Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pictou
Carrie-Lynn was attentive to our miniature dachshund during her extended stay. Carrie-Lynn catered to our dog’s daily routine to mimic home, adapted care to reduce our dog’s anxiety, and provided photo/video updates at our requested frequency. Upon our return, we were reunited with a happy, healthy dog who transitioned back into our care without issue. Thank you for providing a safe and loving home away from home.
I highly recommend Kelly. Aside from emergency vet visits, this was the first time I’d left my little dog Freya with anyone. I was worried that Freya might fuss, but thanks to Kelly’s experience and expertise, Freya settled in nicely. It’s lovely that I’ve found someone so reliable that I won’t worry about leaving her when I have to travel.
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She kept us updated every day with little messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The walks were fantastic, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave them. Our dogs absolutely loved their time with her and came home happy and relaxed. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and amazing with dogs!
I was not disappointed in choosing Carrie-Lynn to look after “my girls”. She kept them entertained and well looked after. She provided video and picture updates as well which was greatly appreciated. Definitely will be calling her next time dog sitting is required.

- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts

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 .
