“Shannon is amazing with dogs. Our 9 month year old rough collie took right to her. She understands doggy needs and comforts. Thank you so much Shannon for your excellent care of Butterscotch for 2 weeks.”

“Jordan accommodated me when I had to travel out of the province unexpectedly and he was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while she was boarding for a number of days, which helped me feel at ease. Jordan took great care of her and walked her a lot. We won’t hesitate to book with Jordan again! :)”

“Megan was absolutely amazing with Maeve. We had only adopted Maeve a few weeks before leaving for a 10-day trip, so we were a little nervous, but Megan put our minds at ease immediately. Maeve and Megan’s dog Sunny became best friends and spent 10 days playing, walking, and having adventures together. Megan sent detailed daily updates with tons of photos, taught Maeve new tricks, and was incredibly communicative throughout our trip. When Maeve had a minor foot injury, Megan handled it perfectly, kept us informed every step of the way, and made sure Maeve was well cared for. It was obvious Maeve was loved like one of her own dogs. We came home to a happy, tired pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d book with Megan again in a heartbeat.”

About: Single mom with a loving toddler who is great with pets. I grew up with dogs and owned a boxer/lab for 8 years. No pets ourselves currently and I work from home full-time, with a good sized backyard. Looking to give some animals love, provide a safe and caring home, while using my skills and backyard space to hopefully help those who need it! I work from home full time on the phones/computer. I have lots of time to provide love, cuddles, and let your furry pals outside. I have two 15 minute breaks and a half hour lunch for walks, along with evenings and weekends free with my daughter for walks and playing outside! I have a basement level home that walks out onto a large yard. It is almost fully blocked in by trees, minus one side. I have a long chain so your dogs can be free to explore the yard as they please. Inside they are free to roam and welcome on all of the furniture!

“Amanda is who you are looking for! Leaving your dog behind is surprisingly stressful!! Amanda helped make it as easy as it can be, regular updates, adapting to our dogs needs and adjusting her own life last minute when our flight home was delayed. Amazing, kind and competent.”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals throughout my life. I bring 15+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including working in two veterinary clinics and teaching canine and equine first aid. I provide reliable, attentive and compassionate care and am happy to follow each pet's individual routine and needs. I have a flexible schedule and am generally available Sunday to Saturday with daytime availability for drop-in visits, dog walks and pet care. I am also open to occasional weekend and overnight bookings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active and spend time caring for my own animals, including my horses and cats. I can work with individual pet routines and am happy to provide regular updates to owners while they are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality and individual needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions for feeding, exercise, medications and other care. My experience working in two veterinary clinics, along with my Canine and Equine First Aid Instructor training, gives me confidence recognizing changes in an animal's health or behaviour and responding appropriately if a concern arises. Whether caring for pets in their own home or providing visits, I aim to keep their environment calm, familiar and stress-free. I will also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they are away.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, structured, home environment I provide. I only take 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so your dog gets real attention—not a crowded, chaotic setting. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks, plus I’m home often so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I focus on keeping dogs relaxed, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m experienced with: dogs who need a quieter space Crate training (I have a large crate available if preferred) Multi-dog supervision with safe introductions and monitoring Basic routine consistency (feeding, walks, rest times) Inside, dogs have cozy spots to relax, and I keep things clean and organized. I also send regular photo updates, so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is simple: your dog feels like they’re staying in a safe, loving home—not a kennel. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I own a local business that is fully staffed, which allows me to be home most of the day. I’m not tied to a 9–5 schedule, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine includes regular outdoor time in my fully fenced yard, walks, feeding on your dog’s schedule, and plenty of relaxed indoor time. Because I’m home so often, dogs are rarely left alone and can settle into a calm, low-stress environment. I’ve built my schedule specifically to support pet care, so your dog isn’t just being “fit in”—they’re part of my daily routine and receive consistent, attentive care from morning to evening. I provide personalized, in-home care designed to give each dog a calm, safe, and comfortable experience—very different from a high-volume or kennel-style setting. I intentionally limit bookings to just 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so every dog receives focused attention and consistent supervision. Care in my home is structured around your dog’s routine, including daily walks, regular time in my fully fenced backyard, and relaxed indoor living in a clean, cozy space. Dogs are treated like part of the household, with access to comfortable lounging areas and a low-stress environment where they can settle in naturally. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach to introductions and group dynamics, ensuring dogs are compatible and comfortable. I closely monitor behavior and can provide separation or crating if preferred, always prioritizing safety and your dog’s individual needs. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and receive consistent care, attention, and supervision from morning through evening. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to offer a premium, home-based experience where your dog feels secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for—not just looked after.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hantsport home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Hantsport

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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.

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 .

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
