About: Hi, you call me Ru and I'm a lifelong animal enthusiast with professional experience caring for creatures of all shapes and sizes, from energetic dogs and opinionated cats. I work a very flexible job from home, giving me lots of time to focus on the individualized care of your pet. Experience and Wellbeing: • Even my oldest memories contain an animal of some kind, and I have been fortunate to work several jobs that directly involved animal care. • I am very familiar with dog and cat behavior and temperament, allowing me to adjust routines when they need to play, rest or simply need their space. • I also have experience managing anxiety in foster animals and rescues. • I value each moment with an animal, and strive to spend it with love in a safe and enriching environment. Services: 🚶Walks: Whether you live near a wooded trail or a more urban setting, I will take your dog on a safe, but enriching wander. • Typically range from 1-2 hours based on your dog's energy level. • Sniffing and guided exploration for mental enrichment. • Close supervision to prevent ingestion of nasty plants or trash. 🏡House-sitting and check-ins: I understand that pets feel safest at home, so I'll provide the love and care you shower on your pets when you are needed elsewhere. • Playing with your pet's favorite toys inside or in a yard. • Sniffing games within a owner-preferred room or yard. • Administration of food, water, and medication based on schedules. • Adapted play and enrichment for puppies, seniors, or pets with specialized needs. • Communication: You will receive updates with photos, videos and a brief summary, four times daily: - Morning - Afternoon - Evening - Before bed I work from home with lots of flexibility and I am always willing to work around your schedule to provide great care for your pets. I start my day at 5:00 AM, but my job starts at 9:00 AM, affording me plenty of time to prepare your pet's breakfast, and get ready for an hour or two-hour long play session or walk. During midday, I can work through my phone or laptop. I will be able to step away from my devices frequently to provide potty breaks, shorter play sessions, snacks or a quick check-in. I finish work at 4:00 PM, after which I provide another 1-2 hour long play session or walk before settling in for the night. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, including feeding, walks, enrichment, cleaning, and medication support when needed. Your pets recognize your love, and I will do my best to makes sure that it is never missed. With experience caring for a wide range of animals, I’m comfortable handling different breeds and needs while keeping your home clean, safe, and respected. • Communication: You will receive updates with photos, videos and a brief summary, four times daily: - Morning - Afternoon - Evening - Before bed • I will play extra attention to the temperament and behavior of the pets in my care throughout the visit. • I will monitor your pet for fatigue carefully during walks and play sessions and adjust accordingly. • Your pet will be inspected each time for injury or ticks each time they exit a wooded area.
About: I have 8 years of professional experience in dog daycare and boarding facilities working as a dog handler. I am confident with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a dog mama of two, I’d love to host pups in my home so they have a home away from home when you are away! I am a full time stay at home mom to a toddler. My availability is very flexible and I am happy to accommodate various scheduling needs! I have a fully fenced in, large back yard for your dog to roam and explore. Happy to house dogs as if they’re at home, they are able to sleep in my room with me, or if you’re more comfortable, my spare room or living area. I encourage those who use crates at home to bring the crate with you for the most familiar and comfortable stay possible.
“My cats loved Jesse! I felt good leaving them in her care, especially as a vet tech I knew they were in good hands. I loved the pictures and updates that put my mind at ease to let me know they were doing well. Highly recommend Jesse. Will rebook in the future for sure ! :)”
“Sarah was a dream to work with! I looked forward to her updates each day because I could see that my cat, Mirin, was being so well taken care of. We also experienced an issue with the automatic feeder, but Sarah was incredible and pivoted immediately to figure the situation out. I could not recommend her more highly!”
About: Having professional experience in boarding/ daycare kennels allows me the ability to understand dog behavior and how to handle dogs of all temperaments. As well as pet sitting for family friends for years. Currently enrolled full time at Dalhousie and working part time, but have flexibility to accommodate your needs. This can be discussed further following a meet and greet. I treat the animals as though they were my own. Keeping in mind how I would want my own cat or dog to be treated if they were entrusted to another person's care.
