“Jaideep and his family took excellent care of our 6-month-old, Atlas, while we were on a family vacation. He kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and detailed check-ins. We’ll definitely be using his services again in the near future.”
“We're so grateful to have found Sowmya and her family to care for our dog, Diesel, whenever we have to go out of town. They keep us updated with photos through his stay, and he always comes home happy and tired - just like a kid who's been playing all day! We truly appreciate their care and look forward to having Diesel stay with them again.”
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! We have a 13 week old golden retriever. So it was our first time leaving her. He made us feel so comfortable during our vacation that our fur baby was being taken care of every minute we were away. The many pictures we got every day made it clear she was loving playing with Ryan’s dog and felt at home with his family! Communication was perfect. Response time was great. Accommodations were fantastic. We definitely will be using Ryan again for our boarding needs!!”
“De'Andra and Robert were, loving, attentive and nurturing caregivers that took the time to care for our Cockapoo and her special needs. It was a relief and comfort to receive many pictures and updates over the course of the week. Our pup seemed relaxed and happy in their home, making our time away worry free.”
“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“This was my first time leaving our fur baby and Angel kept in contact everyday with pictures and videos. Put my mind at ease. Have already made plans to use her services on our next trip”
“Teresa has watched my baby boy Milo a couple times and this past time was much longer than others and let me say he did not want to leave her! She does an amazing job with communicating and sending pictures especially when I miss him too much! She has been such a great help! Looking forward to using her in the future.”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“We couldn't be happier with Pam & Mike! Our Labrador, Gage, came home happy and exhausted after his week with them. I received regular photos and video updates from Pam while we were away, which was awesome! Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Miss Bobbi did a wonderful job with our Westie! We are so happy we found her! She sent messages, pictures and videos every day during our vacation and was very easy to communicate with. Our dog loved playing with Nala and running around in the yard! We will definitely use Bobbi again!”
“Our dog, Kallie, had a wonderful time with Heather. She and her husband, Tony, were caring pet parents that made Kallie feel comfortable and like one of their family. They made us comfortable as well, keeping in contact with us and sending fun photos of Kallies visit. Thank you Heather and Tony for taking such good care of our dog and making it possible to fully enjoy our son's wedding day. Would not hesitate to book with Heather again and recommend her services if a loving pet sitter is needed.”
“Josie and family were amazing! My dog had a great time, especially since he got to play with other dogs. I felt very comfortable with Josie and would definitely use her again!”
“David and his family welcomed our dog like he was their own! They took care to meet him ahead of time to make sure they would be compatible. David’s communication was amazing throughout the process. Would highly recommend!”
“Heather and her family are the absolute best! We feel totally comfortable when Brady is in her care and can enjoy our vacation to the fullest. She also sends the cutest pics. :) Thank you so much Heather!”
“MIchaela was great! Drop off and pick up was easy, and she showed me where Piper would be staying. She sent us a picture over the weekend of Piper having fun. She was also very understanding of Piper's medical concerns and gave her the necessary medication that we provided. Will definitely be using her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 300 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Halifax. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 PA 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.
