About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm a confident, patient and attentive caregiver who understands that each dog has unique needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making each dog feel comfortable and at home. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or maintaining their regular routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. As a stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can easily maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. I always introduce the dogs gradually and supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. If your dog needs their own space, I'm happy to accommodate this as well, including crating if requested. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. I will send you updates if requested so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Exceptional Dog Sitter! I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received. From day one, Lou was incredibly attentive and proactive, providing regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was being treated with genuine care and affection. I especially appreciated that she took my dog on two walks every day, ensuring plenty of exercise, stimulation, and routine. The consistent communication and dedication made all the difference, and I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Lou to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring person to look after their pet. I'll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I grew up on a farm so I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was small. We have always had dogs and cats around the house and the farm and we learned the importance for caring for and loving animals. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbours. More recently, I have taken care of a whole litter of puppies while my friend was away on vacation. My passion for animals has sparked me getting a dog of my own which has led me to experience all the joys that come along with puppies and dogs in general. I would be so happy to meet your lovely pet and get the chance to take care of them for a bit! I’m currently working full time as a teacher but I am free after school hours and on weekend to take care of your fur baby! I have a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company if they like other dogs. If they prefer one on one attention that is no problem either! I am very flexible and accommodating. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority!

“Victoria and her family were absolutely incredible. Their two Golden's were the perfect match for Yogi. Texts were responded to quickly and pictures were aptly shared. Their location is also perfect with access to many areas for activities. I would highly recommend booking with her. I had no concerns whatsoever returning from my 10 day trip.”

Very responsive, kind, and easy to deal with! Rob paid close attention to my instructions when I dropped her off. And my dog was obviously very happy when I picked her up, which is the most important indicator. I would definitely have them watch my dog again!

This was our first time using Rover and I have to say like any care situation I was nervous leaving my two dogs (11years and 18 months) with a “stranger”. They too were nervous and wanted to leave with us at drop off. Well I had no need to worry— not only did Gina’s kindness and loving manner towards both pups put me at immediate ease—she was amazing at keeping us updated on how they settled in and playing with her own dogs. We were away for three days for our son’s wedding and her updates and photos really eased my mind and gave me quite the chuckle seeing my older dog cuddled snoozing with her dog. She was AMAZING and we would not only highly recommend we hope to book again in the fall for another weekend.

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lower Sackville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lower Sackville on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lower Sackville. 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 Lower Sackville 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 Lower Sackville

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. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 82% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 82% 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.

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.
