About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child. My family always had cats, and I’ve also had experience with dogs and had a pet rat. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I will treat every pet with love, attention, and care. work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. My daughter is at school during the day. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work outside the home in the morning until noon, but I am available afterward. I’m also available on weekends. I’m a calm, patient, and caring person who always tries to understand each pet’s needs and follow the owner’s preferences. I’m physically active and love going for walks, so I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs.

About: I grew up with dogs and helped raise two litters of bernese mountain dog puppies. Six years ago, I adopted my own dog, Harley, who is a vizsla/catahoula leopard dog mix. Through my experience caring for Harley, I’ve acquired skills to help fearful dogs enjoy walks and adventures while helping dogs learn to feel safe and secure in their environments. I am currently a graduate student and have a very flexible schedule for dog walking! Walking dogs is one of the best parts of my day! I care for my client’s dogs the same as I do my own. Building trust with dogs through patience and kindness will set a strong foundation for many fun times together!
“I had never used a cat sitter before and was really anxious about finding one and having a stranger take care of my cat. Many of my coworkers used and recommended Rover, which is what brought me to the app, and eventually to Mersades. I chose her because she had incredible ratings and reviews, and she was so sweet when I reached out to her for availability. I told her how I was anxious and she met up with me via video call on the app and it soothed all my worries. She was also a fantastic cat sitter. My cat Luna loved her, and she took incredible care of Luna and sent me lots of pictures everyday that eased my anxiety. I immediately booked her for the next trip I had planned and it went equally as well. I will forever check her availability first now when I need someone to watch my cat. Highly recommend her.”
“Annie is definitely the person you want pet sitting your babies. She is very attentive to all 4 of mine. She is very reliable, and also flexible with scheduling. She is an excellent communicator and sends lots of pictures. My pets love her! She truly goes above and beyond for us ❤️”
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up caring for my Shih Tzu and my pit/beagle mix, who are now happily playing over the rainbow bridge.

My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs!
About: Hey! A little bit about my experiences: I have taken care of my friends' pets when they are gone on vacation. The longest time a pet has stayed with me is about 2 weeks. I love taking them for multiple walks daily, especially since I live in an apartment. I keep constant communication with their owner while they are in my care. I try to teach them something new; playtime is the best time! When I was younger, I had a cocker spaniel mix and a Lab, so I can handle small and large dogs. Doggies are my absolute favorites, and with our newest member, Ellioni, kitties have won my heart. Thank you for trusting me with them, and I can't wait to meet your beloved pets! I am a full-time teacher who is currently off because of summer break. My schedule is open for the next two and a half months. I enjoy pets, and it is a relaxing break from my daily responsibilities. My husband works from home; therefore, I cannot board at my apartment, but I am willing to stay over yours if needed. Thank you for understanding.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Brunswick
Fantastic sitter! After our previous arrangements fell through a week before our family trip we reached out to her for drop-ins regarding our 17 year old Shih Tzu, who has been reactive to strangers in the past. For it being our first time using Rover we were blessed to find Hadija, who has been incredibly thoughtful, patient and communicative during a week of drop-ins with our old boy. We could not recommend her enough and we thank her again for all her help!
This is our second time doing a pretty extensive request with Yan, multiple stops a day for various days, and just like last time I really enjoyed having Yan as our sitter! Jack has warmed up to her, she has good communication, and I look forward to the next time she can dog sit for us!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in New Brunswick choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
