About: I grew up with two labs and a little grey cat, as well as the bonus cats I was in charge of feeding whenever my neighbours went out of town.

I am comfortable with large dogs as well as small ones.

About: Lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my Australian Shepherd, Pepper 🐾 My home is calm, cozy, and very dog-friendly. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—no long hours alone. I’m experienced with daily routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for puppies (with all the patience and consistency they need!) as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler, more relaxed approach. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers to cuddle and relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets lots of attention and keep a consistent routine. I’m home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I’m in the office, but I’m located very close to home and can easily come back for check-ins, walks, and care as needed. Overall, I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and never left alone for long. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the main floor, which means quick and easy access to the outdoors for bathroom breaks and walks—no long waits or elevators needed. We’re also located near great off-leash parks and walking areas, perfect for getting in lots of exercise and fresh air (always based on your comfort level and your dog’s needs). Inside, my home is clean, calm, and set up to be a safe, cozy environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, responsible, and always mindful of each dog’s routine, safety, and well-being.
“This was my second time booking with Hayley and Lucy, and once again it was a great experience! They took wonderful care of my babies, followed all of my care instructions, and provided lots of pictures and detailed updates throughout the stay. Knowing they were so well cared for gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Hayley and Lucy to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters, and I will definitely book with them again!”
“Keisha is fantastic! She checked in on my very shy and sometimes saucy 3 year old Himalayan cat, Walter. She managed to make him feel comfortable enough to come out to greet her on his own, which is not something he does often. I highly recommend Keisha. She’s great!”
“Erica is fantastic with our senior cats and has no problem with administering medications and adapting to their quirks. 10/10 would recommend Erica and trust her with our fuzzy family members”
“Marie and Dan were wonderful caretakers of our cat and our home while they stayed at our place for a week. They provided wonderful care for our senior cat, and provided updates and photos of our girl throughout their stay. They asked good questions, came and met her before we left, and were responsible cat sitters. We are very grateful for their help!”
About: I welcome all dogs into my home,. Small, large, energetic and subdued. Growing up with all different varieties of dogs has given me a confidence when dealing with all sorts of behaviors. I can relate to them, and be sure I'm giving them the care they need, where it be a run in the woods, our a casual walk around the neighborhood. I also volunteer at the SPCA as a dog companion, which has given me the opportunity to learn from my peers in all sorts of animal behavior. You can count on me to give your dog the attention they deserve. I also have an 8 year old Siberian Husky, who loves other dogs if they would like a playmate. If your dog is more into relaxing alone, that's also no problem. I currently work from home, so you can rest assured your pet will have companionship, 24/7. I like to fit in at least three walks a day, depending on your dog's needs. I have a fenced yard, where your dog can move freely and get familiar with their new surroundings. I also make a point to always dedicate a safe, private space in my home for my dog guests, where they can relax, and feel safe.

