“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.”
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.
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.
“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 ! :)”
About: My family got our first dog when I was 6 years old so I’ve always loved them and been around them. I started really taking care of dogs about 9 years ago, and 6 years ago got my own - a playful and sweet female Cane Corso runt. I also have a 3 y/o Australian Shepherd, who belongs to my fiance. I truly believe that dogs are not only a man’s best friend, but family. I have always treated them with the utmost care, love and respect, which I hope to give to your pup during our walks together. I work part-time and my job is flexible, so I have lots of time to dog walk, especially in the mornings which is when I take my pups for walks. They especially love MacElmon’s Pond, Brookfield Wetlands and the Wentworth Provincial Park Loop. I have an unfenced yard with a ground spike and two 30ft metal leashes for tying dogs out back. I also have lots of dog toys like ropes, balls and frisbees, and of course treats for training.
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!
“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’ve taken care of many different types of dogs ranging from English Bulldogs to Great Danes to mixes and everything in between! I enjoy long walks daily and being outdoors. I currently offer dog (and cat) sitting in house / house sitting, dog walking and drop in visits. Send me a message and we can chat! I’m a teacher, so I’m off all summer! In the school year, I’m available outside of school hours. I normally go for 7-10km walks everyday which can be broken up depending on the dog and their needs. I don’t have any animals of my own currently so I can focus on yours! I currently only offer in-house services. I am very tidy, responsible and quiet. I leave my space clean and I am very considerate! I am able to water plants, gather mail, and take care of general housekeeping duties!
“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 have experience with the following animals Dogs ( Greyhounds, labs and other breeds) Cats ( Sphynx and other breeds) Puppies Kittens Bottle feeding kittens Pet rats Reptiles Horses Goats Sheep Chickens Ducks Birds Stick bugs I have my k9 first aide and am not afraid of any animal. I also am used to give medications and trimming nails. I am a flight attendant and work different hrs but there are time when I work maybe 5hrs a day. I get my schedule a month in advance. I would care for animals in the clients home. I beleive in positive reinforcement of the animal. I would make sure their home routine stays the same.
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!
About: I have owned my own dogs that I have groomed myself and taken care of for years. When fostering dogs, I maintain their grooming and other health needs. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I work shift work as a youth care worker. I have a lot of time during the daytime to check in on, walk, and feed your dogs as needs require. I have a backyard that’s not fenced in with no other pets. I have a couch that we allow the animals to sit on, as well as my bed. Can crate your dogs if needed. Always walk dogs on leash.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Truro on Rover is $21.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 31 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Truro. About 84% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Truro stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. 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. 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. 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
