About: I have been around animals my entire life, my family has always had many pets and a lot of dogs. I currently have two cats but would get a dog in a heart beat if I could ! I work part-time but not a lot of hours a week which means I could have lots of time to watch and walk animals, I am free most mornings/afternoons! I am patient with animals and love all of them I would take care of your animals whether I am walking or just stopping in and they will get lots of love .
About: I’ve had dogs all my life growing up and most recently been a cat mom over the last 5 years, currently have one cat but used to have 3!! I work casually as a registered nurse and have a very inconsistent schedule of shifts and would love to help take of some adorable pets on my days off! Ensuring the safety of your pets in your home is crucial!! I will always make sure they are comfortable with me and will take great care of them.
“Taylor was fantastic again! Super communicative, thorough, and great with our cat. We came home to a happy kitty and everything taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan was great. Her daily updates and notes took away all the stress and worry while I was away. I knew my girls were fine. I will definitely book her again for my next trip. ☺️”
“Yanzhu was absolutely amazing. She has such a warm and positive energy, and it really showed in how she cared for Lily. Lily loved playing with her and felt completely comfortable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. When I got home, Lily was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of. Yanzhu also went above and beyond, when I had a concern at home, she stepped in and helped resolve it, which I really appreciated. I truly appreciate her care and attention. I would definitely contact her again anytime I travel and need someone to look after Lily. Highly recommended!”
“We have had Julia take care of our two cats several times now and have had such a positive experience. Her prompt communication and updates while we are away are greatly appreciated. We can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Safety is my love language: safety that comes from structure, structure that is backed by deep philosophy and experience. Whether we're talking about emotional safety (a dog feeling secure and confident to interact with the outside world), or safety for other humans and other dogs, safety for me as a pet professional, and safety for the owners in the habits I'm encouraging the dog to inhabit, my service is based on safety above all because without safety none of us can thrive. I'm busy building a farm care business that expands across Canada. All my waking hours and some sleeping hours too are spent obsessing about pet care, as dogs form the center of this pet care philosophy. Continuing onwards in a concentric circle, cats are followed by other farm animals. When it comes to dogs, i work with treats to encourage a strong place command. Once the place command is clear, i know that any time the pup is off his cushion, it is time for a walk.

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.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 .
