“Vanessa and her family were amazing with Winter! My pup can be a but anxious but she was totally at ease with them. We are on a road trip and wanted to give her a break while we explored Halifax. The updates were regular which also put me at ease”
“Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them again.”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs—not professionally, but personally and passionately. Growing up with dogs taught me that they’re not just pets; they’re family. In 2021, my wife and I brought home our furbaby, Kopi, when he was just a puppy—and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We even brought him with us from the Philippines to Canada because he’s family to us in every way. I walk Kopi three times a day—every morning and twice in the evening—and we run together twice a week (Tuesdays 3K, Thursdays 5K) to keep him active and healthy. He’s potty trained, well-socialized, and loves meeting new furry friends. If your pup needs a walking buddy or a loving companion while you're away, me and Kopi would be thrilled to be your dog’s next best pawwwllls! 🐾💙 You can count on me to treat your pet with the same care and love I give to my own—like family. Just message me and if I'm free, let's make your pup happy! Since I'm already walking my dog(kopi) three times a day, adding another pup to the pack is no problem at all! Walks aren’t just routine for me—they’re a fun, essential part of your dog’s day. I see it as their time to stay active, explore the world, and enjoy meeting (and sniffing!) their furry friends. Whether it's a quick stroll or a longer adventure, I'm happy to match your dog’s pace and energy. Let me know your preferred times—morning, afternoon, or evening—and I’ll do my best to fit it in! You can trust that I’ll treat both with the utmost respect and care. When I’m out with your pup, I always stay alert and mindful of the environment. I carefully observe surroundings to avoid potential hazards and make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable at all times. As a fellow dog parent, I understand how important it is to leave your furbaby in trustworthy hands. You can count on me to care for them just like I do my own—lovingly, responsibly, and with plenty of tail wags.
“Ash and Abhi were really amazing with cooper they were sending constant updates and taking care of him like their own baby. They considered my special request to pick him up and drop him home. They were very keen on listening to his schedule what kind of a dog he is. And what he likes. They were also so quick in replying to my messages. I was very worried as he is with someone else for the first time but cooper was way too comfortable with these people. I would say i feel comfortable now. Thankyou so much for taking care of my baby and i totally recommend them for anyone.”
“Absolutely amazing! Our dogs are both anxious and this was the first time we left them with someone who wasn’t family. Michelle was wonderful, she kept us updated and sent photos and our dogs were well looked after. Thank you again Michelle, and our apologies to Luna ?!!!!”
“Ollie had a wonderful stay with Claire! Personally I loved all the communication and photos. Thank you Claire for letting us enjoy our getaway knowing Ollie was well taken care of!”
“Carolina took great care of my dog, Roxy, from just the conversation to book! She helped me coordinate knowing Roxy is nervous of high energy dogs and consistently sent updates of Roxy throughout her stay. I had high confidence in Carolina to enjoy my trip and know my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to Carolina again and highly suggest!!”
“Sonya and her family took great care of my dog Stevie over 4 days, and provided lots of updates! Stevie looked right at home and was so sad and protesting when she had to leave!! I would recommend her services to all!”
“Kate was so easy to work with. She boarded our dog for a weekend and we were thrilled with her. She asked questions when they arose and made sure to follow our instructions and schedules . She kept me up to date with text messages and photos. Overall, very happy with Kate and would definitely book again.”
About: As a former Labradoodle parent, I've had hands-on experience that extends into the way I care for every pet I look after. Reliable and friendly approach that helps dogs feel relaxed and happy. Whether you dog needs lots of playtime, gentle reassurance, or a calm routine, I easily adapt to their temperament. Caring for my own dog taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog's unique personality and emotional needs. Living alone in a quiet 1-bedroom own condo. Reliable dog sitter with a fixed hour job, free evenings , weekends, and holidays. Nature walks and full attention included! I provide a safe, spacious and comfortable environment. With minimal furniture and plenty of room, your dog has space to move, play and relax freely. Living alone allows me to give full attention, supervision and companionship. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow consistent routines for feeding, walks, and rest, and keep a secure, hazard-free space. I also maintain trust and clear communication with owners through updates and photos, so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Nature walks are a key part of their day, providing exercise and mental stimulation. Whether it's playtime, cuddles or following a specific routine, I tailor care to each pet's needs, creating a nurturing, reliable and happy home-away-from-home.
“We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.”
“I would come back for Kelly. She made my experience with Rover even more positive and wonderful. Kelly has been super thorough in keeping me informed of updates about my dog throughout the boarding. My dog was happy and well taken care of during the holiday.”
“Luna had a wonderful time staying with Victoria's family and their two dogs. I think she was a little sad to go home! We enjoyed receiving the pictures and updates on our trip. Would happily recommend Victoria as a great sitter.”
“Deanna felt like the right fit from the beginning. She has a genuine love for your fur baby. I never once worried and I know Milo won’t want to leave when we go to pick him up! Highly recommend Deanna.”
“Miranda and her family took such great care of Sarah! She made sure to keep in touch during my trip and kept me in the loop and sent pictures! She made sure that Sarah had lots of exercise too, which was an added bonus!”
“Rebecca took great care of Nash during his stay and was very flexible and accommodating for some of his extra needs following dental surgery. It is clear that Nash got lots of exercise and was well loved during his stay. We would highly recommend Rebecca and her family :)”
Halifax pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was the first time I ever left my cat with someone and I was super nervous about it but Carly was amazing! She is super friendly and the communication was great and super fast and she made me feel a lot better about having someone stay with my cat! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Shawna and Chris were our very first sitters with Rover and the experience has been anything but pleasant. They actually made sure we are always well informed and respected our very specific needs for our 2 month old pup. They also prepped treats for Chikoo and made sure he got the care he needed. If anything I can say, they really go above and beyond to make you feel secure about your furbaby while you are away. 10/10 service
I was a little nervous leaving Casear, but Colin took such great care of him. He kept me updated with pictures, which really gave me peace of mind, and he was very flexible and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate everything he did, and I would definitely book him again in the future.
This was our first time boarding our cat and Brit made us feel completely at ease! She sent pictures daily and our cat had a blast hanging out with her cats. Brit took great care of our fur baby and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will book her in the future :)
We had such a fantastic experience with Milissa. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease leaving Teddy our cocker spaniel with her. She provided daily updates that were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was so nice to see how happy and well cared for he was while we were away. He got out for walks every day on the local trails in the nearby park, which he absolutely loved. She also handled his daily medication seamlessly, which was a huge relief for us. It’s clear she is attentive, responsible, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Great experience! We reached out to Claire on short notice before an overnight trip. Not only was she able to take both our dogs, but she was very friendly, sent updates, and was very accommodating of our needs. Her space is excellent and very dog-friendly. Would absolutely book again!
Briagh was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs! Our older dog needed antibiotics at the last minute, and Briagh was so accommodating and was fine administering them for us.... She was responsive to their needs, loving, and sent pictures every day! They seemed to have a great time walking the trails with her and we would definitely leave our dogs with her again!
We left our dog Flurry with Carolina for a week, and we're thrilled with her! She sent us lots of pictures of what Flurry got up to over the week, from their walks together to hanging out. From what we could tell, Flurry was very happy, he got lots of walks, and was very well taken care of. The best evidence of this? When I picked Flurry up, he was happy to see me--but he was not in a hurry to leave! He seemed very happy, and likely made a new friend with Carolina's dog, who is very friendly. We'd recommend her to anyone, and will definitely get in touch with her again when we need a dog sitter we can rely on. Thanks again, Carolina!
