“Can not ask for better dog sitter. The moment we met Lisa I knew my dog is in great care. I love that I received an honest feedback about my dog’s stay and Lisa’s willingness to accommodate our needs. Thank you, Lisa, for the great care!”
About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of pets and animals of all kinds ever since I was a teenager who wanted to be a vet (I’m not!). I’ve worked in a vet clinic, boarding facility and on a horse farm. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have a soft spot for senior fur-friends. I’m comfortable giving meds, grooming and with other special needs. I typically work from home one day during the week and am close enough to come home during the day at lunch for outside breaks. We live on a couple of acres and have a 6 year old, extremely friendly, lab and 2 year old cat at home. The yard is not fenced, so it would be leash walks for any visitors. Depending on the comfort level and habits of the dog, visiting fur-friends would be crated when no one is home.
“Moka seemed to have had a great time with Michelle. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, and also provided me updates and photos as this was our first time leaving Moka in someone else's care.”
“We had an excellent experience with Luc! From the very beginning, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog as if he was his own. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and it was obvious he received plenty of attention and affection. We truly appreciated the professionalism and kindness throughout the entire experience. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Wow so happy I got to meet her and leave my Oreo with her. He was anxious but she still managed to keep him calm. And she also send me pictures. She was also very understanding of our situation as we just moved here.”
“Kristina was great with Lia, we have used her services multiple times and will continue using them whenever we need her to dog sit and even boarding. She’ll take pictures of different activities throughout the day. Shell will treat your pet like her own. Highly recommended and not too far away from dieppe just a 15-20min drive”
About: I've been looking after my friends and family pets for many years now. Being a cat mom myself, leaving my babies alone at home is a huge stress, gut-wrenching feeling and I am sure it's the same for you. I will gladly take this burden off your shoulders and provide the love and care every single pet needs and more... got to get some cuddles in for myself too 😉 I've been passionate about animals all my life, having multiple pets of different species at my side since I was a baby. I know how to give medical treatment and I've also trained all of them so I'm comfortable with behavior problems/agression. There is no cat that I could not cut their nails and I've had pretty challenging kitties 😁 If you need to chat first don't hesitate to reach out, I'll gladly answer all your questions. Thank you 😊 Working in schools, I get the summer off. I'm able to provide more quality time for your pets per every visit any day of the week. I take care of all my babies as if they were humans. Healthy feeding, quality time, yearly visit to vet, emergency vet visit, medications and much more
About: With 10+ years of personal animal care experience ranging from everything to dogs and cats all the way to farm animals and whole rabbitries I've been apart of it all! My childhood years were spent looking after dogs, cats, frogs, fish, hamsters, rabbits and just about everything else! My work keeps me flexible throughout the week with Tuesday and Friday nights from 7-9pm and Sundays from 9am to 1pm being my only for sure "away" hours. During the days I'm able to do a lot of work from home to keep your dog company and have a 2024 Chevy Trax SUV in which I can transport and do FREE pickups with 24hr advance notice. I live on a 15 acre country farm property that includes a 1km wooded backyard walking trail and a spacious fenced (electric) backyard homed to our friendly resident goats 🐐My house is a small one bedroom cottage house but perfect to host one large dog or two medium sized! All dogs will remain on leash unless specified otherwise from owner.
“Jessica was a great doggy host, she treated our golden like one of her own and sent lots of updates. It was our first time using Rover and it was such an amazing experience. Thank you so much Jessica, Billie is exhausted from all the puppy play”

About: I have two years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats at an animal shelter. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning kennels, monitoring behaviour, supporting medication routines, and caring for puppies, seniors, and nervous animals. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. My availability varies throughout the week, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents can see when I am available. I can provide scheduled walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and communicate promptly if there are any changes or concerns.ɓ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully. Before each walk, I check the leash, collar, or harness and stay alert to traffic, unfamiliar animals, and escape risks. I maintain a clean environment, respect clients’ homes, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are safe
About: I can administer insulin for those diabetic fur babies. I love brushing and grooming. I have experience in nail trimming. I love playing with cats and giving them all the attention they deserve. Litter box cleaning is no problem, as I do mine daily.

