“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!”

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pictou is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
On Rover, pet sitters in Canada have an average of 13 to 14 years of experience for dog and/or cat care. Sitters must also pass a background check before they are listed on our site. You can confirm a sitter’s identity verification by looking for the blue or gold badge on their profile. Most sitter profiles include verified reviews from local pet parents, star ratings, and repeat pet parent rates.
Additionally, every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement and 24/7 support in English.
For extra peace of mind, schedule a Meet & Greet before booking to get to know your potential sitter.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your Pictou sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
