“Courtney house sat my three fur babies for the first time the other day. I will have her again. I completely trust her with my most precious fur children. The house was the way I left it, neat and tidy. She kept in contact with me, with pictures and how they were doing. I felt at ease so I was able to enjoy myself. I would not hesitate to have her back again. Thanks Courtney!”
About: I have dog shelter experience from 2018 (for 1 year) and I've been volunteering at the SPCA in Dartmouth since January 2024. I'm trained to understand dogs behaviours and needs. I grew up with small breed dogs, but I have the time, patience, and energy to work with any breed. I have dog-sat for neighbours and family members over the years, and I regularly walk my neighbour's pitbull. I'm able to brush, trim nails, and administer medication by request. I'm self employed and make my own schedule. I usually only work 4-5 hours in the afternoons so I'm free most mornings and evenings to care for your pets! I will follow any rules and diet you have in place pertaining to your home and pets. Your privacy and your pet's well-being are always my top priority.
“Cleah did a great job taking care of my pug while I was away. She gave her lots of attention and exercise. Cleah even gave her a treat for her birthday. I never had to worry. I knew my dog was in good hands.”
“Samantha is a phenomenal sitter - our animals adore her and are so well cared for when she’s here. The house is immaculate when we come home and she was very flexible with our travel plans. Would absolutely book with Samantha again.”
“Karly was AMAZING! The daily updates and activities with our dog were so appreciated. It was our first time finding a pet sitter through Rover and it feels like Bodhi was on vacation just as much as we were. We can’t recommend her enough ?”
“Mallory did an excellent job with our anxious labradoodle Bindi while we were away. Mallory also left our house clean and tidy. We have already booked her again for a longer sitting and we would highly recommend Mallory to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter!”

“Zakia was a very responsible, attentive, and kind dog sitter to our sweet Ruby. Knowing Ruby is an active small dog, Zakia took the time to take Ruby on her favourite walks and explored green spaces and trails. Zakia and her partner made sure to send plenty of pictures and videos of Ruby and asked questions to clarify about her care instructions. Ruby loves to cuddle and stay close to people and Zakia didn’t shy away from providing a lot of attention. Our house was also well looked after and in the same condition as we left it——so nice to return to after being away for a week. I highly recommend considering Zakia as a dog sitter/house sitter for your loved pet.”
“Cassandra and Mark provided excellent care for our boy while we were away. They were patient and gentle with our big older dog and administered regular medications. They took great care of our home during some terrible winter weather and entertained the dog in the backyard when it was too icy to walk the neighbourhood. Thank you for keeping our much-loved dog and our home safe while we were away. We will definitely rebook when we travel next time!”
About: I have always had a love for animals and have had pets my entire life. In my adult life, I have happily accepted requests to dog sit over the years. I have taken care of two energetic border collies and even a husky that was as big as me! This usually has required me to stay in the dogs’ home for a week or more. Having also taken care of my own 9 year old dog from a puppy, I have both personal and professional experience caring for dogs! I am currently working part time until I start school in the fall, so my schedule is quite flexible! I teach a few yoga classes during the week and work in the studio for a few hours on the weekends, but am happy to accommodate! I have pets of my own, so I would only be taking care of your pet in their own house or outdoors if necessary. I have the proper seat protectors in my car, so would be happy to drive with pets as well.
About: I love long walks on the beach and deep, meaningful conversations. I guess one-sided ones. I’m happy with all dogs, I have experience with most. I’m using Rover as a way to test out which breed I’ll want to adopt, and the side cash isn’t bad either. I’ll give excellent care to your furry friend with tons of pictures to prove it! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk your furry one! I eventually want to foster my own so Rover is my way of trying on all different breeds, while boosting my serotonin levels☺️ I have tons of dog toys, I can play around the house. I’ve given baths if needed. Each dog is so unique so I tend to adjust depending on their personality. If your dog is chill, I will lay with them. If they want to run, I will run with them. I absolutely LOVE walks and exploring the city, so rest assured your little one will be well ventured and given lots of pats!
About: Your pets are my number one! I am a responsible, heartfelt person. I go out of my way to give your pets the best attention and care I can provide in the timeframe I’m there I’m looking to add more critter care to my days and get out for more walks in nature! I’m unable to have a dog of my own at this time, but I have much puppy love to give to yours when you’re unable! I’m available to come to you, and your home. Unfortunately I cannot have dogs stay in my home at this time. But, I’ve stayed at friends homes with their animals and it’s always great! Your home will be well cared for, along with your animals
“Holly sent us videos and pictures of our boys while we were away, she was very sweet on our meet and greet before we left as well. She communicated often and was on time for everything. She took great care of our home and it was just like we left it when we returned.”
About: About Me Hi! I'm a dependable and passionate animal lover with a deep appreciation for all dog breeds and temperaments. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I bring the time, patience, and care they need to feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I work a fly-in, fly-out schedule, which means I have dedicated stretches of time off during the week—perfect for giving your pets the focused attention they deserve. When I’m not working, my priority is providing a safe, calm, and enriching environment for animals. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just a quiet cuddle on the couch, I’m here to make sure your dog feels at ease and cared for. You can count on me for reliable communication, flexible availability, and a true love for what I do. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! I am working a 2 weeks on - 2 weeks off kind of schedule. Leaving me free as a bird throughout the week for half of every month. Currently offering in home drop by’s. walking services, and overnights as needed. I can house cats overnight only, as my apartment doesn’t allow for dogs.
About: I have had numerous pets of all sorts (dogs of various breeds, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, and lizards) since I was a young kid. I am excited to offer dog walks, play sessions and pet sitting services so you can feel confident your furry friends are well cared for while you are away. I am available daily work walks and pet sitting services. I am able to do overnight pet care in your home where your pets feel safe and secure. I am dog walking for individual customers (not group walks) to ensure safety of each pet. I can also offer in-home pick ups and drop offs and crating if you prefer your pet be crated when home alone.
About: I have been an animal lover for years! I firmly believe we don’t deserve the unconditional love we get from them! I want to make sure they get that love too! I walk my dog every evening and would love to have others join us! I do work M-F, and am able to walk dogs after work and on weekends. I am happy to come get your baby and take him on a hike at the end of day. So you don’t have too!! I would be taking them on local trails, and walking areas. Dog parks, and play dates are a must! Whatever area your in, we can come to you.