About: I live in Beautiful Memramcook and own 2 goldendoodles age 5 and 6. I have owned dogs all my life and I am now in my 40's. I can care for puppies to senior dogs. I have a large property ideal for play and on leash walks or off leash if your dog is obediant. I am home all day so dogs will have on site supervision. I am home everday. I can care for your dog like it was at home with its loving pawrents. My 2 dogs are very friendly and well mannered. I can crate your dog at night if you wish or they can sleep freely anywhere in the house. For the moment I have a tie down in the backyard and will be adding a kennel in the near futur. I am home so dogs will not be left unsupervised.
“Kristina was so attentive with Lia she had lots of fun. Took pictures and videos to send to me to show how she is doing. The big field allows my dog to run around and she has a long leash like 200ft to use as well. Very quick to Respond and caring, I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: Canine first aid valid until March 2027. I grew up having cats and dogs and am always the first to volunteer to pet sit; which lead to having a friend's Australian Shepherd stay with us for month and when he went home I signed up for Rover. It has been an absolute joy helping people with their pet care needs that I'm now walking and sitting as well as training to be able to groom dogs as well. One of the biggest perks or being self employed is that I make my own schedule and can work from anywhere. It give me the flexibility to make sure your furry friend is well taken care of Our house manager ( Ayla, our oldest cat) has put her foot down and made it none she will not tolerate dogs in our home. That being said I'm happy to come to your place sitting anywhere from a half day to 2 weeks. I don't take dogs to dog parks, I believe in the rather safe than sorry philosophy when it comes to caring for animals. This is the same reason I keep them on leash. I do have a couple of 50 foot leads so they can run and explore while always being in eye sight
“Thanks so much Jessica for looking after Jolene! She was so excited to come back and and seemed to have a great time. Also appreciate your flexibility on timing on such short notice!”

About: I grew up with dogs in the home and have had pets myself for over 10 years (cats and dogs). I have previous pet sitting experience as well. I have experience caring for farm animals, reactive pets, pets with separation anxiety, dietary restrictions, flight risks, large dogs, administering medications and training pets. I have a casual work position which allows me to create my own schedule and provides maximum availability and flexibility. I can be available on short notice or for long periods of time, whatever is needed! I can provide dog walking, drop in visits as often as needed while you are away or in home care so your fur babies can feel comfortable in their own home.
About: I've been around animals my whole life, and I love taking dogs for walks. In my free time, I also enjoy horseback riding and walking dogs for SPCA, I've even babysat a friend's hamster. Going for walks and enjoying the outdoors is a passion of mine. I'm looking for extra income in addition to my job, so I'm offering dog-walking services during my free time throughout the week. I'll do my best to accommodate your needs, whether it's walking your dog around your neighborhood or taking them to a nearby dog park if required. I have my own transportation, so I'm flexible when it comes to your location. I'm currently working full-time, and my schedule varies slightly from week to week. Feel free to check my availability. That being said, if there's a day that's not listed, please don't hesitate to ask, as things could change! When dog walking, my primary focus is on the well-being and happiness of the dog. I start by ensuring the dog is securely leashed and comfortable with their equipment. During the walk, I choose a safe route, preferably the one that the dog knows, taking into account the dog's pace and preferences. I pay close attention to their body language, allowing for breaks when needed. Socialization with other dogs and people is carefully managed, and I always clean up after them. Clear communication with the dog owner is a priority, providing updates on the walk's progress. My goal is to provide a enjoyable and safe experience for the dog, promoting their physical and mental health.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was 4, first animal being a yellow canary named Sunshine. Since then I’ve never lived without pets. I have the most experience with cats, but have owned dogs, fish, hamsters and lizards. Comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I’m currently unemployed and have all kinds of time to provide the best care for your animals when life gets in the way. I will be available on a daily, weekly or occasional basis. I will treat all animals with the care and comfort I provide my own. I have an 4X4 and love taking adventures which provides lots of room for companions to accompany me on hikes.
