“Upon meeting Lianna we immediately got over our appreciation of having someone we didn’t know pet and house sit for us while we were away. Our older dog and cat are too set in their ways to board anywhere. Lianna asked the right questions and provided great answered to ours. She provided great responsive communication when needed and never pestered us with trivial stuff. Ultimately she left our house every bit as clean as when we left, taking care of all laundry and dishes before leaving. We will certainly call on Lianna again for absolutely worry free house and pet sitting service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sarah did great with our cats…very reliable and a good cat photographer! She spent a good 30 mins each visit. Kept things tidy, even wound our grandfather clock for us. Would love to book her again.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and babysitting since I was 13 years old. I have had pets my whole life and have gained the nickname Dr. Doolittle because of how good I am with all types of animals! I have always been a natural at caretaking for animals and kids. I have experience working with behavioral and nervous dogs as well as all sizes of dogs. I am currently a full-time graduate student studying special education and literacy. On weekdays I am student-teaching during school day hours (7am-3pm) and on weekends I am typically busy doing homework! Over the summer I work as a teaching assistant where my hours are 8:30am-2:30pm on weekdays. On the weekends I am able to spend the majority of the time caring for pets, often hanging out with them and doing homework, and taking breaks to play and go on walks! During the week while I am working I am able to stop in for walks and feeding after work and class. When caring for pets in a clients home I am always sure that I know where everything I may need is located in the home including food, treats, collars, leashes, potty bags, kitty litter, scoops, etc. I also am sure to check in with clients so I know what areas of the home are totally off limits and what is allowed (for me and the pets!). I always do my best to create an environment for pets so that they feel safe and comfortable with me in their home so that they know they can trust me!
“As usual, Whitney is incredible and attentive to our cat, Roo. Whitney is a fantastic pet sitter, and provides thorough updates, complete with pictures. She's one of the few people that Roo trusts, and it's clear why. We will happily continue to use Whitney for our pet sitting needs, and strongly recommend her to others.”
“This was our first time using Rover, our first time leaving our dog alone and we could not be happier with Danica! She is an outstanding pet sitter. She is caring, communicative and professional. Our 6 month old puppy was very comfortable with her and Danica was sure to take her out several times during her drop-in visit and sent us a few pics too! We look forward to having her pet sit or drop-in in the future?”
About: I have taken care of numerous dogs throughout the years. I have experiences with various breeds, shapes, age and sizes. I will be sure to give your pet baby love, time and attention and truly deserves. Your pet deserves nothing but the best!🐶🐾❤️ I am a full-time state worker; therefore, this will be my part-time gig (nights, weekends, some holidays). Sleeping can be arranged as long as the dog has arrangements while I work the next morning! I have fed animals and made sure to follow any dietary needs including medication, I have slept over, given plenty of walks and make sure all pets feel they’re in a safe and trusting environment. I also enjoy cuddling!😊
“Cassandra is the best. She takes care of my dog while I’m at work and my dog loves her. She is super detailed about her visits and gives my dog her medicine every time she’s there with no problem! I love having Cassandra watch my baby knowing she’s in good hands!”
About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a pet in my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals through dog and cat sitting, and I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. One of the experiences I’m most proud of is helping reunite three lost dogs with their families. Animals have always been a part of who I am, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it has always felt like a calling. Starting September 4, I’ll have a flexible schedule and will be available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog or cat sitting throughout the day. This isn’t just a side hustle for me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had pets since I was a child, cared for many dogs and cats over the years, and have even helped reunite three lost dogs with their families. I truly enjoy earning an animal’s trust and giving pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in loving, dependable hands. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re my own, I’d love the opportunity to help! One of the biggest benefits I offer is caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, keeps their daily routine consistent, and allows them to feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care—just as if you were home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.
“I highly recommend Lydia. Her calm energy is exactly what my dogs need. My lively dogs are happy and tired after her walks and drop-ins. What I appreciate most about my interaction with Lydia is her communication. She is proactive and thoughtful in the way she communicates. She asks for clarification and she anticipates any possible needs that may come up. It was great to see photos and get her updates when she spent time with the dogs. I feel confident she will carry out whatever we discuss. She is also reliable and timely. I would definitely call on her again!”
About: I’m a graduating law student looking to take pup-filled study breaks while I prepare for the bar exam. I have a big cat named Perry and I love dogs. I’ve had at least one dog my entire life, and most of my family members have as well, so I have a lot of experience with many different breeds. I hope you’ll trust me to take care of your beloved pets while you’re away. Even shy dogs and cats tend to warm up to me quickly, and I love getting them out of their shells. Please note that I am unable to do walks longer than 20-30 minutes. I am available for longer daytime stays but not overnight stays. I am currently a student, so my schedule, while a little sporadic, is fairly open, especially on the weekends. I also enjoy taking walks when I can, so adding dogs to those walks can only make them better! I do not accept clients for boarding. If and when I do drop in visits, I will make sure and follow the owner’s instructions, and primarily make sure the pet feels comforted and doesn’t feel alone.
