Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from playful pup to senior dog with multiple needs. We have boarded dogs for weekends or monthly trips. I send along dog photos of the places we go and people we meet. We have two teenage boys at home that love having a companion. We had a mixed breed dog for 15 years, while I miss her terribly I think having some dogs in our lives would be amazing! I am always up for a walk, play or cuddle. I have experience with bathing, taken obedience classes and dispensing medication. I work mostly from home and have a quiet fall and winter schedule so would be around for the duration of the visit. Your pup will be part of the family! If they like car rides we are the people for that or snuggles on the couch with a good book. Your dog would be well cared for! Yours would be the only dog at our house and have our undivided attention . We have a large yard for quick trips outside on leash and close to parks and trails for longer walks. Depending on the activity level they can even sun bathe on the back deck!

About: I've been walking dogs and sitting for cats for years now, so I've seen it all: the zoomies, the guilt-trip stares, the dramatic sighs when dinner is two minutes late. Dogs get walks matched to their vibe (chill stroll or full sprint, your call). Cats get the respect they clearly believe they're owed, plus their exact routine so nobody starts plotting revenge. Meds, anxiety, quirky habits — I've handled it all and I'm not easily rattled. Basically: your pet gets a sitter who actually knows what they're doing, and probably likes your animal more than most humans. Let's meet! I currently work 730-5pm schedule,Monday through Thursday. I can be free most evening and weekends to help you with your fur baby. I do drive and can take them to parks and swim spots. I offer in the clients home sitting for dogs but can take the kitties to my house :) but I can walk with pups anytime.

We were very impressed with all the ways she goes over and above to ensure your pet is properly cared for. We never worried thanks to her detailed updates. We will use her services again.

My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶

About: Walking dogs was my main part-time job all through elementary and highschool. Now I have a dog of my own so it has once again become part of my daily routine. Sunny and I are always looking for new friends so would be excited to meet your pup! I am a young professional working remotely in the environmental field. I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule to work in some pet care! I am an active person keen to get outside with your pet! I am responsive to pets needs whether that means a trip to the bathroom or a game of tug-of-war.

About: I’m a 37-year-old work from home professional who genuinely loves dogs and currently has a quiet, pet-free home. After losing my own last year due to old age, I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Because I don’t have other pets and only accept one household at a time, your dog will receive my full attention in a calm environment. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering oral medications. My own dog lived with genetic IVDD, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle handling can be. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention and stick to their normal routine. Your dog will be staying in my quiet, 1,400 sq. ft. apartment in Bedford. The building is small, well maintained, and located in a safe neighbourhood right next to a park, making it easy for regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’m on the second floor and right beside the stairwell, so we can head outside quickly without using elevators. I only care for one family’s pets at a time, so your dog will have a calm, comfortable environment during their stay.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire childhood and also currently have 1 very friendly beagle in my apartment! I primarily work from home so am very available to look after a dog :) I generally work from home and will be available to walk and take care of your dog. I will walk your dog with my beagle, Maggie. My dogs are very good with other dogs and very friendly. I will take your dog out frequently and make sure they enjoy the time away from you as much as possible.

About: We have a 13 lbs Shih Tzu who gets along great with most dogs. He is well loved and we would treat your dog the same. I work 8-3 but am off during the summer/ weekdays and holidays. Your dog would have lots of outdoor time and would be well cared for. My dog isn’t crated most days but is able to be. I would prefer to crate both dogs until the 2 became use to each other.

Remi Mae had the best time with Jessica and her dog Lemon! She was amazing at giving daily updates with pictures and videos. Remi was pooped after her weekend full of fun and play! She was super easy to communicate with and treated Remi like her own! I will be taking Remi back to Jessica!! I cannot recommend enough :)

This was our first time using Rover and I have to say like any care situation I was nervous leaving my two dogs (11years and 18 months) with a “stranger”. They too were nervous and wanted to leave with us at drop off. Well I had no need to worry— not only did Gina’s kindness and loving manner towards both pups put me at immediate ease—she was amazing at keeping us updated on how they settled in and playing with her own dogs. We were away for three days for our son’s wedding and her updates and photos really eased my mind and gave me quite the chuckle seeing my older dog cuddled snoozing with her dog. She was AMAZING and we would not only highly recommend we hope to book again in the fall for another weekend.

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda. My dog has a tendency to do marking inside the house, and she handled the situation with so much patience, understanding, and care. She made sure he was always safe, comfortable, and truly happy during his stay. What I really appreciated was how knowledgeable she is, she even gave me helpful advice on how to better manage this behavior in the future. She and her partner are a very kind and experienced couple, and it truly shows in how they care for dogs. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to leave their dog and not have to worry at all while they are away. When I picked my dog up, he was actually missing her, which says everything about how well he was treated.

FAQs for Boarding - Lower Sackville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Lower Sackville on Rover is $48.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Lower Sackville. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 80% 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.

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.

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 sitter.
