“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Sunny is our go-to for the past 3-4 years whenever we need to board Lucky. Every time Lucky went straight into their house without even looking back at us. He is definitely spoiled when staying with them. We really would wish to continually have Sunny to watch for Lucky, but sadly we are relocating to the west coast. Lucky will miss them so much!”
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“😍Nadya was fantastic! 🤩 My 4 year old Cavalier loved spending time with her and her family and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Lots of updates and photos, we’d be happy to book with her again! She and her family are definitely people who love pets, love dogs, love spending time with them.”
“Roxy was a godsend! My dog Whitney loved her and was so comfortable in her lovely home. Whitney needed medications and assistance with a sore leg, which she professionally accommodated. It is hard to part from your beloved pets, but Roxy made this as stress free as possible.”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Endy did a great job watching our dog while we were away. She kept us up to date each day with comments and pictures of our dog. Many of the pictures showed our dog engaged in play with Endy's children. When we picked up our dog, everything was ready for us to load into the car and then say our goodbyes. We would not hesitate to use Endy as a sitter in the future.”
“Sarah and her family were wonderful with our dog, Rory. It was clear he was getting lots of love and snuggles while we were away. Sarah provided pictures during our trip. We would gladly use Sarah again in the future!”
“Sarah and Ben were great! Very welcoming and felt comfortable immediately. Communication while I was away was detailed and the pics were amazing! Saiije will be back with them again”
“Larisa was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures and texts. Loki had a fantastic time with Daisy and running on the beach and walking through the bogs. I highly recommend Larisa and look forward to using her again.”
“Stefanie was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our dog! She was so responsive in messaging and followed great instructions for giving medication, feeding, walks, etc. Stefanie provided great exercise for Finn and sent lots of pictures and updates during his stay! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Anna Carolina is so good with our beagle Milo. He had such a great time at her house for boarding for four days. Anna Carolina sent us daily pictures and updates and was so easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her for boarding.”
“Misty had a great time staying at Stefani and her family’s home. When I first came to there home for a meet a greet, I was surprised to see Christopher, Stefani’s little boy, waiting at the door step calling out for Misty. He was super excited. He treated Misty as his own. Stefani was very flexible with me especially when I arrived late to pick Misty up. There home is dog friendly and her husband even built a ramp for the dogs to go to the backyard without having to climb the stairs. Stefani sent me great pictures of Misty that I posted some online. I would board Misty again at Stefani’s home.”
“Angela, Paul, and Ana took amazing care of Beau! They sent lots of updates and photos of his time with them -- and it was wonderful seeing how well he was doing and knowing he was getting tons of attention while we were away! They went above and beyond, and we know Beau will definitely want to go back with them again!”
“Jennifer & Matthew watched our 2 year old girl Hershey for a week and it went very well. I was nervous because we had never boarded our girl before, but Jenn was great. She sent me pics and texts every day. they went to the dog park and on walks every day and Hershsey loved their dog Tatter tot. I would highly recommend Matthew & Jennifer and will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Not only did we have the benefit of Jing being in literal walking distance from our home, they did a phenomenal job of sending so many daily updates on Akina and Keiko that we were able to enjoy our time away for the wedding knowing they were in great hands. 100% will be going with Jing any time we need a sitter!”
“Louie LOVED his time with Karin and her sweet dogs. He made himself right at home as soon as we arrived and we got lots of great photos of him having an active day and playing. He was worn out from all the fun the next day. We felt totally comfortable leaving Louie with Karin and would absolutely do it again. I’d recommend Karin any day, your dog will have a blast!”
“Whitney was great with Jellybean! I received daily updates and pictures. Whitney was a great communicator and took the time to do a virtual meet and greet before I dropped bean off for the first time, which I greatly appreciated!”
“Helen was a great dog sitter. She kept us informed of throughout our dog’s stay and sent lots of pictures of Maggie. She kept her company and took her for walks. Maggie was well cared for which made us very happy while we were away from her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Halifax
We couldn’t be happier with Leo’s care last week. We felt completely confident that he was safe and well taken care of the entire time. We loved the daily updates… it gave us so much peace of mind, and we were able to enjoy our trip stress-free since it was our first time leaving him for that long! We were especially grateful that they even did some training with him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Halifax sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Halifax landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Halifax 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 favorite hang-out spots in your Halifax.
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.
You and your Halifax sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
