“Danny was wonderful! She was super friendly and took such great care of Ari and Winter. She played with them so well and sent us amazing photos during every visit, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“I found Heather as someone in close proximity to our house and was very impressed with her from our first messages She watched our 3 cats for 12 days. She was excellent. The cats loved her, including my cranky senior. Heather communicated with me daily and sent lots of pictures. She is an A+ pet sitter.”

“I ended up in the hospital for a few days and needed someone last minute to check in on my dogs. Leanne answered that call and went above and beyond what was asked of her. One of the dogs can take a bit to warm up to people and he was her fan from day one. I can't thank you enough for the help! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, administering oral medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind :) I’m currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. I always do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I keep a clean, secure environment, pay close attention during walks, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands.

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.
About: I've had loads of pet experience over the years, from early childhood to present day. I grew up in a rural setting where there were always animals around...farm animals such as chickens, pigs and turkeys. As for house pets, I've had MANY...several dogs over the years, too many cats to count, rabbits and hamsters. In my younger years I had a Poodle, a Samoyed, a Beagle and Cocker Spaniel. As for cats, well...let's just say our family was crazy for cats...I remember at one point in my youth, I had 10 at once! Later in life my husband and I had two Maincoons (Missy and Buster) who were literally the loves of our lives. We still miss them terribly and always think about them. In my 20s I worked at a pet store, where I also took care of the animals there (cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and fish). In my 30s I worked as a dog walker, which was very rewarding and so, so much fun. I would walk and care for three to six on any given day. I would pick them all up at each of their homes, each taking their preferred seat in my Jeep (the smallest one always insisting she sit in the front seat) and head out on our adventures for the day! These days I have several dogs in my orbit that belong to family members and friends. We have one in particular that we care for in our home periodically for our friends...Gordon the golden doodle, a.k.a. our nephew. All that being said I feel that I have a lot of experience and love to offer your fur babies, along with an endless supply of hugs, snuggles and kisses! Halifax is my permanent home but commute out of province for work. I am home for roughly half of the month, days vary but on average I'm home anywhere from 13-18 days a month and usually anywhere from 6-13 days at a time. I do get my schedule one month in advance on the 25th of each month, at which point I would update my calendar. I currently care for a friends dog periodically when they are away for a few days or sometimes longer. He has the run of the house, not crated and sleeps with us...not spoiled at all. We of course take him on walks and have play time...all the time.

About: Hi there, I’ve been taking care of dogs for at least 10 years. I am easygoing and approachable and dogs seem to warm up to me incredibly quickly. I warm up just as quickly. I’m happy to walk dogs, let them out for pee breaks or house sit for you. Dogs are such good companions. My goal is to fill my week with as many dog visits I can until I decide what my next full time position will be I treat all dogs I meet like they are members of my family. I respect all the owners rules and training. I don’t require the dogs to love me from the first visit but I’m sure that they will

“Cleah was such a lovely sitter for our two cats when we were away. She dropped in once a day and gave us great updates. We were able to enjoy our trip stress free knowing she was there. Will definitely rebook!”

