“Mark & Evangeline were awesome with Zimba. They took very good care of him for the 2 weeks that we were away, and made him a part of their family. They sent us daily updates with pictures and short videos. They gave Zimba his medication in a timely manner, and followed his regular routine. When we picked him up we noticed that he was happy and well taken care of. Mark & Evangeline are the best sitters we have had so far and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely keep Zimba with them in the future. Thank you Mark & Evangeline! 🥰”

“We really appreciate Audrey and her expertise with dogs. Her experience shows with how she managed our hyperactive duck tolling retriever, Hudson. She is communicative, gives us plenty of video and photo updates on Hudson, and collaborates with us when it comes to necessary situations. She takes our dog out for lots of activities (fetch, swimming, exploring), plus she has 2 dogs of her own so our dog was never bored! We feel relieved knowing Hudson is in great hands and someone is caring for him while we’re away for our medical appointments. We highly recommend Audrey’s services!”

“Deanna was an excellent sitter! She made sure Morty got lots of exercise and did activities with him. She was very easy to communicate with, and sent regular updates and photos. Deanna’s dog, Stella, was also very sweet and playful - Morty and her got along great and it was nice he had a playmate for his stay. We will be booking with Deanna again!”

“We would highly recommend Ash & Abhi. They cared for our one year old double doodle for almost 3 weeks. Especially appreciated the occasional photos and short videos! A picture is worth a thousand words and we could see that Mia was enjoying her stay. We prefer to travel with our dog but sometimes that isn’t possible so it’s great to know someone who can provide a welcome in their home. Thank you!!”

“Ryan was fantastic with our two big rescue dogs while we were on vacation for two weeks. They are usually very nervous around men and it normally takes them quite a few visits to warm up to someone new. They will usually bark at strangers, but Ryan won them over right away. They were happy and relaxed the whole time and very well taken care of. He was quick to respond whenever we wanted check-ins or updates, but he never overdid the messaging, which was perfect. They have even seen him once more since the initial boarding and the dogs were beyond excited to see him again. Total tail wags, pawing for attention, and going in for kisses. You could just see it on their faces. I guess he just has that special touch. He definitely leaves a lasting impression! One of the best sitters we have ever had. Highly recommend and would book him again in a heartbeat. 10/10!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your dog. We had a Golden Retriever who was a very special part of our family and sadly passed away unexpectedly at just 10 years young. Losing her left a big space in our home, and it inspired me to open our home to other dogs and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I started caring for friends’ dogs after losing our Golden and my family and I quickly fell in love with it. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, seeing them become comfortable in our home, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their families are away. It made me realize how much I enjoy having dogs around and ultimately inspired me to start offering boarding services. We welcome the energy and fun that comes with puppies, and we also have a soft spot for senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, comfort, and care. My family and I are patient, attentive and respectful of each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, prefers to relax on the couch, or needs a little extra reassurance in a new environment, we are happy to accommodate their routine and help them feel at home. I take the time to learn each dog’s feeding schedule, habits, medications, comfort level and any special instructions. My goal is for every dog to have a happy, stress-free stay where they feel part of a family— and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home three days a week and in the office two days (flexibility available). My husband is home throughout the day, providing companionship, supervision, and care while your pet stays with us. We’re available throughout the week, overnight stays, and weekends, allowing us to accommodate your dog’s routine while providing a loving, comfortable home. We have two boys, ages 6 and 2, who absolutely love and adore dogs. We teach them to be gentle, respectful, and mindful of a dog’s boundaries, and dogs are always supervised around the children. We have a large, unfenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time with an adult present at all times. We can also accommodate crate-trained dogs and provide a crate when needed. Our goal is to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and loving home where every dog feels like part of our family.

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.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages; growing up around dogs means I have taken care of puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with everything that comes with keeping a dog happy, safe, and well cared for. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so I’d love give yours plenty of attention and company while you’re away! I’m a university student currently taking online courses, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m able to be around throughout the day to give them lots of attention, company, and care! I have plenty of space for your pet in my apartment, as well as a small backyard that’s convenient for quick bathroom breaks. I also live close to several parks and green spaces, so there are plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained, and I’m completely comfortable cleaning up any accidents or messes that may happen.

Gina is one of the kindest dog lovers I’ve ever met. She treated my two pups as if they were her own. Upon their third visit to stay with her for the weekend they were so excited to see her and settled into cuddles and playing with her dogs immediately. I easily could leave them and knew they were happy! Her photos throughout the weekend also solidified my comfort knowing they were well cared for and comfortable.

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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lower Sackville is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

sitters in Lower Sackville have an average of 14 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You and your Lower Sackville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