She sent me update photos on how my cat was doing while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. Very professional. Will book again and would recommend.”
“Kate is awesome! I felt totally at peace knowing my senior cat was being cared for so well. They took careful notes, kept me updated, and I got great communication! They had no difficulties giving Clyde his medicine and i came home to a very happy kitty!”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat, a sweet Siamese/Himalayan mix who lived to 17. After years of caring for her through every stage of life, from kitten days to senior care, I have the capacity to offer thoughtful, reliable care to other beloved cats. I’m experienced with cats of all ages and personalities, including those who are shy, require medication, or just prefer quiet companionship. I can assist with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, medication or ointment application, and playtime based on your cat’s needs and comfort level. Along with personal experience, I’ve also cared for the cats of friends and family through drop-in visits and sitting, and I always make it a priority to follow each cat’s unique routine closely.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, and am currently the proud owner of an 8-year-old beagle, Stella. She's very friendly with lots of friends and playmates, so our home is well adapted to four-legged visitors and guests :) I'm a freelance translator who works from home, with a flexible schedule and generally light workload, leaving me plenty of time to look after other dogs besides my own, including long walks and fun outings to the park. I have a great set-up to board dogs in my home: I live with my dog (8-y.o.) and cat (10-y.o.) in a bright, clean suite with a nice balcony in a very pet-friendly apartment complex in the North End of Halifax. There's a semi-private courtyard out front where dogs like to congregate and socialize, I'm in a very walkable neighborhood close to downtown, the Commons and the waterfront, and I have a safe, reliable car that I use to take my dog and others on fun outings to the park (Point Pleasant Park is a favorite destination). In addition, I'm certified in Pet First Aid by St. John Ambulance (Oct. 29, 2023 - certificate available for viewing in photos).
“Gail looked after our puppy Ernie during the day for a month and it went exceptionally well. Ernie was so well looked after, taken on walks, taken to the park and given lots of love. Her daily report cards were detailed and greatly appreciated. I can't thank Gail enough, she took incredible care of our little guy. I would highly recommend her, I know I will be booking her again anytime I need some doggy daycare!”
“Natalia was amazing with my dog, Robin, who takes a while to warm up and can be very nervous bc of her past. Natalia was communicative all day, and spoiled Robin, who looked so happy in the photos I received. She has a calm, intentional presence and I knew Robin was in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Ben for looking after Remi for daycare! I greatly appreciated the photo updates which put my mind at ease while I was at work. This was the first time I used a sitter from rover and it was a very positive first experience.”
About: I’ve loved animals from a young age and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including a puppy, several cats, and even fish both as a child and as an adult. This has helped me understand the different needs and behaviors of animals—from energetic dogs to independent cats and the consistency required for maintaining a healthy aquarium. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce basic routines, and I’m equally comfortable with cats, respecting their space while still giving them attention and care. My experience with fish has also made me detail-oriented when it comes to feeding schedules, cleanliness, and maintaining a stable environment—skills that carry over into all types of pet care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine closely. I also keep owners updated so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. I plan my day to ensure I have dedicated time for feeding, walks, playtime, and general care, so pets receive consistent attention and are never rushed. I’m comfortable incorporating morning and evening routines, as well as check-ins during the day if needed. Whether it’s taking dogs out for walks, spending time playing, or ensuring cats and other pets are fed and comfortable, I make sure their routine is followed closely. I treat pet care as an important and enjoyable part of my routine, not just an extra task. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for. I make sure they have a dedicated space to rest, access to fresh water, and a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and relaxation. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and attention. For cats, I ensure a quiet, comfortable space while also giving them interaction on their terms. I’m also experienced in caring for fish, maintaining feeding schedules and a clean, stable environment. Pets are always supervised, and I focus on creating a stress-free atmosphere where they feel safe and at ease. I keep the home clean and organized and provide updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and in good hands. Overall, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout their stay.
About: I’ve had three cat for more than 6years, I can take care of them very well. For dogs, I’m always the one that my friends comes to when they are away and needs a responsible dog walker. One of my friend’s dog is very energetic and a little hostile to other large dogs, so I took him out very early in the morning to dogs park and play frisbee with him. For my weekly routine, I’m currently working part-time and the schedule is not always fixed. Please contact me few days before you need the service. I have a 6 years old male nutered ragdoll at home, very friendly and easy going with other cats but not sure about dogs. I live in an house and sharing it with my girlfriend.
“Trent was amazing. Mabel was tired out for the rest of the night. When I went to pick her up she wasn’t even excited to see me because she had so much fun. Looking forward to booking with him in the future.”
“Greer was very sweet and took great care of Fluff. She provided us with many updates. I don't think Fluffy even knew we were gone. He made himself right at home lol. I would definitely book with Greer again. She was amazing and we were very grateful to have Fluff in such considerate hands.”
