About: "I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. My calm and nurturing approach helps pets feel comfortable and safe, making me more than just a sitter—I’m a trusted companion for your furry family members. I am a golf professional so between November and April, I have more time to myself and work sparingly. Pet sitting is perfect for me and for you and your pet(s)! We have an animal friendly home that is a stones throw away from a park with plenty of space for your pet to run and roam. There is a sizable sofa, a chair, bed all for them, too. Wooden floors so any messes aren't as troublesome as it would be on carpet.
About: I have 13 years of experience with dogs and used to rescue dogs as a side job, helping find them new homes. I’ve owned many dogs of different sizes and breeds, and I see them as loving, kind-natured pets that deserve the very best care. I have experience with everything from medical needs to caring for new puppies and training, and I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m available anytime. I can help with whatever is needed, including overnight care, visits, and bathroom breaks. I love spending time playing with pets and giving them one-on-one attention, and I always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. All their needs will be fully taken care of, whether that includes medical care, one-on-one attention, feeding routines, or following specific schedules and detailed care instructions. I am patient, responsible, and committed to making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“We had to cancel our trip and Hannah was understanding. In our dealings with her to date, she has been reliable and she is responsive and communicates well. We hope to book her again soon!”
About: I have had a pet ever since I can remember, I see them as a family member not just a pet. I have had dogs from the terrible puppy stage to the chill adulthood stage. I love all shapes and sizes, thick and thin hair! I’m also aware of allergies/conditions that any pet would have. I am currently working full time at a car dealerships. Monday - Friday 9am -5:30pm and Saturdays (9am -3pm) I do have Wednesday’s and Sunday’s off every week. I have a car for any reason that may occur. I am not allowed to have pets at my house currently but I have available to stay at your house to look after them if you need.
“I am so thankful for Georgia! She was amazing and went above and beyond. Georgia dropped in twice a day to feed, clean and medicate my two cats. While at my house she stayed to play with both cats and also looked after small needs in my house. Georgia was 100 percent reliable, professional and respectful. She paid attention to all details and sent photos of every visit. Georgia kept me updated whenever she was in my house and with my cats. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician/Nurse so my expectations of animal care are high, Georgia met all my standards! I would not hesitate to call Georgia again!! Five stars all around!”
“Kaylee was absolutely wonderful! She looked after my two cats for about two weeks over Christmas, and she was so kind to them (and to me!) She shared photos with me every day, and when I got home they were so cuddly and well-cared for. I will definitely book with Kaylee again, if needed!”
About: Hey there, I have always had dogs and animals in my home life, over the years helped out neighbours walk dogs, stayed at houses to care for morning to night. I have cared for Jack russels, austrain shepherds, black labs, husky/golden lab, racoon hound, saint Bernard's, Bernese, sheep dog, king Charles Spaniel. Love all the doggos. Enjoy company of little dogs/puppies too. I am currently work part time, and enjoy making my own schedule! Let me help keep your dog in shape by setting up a walk with me! Our dog is trained with beep system. She is very well behaved, I use a snap of the fingers to get her to slow while walking I have a 2 point harness for better control.
About: I recently lost my sweet pup to old age. I’m looking for that companionship without the commitment of getting another dog right now. Looking to give lots of love while being active. I currently work from home mostly. And sometimes need to take short drives(20min) in the car for work, though never having to leave the car. So your pet would never be left alone in the car if I was boarding them. I offer lots of love to your pet, but do try to work with pets having good habits. I have successfully taught dogs and puppies basic commands, crate training, and other healthy habits.
“Brianna is a lovely lady and Cooper certainly loved the belly rubs and company!! I am already booking another appointment soon as the Olympic Qualifiers are on and only happen every 4 years! I loved that she took pics and sent them to me! That's what my kennel does also!”
About: I am an experienced and reliable pet lover! I have been taking care of cars + dogs of all ages for many years, from walking energetic puppies to supporting senior cats with extra care. I’m great at matching each pets energy level and needs to fit their typical routine. I am very flexible with my schedule. I am a substitute teacher so often available on the days I am not teaching and after school hours! I want to make sure every pet is comfortable and safe at all times, especially in their own home! Safety and trust are a priority for me. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for a cat in your home, I always create a calm, secure environment to support their needs. I pay close attention to their behaviour, use secure leashes and harnesses, and stick to familiar routines. I also ensure their surroundings are safe and free from hazards, so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, reliable hands.

About: Since I was little I have always wanted a dog, but could never get my Dad to give in. Thus, I began looking after other people's dogs in anyway I can! From puppies and tiny dogs (7lbs), to senior and large dogs (90lbs), I am here to help you out in anyway! From a walk, a check in, to even an overnight buddy, I am willing to keep you dog safe and happy while you are away! A middle school teacher, yes it is a lot but I love it, I am able to watch your animal on the weekends, or do check ins after 3pm on the week night. I unfortunately do not offer my home as a place for your animals, due to my apartment rules and my own cat who is not a fan of others.

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: I have experience from looking after my own pets to watching my friends' and colleagues' dogs. I have walked, fed, played and looked after many pets such as dogs (examples: border collies, shih tzu, Shepards, etc.), cats, rabbits, rodents and leopard geckos. I personally have owned pets since I was around 7 years old starting with hamsters, and since then I have owned rats, fish, a rabbit, a dog and a leopard gecko. I have also had experience in volunteering at a local vet clinic. I just finished getting my master of biology degree and I am working as a research associate now. I have a flexible schedule meaning I am available daily in the morning, afternoon or evening to look after and tend to your pets. In both my home and my clients' homes, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, provide ample supervision, and maintain open communication with pet owners to address any concerns. Whether it's hosting pets in my own space or visiting them in their familiar environment, I strive to maintain a safe and nurturing atmosphere where pets feel relaxed and cared for.

About: Hi there! 🐾 My name’s Jenna, and animals have always had a special place in my heart. From reptiles to playful puppies and everything in between, I truly believe every pet deserves love, respect, and gentle care! I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind, which is why my goal is to make the process easier for both you and your pet. When I’m with them, I’ll treat your companion just like my own. Ensuring they’re safe, happy, and showered with affection. As a child i’ve babysat animals in my neighbourhood and was apart of a club in high school that took care of many reptiles. I’ve owned, fish, geckos, a puppy, lovely kitty and cuddly bunny. I believe animals deserve compassion and respect and that includes yours! Currently I work a full time job, but have flexibility through the week and often free on the weekends. Although my work takes up larger parts of my week, I will commit to making sure your routine is never interrupted! I currently am not available for in house boarding but I provide a clean and safe environment for my animals and those I take care of. Secure doors and well maintained spaces makes my pets comfortable and happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kentville
Hayley and Lucy are amazing! They are friendly, responsible, and very accommodating. They took care of my baby cats exactly as I asked and went above and beyond. They left very detailed care notes and sent lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind! My cats also got along really well with them. I would definitely recommend them and will absolutely book with them again!
Hayley and Lucy were absolutely fabulous! Took such good care of my cat while I was away and administered his medication with some cuddles and toys! I felt very comfortable having them check on him and they were extremely communicative and friendly. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!!!!
Our puppy is quite timid of new people but he quickly made friends with Emma. She had a gentle and calm approach with him. We appreciate that Emma came to meet our puppy, us and understand our expectations prior to the first time visiting our puppy. We enjoyed the photos Emma sent us and appreciated her message to us about how the visit went. We highly recommend Emma.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kentville on Rover is $36.63 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 41 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Kentville. About 100% of Kentville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Kentville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kentville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
