“Daniella is the best!!!!! She’s so flexible and easygoing, has excellent communication, and she was so sweet and awesome with our elderly dog, Olive. Absolutely will be booking her again!!!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Dana and Nia were great! I had to find a last minute sitter for my two large dogs for 6 days. Dana was super accommodating and set my mind at ease with daily updates and pics. At 100lbs and 60lbs and leary of strangers, my pups are not easy to handle, but Dana stepped up to the plate and did an amazing job! I will definitely be sending my pups back!”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
About: I have had dogs and cats most of my life and enjoy taking care of them and training them and teaching them new tricks. I want to open my house for your pets to feel almost as comfortable in my house as they do at home and. I have a friendly dog that is well behaved that loves to make new friends. When I first got my dog he had bad habits and fears that with time and patience I was able to help him feel more relaxed and less fearful and now they are gone. He is a rescue that was abused and would have accidents when he would see a leash, but now isn’t afraid of the leash anymore I work full time but am just a quick walk from my job and go home for an hour for lunch to let them out and spend time with them and play and exercise with them. My routine is I wake up in the morning let my dog out and run around and exercise a little then get ready for work and head off. I then come home for lunch let the dog out and give feed him and play with him a little bit then I go back to work for a few hours and then come back home and spend the rest of the day and night with the pups. The longest stretch of time your dog will be alone will be 4-5 hours I have a fenced in yard that I let my dog run around in for exercise and hope your dog will become friends with mine to run together in the yard. My dog is friendly and loves other dogs and hope my guy will keep your dog company.
“Natalie was a wonderful sitter for our dog Kona! She was extremely responsive, sent us videos and updates, and gave him tons of attention. Thank you Natalie!!”
“We always have peace of mind when we leave our dogs with Debbie and her family. They treat our dogs like they’re part of her family. She’s always updating us so we’re never wondering how they’re doing.”

“Nancy and her husband took great care of Baloo for the weekend. I received frequent picture updates and was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands.”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Our usual dog boarder wasn't available for a short mid-week getaway so we found Julie on Rover. She was wonderful! Julie has a lovely home with a fantastic screened porch and great flat, fenced-in yard. We met a few days before to introduce my dog to hers and share info. Julie's dog is happy and sweet and was good company for mine, in addition to Julie, while we were away. I didn't worry at all knowing our pup was in good hands. Julie even sent me a couple updates and some cute pics and a video - our dog truly had a great stay! We would definitely book Julie again. You should, too. ;)”
“We had a good experience with Richard. He met us the week before and sent pictures and updates while we were gone. He was easy to work with and our dog Bailey was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, especially dogs. My first pup was an Irish Setter when I was just four, and over the years my family rescued many dogs — including plenty of Basset Hounds — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’m now a cat owner as well — it’s a new experience, but one I’ve grown to love. At the moment, I’m available nearly every day, including weekends, thanks to a flexible work schedule. I’m happy to work around your needs and adjust as things come up. My kids are fully grown, so I have some more time on my hands! I’m completely comfortable crating dogs when needed, and I’m confident handling daily walks, potty breaks, and general exercise routines to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well‑cared for.
“Svetlana watched Harper for me at last minute notice while we moved - thank you Svetlana! Harper had a great time and I got lots of pictures and updates! Appreciate it so much!”
“Miranda was so wonderful with Charlie! She sent me so many cute photos and videos while I was away and I could tell he was having the time of his life! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Shuhua watched our dog Sesame while we went on an international trip. She sent regular updates and let us call her every day so that Sesame could hear our voices. Thank you for taking good care of our baby!”

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!

There are 3,406 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Halifax. About 91% of Halifax 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