Keisha E.Star Sitter
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Keshia for several years, and I can confidently say that her dedication to the care and well-being of animals is unmatched. As a passionate animal lover and responsible pet owner, Keshia brings a wealth of experience and compassion to everything she does. She owns two cats, whom she adores and treats like family, and she also volunteers her time at the SPCA, where she helps care for animals in need and supports adoption efforts. Keshia is reliable, patient, and attentive—qualities that are essential in a trusted dog walker. Her calm and confident demeanor puts both pets and their owners at ease. She understands animal behavior and takes the time to ensure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog’s individual needs. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same care and respect she gives her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Keshia. Your furry companions will be in excellent hands.”

Sarah M.
“Once you meet Sarah, you will see how wonderful she is with pets. I needed a house sitter for my cat and two dogs. When Sarah stopped over for our meet and greet, everyone wanted her attention. Sarah is kind and fun and very relaxing to be around and it showed with my dogs who adored her. This was very apparent when I came home, the dogs ran to the door to welcomed me home and then went to the window looking for Sarah to come back. My feelings weren't hurt but maybe the dogs were. You wouldn't have even known Sarah stayed here, she is very tidy. I definitely hope the next time I need to go away, Sarah will be available. She's literally one in a million”

Lower Sackville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alaina was fantastic as always! We felt so great knowing she was at our house looking after our pups while away.
Claire did such an amazing job overnight taking care of Otis my 7 mos old puppy! I was able to enjoy my weekend away for a wedding without having to stress!! She sent pictures/ videos/ texts daily to let me know how the day/ night was going. Highly recommend her :)
Karly was super sweet and very accommodating when I needed someone last minute to help with my senior dog Penny ! Having never left Penny with anyone but friends in her 14 years Karly made me feel comfortable and confident she would be well taken care of. Penny can be a bit more work in her older years and that was not an issue at all. I was updated throughout all the days we were gone. Penny was happy and relaxed when we got back. Would 100% recommend and will use her again if we need to !!!
Giulia amazing as always. The girls had the best weekend and were tuckered out at bedtime every day. We highly recommend Giulia for your fur babies
I continue to request Jordan for her pet care. She is reliable, has great communication and we trust her with our home and our pets!
Allison is an absolute gem! To say she is an animal advocate is an understatement! She was fabulous with my two cats! She kept me up to date every day on how they were doing! She sent me videos and pictures. Some pictures of her snuggling with my cats! They loved her! She also looked after my house and kept it clean! I will definitely ask her to look after my babies again!
