“Esme was amazing with Luna! She was super flexible and even came over beforehand to meet Luna, learn her routine, and spend some time with her so they could get familiar with each other. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and really enjoys what she does. She kept me updated during every visit with lots of photos, videos, and messages about how Luna was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I need a pet sitter! ❤️”
“Lori was exceptional. She provided updates on our girls with photos. We knew they were well cared for while we were south for a week. We would not hesitate to book with Lori again as she is wonderful with our cats!”
“Timely and a great communicator. I felt very comfortable with my cat in Grace's care. I wouldn't hesitate to have her as first choice for future bookings (no offence to other Rovers!)”
“Sophie has helped out with my cats a few times over the last year and is just phenomenal with communication and care! The only one I would now message to take care them these days.”
“Taylor was incredible with our high maintenance cat Nala. Making sure she had her three meals, snacks and voracious play. And she left our home so neat and tidy to boot! Thank you Taylor!”
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.
“Carman has now become my go to for watching my little guy Sal. This was the longest I had ever left him, Carman did such a good job sending me photos and keeping my mind at ease knowing he was in the best hands and had a friend to keep him company.”
“Loren took great care of my senior cat while I was out of town and I was totally able to relax knowing that I had such a thoughtful, reliable pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“This was my second time booking with Hayley and Lucy, and once again it was a great experience! They took wonderful care of my babies, followed all of my care instructions, and provided lots of pictures and detailed updates throughout the stay. Knowing they were so well cared for gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Hayley and Lucy to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters, and I will definitely book with them again!”
“Jaiden stayed with and took care of my 2 cats while I was away. She made sure they were comfortable, fed, and loved 😊 She sent updates and was very easy to get in touch with. I highly recommend Jaiden!!”
About: **WILLING TO PROVIDE SERVICES ANYWHERE IN THE SOUTH/NORTH END, WITH MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR HOME STAYS I realized recently that I am the default pet sitter for my friends. Hopefully, I'll become a default for you as well! Whether it is a dog, cat, or hedgehog, I am always happy to look after a little family member. I grew up in a family full of animal lovers, and that is a trait I have as well! Over the past few years, I've been responsible for weekly care for a dog from 8 weeks old (he's 3 now!). I have a variety of experience looking after dogs big and small, young and old. In my spare time, I volunteer with Elder dog walking many different dogs for seniors in the HRM. These dogs have a variety of needs and interests, but I always try to make their day the best! I've cared for cats of all ages (and personalities). I'm a graduate student with the option of remote work. As a result, my schedule is flexible. I have a few consistent commitments throughout the week, but am happy to work with you to figure something out :) When looking after your dog, I want to be sure I know everything there is to know. What toys are their favourite, do they take medication, and how much food do they get? For walks, it is important to me that they have the appropriate gear to keep them safe (like a harness and a light if it is night). I'll treat your baby like my own, and I promise I'll keep them safe! I have a flexible schedule as a grad student working in research roles. Taking dogs for walks is a great add-on to my day as fits wonderfully with my active lifestyle. I will not offer services in my own home. In your home, I will discuss the location of all necessary items, if areas are off limits, and who to contact for an emergency. I will be sure to understand your dogs' needs and your rules.
“Tamanna and Pramond M. were both a delight to work with. Their care and love for their own cats was evident in how they took care of mine. I would definitely book them again!”
“Daryl is fantastic! He cared for our cat while we were away on our first big vacation after adopting our cat. Daryl is very quick to respond and thoughtful. We greatly appreciate the amazing care he took of our girl. We can't recommend him enough!”
“Yueying has now taken fabulous care of our cat on two occasions. She is an excellent communicator, follows the care instructions, AND...is an excellent pet photographer :).”
“Rhiannon stayed with my cat over a long weekend. She was incredibly professional, I received frequent updates, and my home was left immaculately. Totally trusted her, and will absolutely book with her again!”
“I immediately trusted and felt comfortable with Jaime. She is very professional, communicative, and thorough, and she made sure Gus had such a blast!!! Lots of play, exercise, and cuddles. What more could you want?”
“Ashley was amazing with Lily. Lily is a very shy cat and usually takes time to feel comfortable around new people, so the first couple of days were a little challenging. Ashley was very patient with her, kept me updated, and let me know anytime she had a concern. I really appreciated how closely she paid attention to Lily’s behavior, eating, and overall comfort. By the third or fourth day, Lily had really started to trust her. They were playing together, and I could see that Lily was happy, relaxed, and comfortable around Ashley, which honestly meant a lot to me. Ashley was very responsible, caring, communicative, and cooperative throughout the whole time. Since Lily doesn’t easily get comfortable with new people, finding someone I can trust with her is very important to me, and I’m really happy I found Ashley. I would definitely reach out to her again whenever I travel and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Halifax
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!
Zoe took care of my senior cat, Vera, and it was a good experience all around! She was communicative and great with Vera, who can be a bit slow to warm up. Vera took to her immediately and it gave me peace of mind to know she was well cared for while I was away. Zoe asked lots of questions when we first met up to make sure she fully understood Vera's needs, likes and dislikes. I will definitely book again!
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!
Jaiden is a wonderful sitter who prioritizes clear, responsive communication to let you know that she has your pets' care front and center. One of our two cats is elderly and has myriad issues, so we have to leave any sitter with finicky instructions, and after interacting with Jaiden we have all the confidence that she's looking at every piece. Whenever we've had changes of plans Jaiden has also been so understanding and accommodating.
