“Our dog loved his time with Rose! We really appreciated her daily updates, and he was spoiled under her care. We will definitely be leaving Marty with Rose again!”

About: I grew up with dogs, and they have a close place in my heart. I’m patient and gentle and have a soft spot for older dogs. Ever since I lost my family dog two years ago I’ve been looking for some more dog love in my life. I work full time, and work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and could fit in lunchtime walks if it’s close to home. My schedule on weekends is typically very flexible. I understand the importance of the rules in your home when it comes to your pet and will be sure to respect them! I want to ensure your pet feels at home even when they’re with someone new, so I believe that keeping your routines is important.

About: ​Experience: Pet sitting since 2018; 2+ years of rescue fostering (puppies, high-energy pups, you name it). ​Track Record: 1 foster fail (a magnificent 1.5-year-old Chihuahua who rules the roost). ​Perks: 100% WFH availability, unlimited patience, and a dog-educated 6-year-old co-host who knows the golden rule: let sleeping dogs lie (and give them space). Since I work from home, I have open availability and all the time in the world to tune into your pup’s routine, habits, and comfort level. ​Accessibility & Location: Elevator building (great for older dogs or stair-skippers!) right next to a garden and field, and minutes from Victoria Park. ​Home Vibe: Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds so they feel right at home. I also have plenty of space if your pup prefers to bring their crate. ​Host Dog: My friendly small dog loves making new friends and playing!

“Brooklyn is awesome! Our boy had an emergency while away on vacation :( & within moments Brooklyn got back to us and had our pup in her care! She aided in getting him to the vet, cleaning his bed & getting him washed up! She sent daily updates and we could see our boy in great spirits and enjoying his time! I’m very grateful I found her and was able to have my pup taken care of even while overseas”

We have had such a wonderful experience. Our boy is young, big, and goofy and he had such an awesome weekend. The photos and updates were absolutely perfect.

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Truro 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 Truro

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
