“Guinness had a great time. We started with a meet and greet to make sure our dogs would get along. They have a lovely senior dog and young son. It was important to me they all get along. They kept him in their home - and he had access to a fenced outdoor space. Someone is typically home with the dogs. (Although Guinness does ok during the day alone). I’m certain a friendly face and pup to play with was great. I would highly recommend and plan to hire again.”
“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!”
“Trisha was amazing with our three dogs. She provided daily updates, photos and videos. It was the first time we went away and didn't worry about our pups, she took such great care of them. I highly recommend Trisha's pet sitting services, she's the best!!!!”
About: When living abroad for over 10 yrs I volunteered with a local animal rescue organization and fostered dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have dealt with animal injuries and out reach programs and also had a business that provided pet walking and sitting. In Canada I have had dogs and cats as family since I was a child. I am retired and recently lost my two elderly dogs. My baby is a rescue from the Dominican Republic, is four and half yrs old and use to cats and other dogs. I have a fully fenced yard and a flexible schedule for my activities outside of the home. I have a four and half year old rescue who is use to other animals including the deer who live nearby. My yard is fully fenced and semi rural. I have dog beds and crates available if needed and the space to accommodate them.
“Sarah was amazing!! She has a huge fenced in backyard and two lovely dogs that were the perfect companions for our Pixie girl. Pixie typically has separation anxiety but she was living her best life at Sarah‘s house. Sarah sent photos and videos every day which helped reassure us that Pixie was enjoying her stay. She was running and playing with the other dogs, curled up sleeping with them and snuggling up with Sarah as well. I highly recommend Sarah and her family. We will definitely use her again. Thank you, Sarah so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl for an entire week while we were away.”

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.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pictou home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Pictou
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
