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.

Victoria boarded our Skipper for a week plus. Victoria, her family, and two dogs provided an environment that allowed Skipper to quickly fit in and settle. They always included Skipper in all activities, inside and out. Victoria is a super communicator and always kept us connected with Skipper and all goings on. We highly recommend Victoria and would not hesitate to leave our Skipper with her 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.

We truly found the best care for our dog Sully with Deanna. His care was second to none, she kept us updated with messages & photos & you could just see how relaxed he was. We cannot wait to rebook with her in the future for Sully!

About: I have experience with positive reinforcement dog training and care, from young dogs to seniors that are blind, deaf, have allergies, need medications, ones that have special needs and diets, or rescues with PTSD. I currently work from home most days a month so I will be present and allow for as many bio breaks as they might need. If there are days I am required in the office, every effort will be made to ensure prompt return. When I have to run errands, I try my best to keep my time away to a few hours max. This is a fur babies come first home which is my principal foundation of how they will be loved and cared for. I have a bungalow style home which is great for pets that struggle with stairs. Even the sofa and bed are situated to accommodate accessibility for seniors and littles that want to be independent and make themselves at home. Do you have a little that isn’t a fan of taking potty breaks in the rain or snow? We have a little protected area for those that are particular. We also have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet area that is surrounded by nature, not far from the rails to trails. I also have two laid back senior toy poodles that will help keep your fur baby company and feel at ease. If there are any special circumstances or concerns you have regarding their routine and care, please let me know so I can ensure we maintain consistency. Each pet is different in personality and in what they need to be happy and cared for.

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.

David and Emma were fantastic with our dog, Stanley. He has quite a few quirky routines and specific needs, and they took excellent care of him and followed everything perfectly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them look after Stanley again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

About: Very comfortable with medication administration and any special needs your dog or puppy may need. Nurse by profession with a great love for all animals. I’m available from 5pm Friday until Monday morning 8am full care. If you have other needs through the week please message to discuss - here to help in any way with your pet care needs. My golden retriever Wilson both has free rein of the home and comfortable in his kennel. I would prefer kennel trained but if well mannered - fine to have free in the house.

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.

Ilana was a great cat sitter. She took amazing care of our cat Ari at her house while we were away on vacation. We received lots of pictures and updates every day, which was appreciated. We felt very comfortable leaving our cat with her and wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future. He loves his new toy and hasn't stopped playing with it since he came home.

As of September 2026, there are 30 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hantsport. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 .

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
