About: Hello! I'm Sara and I love all animals. I've had lots of experience pet sitting and handling many different breeds of dogs, as well as dog grooming in the past. I'm very familiar with taking care of cats as well, as I had them my whole life growing up. I also had a Bernese Mountain Dog, Margot, who was an amazing girl. I'm so excited to meet all of your pets! I'm currently working casually and I'm off around 3:00pm most weekdays. I'm available all day on weekends. Let me know what works best for you. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I know how scary it can be to leave your pets with someone else, but I can assure you I will take good care of them. I can send lots of pictures to keep you updated on how your pet is doing while in my care.
About: Working in a professional field where attention to detail and responsibility are part of my everyday routine and having cared for dogs most of my life helps me feel confident your pets are in good hands. If im taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop in visit or staying with your pet while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! Caring for pets is already part of my everyday life. As a dog owner, I’m used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I also understand how much attention and activity some dogs need, having a highly active dog myself Pet's are happiest when their normal routine is maintained so if im caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home I will follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions (if applicable), and any specific care requests provided. Ill take the time to get to know your pets personality and make sure they receive the attention they need. I can also provide regular updates/photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. Your pets and home deserve the same respect and care I would have for my own :)
About: Hi there my name is Amanda and my husband is Matthew we moved to cape breton island (Sydney area) in jan 2024. We are very passionate about our 4 fur babies and have always dreamed of starting a kenneling business. Our home is on 5 acres of property with 1 acre of it fenced and lots of walking trails in the non fenced area. We are starting with rober to guage interest in the area. When with us you can be assured that your fur baby will be treated like one of our own. Before taking an overnight friend we will need to do a meet and greet to ensure they get along with other dogs and are good with kids as we have a new baby as they will be included in our family plays. We are looking forward to welcoming your babies into our home. Our schedule will be flexible as I am on mat leave and if we get a lot of interest we would like to make it into a business. My husband works from home. We can discuss what works best for you at meet and greet. It's my dogs world I just live in it is my way of caring for my pets. Don't get me wrong they have rules but my job is to make their lives the best I can which is what led me to this idea ! My dogs have been going to day camp and on pack walks for years and the socialization really helps them to learn to interact with other dogs and humans.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sydney
It was our first time using Rover and Sydney was great! Lots of walks and trips to the beach! Sadie had a great vacation while we were away on ours. 😊 Communication was easy and Sydney always answered in reasonable time so we felt at ease and knew Sadie was well looked after. Thank you again! We would highly recommend Sydney if you are looking for someone to look after your pets!

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 .
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.

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.