“Wonderful experience! Laura was amazing with my kittens and they were healthy and happy!! Laura sent updates and pictures which made me feel so much better while I was away. I am so grateful!”
About: I love all sized and tempered dogs! As a tech student I have the ability to medicate, train and bath/ groom with nothing but love I’m currently a student full time so my schedule varies but reach out and I’m sure I can make it work! Cant wait to chat! I have a very overly playful puppy so I am a great place if you have a high energy dog loving dog or cat! Also have a kitten who is very out of the way and barely a bother!
About: I have had pets always growing up, I couldn’t live in a house without one. I have been pet sitting and house sitting regularly for friends and family the past 3-4 years and have really enjoyed it. Have taken care of older pets with special medicine and feeding schedules as well. I am currently working part time in a community support position. During the school year I am taking a masters program and working part time. I commute often which means I am often passing by where I would pet sit along the way, or when house sitting it often ends up being closer for me than my normal commute is. I have flexible hours in between my work and school. Leaving your pet with someone is always a nerve wracking process and I always send updates and pictures to ease people’s minds. Pets are family and I care for them as such, getting to know their individual needs.
“We were worried about leaving our dog home alone for the weekend, but he was absolutely fine because Holly dropped in to make sure he was fed and walked. Regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Holly!”
About: I've been loving on and taking care of pets since I was a little kid. I'm that person who gets along with pets more than people and go straight to them at a party 🙃 I love to take dogs out on lots of walks, cuddle cats while I'm crocheting, and make sure that they are well taken care of. I'm currently between jobs and looking to pick up some work ASAP. I have lots of timt to spoil ypur pets. Open for weekends and holidays as well. I am a great guest and responsible house keeper. I love to go on lots of walks and provide lot of attention to your pets.
About: I have been a dog lover for longer than I can remember. Growing up as a kid I was blessed with a golden lab and chow chow to run around with. The lab became my best friend, a 4-legged friend to walk through the streets and pass my scraps to under the table (now as an adult I'm much more knowledgeable about not feeding the dog everything you can). Throughout the years I've lived with a variety of different dogs, as well as fostering a few within my home. From pugs to staffords, german shepherds to golden doodles. I've lived abroad and dealt with homeless dogs, been able to feed and help care for their needs. I am currently looking to broaden my doggie circle and have my own dog meet some pals along the way! I live in Bass River on a large lot of land, but can easily drive to your area to care for your animal. I can easily take them for walks using my car as well. My job as an elementary math teacher requires me to work about 6 hours at a time between Sept and June, but I have full availability during the summer months. I am active myself, so if your dog loves running around at the park or going for hikes, we can definitely do so! I have a 6.5 year old black lab rescue named Cali who loves to be outdoors. I also have an 8.5 year old mutt named Poncho who is lazy and calm. They are both super friendly and adore all animals (both dogs and cats). So as long as your pet gets along with others as well, it could be a match made in Heaven! There'll be lots of attention, loving, and care. Whatever your dog needs, I will make sure to go above and beyond! I do teach during the week (Sept-June) but am able to come home on lunch breaks to care for the dog if accessible by my work route. My schedule is normally flexible but I am never out of the house for more than a few hours. I have an unfenced yard and a lovely, walkable neighbourhood by the water. I am able to drive us to dog parks or walking trails as well! My own dog loves going to the beaches and parks around town, especially school fields, a fan favourite!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Truro
I had a wonderful experience with Sarah. She took excellent care of my two cats, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything was comfortable and stress-free. I really appreciated her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.
My cats loved Jesse! I felt good leaving them in her care, especially as a vet tech I knew they were in good hands. I loved the pictures and updates that put my mind at ease to let me know they were doing well. Highly recommend Jesse. Will rebook in the future for sure ! :)
Dakotas attention to detail and patience made my first time leaving my kitten an easier experience. Not only did she send me some of my favourite photos of him ever, she even spent a little extra time snuggling him and making him comfortable. Highly recommended and will absolutely be using her again!

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.

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.
