“Grigorii took exceptional care of my baby girl Remi. Remi is now very comfortable with the out doors. Thanks a bunch for that! He was very accommodating with my short notice. He truly demonstrates the prefect dog friend and furry bestie. I will definitely use him again…not short notice this time. Thank you so very much! Best, Natali”

“This was our second time with Lora and it was even better than the first time! My 14 1/2 yr. old sweetie seemed to have returned to her younger self when I picked her up after this daytime stay with Lora. She was perky, wagging, and walking around like she owned the place! We can't wait till our next visit!”

“Casey and Phil were wonderful boarding our dog Millie, giving great photos and updates and always making sure we were comfortable with everything going on at their house. They made sure she got along with the their dog and made sure she was well loved with plenty of attention. We had to last minute extend our trip and they were so gracious to accommodate the extra time. We will definitely be keeping them in mind for future trips!”

About: I love dogs! My family have always had dogs growing up and I’ve had experience having my own. I’m an experienced dog sitter and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Feel at ease leaving your pet with me while you’re away. I work from home majority of the time, allowing me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day and ensuring regular potty breaks and quality play time. I don’t have any pets at home. I am dedicated to your pet when they’re with me and will make sure to provide daily updates on your pet’s stay!
“Alana was great with my pup. The communication was great, the updates and picture were great and Leo had a great time. Thank you very much for watching him over the Thanksgiving weekend!”

About: I volunteered for all of my university married friends who had a dog. As a volunteer, I helped feed, water, and exercise both cats and dogs. I was also responsible for keeping their living environments sanitary. but most of all play with them to drain their energy for the whole day which gives them and me a sense of satisfaction. I grew up loving animals all my life. I am also currently a cat mom and I have more personal experience working with cats and dogs of various breeds. I can guarantee full satisfaction to the clients as their dogs/cats will leave making another trustworthy best friend. My personality can be described as very cheerful, levelheaded and earnest. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”

“Tianyue took great care of Elliot. She sent lots of photos and managed his medications and eye drops very well. I felt super comfortable leaving Elliot with her for nearly a week.”

“Anna Carolina was so caring and loving with Pebbles! I absolutely love that she had plenty of doggies for Pebbs to play with and she really had the best time in her home. A doggy paradise!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who works from home, which means your pup will never feel alone here. With plenty of supervision and multiple outdoor breaks in my large fenced backyard, your dog will get both exercise and attention throughout the day. I have two small, friendly pups, a Maltese and a Yorkie, and two responsible teen kids who are calm and experienced around dogs. Our home is active but structured, which is perfect for keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. Whether your pup loves to play, explore outside, go on short walks, or just be near someone during the day, I make sure they stay busy, stimulated, and comfortable. I specialize in small dogs up to 16 to 17 pounds who are potty trained and non aggressive. I also have experience with anxious dogs since my own Maltese has anxiety and realize how much love and attention they need. I understand how important routine, patience, and reassurance are, and I create a safe, low stress environment while still keeping pups engaged and happy. Tell me about your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. I would love to connect and see if we are a great fit. 🐾 I work from home so your pup will never be left alone, pups can go out multiple times a day as well as be walked as needed. I have a big fenced back yard and live in a single level home, we live in a quiet neighborhood and two pups to keep your pup entertained or space for them to be left alone if they prefer!
“Dana was a fantastic dog sitter and a great dog trainer. He helped us work through some of our dog’s behavioral issues and we hope to work with him more moving forward”

“Jodi was great with Champ! She made him feel right at home and treated him like part of the family. Champ had dog friends to play with, went on walks, and got plenty of attention. It was clear he was happy and comfortable the entire time. Champ usually has a hard time staying with others, but Jodi made the experience easy and stress-free for him. I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”


“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Sammy overnight with Milena and her husband. They are a lovely couple and we could tell within the first few minutes of meeting them that Sammy would be well cared for.Their home is clean and cozy with tons of toys for the dogs to play with. Their dogs Flubby and Diddy were welcoming and from the pictures we received during his stay it seems they all got along well! Pricing is more than reasonable for the care and attention received. We will definitely book with them again!”
“This was the second time Stephen and Cecilia watched Winnie, and they were just as amazing as the first! They always keep in touch, send plenty of pictures, and make sure Winnie is happy and loved the entire time. She’s actually bored to tears now that she’s back home! I’d absolutely recommend them — not only for the great care they give to Winnie, but also for how accommodating they are with pick-up and drop-off times”


“I was visiting from out of town and needed a dog sitter last minute. Shelby responded very quickly to my request and was super accommodating for a last minute booking. I immediately felt at ease when I dropped Cola off. The entire family came out to greet us, it was very sweet! I was sent great pictures, videos, and updates regularly during Cola's visit and really appreciated that! Cola looked to have A LOT of fun staying w/Shelby and family! I would definitely recommend her! Thanks so much Shelby!!!”

“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”

Halifax pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our senior dog Abby was in such good hands with Heather. Using rover was a new situation for us - in her younger days our 11 year old dog would board at a day care and the last few years she had only stayed with family. Heather kept us updated throughout Abby’s stay, sharing pictures and updates often. Heather took special care of Abby and did everything to accommodate her. Abby came home happier than ever, with some extra pep in her step. We are so grateful to Heather for taking such good care of our pup!

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!
