Pet care experience

temporary loving home for your pet

I’ve owned and taken care of many small to big dogs all my life, growing up with animals in the house and around me. Currently I have a cat who is best friends with her golden retriever back home in ontario. I have held my own accountability and taken the responsibility to feed, walk, bathe, and play with my pets everyday because they need enrichment as well.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard so your pups stay close by when going potty and when I am gone marbles (my cat) will be able to keep them company, if needed i can also crate them. I like to keep my apartment clean so there is never food or a mess for your pups to get into as well.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 19, 2026

Sarah was excellent with our two pups. We were coming in from out of town for the day so couldn’t arrange a meet and greet in advance. Sarah asked all the right questions and our dogs were well cared for all day, and she even graciously accommodated a last minute request to extend their stay. An excellent dog sitter for anyone in Halifax. Thank you so much, Sarah!

House Sitting • Jun 11, 2023

This was our first time using rover and came across Sarah as we wanted someone with senior dog experience and someone that has repeat customers and good reviews. She maintained communication when needed, cared for both our dog and cat and our place was the same as when we left (she stayed for 2 days and one night). Definitely a good experience and I would definitely have her back to take care of them again.

House Sitting • May 24, 2023

Sarah watched our 3 dogs for 4 nights in our home while we away. She was quick to reply to any messages and she kept us posted about our dogs well-being the whole time. Super sweet girl! The house looks just how we left it and the dogs are in a great mood! Will definitely reach out to her again if we have any other dog sitting needs!

Boarding • Apr 06, 2023

Sarah was great and responded immediately to a very last minute situation. Soda had a great time and I felt comfortable knowing he was well taken care of especially since I was unsure about a sitter. It was obvious that he was very well taken care of and actually enjoyed by Sarah and I’m grateful she helped me out so last minute when I really needed it. Thank you Sarah! You definitely made me feel safe using a sitter and would definitely reach out again if I needed it.

Schedule

Currently I work at a restaurant working either evening or brunch shifts with a fairly flexible schedule. I’m an early riser and live with my boyfriend who is generally home in the evenings if I am working. Most days I can provide a minimum 1 long and 2 short walks a day if working. If my schedule is open than I generally will find a longer activity to do with the dogs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sarah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Is there anything your dog doesn’t like or anything they have preferences for? Do they like to snuggle? How often and how much food to give if I need to feed them? Are they good with cats? What does their typical daily routine look like?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
