part of my home that is separate from my 2 cats, who get scared of larger dogs. I have a crash-tested dog seat belt in my car
About: I understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog behind when work, travel, vacations or everyday responsibilities come up. Your dog is part of your family and you want to know they are receiving attention, exercise, companionship and genuine care while you are away. My approach is simple: I treat every dog as an individual and make their comforts and happiness a priority. I take time to understand their personality, routines, energy level, walking preferences and any behaviour or special instructions that are important to their care. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime, companionship while you’re at work or a calm, comfortable presence while you are travelling, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day and I also make it a habit to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is doing fine. I work from home more than half the time so my schedule gives me a lot of flexibility when caring for pets. When I’m working from home, your dog can stay with me throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m able to take breaks for walks, potty breaks, playtime and attention while continuing with my work. For longer stays, I can maintain a consistent routine around your dog’s normal feeding, walking and rest schedule. I offer services like dog walking, potty breaks, in- home visits/ care, doggy day care and even overnight stays. My home is spacious with a backyard and more than enough space for your dog to move around and there’s also a nice long walking trail close by as well as park. Your pet will be allowed full access around the house regardless of whether I am at home or not
About: I have years of experience since a young age and am still growing now! We have a 7 yr old emotional support dog at home who’s a shitzhu. We also have 2 cats. I wouldn’t change it for the world. They are my friends, family and companions. I work odd hours however have lots of free time available. I can always check on your furry friends before or after work or days off. Also my girlfriend will be available to stop in when I can’t and would be happy to meet you as well! Thank you :) I care for my pets as if they are family and give them all the love they deserve. Feeding, Watering , Walking , Traininig etc. They deserve to be treated just like our babies.
About: Hi! I'm a law student and lifelong animal lover who can't have a pet of my own right now—so I'd love to spoil yours instead! 🐾 I grew up with three Labrador Retrievers, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to big, energetic breeds. I've also cared for puppies (including a couple mischievously cute chocolate Labs!) and have been a live in cat sitter for the past two summers, looking after the same kitties for up to 5 weeks at a time. I'm an active person who loves walking and running, so whether your dog is happiest sniffing every tree or needs a good adventure to burn off some energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I know every pet has their own personality, and I'll make sure yours gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you're away. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! As a law student, my schedule is flexible enough to fit pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I enjoy planning my day around the pets I’m looking after. Spending time with animals is always the highlight of my day, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I know pets are the happiest when they can stick to a routine, so I do my best to care for them as you would when you are away. I’ll follow instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications(if needed), playtime, or cuddle time. As well as making sure your pet gets all the attention and love they deserve, I will keep your home tidy and secure, and send regular photos and video updates so you can relax knowing they are happy and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a variety of furry and feathered friends. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience fostering dogs, cats, ducks, and birds, giving them a safe, loving, and comfortable home while they needed extra care. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of love, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’m also comfortable caring for animals who may need a little extra patience and attention, including puppies and senior pets. For me, pet sitting is more than simply looking after an animal—it’s about making them feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. I have an online job, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be around throughout the day. This means I can give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and needs, whether they need regular walks, meals at specific times, extra attention, or simply some company throughout the day. I also have availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling to make things easier for pet parents. When caring for pets in their home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable and maintain their usual routine as much as possible. I follow the pet parent’s instructions for meals, walks, playtime, medication, and any other specific needs. I give pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while also respecting their space and personality. I’m happy to spend extra time with them so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. I also treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure pets are safe and comfortable, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fredericton
Emma's great and I highly recommend! She met my two dogs before watching them for the weekend and they quickly warmed up to her. You can tell she's an animal lover. Emma was very responsive and sent updates, which were greatly appreciated because whenever I'm gone, my fur babies are always on my mind. Thanks for giving them lots of snuggles and playtime!
Sarah was great! She accepted my last minute request, met me and the pets for a Meet and Greet beforehand, and was easy to communicate with throughout the service. She left the house clean and tidy, and the pets seemed happy to have her stay with them. She sent photo updates, and took my energetic dogs for long walks which was appreciated to keep them in their normal routine. Would definitely book her again!
Jenna did a great job caring for our two dogs and our three cats. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about ensuring that all of them were comfortable and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We’ll definitely be repeat customers and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fredericton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fredericton 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 Fredericton 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, a background 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
