“Gigi was super sweet and took amazing care of Pepita! She sent pictures and updates every day, and took her on some fun adventures. I’m super grateful to her for taking such good care of my puppy. I will definitely rebook with her in the future! 💙☺️”
“Amanda is an exceptional boarding host who provides a warm, loving home away from home. Her place is in a tidy, quiet neighbourhood, and her beautifully maintained front and back yards are wonderful spaces for dogs to play and enjoy themselves. What truly sets Amanda apart is the time, attention, and affection she gives to the pets in her care. She is incredibly patient and understands how to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Her commitment to cleanliness and their well-being is evident in everything she does. Knowing Leo was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and loving sitter!”
About: Since a I little girl I have loved all sorts of animals. I have had everything from dogs, to amphibians to reptiles! though i have never personally owned a cat, their company has been something i’ve always adored when visiting family and friends. As well as, I have worked with large animal veterinarians for the last two summers learning to care medically and compassionately for all sorts of different species. I am home the majority of the time when not in classes. My classes are few and far in between with lots of time to hangout with your animals and give them the best care. As someone who has owned high maintenance reptiles, I know how to follow relaxed and strict care for all animals. Your routine will be followed accordingly and to the pets benefit!
About: I grew up on a farm so I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was small. We have always had dogs and cats around the house and the farm and we learned the importance for caring for and loving animals. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbours. More recently, I have taken care of a whole litter of puppies while my friend was away on vacation. My passion for animals has sparked me getting a dog of my own which has led me to experience all the joys that come along with puppies and dogs in general. I would be so happy to meet your lovely pet and get the chance to take care of them for a bit! I’m currently working full time as a teacher but I am free after school hours and on weekend to take care of your fur baby! I have a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company if they like other dogs. If they prefer one on one attention that is no problem either! I am very flexible and accommodating. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority!
“Coleen and Francis were wonderful! They cared for Ava even with some unexpected health things came up for her, and easily managed her medications and kept us up to date.”
“Daryl was wonderful !!! We returned to a happy and healthy pup and it was clear that she had a good time. I was very pleased with the level of care and attentiveness. And, she now has a new best friend ! We will be using his services again in the future.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom for 12 years, I know just how much our pets mean to us! I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to provide the same love, patience and attention that you would. Having recently said goodbye to my beloved dog, I’m looking forward to opening my heart and home to other pups. I have plenty of love to give and would be delighted to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs or simply curling up on the couch, I’m happy to tailor their stay to their personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, and my goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure and right at home. I’m also happy to share regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands! I work full-time, remotely, and enjoy an active lifestyle, with plenty of room in my routine for flffy company! Having been a dog mom for many years, I’m very familiar with balancing work, walks, feeding schedules, playtime and, of course, lots of cuddles. I offer both doggy daycare and overnight boarding, including weekdays and weekends, depending on my schedule. I love getting outside for walks and am equally happy spending a cozy evening at home. I’m flexible and happy to discuss your dog’s individual needs to make sure their stay fits comfortably into both of our routines! I live in a comfortable, dog-friendly apartment building in Halifax, where there are lots of grassy areas and parks near by for walks on leash. With no other pets currently in my home, your dog can enjoy plenty of individual attention in a calm, relaxed environment. I’m attentive and will follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe and settled.
“Christine was wonderful with Renly! He had a great week with her and came home happy and well cared for. She was very responsive, sent regular updates and photos of their adventures, and was incredibly accommodating with his medications and potty breaks. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely have Renly stay with Christine again!”
“Rain was lovely to deal with and took wonderful care of Ellie! Rain accommodated Ellie however she could, checked in with me and sent lots of pictures! Ellie was happy when I picked her up and I could tell she enjoyed her stay! We will definitely be going back!”
About: Experienced dog sitter who has loved and cared for dogs my entire life! I’ve raised everything from small Shihtzu-Maltese mixes to large, energetic Golden Retrievers. I'm currently completing my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a certificate in animal welfare, so I have a deep understanding of animal health and behavior. I also spent a year volunteering at the SPCA, working with all sorts of sizes and temperaments, from fresh puppies and kittens to sweet senior rescues. Beyond dogs and cats, I have 12 years of horseback riding experience, which includes working with foals, and I also competed in 4-H dog obedience. I also have a lot of farm-sitting experience looking after cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand understanding of high-maintenance pet care. I have a large Golden Retriever of my own (who currently lives with my parents). He has a specialty diet and requires a ton of attention and exercise, so even though he isn't living with me at the moment, I know exactly how stressful it can be to leave your pets in the care of a stranger. Because of him, I am meticulous about routines, feeding schedules, and medication. I am also very kind, reliable, and a great person to work with, and I have references available if you need them. I am incredibly careful with my clients and their pets. I understand how important it is for them to be safe, and I promise to treat them exactly like my own while they are in my care. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure your pup feels completely safe and loved! I am currently a full-time student that lives very close to campus so I am able to return to the apartment every 2-3 hours to ensure your pet is getting frequent access to bathroom breaks, and is being played and snuggled with! I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings and would love to structure these around a furry friend! When Watching Pets in Your Home: My priority is keeping your pet safe and comfortable in the environment they know best. Because my student schedule allows me to leave campus frequently, I am able to check in on your home and pet at regular intervals throughout the day. I also ensure I am keeping your home clean and safe while visiting for drop-ins or walks, ensuring doors are locked, lights are off, and any garbage is where it belongs. When Watching Pets in My Home: Your pet will be treated like a member of the family in my apartment. Since I live right next to campus, your furry friend will never be left alone for long stretches of time. I ensure your pet is kept on a leash and is never put in harms way!

About: I had over 16 years looking after my own baby and now I have so much love to give :) I will treat your pet with as much love and care as our own little baby :) I want to help other dog owner feel comfortable and safe to leave their pets in a loving environment while they were away. Your dog will be given lots of love, cuddles, space, and walks. Your dog is welcome on the couch or bed, they are welcome to wander our apartment. I work from home throughout the week, so I am very flexible to look after your pet and meet any kind of schedule that you may need! I live in a small, brand new apartment, but I love taking dogs for walk along the harbour, or point pleasant park if they are up for it :)
“Kate was so easy to work with. She boarded our dog for a weekend and we were thrilled with her. She asked questions when they arose and made sure to follow our instructions and schedules . She kept me up to date with text messages and photos. Overall, very happy with Kate and would definitely book again.”
“My two energetic goldens had a great time! They got lots of walks, fetch and cuddles. They clearly felt at home. I got plenty of photo and video updates and great communication. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Ollie had a wonderful time hanging out with Celia. She was very responsive and accommodating. This was our first time leaving our guy with someone on the Rover app and Celia did an amazing job sending picture updates making us confident Ollie was settling in well! We will definitely be sending Ollie for more sleepovers!”

Gina is one of the kindest dog lovers I’ve ever met. She treated my two pups as if they were her own. Upon their third visit to stay with her for the weekend they were so excited to see her and settled into cuddles and playing with her dogs immediately. I easily could leave them and knew they were happy! Her photos throughout the weekend also solidified my comfort knowing they were well cared for and comfortable.
David and Emma were fantastic with our dog, Stanley. He has quite a few quirky routines and specific needs, and they took excellent care of him and followed everything perfectly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them look after Stanley again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