About: My name is Emma C. and I am a 32 year old woman living in Halifax, Nova Scotia and am the sole operator of Homeward Hounds Dog Boarding. I work from home in the North End of Halifax so am flexible for visits/walks, etc., and have a fenced in backyard. I also have a car so we can go on adventures if that’s something your pooch enjoys! I grew up constantly surrounded by animals - in fact I can't remember a time in my life where I wasn't. I am a true animal lover, have experience fostering dogs and would absolutely love to walk, dog sit, or just hangout with your furry best friend! I am a caring individual and pride myself on my ability to give whatever task I take on my all. If you choose to have me hang with your pooch I guarantee you won't be disappointed :) I work from home and have a flexible schedule so your dog will rarely be alone during the day - apart from the occasional errand run! I have a fenced in yard and offer an open environment for dog care. I also encourage furniture naps if that’s something your dog enjoys!
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve been training and nurturing animals my whole life. I’m responsible, reliable, patient, intuitive, adaptive, communicative, observant, affectionate & trustworthy. I have a flexible daily routine and can easily adapt to your fur baby’s schedule of feeding, exercise, play time and activities. Cuddles are unlimited! Pet care is the priority, but so is your home - rubbish bins, plant/garden care, light snow removal - making sure all is safe & secure.
About: Experienced pet caregiver! I’ve been taking care of my own animals and family/friends since the age of 10. Seeing any kind of animals instantly make my day better and I hope to make you’re fur-babies get all the love and attention they deserve! I work part-time on a shift rotation. My schedule is very flexible and can be available morning, evenings and nights. I am only available mornings and nights on the weekend. I believe trust is very important to have with pets. I am willing to learn and observe what boundaries some pets have (i.e if they enjoy belly rubs or not)
About: Because I have a resident cat of my own, I exclusively accept cat guests to maintain a calm and safe environment. My home is completely cat-proofed, and I will make sure your kitty feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free during their stay I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to spend quality time with our guest cats. Since I love felines, I dedicate my routine to their care, ensuring they get fed on time, have clean litter boxes, and receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day. We have a resident cat at home, so we exclusively board cats. We have extra spare rooms available to provide a safe, quiet, and private space for your kitty to adjust comfortably. I always keep a close eye on their safety and ensure a stress-free environment during their stay.
About: I've had family dogs my whole life, but have had my own dogs for around 8 years now! I love all animals, and I would love to make a pet and their parents day a little easier while they're out for fun or at work! I have also worked for the SPCA, and have dealt with many pet personalities. I work 9-5, so I can care for your pet/pets after work, or before work if it's early! I am also available anytime on the weekends. I have a yard at my home and a couch for your pet to relax on, unless they'd prefer a bed! I have one small dog and two cats at home that can keep your furry family member company along with myself. For walking dogs, I may need a leash provided because mine is suitable for smaller breeds. I can also care for your pets in your home if that's preferred.
About: When your fuzzbud comes to stay with my partner Patrick and I, they enjoy fresh ocean air, playtime, warmth and companionship. I work from home Tues/Thurs, and am just a short 3 min drive away M/W/F. On those days, Pat comes home for a lunch time walk between 11am-12pm. We live in a cozy bungalow on a quiet street, just steps from the ocean and close to wooded trails. We have an unfenced forested area in the back with a secure long leash setup for quick breaks, and we love getting outside for walks and little adventures. If you’re travelling, we’d love to be your pet’s home away from home. You can expect lots of care, affection, patience, and calm, attentive energy - so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is in good hands. ❤️ I can be available during the work week (with drop-off before 8:30am). I teach online classes at home during the day Tues/Thursday, but can always offer an early morning/lunch break walk, afternoon yard breaks, and a longer 4:30 trail walk. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and welcoming home environment. Feel free to drop your pet off for an overnight stay, or book them in for longer while you travel worry-free!! I can also do house checks or evening walks!

I ended up in the hospital for a few days and needed someone last minute to check in on my dogs. Leanne answered that call and went above and beyond what was asked of her. One of the dogs can take a bit to warm up to people and he was her fan from day one. I can't thank you enough for the help! Highly recommend!

Danny is incredible! She looked after Sagan for nearly a whole month and was so knowledgeable and attentive. Her communication was great, and she followed every instruction perfectly, including helping give Sagan his medications. We are so grateful for her amazing help and highly recommend her!

Catherine was absolutely amazing to deal with while we were away over New Years and gave us so much peace of mind. They were very well cared for and appreciate the updates and pictures each day, they're very affectionate and clearly loved having her there ❤️ It's our first time using rover and had an excellent experience!

Giulia took wonderful care of our 12-year-old senior lab, Gibson, while we were out of town. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly very comfortable caring for an older dog. Knowing Gibson was in such good hands was a huge stress relief and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We would absolutely recommend Giulia and would not hesitate to use her services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lower Sackville is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 462 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Lower Sackville. About 86% of Lower Sackville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

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.