About: We've recently had to say goodbye to our adored 16 year old Miniature Dachshund and our family of four is seeking to share our home and love with other dogs. I am available to care for your dog during the day as I am not working and our two older children are in school. I am often not away from the house for more than 1 -2 hours at a time and I love spending time outdoors. We live in a pet friendly neighbourhood with sidewalks and easy access to both paved and wooded paths near the lake for lots of walks. While our backyards is not fully fenced, we do have a walkout deck and private grassy and wooded area for play and supervised breaks. We have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I would be excited to learn more about your pet and can tailor my care for their unique needs. I am available 24/7 to care for your pet. I can provide undivided attention to your pup during the day and we can offer lots of attention and play given all family members are dog lovers. Typically, someone is always home and if not, we're only away for 1-2 hours at a time. Your pet will have access to our entire house; however, we also have secure gates available should you wish to resist to the main level. We also have a pet stroller should your dog have any mobility issues.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs—not professionally, but personally and passionately. Growing up with dogs taught me that they’re not just pets; they’re family. In 2021, my wife and I brought home our furbaby, Kopi, when he was just a puppy—and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We even brought him with us from the Philippines to Canada because he’s family to us in every way. I walk Kopi three times a day—every morning and twice in the evening—and we run together twice a week (Tuesdays 3K, Thursdays 5K) to keep him active and healthy. He’s potty trained, well-socialized, and loves meeting new furry friends. If your pup needs a walking buddy or a loving companion while you're away, me and Kopi would be thrilled to be your dog’s next best pawwwllls! 🐾💙 You can count on me to treat your pet with the same care and love I give to my own—like family. Just message me and if I'm free, let's make your pup happy! Since I'm already walking my dog(kopi) three times a day, adding another pup to the pack is no problem at all! Walks aren’t just routine for me—they’re a fun, essential part of your dog’s day. I see it as their time to stay active, explore the world, and enjoy meeting (and sniffing!) their furry friends. Whether it's a quick stroll or a longer adventure, I'm happy to match your dog’s pace and energy. Let me know your preferred times—morning, afternoon, or evening—and I’ll do my best to fit it in! You can trust that I’ll treat both with the utmost respect and care. When I’m out with your pup, I always stay alert and mindful of the environment. I carefully observe surroundings to avoid potential hazards and make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable at all times. As a fellow dog parent, I understand how important it is to leave your furbaby in trustworthy hands. You can count on me to care for them just like I do my own—lovingly, responsibly, and with plenty of tail wags.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, my dad always had 3-4 dogs around and I love to play, feed and walk them. I raised a pup until the age of 13. I have taken care of dogs of all ages including 2 senior dogs 10+, I’m very well equipped to manage puppies and senior dogs and everyone in between. I will take very good care of your dog and will make sure it feels safe and loved. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule so I can accommodate daily walks and more. I’m available for boarding on weekends and anytime after 5PM. I live in a good sized ground floor apartment with access to a fenced backyard with no other pets around. I live 5 minute walk away from Needham Park so there will be lots of opportunities for walks and to play. I can accommodate any type of dog and will ensure they feel safe and cared for.
“Jessica was great with Roxie. She got exercise and I felt comfortable leaving her there due to Jessica’s knowledge of dog behaviour. We will definitely use her again.”
“Nicole was amazing! Loki went to the lake, ran around the dog park, played with Nicole and her housemates and had an incredible time throughout. He’s snoozing now after a busy day of activity, excitement and fun. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I recently said goodbye to my two senior pets, my sweet greyhound and my talkative Siamese/Himalayan mix, who lived to 14.5 and 17. After years of loving and caring for them, I find myself missing the daily rhythm of walks, meals and quiet cuddle time. That’s why I’ve joined Rover: to share my time and care with other people’s beloved pets. I’m experienced with senior animals and pets with special needs. I’ve helped with mobility issues, administered oral medications, applied ointments, and handled daily routines with gentleness and patience. I’ve also walked and cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments including golden retrievers, border collies and amstaffs. So I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities and energy levels. Along with my personal experience, I’ve also provided pet sitting and drop-in visits for friends and family over the years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. If you’re currently working on training, I’m happy to help support your efforts by providing consistent, positive reinforcement during our time together. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and encouragement. I work in communications and marketing. With a hybrid work environment, I have the flexibility to support your pet’s needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel supported. Happy to offer meet & greet at your home (if it’s for drop-in service), parks and public spaces to ensure you and your pet are comfortable with me.
About: I have experience with dog sitting a dog with anxiety and able to give medications.Also have experience feeding dogs raw food. Plus I have two Huskies of my own that I raise from puppies. I have experience with taking dogs for walks and to the dog park where they can be themselves. I'm currently looking after one dog occasionally when the person goes away. So I have alot of time in my day to look after other animals. I own two Huskies but my partner can look after them when I'm away. I always put the dog safety first and make sure they are not getting in anything they shouldn't. On a walk and I see another dog coming I will pull over to one side and let the dogs pass. If you have a dog with anxiety, I will listen to there body language. When they say it's enough it's enough. I will leave or turn around and go home. If they need to decompress I will give them time to do that.

