“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn't be happier with the care Mike provided while looking after our senior English Bulldog, Diesel, for three days in our home. Mike was kind, caring, dependable, and trustworthy from start to finish. One of the biggest signs of excellent care was how relaxed and content Diesel was when we returned home. There were no signs of stress, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he had been comfortable and well cared for in our absence. Mike kept us updated throughout his stay, sending messages and updates that reassured us Diesel was doing well. He was also punctual, arriving and leaving exactly when he said he would. Our home was left neat and tidy, and it was wonderful knowing we could trust someone both with our beloved dog and our home. We highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using his services again!”
“I am so beyond happy with the services provided, all 5 kitties and my fish were well taken care of and the house was left nice and tidied! Will absolutely hire again in the future :)”
“We have two large, strong, anxious dogs, one of which has trust issues, is reactive, and has a strong prey drive. Both are on daily oral medications, and one must be administered eye drops twice daily. To say our dogs are special needs is an understatement! This is why we haven't been away in the two years since our veterinary hospital closed their fear-free boarding facility. When an opportunity arose to visit family in Saskatchewan, I reached out to our local canine behaviour expert for help. She advised that some of her clients had reported success with Rover.com. That's where I found the amazing Ziya! I truly can't recommend her highly enough. Ziya is a calm, confident, and experienced dog handler. Prior to our trip, Ziya came to meet our dogs, not once, but twice, to make sure that they were comfortable with her, and she with them. As I watched her interact with our dogs, I was immediately put at ease. She was observant and attentive to their behaviour and reactions to her. Our dogs responded so very well to her confidence and experience. Ziya sent us updates and photos while we were away. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our time away, knowing that the boys were under Ziya's wonderful care in their own home. We returned from our trip to happy, well-exercised dogs and a very clean and tidy house. Thank you for giving us back our freedom, Ziya! 🩷”
“Elyas did a superb job in looking after my dog and the house! He was diligent about giving Spencer his meds, he played with him and just gave him lots of attention. My house was spotless when I returned. Elyas went above and beyond with looking after everything and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!”
About: Safety is my love language: safety that comes from structure, structure that is backed by deep philosophy and experience. Whether we're talking about emotional safety (a dog feeling secure and confident to interact with the outside world), or safety for other humans and other dogs, safety for me as a pet professional, and safety for the owners in the habits I'm encouraging the dog to inhabit, my service is based on safety above all because without safety none of us can thrive. I'm busy building a farm care business that expands across Canada. All my waking hours and some sleeping hours too are spent obsessing about pet care, as dogs form the center of this pet care philosophy. Continuing onwards in a concentric circle, cats are followed by other farm animals. When it comes to dogs, i work with treats to encourage a strong place command. Once the place command is clear, i know that any time the pup is off his cushion, it is time for a walk.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Glasgow 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 New Glasgow 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 New Glasgow 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
