“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! 🥰”

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!”

“Joyce and Brian sent me messages and pictures while Meeka was in their care, which I loved. When I picked Meeka up she had a little Halloween costume on which was very cute, I tired to give it back, they told me to keep it for her. Very nice, friendly family. I would have no problem leaving my Meeka with them 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!

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: My wife and I have been lucky enough to have dogs as part of our families since we were little, and we couldn’t imagine life without them! What started as pet-sitting for friends gradually grew through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy pet owners. We love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and paying attention to the little details that help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. We also make sure to keep you updated, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. We genuinely love what we do and hope to continue caring for as many wonderful dogs as we can! Over time, we’ve had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of breeds, including Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkies, Old English Sheepdogs, Labradoodles, Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Huskies, Dalmatians, Chow Chows, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus, West Highland White Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Pugs, and many more. And our list keeps growing! Every dog is different, and we love making each one feel like part of our family. I have a pretty flexible job at the moment so I can always find spaces to provide the best care and quality and count on my wife's support for anything necessary. I adhere to your dog's schedule as much as possible and provide lots of pets, playtime and attention, and medicine if needed. I constantly send you pictures, videos and updates to keep you always notified about your best friend's wellbeing.

Thank you to Gina once again! The dogs were so well cared for and seemed to relax quickly once we dropped them off. I’ve used Gina’s services 2x now, and she’s amazing with each of my dogs and their different personalities and needs. Would recommend highly! I love getting photo updates from their stay, as it reassures this momma!

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.

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

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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 .
