“This was our first time leaving our pup and when we found Claire we were so grateful. She was absolutely delightful and so professional We felt totally comfortable with her. Nutmeg warmed up quickly to her and enjoyed their walks together. Loved getting the feedback info and pics each time. Can’t say enough how glad we were to have found Claire.”
About: Not every dog loves the world around them—and that’s okay. I have a special interest in working with reactive, anxious, and fearful dogs. My own dog, Otis, has taught me just how much patience, understanding, and thoughtful handling can help dogs feel safer on walks. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone else with a dog who needs extra support, and my goal is to provide calm, safe, low-stress walks where your dog can feel comfortable and successful. I am comfortable walking dogs who bark, lunge, need extra space, or find the outside world overwhelming. Every dog is an individual, so I tailor each walk to their needs—whether that means choosing quieter routes, giving plenty of distance from triggers, taking sniff breaks, or simply moving at a pace that keeps them regulated. My focus is on positive, calm handling, reading canine body language, and setting dogs up for success. If you're looking for someone who understands reactive dogs and can keep walks safe and low-stress, I’m happy to help. If you’re hoping to work toward calmer walks over time, we can talk about your goals and whether that’s something I can support. I work full time at a vet clinic as a Veterinary Assistant, I am available in the mornings and evenings to do drop in visits - and am able to offer dog walking a few days per week. My house has a lot of structure, and low stress vibe. Balanced energy and clear expectations help a dog to be at peace and help with anxiety and insecurities. Depending on the animals needs I try to find enriching activities that will offer the highest reward, my pup loves to sniff so we do scent work and food scattering in the back yard.
About: Being around dogs comes naturally to me as my family always kept family dogs as well as fostered. I am familiar and comfortable with a variety of large breed dogs, including those I've lived with: Aussie, German/Husky mixes, Komondor, Great Pyrs and female am staffs. I am currently raising and training my own puppy, Pretzel. We have attended several professional training courses together and his training is going very well. At these sessions I was also introduced to first aid measures for dogs, which I hope to never need but I am glad to know. I have a home in Sackville with a very large, fenced yard and am looking for clients in my area. I also like to make healthy dog food toppers and treats in my spare time! I have taken some time off from my full-time job to enjoy my new home and spend more time with Pretzel. I ran a restaurant for five years alongside my mum, and am now savouring some me-time. My schedule is very flexible. I will follow all instructions given for drop-in visits and walks. I would like to get to know your dog and become familiar with his/her environment, and ensure that your animal feels comfortable with me
“Giulia was able to help us out and walk Newton. She was great to deal with, talk too and seemed very knowledgeable. She was professional, left a good report and sent lots of pictures! Thanks again Giulia.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lower Sackville
Claire is so great with Sunny! She tailors Sunny’s walks to meet her slow pace and lets her take in all the sniffs (Sunny’s favourite part of a walk). Claire is beyond kind, caring and flexible. She truly loves all the pets she looks after. Everyone in my neighborhood knows Claire and always comments what a great companion for Sunny during the day when I have to leave her for a long period of time.

There are 488 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Lower Sackville. About 82% of Lower Sackville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lower Sackville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lower Sackville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Lower Sackville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
