“Lorri was great! She gave regular updates and photos. She did everything that was asked and even vacuumed up around the litter box area. I would definitely work with Lori again!”

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life and have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 13. From kittens to big cats and chihuahuas to retrievers with various personalities. My corgi was elderly and had hip issues so she struggled with walking, so with proper instructions, I’m good with senior or disabled pets. I’m currently working so I’m available at various times in the morning and in the evening on most days. Ask me when I’m free, and we will find a time that works! I always find it important to figure out an animals personality before deciding anything, and pet parents input is always l very helpful. Depending on the service, I’ll find a way to make your pet as comfortable as possible.

I'm open to walks, long or short. In house watches for cats, dogs, and maybe other pets, shoot me a text! I'll make sure your babies are safe.
“Naomi was attentive to the cats' needs, did everything we asked of her, and took time to play and engage with the cats. She is a great communicator and gave daily updates :)”
“Keisha took amazing care of my cat Jack while I was away for a week. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept everything clean and tidy, and most importantly, Jack was calm and happy when I got home. She also sent great pictures throughout the week, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell he was well looked after! I’d absolutely trust Keisha to cat sit again. Highly recommend! 🐾”

I’ve also cared for a dog with serious health issues, in my own Home at a vet clinic and at animal shelters. so I’m comfortable paying close attention to their needs and noticing when something seems off. I’m happy to go for walks, play, cuddle, or simply keep your dog company! I work a 9 to 5 during the week, but I’m happy to care for your pets after work and have plenty of availability on weekends.

“Julia did daily check-in with our two cats while we were away for two weeks. Julia did a wonderful job updating us daily with pics and notes on how the cats were doing. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Julia was there. I highly recommend Julia to care for your pets. I look forward to Julia caring for our cats again.”

About: When your fuzzbud comes to stay with my partner Patrick and I, they enjoy fresh ocean air, playtime, warmth and companionship. I work from home Tues/Thurs, and am just a short 3 min drive away M/W/F. On those days, Pat comes home for a lunch time walk between 11am-12pm. We live in a cozy bungalow on a quiet street, just steps from the ocean and close to wooded trails. We have an unfenced forested area in the back with a secure long leash setup for quick breaks, and we love getting outside for walks and little adventures. If you’re travelling, we’d love to be your pet’s home away from home. You can expect lots of care, affection, patience, and calm, attentive energy - so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is in good hands. ❤️ I can be available during the work week (with drop-off before 8:30am). I teach online classes at home during the day Tues/Thursday, but can always offer an early morning/lunch break walk, afternoon yard breaks, and a longer 4:30 trail walk. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and welcoming home environment. Feel free to drop your pet off for an overnight stay, or book them in for longer while you travel worry-free!! I can also do house checks or evening walks!
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 15 and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two Dachshunds, who are now 15 years old and live with my father.

Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, medications if needed, or plenty of love and companionship, I'll follow your dog's routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away I currently work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the occasional Thursday or Friday. On my days off, I'm fully available to provide your pet with the time, attention, and care they deserve. I'm happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, and I'll always communicate my availability clearly so you know your pet is in reliable, caring hands I understand how important it is to know your pet and home are in good hands. I'll follow your instructions closely, care for your pet as if they were my own, and treat your home with respect. You'll receive regular updates so you can enjoy your time away without worrying.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Halifax
We tried Zoe for the first time and we're so glad we did!! From the meet and greet, it was clear she really cares. She asked thoughtful questions about our senior cat's routine and personality, and was so kind and organized! While we were away, she sent us detailed updates and photos (daily) that gave us real peace of mind. Zoe is incredibly detail oriented, and reading her notes was a delight! You can tell she loves what she does. We won't be looking any further for a cat sitter! We hope Zoe will be available and happy to look after our sweet senior for as long as she'll have us. Highly, highly recommend!!
I cant thank Taylor enough for taking care of Snowy and for all the love she gave her during my absence. This is my first experience leaving Snowy and I was very anxious about it. Taylor made it so much easier. Taylor is very organized and caring. She made sure to send me pictures and videos with every check in, answered all my questions and reassured me. She also made sure she plays with Snowy and pets her. Coming back after 2 weeks all was clean, tidy and Snowy was in a perfect shape. She is very sweet and accommodating. Thank you so much and I will definitely book again with Taylor 💗
Grace was really patient with our shy cat, even though he barely came out for his food. While at the same time made sure that our other active and friendly cat got all the cuddles and play they needed. We are very happy we chose Grace to take care of our fur babies.
Tamanna and Pramond were so wonderful with our senior cat Koji. My wife and I had to leave for 3 days for a wedding and Tamanna/Pramond took care of our baby, feeding her, giving her treats, keeping her company. We really felt at peace knowing she was getting so much care while we were away. Tamanna and Pramond are the kindest, sweetest couple who have cats of thier own and are true cat parents! We will definitely be looking to them for any future cat-sitting needs.
Esme is absolutely great! This was her second time taking care of our kitten and once again she was wonderful. She is very flexible and easy to communicate with and she always sends plenty of updates, photos, and videos during each visit. She also makes an effort to bond with our fur baby, who already loves her! We will definitely continue reaching out to Esme whenever we need a pet sitter.
Yeha went above and beyond to provide excellent care for my 17 year old senior cat, Bella while I was away for a short work trip. She provided very detailed descriptions of each visit which made me feel confident that Bella was getting very detailed care, including administering her medication. I always felt assured from her updates and the attached photos showed how all of my kitties really liked her energy and were happy to see her! We will certainly hope to book Yeha again in the future!
Bianca was so amazing! She dropped in to check on our kitty each day, sent such great updates and photos after each visit, and was just overall so easy to communicate with. Felt completely at ease knowing she was stopping by to check in on our boy, as well as keep him company, refill water, and play with him each day. Don't hesitate to book her!

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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.
