“My lab Oliver spent 4 nights with Michele where it felt like home for him. He hit the jackpot with all the fun (especially the pool 😄) and made friends with both of Michele’s dogs. He was so well taken care of and I often got updates/pics on how he was doing. I highly recommend Michele. Your fur baby will most certainly be in the best hands. Oliver already can’t wait for his next stay 🐾”
“Just picked our Sophie up from her third visit with Lora P. and she came through yet one more time! Sophie was happy to go there (no shakes on the way in like with kennels) and Sophie was happy and healthy when we returned a few days later. She will get to spend more time with Lora soon and we know she will have yet another wonderful experience!”
About: I have walked and taken care of dogs since I was super young. I have a young creme and is my world and I treat every dog like it was my own. I haven’t worked in years and both my girls are in school so my schedule is very flexible. I enjoy exercise as well plus I walk my pup daily I have a huge fenced in yard where the dogs can play and lots of room to run around and act like a dog and play
“Jess was an amazing pet-sitter. The walks and family time were just what our dog loves. He came home happy and well-rested and not exhausted like he usually does when boarded at a kennel-type facility. He enjoyed the love and attention he received, as well as the interaction with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Jess again!”
“Jaime was great with my mini poodle. He was with her for 8 days and she communicated daily, sent photo updates, and texted questions when needed. My pooch came home happy!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age I love all different kinds of dogs and cats. I have a nice set up in my home and I have a fenced in yard so it feels a lot safer and private :) I have a quiet neighborhood and lots of places to walk ! I always provide lots of photos and constant communication with pet owners. I also helped my mom board dogs growing up so I also have experience in that as well. I’m currently in school and have mostly online classes so I’m pretty flexible. I also have a car that I can transport if need be. I love walking them and letting them play outside in the fenced yard! I have a dog proofed home:) I’m open to all requests, more communication the better !
“Darwin had a wonderful time with Shelby and her family for almost a whole week! I loved her daily photos and updates and they were very accommodating with our changing timeline. Darwin came home in great condition and I’m sure he’ll be excited to go back.”
“Taylor provided a great home for snowball during a last minute request. Daily long walks, multiple pictures and videos throughout the day and extremely responsive. Communication was consistent and overall a great experience. I can’t recommend Taylor enough. Snowball came back home fully groomed and looking better than when I dropped him off.”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy for such an extended period of time, and it was nerve wrecking trying to figure out how to keep Mushu safe, happy, and healthy while I was away. Thankfully, I came across Casey and Phil's profile. Met them and their dog Chloe for a meet and greet far in advance, heard about their extensive experience with dogs, and got to see Mushu interact with them in person. Spent way too long talking to them about anything and everything, and they were very patient with me and my concerns. Casey was also super helpful with reassurances, frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Overall, great experience. Heard Mushu was anxious for a bit because it was such a new experience, but he seemed content to play and receive all the love and attention while he was there. Thank you for caring for my baby!”
“Helen provided exceptional care for Rosie, showing dedication, affection, and expertise. Each day, she kept me updated with beautiful pictures of Rosie. Within just two weeks, she successfully retrained Rosie to go potty outside, with 100% positive results. I can't recommend Helen enough—she is professional, communicates effectively, and most importantly, Rosie was truly happy in her care.”
“Stephen and Cece were phenomenal! With an anxious dog, it can sometimes be difficult when leaving your fur baby behind. There were numerous updates throughout the day, with pictures and I felt that Lady was left in great hands! Stephen even suggested a trial run, prior to our expected drop off day, which was a phenomenal idea. They cared for Lady as if she were their own and I couldn't recommend them more!”
“Kari and her family took such great care of our dog, Bogey. Very proactive in communication and I felt completely at ease during my time away from my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again with Bogey.”
“Jing has great communication! She was great with my elderly dog and gave her her medicine when needed. My dog looked happy the entire time and was in a great mood afterwards!”
“Casey was amazing with our dogs, Cloe (7) and Luna (12)! It was our first time leaving them with someone outside the family, and she made us feel completely at ease. She even invited us to her home before the stay to help them transition smoothly. We got regular updates during our trip, and when she brought them home, they were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so thankful and will absolutely book with Casey again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“Grigorii was fabulous with our dog. He took great care of her even when she wasn't feeling the best during a heat wave. In addition, he was communicative and easy to work with. I would definitely board our dog with him again!”

Pet 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!

There are 3,367 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Halifax. About 90% 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.

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.
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.
