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.
“Heather was super atencious and helped us during our trip, since we wanted to visit a place that doesn’t allowed dogs. So if you want to check the Louisbourg fortress, I highly recommend her! She send me photos of Lily, that was super happy with the stay, thank you Heather!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sydney is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $70 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 Sydney 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.
