About: I have always loved animals and I hold such a soft spot in my heart for them. Growing up I had a dog, cat and bird as pets who I loved deeply until they passed away; I was their main caretaker. Now, in my adulthood I have moved around a lot and never had the stability to offer to get a pet of my own, but I as I settle more into Nova Scotia I would love to get one soon. For now, I am able to offer my time and love in any way I can and would be so excited to offer my companionship and caretaking skills through Rover. I work from home and am able to offer the time and love needed to really care for any animal. I work from home, 9-5 and have the flexibility to offer love and companionship throughout the day. I am already taking long walks mid day and after work and would be more than happy to take a pet along with me. I am new to the area and have lots of free time to visit pets at home, walk them, care for them, etc. My home has a backyard and walkway down to a quiet beach area. Backyard isn’t fenced. I also frequently visit great parks such as Ellenwood park and can take animals there with me for walks.
About: Animals, especially dogs, have always been a part of my life. I just lost my senior 14-year-old Chiweenie (dachshund/chihuahua mix), Norah, this June. She travelled the world with me while I was nomadic, and needed a lot of special care and medications during her senior years. I (with Norah's help) was also a foster home for the Ontario Dachshund Society when I was living in Canada. We helped move (including having dogs rehomed with us until they found their forever home) Dachshunds from high-risk dog shelters in the USA to their new owners in Canada. I was required to take a pet's first aid course to qualify as a foster home as well. I also grew up taking care of my mother's Westie, who was a retired breeder dog and needed a lot of extra love and care, along with my brother's sweet pitbull. I own a skincare company, which allows me to work remotely, which also means I work from home (WFH). I'm a natural homebody, which means I'll be home with your fur baby most of the time. Until recently, I was trying to find a sitter for Norah in my home, so I could travel for work. Still, I found it very hard to feel like I could trust a stranger with her, as her needs were particular and there were very few candidates that I felt would take care of her in the way that I do. I want you to rest assured that your pet and your home will be in safe hands, with someone who has a lot of extra love to give and who genuinely cares. I also have over 25 5-star reviews as a guest on Airbnb. I work from home, and I run my own business online, so I have a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time at home, so I will ensure that your pet will be constantly cared for. I have a lot of experience caring for animals, especially dogs, so I know the importance of getting to know your needs, and your pet's needs, ahead of time. I would like to know what their daily schedule is like when you are home with them, which includes any medications they take, along with understanding their diet. I would also need to know how your pet is when you are around other animals. My senior dog really liked to be left alone in her later years, so I knew to pick her up in situations where she was feeling overstimulated, for example. The more communication the better in my opinion, which helps me ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable while you are away.

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 Yarmouth 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 Yarmouth
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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.
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 sitter.
