About: Along with having many pets of my own, I’ve also done volunteer work with animal rescues in the past and am super comfortable with taking care of both dogs and cats. I love pets of all shapes and sizes! Working from home allows me plenty of time to prioritize your pet’s needs! I have lots of free time and am available most weekdays and weekends :) Although I don’t currently offer boarding services, I can still make sure that your pet gets all the exercise and attention they could possibly want, both inside and outside of your home! As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust that goes into having someone care for your furry friends and I will always be sure to treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care and respect.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up learning hands-on from my mom, who was a dog trainer and groomer, so from a young age I was exposed to proper handling, training, and understanding of animal behaviour. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals in different settings. I’ve owned and looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds, and even had early experience caring for exotic pets while living in Papua New Guinea. My experience also includes working in a veterinary clinic where I took on the role of a vet assistant, volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation centre, and working in an animal shelter where I was also the lead dog handler, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments, including those who may be nervous, shy, or require a bit of extra patience. I’m currently in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine programme at the Atlantic Veterinary College training to be a vet, and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in BioVeterinary Science, minoring in Equine Science, along with an undergraduate certificate in Animal Welfare. I have a particular interest in animal behaviour and training, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, understood, and comfortable in my care while emphasising fear-free care. I am also able to provide medical care as well. Whether your pet is high-energy, a little anxious, or just needs some extra love and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and provide care that’s tailored to them. I am currently on summer break from vet school and is available all days of the week to provide drop-in visits, dog walks, pet sitting, or administer medications according to my provided availability. I always aim to care for pets in a way that keeps them feeling safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Every animal is different, so I adapt my care based on their personality, energy level, and individual needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection while also respecting the routines they’re used to. I’m comfortable administering basic care and medications, providing medical care, monitoring behaviour, and caring for anxious or shy animals with patience and understanding. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. With my background in veterinary medicine, shelter work, animal behaviour and training, and wildlife rehabilitation, I’m confident handling pets of different temperaments, sizes, and ages. My goal is always to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.

There are 27 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Truro. About 89% of Truro sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Truro. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Truro.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Truro with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Truro choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
