“Cleah looked after our two dogs while we were away and she was amazing! She was easy to contact, always answered promptly and kept us updated when needed. She cuddled our doggies in the evening and we knew they were in good hands! Highly recommend Cleah and will definitely want to hire her again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up! I’ve taken care of family, friends and neighbours pets since I was young. Part time student looking for work I really love doing! I go to school 8am-3pm Monday-Friday until April 2026. I am free weekends and after 3pm weekdays. May- August I am out of school and free full time. I will make sure your pets are safe and loved while in my care. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds and temperaments. Grooming, providing food and water, taking dogs out for walk, taking dogs to vet appointments, administering medication, providing companionship, and following owner instructions.
“We could not be more happy and comfortable with our experience with Alaina. She watched our two big dogs for 5 days while out of province. We had updates, pictures and complete piece of mind! Would not hesitate to recommend her. Our dogs were glad to have us home but definitely miss her now. We will certainly be using her services again!”
“I had the pleasure of having Giulia as a petsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed! She was amazing with my babies, and I truly felt safe and at ease having her take care of them. Her communication was excellent, always keeping me updated and making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. It made such a difference knowing I could rely on her to keep me in the loop. I highly recommend Giulia – she’s kind, responsible, and great with pets!”
“Cherie was wonderful with our dog, Clair! She provided lots of walks, play and cuddles and kept Clair very happy! We didn’t worry about Clair or the house for a minute while we were away. Enjoyed the updates she sent to us too!! So lucky to have found Cherie on Rover!!”
“Jacques stay at our house to look after our two golden retrievers, Daisy and Rufus, and our bearded dragon, Spike. He did a wonderful job maintaining the dogs’ comfortable daily routine, and we really appreciated the daily updates that showed how well everyone was doing. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and perfectly themselves— a good sign of the quality care they received. It was so reassuring to know they were in capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Jacques to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter, and would be very happy to have him back again.”
“Kathleen was so amazing and collaborative! Such great care for our girls and shared lots of photos so we could see they were well taken care of. We really appreciated the communication and flexibility!! She is awesome!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was ten and have been dog sitting for the past 3 years! When I was younger I had a litter of kittens that I had the opportunity to take care of and took care of them until they passed. I have also had experience with fostering and adopting puppies and kittens! Currently I am a student teacher so I would be able to do in house dog sitting if the owner allows their dog to be left alone from 8-3 pm. After 3 pm I would also be available for dog walking! I will provide adequate food, water, play, and outdoor time (depending on the pets needs of course). I will also make sure they are not left alone for too long!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care.

I treat every pet like family and create a loving, stress-free environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular interaction, playtime, and comfort.I am available for house sitting for both cats and dogs, and I can also host cats in my home.

“We were so pleased with Kathy & Chuck. They are truly a dream team for pet and house sitting. Our small, elderly dog seemed completely relaxed and happy with them. We received some photo and video updates when we were away which clearly demonstrated she was enjoying their company. We came home to a tidy home and happy dog. They were very respectful of our home and they were great communicators. Highly recommend! We will be hoping they can come again on our next trip.”
“Everything was great. Leanne let us know when she arrived and sent pictures. She was able to accommodate a same day booking and was comfortable administering meds for our cat. House was exactly how we left it. Would request care from Leanne again!”
“Jasper was a life saver! She was flexible in working with me for a last minute stay with my dog Ted, and took very good care of him, providing me with regular updates and pictures of their walks.”
“Kina was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures. She was at our place for just under a week and left it in great shape. Would definitely ask her to look after our cat again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lower Sackville
We had such a wonderful experience Leanne and truly couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. It was clear right away how much she genuinely cares about animals. While we were away, she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were not only well cared for, but they were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved while we were gone. She went above and beyond in every way, and it made such a difference knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to two very content pups and a home that was better than we left it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter—and we will definitely be booking with her again!
I have known Sarah for almost 20 years. We’ve worked together in the past and, even though we don’t see each other often, she is the kind of person you can reconnect with instantly, as the trust and comfort are always there. That alone says a lot about her character. Sarah has always been incredibly honest, responsible, and dependable. Her passion for animals and all living things is truly special, and it shows in the care she provides. I trust her more than anyone outside of my immediate family (and honestly, even more than some of them, haha) to take care of both my home and my dog. Last year, we trusted Sarah to house-sit and care for our dog for over a week, and I genuinely had zero worries while we were away. I knew she would treat our home with the same care and respect as her own, and that our dog would be safe, loved, and well looked after at all times. Our dog, Nova, is five years old and naturally very nervous, especially around other dogs. From the moment they met, Nova absolutely loved Sarah and wouldn’t leave her side. This was incredibly reassuring for us, especially because we had previously had a very negative experience with doggy daycare, which made leaving our dog extremely stressful. Nova is our baby, and I normally feel a lot of anxiety when we’re apart. Sarah completely changed that experience. She sent regular updates and photos every day, which made our vacation so much more enjoyable because we never had to worry about our dog or our home. Seeing the adventures they went on, the exercise Nova got, and the genuine happiness on her face honestly melted our hearts. Nova truly lived her best life while Sarah was caring for her... to the point where I think she was genuinely sad when Sarah left! We absolutely plan on booking Sarah again this year and every time she is available. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your home and your dog are in such capable, loving, and trustworthy hands is truly priceless!! I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough and would trust her without hesitation!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lower Sackville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lower Sackville on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lower Sackville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lower Sackville walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 73% 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.