About: I have had my own dog, Bear, for 10 years. He’s a highly excitable beagle-dachshund mix! As a university student, I’m always looking to give back to my community in the summers. I’d love to help out my fellow pet-lovers by ensuring their dog gets their needs exceeded while feeling comfortable and loved. With a flexible schedule and calm demeanour, I can help unload the stresses of life by giving your dog the care they deserve🐾 From July-August I have a highly flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life as a student since my summer-job has come to a close and school does not begin until September. I can help at those difficult times when both work and your dog need attention at once. I will always take the time to learn the precautions you have set up for your dog, whether that be fencing, gates, crates, or a designated play area. You can trust me to respect any special requests as I understand the needs dogs sometimes require. My own dog is on daily medication and requires mobility assistance for stairs.
“Jaime was great with walking my dog! She answered promptly, was great at communicating including letting me know when she picked up her and feedback on the walk itself. Will be hiring her again!”

“Erica is calm and kind with our new pup Indie. She is understanding and takes the time necessary to allow for a puppy to adapt to new surroundings and people.

About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and commitment to following your pet's routine. I have two cats, one of whom has asthma and requires an inhaler twice a day, so I'm comfortable administering medication and keeping a close eye on pets' health and well-being. I also grew up with dogs and have experience caring for a variety of personalities and energy levels. As a CPA, I'm organized, dependable, and take responsibility seriously. You can trust that I'll follow your instructions carefully, show up when expected, and provide updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I have two cats of my own, including one who requires daily medication, so feeding, monitoring health needs, and sticking to routines are things I do every day. Adding dog walks and drop-in visits to my week is something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time with animals and understand how important it is for pets to have consistent, reliable care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. During visits, I'll make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean up any messes, provide playtime and attention, and monitor their overall well-being. For dog walks, I'll tailor the pace and length of the walk to your dog's age, energy level, and needs. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you're away.
About: Ive grown up caring for animals my entire life: dogs, cats, and chickens!

I am also an active person so your dog will always come home well-exercised after a walk with me! I work part time and can be pretty accommodating with your schedule. Mornings, afternoons or evenings - I am sure we can make something work :) In my home, my cats are my family and are treated as such. I make it a priority to play with them everyday and make sure that they have toys available to help stimulate them. In your home, I will prioritize yours and your pets boundaries by following all given instructions carefully and I will always be a transparent and timely communicator.

“Beautiful people and home. They took great care of my elderly dog and sent me many updates. I am very grateful. Darby seemed very happy and healthy upon his return home. Thank you very much.”
“Mark & Evangeline were awesome with Zimba. They took very good care of him for the 2 weeks that we were away, and made him a part of their family. They sent us daily updates with pictures and short videos. They gave Zimba his medication in a timely manner, and followed his regular routine. When we picked him up we noticed that he was happy and well taken care of. Mark & Evangeline are the best sitters we have had so far and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely keep Zimba with them in the future. Thank you Mark & Evangeline! 🥰”

“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 💗🐶”
“Gail and Felicity were amazing with my dog Jack. He looked so comfortable and happy in every photo they sent! Jack definitely seemed to enjoy his stay and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and am looking forward to having them watch my pup again!”
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’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.
“Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them again.”
“Sarah was great with Beckham, was patient with him and put up with his quirks as a senior dog learning to adjust to his senior-ness. She also provided updates of him during his stay. Thanks for taking such good care of him, Sarah!”
