“Leaving our dog Harper is never easy, but this experience made it completely stress-free. From the very beginning, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive Marisa was. She went above and beyond to make sure Harper felt safe, happy, and loved, treating her like one of her own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Harper was having a wonderful time, and I could truly relax knowing she was in such capable hands. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Marisa’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thank you for making what is usually a difficult goodbye such an easy and reassuring experience—I will absolutely be booking with you 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!”
“Megan is the best! Our big dog George has an amazing time there with their dog, Sunny. We’ve had multiple stays now and it’s always a good experience, we get lots of photos and we feel like they love George like their own!”
“Liz was so patient with our boys, she also provided tons of updates along with photos! It helped to put our mind at ease when leaving our babies home from vacation! Especially with one struggling with anxiety we greatly appreciated her constant care and attention! 10/10”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with Justin and the amazing care he gave our Tucker! 🐾❤️ Tucker stayed with him for 5 days and 4 nights while we were away in Quebec, and Justin went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker had so much fun playing fetch, going on walks, and visiting the dog park. And of course, he had the best time with Justin’s Golden Retriever, Zoey! They became such good friends. 🥹 It honestly felt like Tucker was staying with his second family. Justin was so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and we could tell Tucker had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We truly appreciate you and Zoey. Tucker definitely has a second family now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with you again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for dogs is what I’m most passionate about. I’ve been caring for pets for over 22 years and have worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for 7 years. Before moving to Nova Scotia, I ran my own pet care business in Vancouver, caring for many wonderful dogs and cats. I’ve since set up my pet care business here in Nova Scotia, and I’m looking forward to meeting more local pets through Rover as well. I like to learn about each pet’s personality, normal routine, and anything else that’s important for me to know. Their safety and comfort are my priority. I always arrange a Meet & Greet with new clients so we can go over everything, answer any questions, and make sure it feels like a good fit for everyone. Certifications ✓ Fear Free Certified Professional ✓ PSI Certified Professional Pet Sitter ✓ Certified Professional Dog Walker ✓ Walks 'N' Wags Pet First Aid Certified I especially enjoy caring for small dogs, and there is a friendly little dog in the home as well. I have a flexible schedule and offer pet care during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions and provide a calm, comfortable home environment. I’m happy to accommodate raw or home-cooked diets and any special meal preparation. I use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products and provide filtered water. I always arrange a Meet & Greet beforehand to make sure it feels like a good fit for everyone.
“"I had a wonderful experience leaving my dachshund with her! Shea is so patient and truly knows how to take care of dogs. Her own dog got along great with mine, which made me feel so at ease. She was always friendly and kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy the entire time. Highly recommend!"”
“Greer was amazing with our dog and us. Received multiple updates and pictures during our pets 2 night stay. She was very responsive and accommodating on short notice! Highly recommend!”
“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! 💙☺️”
About: Hi! My name is Divya. I grew up in Halifax and now live in downtown Dartmouth. I work from home and have an unfenced green space where dogs often play in front of my house. Growing up, I had a German shepherd mix named Lola. She was a little sister to me, and I took care of her into her old age. I understand the patience and care elder dogs need. I have boarded my friends pets for up to two weeks and always send pictures and daily updates. I also take care of my parents dog, Shanti. She is a golden retriever mix. When she was a puppy I ensured she was safe while in heat prior to being spayed. Dogs have always been a part of my life and I hope I can make your canine friend feel safe and taken care of with daily adventures and lots of praise! My job offers the flexibility to work from home. I can easily take your canine friend for morning, lunchtime, and afternoon walks, and an adventure in the early evening. I live alone in a two bedroom, 1 bathroom flat. There is an unfenced field in front of my house where other dogs often run and play. I also can take your canine friends for walks in the Dartmouth Commons, Shubie Park, and to nearby lakes if your doggy is okay with car rides!
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly and her dog. We love our doggo Elliot so very much and unfortunately live far from family and rarely have anyone who can look after our guy. As any pet owner knows, it can be hard to put your trust in someone else to care for your beloved pet but Kim and Henson were the perfect companions to Elliot for our week and a half away. You can tell by Kim’s language and the questions she asks that she is a very experience pet parent who is extremely thoughtful about the wellbeing of your creature. Elliot went on amazing adventures and I won’t be surprised if he’s come home to us with a few of Henson’s wonderful traits. I will absolutely choose Kim again for future stays and hope to see her again soon.”
“Rebecca took great care of Nash during his stay and was very flexible and accommodating for some of his extra needs following dental surgery. It is clear that Nash got lots of exercise and was well loved during his stay. We would highly recommend Rebecca and her family :)”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with taking care of Winnie! She sent several updates throughout the day. Winnie had a great time. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dog! Will definitely book with Jennifer in the future :)”
“Ruck was an amazing sitter for my dog Bailey while I was travelling for a week. His dog Blue and Bailey were great buddies and he was beyond accomodating with my last minute request for a sitter after my plans fell through with another sitter. He sent updates throughout my trip and when I got back late from the airport to a dead car battery he was able to bring Bailey home to me that night! I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope to be able to leave Bailey in his capable hands the next time I’m travelling 🙂”
“Absolutely wonderful !! I worked our of town for a week and left my dog with Kelly. She took great care of my dog with walking feeding and playing . She sent a couple pictures and was very easy to communicate with. No issues at all and if i have another trip out of town She will be first on my list to take care of my pooch ! If I could give 10 stars and 2 thumbs up I would”
“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!”
About: I’m a cat-only Rover sitter offering both boarding and drop-in visits in Bedford. I’ve been a cat owner for over 3 years, and I truly understand that cats need patience, consistency, and a calm environment to feel safe. I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries — whether they’re affectionate, independent, or shy. I don’t force interaction, and I follow your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, litter box cleaning, and check-ins, and I’m home regularly to provide consistent care, monitoring, and calm companionship. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a quiet, clean, cat-only environment with regular feeding, litter box cleaning, and gentle companionship based on each cat’s comfort level. In my client’s home, I focus on feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, checking on behavior and appetite, and sharing photo updates. I always respect a cat’s boundaries and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and consistency.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Lower Sackville is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lower Sackville
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.

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.
