“Cleah was such a lovely sitter for our two cats when we were away. She dropped in once a day and gave us great updates. We were able to enjoy our trip stress free knowing she was there. Will definitely rebook!”
“Kelsey did a great job feeding and walking our dog while we were away. It was a bit complex because our dog was in our RV in an RV park, but she figured it all out. She was on time, sent photos, and everything was tidy when we returned. I'd definitely recommend her.”

About: A lifelong pet lover and former pet parent. I know them happy , safe and loved. I enjoy long walks, playtime, belly rubs and lots of cuddles. Currently working part time so I have lots of flexibility to look after your best friends needs. Weekends are wide open for care at this point. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as I would my own. Follow instructions for feeding, walks and medication, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.
“Patricia did an amazing job taking care of our two cats. We were extremely nervous leaving our fur babies for 1.5 weeks for the first time. From the very first contact, she understood our anxiety and made us feel comfortable and settled. She came to our home to meet us and our cats and we immediately knew she was a great choice to be our pet sitter. Patricia provided us with wonderful reports, photographs and videos after her visits and we could clearly see our pets were in great hands. She really went above and beyond to make sure our cats and home were taken care of in our absence, and to ensure we felt relaxed whilst away. We would highly recommend Patricia to care for your cats, and she will be our first choice when the time comes to travel again. Simply wonderful.”
About: I've had loads of pet experience over the years, from early childhood to present day. I grew up in a rural setting where there were always animals around...farm animals such as chickens, pigs and turkeys. As for house pets, I've had MANY...several dogs over the years, too many cats to count, rabbits and hamsters. In my younger years I had a Poodle, a Samoyed, a Beagle and Cocker Spaniel. As for cats, well...let's just say our family was crazy for cats...I remember at one point in my youth, I had 10 at once! Later in life my husband and I had two Maincoons (Missy and Buster) who were literally the loves of our lives. We still miss them terribly and always think about them. In my 20s I worked at a pet store, where I also took care of the animals there (cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and fish). In my 30s I worked as a dog walker, which was very rewarding and so, so much fun. I would walk and care for three to six on any given day. I would pick them all up at each of their homes, each taking their preferred seat in my Jeep (the smallest one always insisting she sit in the front seat) and head out on our adventures for the day! These days I have several dogs in my orbit that belong to family members and friends. We have one in particular that we care for in our home periodically for our friends...Gordon the golden doodle, a.k.a. our nephew. All that being said I feel that I have a lot of experience and love to offer your fur babies, along with an endless supply of hugs, snuggles and kisses! Halifax is my permanent home but commute out of province for work. I am home for roughly half of the month, days vary but on average I'm home anywhere from 13-18 days a month and usually anywhere from 6-13 days at a time. I do get my schedule one month in advance on the 25th of each month, at which point I would update my calendar. I currently care for a friends dog periodically when they are away for a few days or sometimes longer. He has the run of the house, not crated and sleeps with us...not spoiled at all. We of course take him on walks and have play time...all the time.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that each pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a Continuing Care Assistant (CCA), I have developed strong skills in providing compassionate care, paying close attention to individual needs, and staying calm in different situations. I bring that same level of responsibility and kindness to pet care. I'm comfortable caring for energetic dogs that need regular exercise, as well as senior pets who require a slower pace, extra patience, and close attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care routines provided by the owner. I also believe that communication is important. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like a member of my own family and provide dependable, loving care you can trust. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. I understand that every pet has a unique schedule, so I follow each owner's instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine and help them feel comfortable. My weekly schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits when needed. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I am committed to providing reliable, loving, and consistent care so pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions from the owner. In a client's home, I respect their space and do my best to keep the pet's routine as normal as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and companionship while keeping the home clean and secure. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and opportunities to rest. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and always strive to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free.

“Jasper does a great job with our two cats, keeps the litters clean and the food bowls and water fountain filled. They responded really well to a scary situation with one of our cats, they kept us informed and went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok.”
“I was initially nervous about leaving my cats in someone else’s care, but Cassandra quickly put my mind at ease. She is incredibly responsible and a fantastic communicator. Throughout my time away, she provided regular updates, photos, and thoughtful details about how my cats were doing, which really helped me relax. It was clear from the start that Cassandra genuinely cares about animals and takes her role seriously. My cats were happy, well-fed, and comfortable when I returned, and I could tell they had been in great hands. I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring cat sitter!”
“Liz and Mike dropped in on our kitty Dorito while we went on vacation for a week in Cuba. I contacted them on short notice and they came to my house right away for a visit. We got a great vibe from them within minutes. While we were away, communication was difficult because the app didn’t work in Cuba but Liz did her best to send updates. Dorito was very well cared for and the house was exactly as we had left it. This was my first time using Rover and now we are so grateful we found someone we can trust with our fur baby and our home ! We will definitely be using Liz and Mike for our next getaway.”
“Leah was awesome and really loved my dogs and trusting. She mad sure she always sent pics to me to know they were okay but helped me feel they were safe.. thank you Leah for the hard work qith the lucy and Ollie xo”
About: I've had family dogs my whole life, but have had my own dogs for around 8 years now! I love all animals, and I would love to make a pet and their parents day a little easier while they're out for fun or at work! I have also worked for the SPCA, and have dealt with many pet personalities. I work 9-5, so I can care for your pet/pets after work, or before work if it's early! I am also available anytime on the weekends. I have a yard at my home and a couch for your pet to relax on, unless they'd prefer a bed! I have one small dog and two cats at home that can keep your furry family member company along with myself. For walking dogs, I may need a leash provided because mine is suitable for smaller breeds. I can also care for your pets in your home if that's preferred.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lower Sackville
Giulia took wonderful care of our 12-year-old senior lab, Gibson, while we were out of town. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly very comfortable caring for an older dog. Knowing Gibson was in such good hands was a huge stress relief and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We would absolutely recommend Giulia and would not hesitate to use her services again.

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.
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 Lower Sackville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code.

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.

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.
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.
