“Ozzy had a wonderful time with Nicole and her family! Nicole was relaxed and welcoming, and encouraged Ozzy to feel at home. The weather was bitter cold but Ozzy got all his energy out tearing around their fenced backyard. Nicole was very communicative, sending frequent updates and photos, Highly recommended!”
“This family provided my dog exceptional care! My dog came back even healthier than before lol. It is so nice that your beloved dog is getting amazing care and having fun while you are away. I would recommend this place to anyone.”
“Krystal is great! We brought our mini cockapoo, Nella, over for a sleepover. Krystal sent us photos throughout the day and gave us notes about specific things she noticed. Nella can be a shy little pup, but Krystal’s dog Soju is a sweetheart and very gentle. Would definitely book again!”
“Ericca took very good care of my dog while I was gone for three days. She sent updates and photos without me even asking, and he was in great spirits when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“Kate is sooo wonderful! It was my first time looking for a sitter and i was worried because I never left my dog with someone that’s not my family members or friends but my Bella took to her right away and gets so excited to see her. Kate is very responsive to texts and keeps me posted with photos I feel so much at ease knowing that my pup is well looked after. Thank you Kate for taking such a good care of my dog while I was away 🙏🏻”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Amy was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive while caring for my dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. Communication was great, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her services!”
“Ryan's dog boarding services at his home was the BEST place to leave our dog Olive when we were out of town for a few days. He is knowledgeable about various breeds of dogs and their behavior traits. While we were on our trip, we really appreciated when Ryan provided us with updates on how Olive was doing via messages and photos. Ryan was receptive and accommodating with our list of care instructions we left with him which we requested he do when caring for Olive in our absence. She was clearly very happy and had fun playing with new dog pals! I plan to definitely use Ryan's services again the next time we go out of town and or for daycare services! Thank you Ryan!!!”
“Hey Trishul. Sorry for the delayed review, but I wanted to give you a shoutout for taking care of Chewie over Thanksgiving break! 🐾 First off, the whole "allowed on furniture" deal was a game-changer. Coming home to a happy pup chilling on the couch was a big win in my book. Thanks for being cool about that! I also loved that Chewie was never alone in the house. It's like she had her own vacation away from home. Knowing she had constant company definitely eased my mind while I was away. And that picture you took? Genius move. The fridge magnet was such a thoughtful touch. Every time I reach for the milk, I get a little reminder of the good times Chewie had with you. Thanks again for everything! You're officially Chewie's favorite person (and mine too, of course). Cheers, Brya.”
About: I have taken care of my own pets since childhood. Worked with horses for over 20 years and dogs/ cats in a daycare/ boarding setting for 4 years. I am currently working at a dog daycare, and have my own dogs that I take care of. I am available for pet sitting on weekends right now, will be looking to add more services soon. I have many years experience taking care of peoples pets in their home. I treat all pets as if they were my own, attention to details to make sure the animals are happy and healthy.
“Grace and her sweet pup Luddy made it SO comfortable and easy for us to leave our girl for the weekend. She obviously cares a great deal, is very kind and responsive, and clearly enjoys the time with her guests. Her home and property are safe/comfy with lots of space in nature to play and explore. I highly recommend her and will be asking for her help sitting again for sure!”
“I only have great things to say about our experiences with Shawna! She's great at communicating - she was always quick to respond to qurstions and sent daily updates and pictures. She is also just a very nice person who immediately puts you at ease when leaving your pup in her care. She took great care of our guy and we will definitely use her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 125 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Halifax can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 VT 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.
