“Brittany was awesome! We drove down from Ottawa for a festival and left Rufus for 4 nights and he had a blast. She has a big yard on a dead end street which is great for dogs!”
“Dawn did a great job with my two girls. She was willing to have two meet and greets before staying with them for a couple of nights and both dogs were extremely comfortable with her when I left them. Lots of updates provided while Dawn was with them, and could tell the dogs were happy and looked after. I was extremely pleased and have already booked Dawn again!”
“Brianne was great with my pets! She agreed to a meet and greet beforehand, and was clearly comfortable with my large, energetic dogs. She was easy to communicate with and provided picture updates throughout her stay. She took my dogs for long walks which I appreciated for keeping them on their normal activity routine. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
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.
“Courtney was wonderful with our golden and our cat. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures which put us at ease while we were away from them. She also stayed with them an extra day when our flight home got cancelled. Extremely grateful for her flexibility, communication, and kindness when caring for our fur-babies. I highly recommend her if you need a great pet sitter.”
About: I’ve raised three well behaved dogs with lots of love. I understand that every dog has a unique personality. I adapt to their needs and care for them like family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available Mondays and Fridays from 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on weekends starting at 1:30 p.m. During that time, I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime with your pet! I create a safe, calm and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed) and plenty of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Elinor did a great job housesitting our nervous/reactive pup - they sent us frequent updates and pics and kept our house in really great shape as well which we really appreciate. highly recommended!”
About: Highly experienced and loving pet owner providing care in my home or yours. Experienced with newborn kittens/ puppies to seniors and everything in between, including special needs. Experienced with small caged animals as well such as snakes, bearded dragons, rats, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds. I mostly work from home so I am available to provide your fur baby a ton of love and attention as if they were my own. We have a well mannered rescue LabxBully cross who’s friendly but can be secured if a pet is coming in that is not dog friendly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fredericton
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%
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
