“Erika did an amazing job looking after our girl. Taking her on walks, feeding her, snuggle time and providing us with regular updates. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Dawn is just an absolute sweetheart. I do not go away without my little chihuahua very often and he is used to being with me all the time. It is very difficult to have to leave him but, Dawn truly put my mind at ease. She came to my house for the initial meet and greet and also took the time to come over again a couple of days before I was leaving to go over last minute things and spend time with Bruce (my dog). She is so kind and caring and gave Bruce lots of extra love and attention when she saw that he was out of sorts after I left. But, it didn't take long for him to warm up to her! She was sending the cutest pictures everyday throughtout the day. I didn't have a worry at all seeing how much fun he was having with her. Dawn followed all of the instructions for Bruce and just treated him with such love and care. She was at the house when I returned home waiting with Bruce and it was so nice to come home to a very excited, happy dog and a big smile 🙂 The house was left very clean and tidy and I truly appreciate Dawn for everything she did. She is an 11 out of 10. Thank you so much Dawn!!”
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.
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!
“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!”
“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 grew up in a multi-dog household since childhood and have raised my own dogs from puppy through to senior. I have an appreciation for the unique needs of all ages of dogs and would be happy to provide! I’ve taken courses on canine rehabilitation from the Animal Rehab Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. While I’m not currently treating dogs in practice, I have extra background knowledge on the needs of a canine patient and common ailments of different breeds. I’m currently working Monday through Friday with most availability on weekends, although feel free to ask if you need another day of the week covered. I have experience in crate training and strongly believe in the value of consistency in training skills and manners, all while having a great deal of love and affection for all dogs. I live an active lifestyle and am comfortable with whichever harness, collar, leash combination your dog uses.
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: I’m a lifelong dog owner that absolutely loves animals, and gets so much joy from being around them. I have raised dogs from puppies into their senior years, and also have significant experience with brachycephalic dogs. I’ve owned Frenchies, a Boston and a Boxer, so I’m incredibly familiar with the additional care these breeds might require. From eye drops to ear drops to pills to medicated baths, you can trust that I’ll take care of your pup as if they were my own. My boy, Wilbur, passed away last year and while I’m not ready to get another pet, I’d love to take care of yours. I do work full time with a required in-office presence, so I leave home around 6:30 am and return by 3:30 pm. I’m generally more of a homebody - my evenings and weekends are spent reading, watching tv, going for walks, and enjoying the occasional trip to the beach. Since I am a relatively quiet person, I take pride in creating an environment that is calm and comforting. While being in someone’s home I think it is critical to respect that I’m in someone else’s space, and maintain routines that your pet is used to. I want to ensure that their life is disrupted as little as possible.
“Madeline did a great job looking after our pets and our home. The house was neat and tidy when we returned and the boys were clearly well fed and looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“This is my first time trusting anyone other than family to look after my dogs and I'm so glad I chose Kelsey to do so! She took such good care of my two dogs and also of my apartment. It was such a good feeling knowing they were in good hands with her, and she provided lots of photo updates. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her the next time I need a dog sitter! I highly recommend booking with her :)”
“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!”
“Great sitter. Very flexible as my dates actively changed during the stay and he was able to meet those changes. Have medicine to my cat on time and updateded me the whole time . Communication was great . Highly recommend”
About: I have been providing in your own home pet care, full time, for the past 9 years. I have a lot of experience administering medication, whether it be orally or by injection. They say you won’t work a day if you’re doing something that you love… I haven’t worked in 9 years! My love of animals goes back as far as I can remember. I am so grateful that my clients trust me with their pets. I love and treat them the same as I do my own. I love all animals, but will admit I have a soft spot for the sugar faces! Pet sitting is my full time job. I can usually accommodate any special requests that you might have. I would be available different times of the day if your pet requires medication. I will move right into your home while you travel. I will come and go the same as you would. I keep your pets routine as close to normal as possible. If they sleep in bed with you, they sleep in bed with me!
“Patrick came and stayed at our house recently for 3 nights. He took wonderful care of our 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Finn is a handful by time and Patrick wasn't fazed by him in the least. They enjoyed a couple of long walks and several short ones each day dispite the wet weather. Much to my surprise, Patrick even tidied up the house before he left. Don't hesitate to have Patrick look after or help out with your beloved pet.”
About: I have two years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats at an animal shelter. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning kennels, monitoring behaviour, supporting medication routines, and caring for puppies, seniors, and nervous animals. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. My availability varies throughout the week, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents can see when I am available. I can provide scheduled walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and communicate promptly if there are any changes or concerns.ɓ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully. Before each walk, I check the leash, collar, or harness and stay alert to traffic, unfamiliar animals, and escape risks. I maintain a clean environment, respect clients’ homes, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are safe
About: I've house sat and provided care for animals since high school. I am not afraid to put in the work and ensure that your pets are provided the best care. I am comfortable with providing oral medications, however I am not able to give injections. I am currently working full-time Monday-Friday. I will be able to check in on animals, walk them, etc after 4;30pm. I am also free every weekend for house sitting. I have a large back yard with an outside lead that holds my German Shepherd when playing outside. I will care for your beloved pet in your home following all your wants and needs.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fredericton is $55
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.
After meeting Jessica and introducing her to our cat, we were able to go on our holiday confident that Jessica would look after our cat and our home with care. She is a responsible and diligent pet sitter; the cat was clearly well looked after. We would definitely recommend her to others.

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

As of September 2026, there are 39 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fredericton. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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, 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. 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.