About: I work part time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. My fiancée and I currently have 4 cats but I grew up with dogs. I love dog sitting for friends and family. My previous dog was diabetic so I have given insulin and have with experience with senior dogs. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to play with your animals! Our cats love to cuddle and to go for walks in their stroller. I use automatic feeders for dry food and give them wet food once a day. I’ve pet sat where animals are free fed or prefer to be fed at a specific time.
“Wonderful! Marlow did a great job taking care of our 4 cats while we were away. They all have their quirks, including special directions, foods, and medications, and Marlow was on top of it all! They kept us updated at every check in and you could tell that they took the time to give them a bit of attention at each visit. We also got picture updates which were always appreciated! Great at communicating and very responsive. Our cats were happy and healthy when we returned - highly recommend having Marlow take care of your pets!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes. I’ve worked with puppies, special needs, and senior dogs. I would love to meet your pet! I’m currently doing some part time internship work during the week. But my schedule is flexible especially on Tuesday and Thursday. My weekends are free. I love spending time with animals. I am able to bathe, walk, crate, feed, and give medications. I would love to come meet your pets!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. For the past five years, I’ve regularly helped friends, neighbors, and family with their pets walking, feeding, and bathing them whenever they needed help. I’ve always had animals at home and currently have a sweet dog of my own. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, cats and ferret and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. I’m responsible, organized, and make sure to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I can be flexible with my schedule and always keep pet owners updated with photos and messages during each visit or walk. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for all pets in my care. I live in a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where dogs can play and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also have a friendly dog who loves company, but I can easily separate or crate pets if needed for their comfort and safety. I always make sure they feel relaxed, well-fed, and loved as if they were my own.
“I am very pleased with Jonathan for taking care of my dog Piper on Christmas day. She can be a nervous dog but she took to Jonathan very well and was very happy to see him. He has a gentle nature with pets and I highly recommend him to care for your fur babies.”
“The absolute best pet sitter ever! Our cats' happiness is proof of the wonderful care and attention Camilla provides. From the moment we met her, she was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Knowing our cats were in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It's not easy to earn the trust of our cats, but they were comfortable and happy with Camilla, which says everything about the way she cares for animals. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I take pride in all thing's pets. I honestly like animals better than people ha-ha. I'm also a great trainer. I work from home as well so Im always available for cuddles. I work from home full-time so I always have time for playtime and cuddles between client appointments. My fur babies are also super sweet and playful so your fur baby is in great paws. I can provide any special attention needed. I have a yard and 4 large parks nearby for playtime. I can also easily crate your fur baby if needed. I can provide any special attention needed.
“Dawn was great and it’s even better that she lives so close to me. We really enjoyed getting pictures while we were away for the evening. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have had dogs since I was an infant and now have a cat of my own I also took care of my girlfriends 4 dogs when she went to Myrtle Beach I work Sunday Wednesday Thursday nights a week and a couple afternoons so I am available any other times oh yeah sometimes Tuesday and Wednesday during the day I can come to your house and depending on the day and time I can play with them inside or outside maybe take them for a walk and if need be give meds
About: With my 7+ year career in non-profit animal welfare and vet med, including running a spay/neuter and vaccination clinic, (plus 30+ years of personal experience caring for cats, dogs, small animals, horses and exotics) you can rest easy leaving your animals in my experienced and loving care. From rambunctious puppies and kittens, to shy and reactive dogs (I have one of those myself), to seniors with special medical needs (I have THREE of those!), I've seen them all. When you entrust me with the care of your animal, they become like members of my extended four-legged family, receiving the same loving attention and care as my own. My engagements (work, volunteering, assisting with family childcare, etc.) are part-time only and highly flexible. My calendar reflects times that I am available (with notice) to intentionally commit my time and attention to your animals. Cats boarded in my home are given their own private bedroom with lots of natural sunlight and views over the garden for prime bird-watching. They will receive visits and love all day long, kept separate and unbothered by my cantankerous orange fluff-ball. Because one of my two dogs is very seldomly dog-social, out of fairness to her AND to clients' dogs I do not offer dog boarding in my home. I will happily care for your dog in your home, including overnights when my schedule allows.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Scotia is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scotia
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nadia! She watched my dog, Sammy, and my cat, Gizmo, while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I started referring to Nadia as “the dog whisperer” because I’ve been told in the past that Sammy is usually sad and misses us when we’re away. But every single picture Nadia sent showed Sammy smiling, relaxed, and as happy as could be! It was such a relief to see her genuinely enjoying herself!. Nadia was attentive, caring, and wonderful with both Sammy and Gizmo. The regular pictures and updates gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my time away without worrying about them. I would absolutely trust Nadia with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their animals like they’re her own. Sammy and Gizmo definitely give her five stars too! ❤️🐾 Thank you Nadia!
Meg was great with our pets! Our dog is a reactive rescue who usually takes multiple visits before he’s comfortable and he was begging her to pet him within the first 30 minutes. Our cat is elderly and needs medication and Meg was great with her as well. She was super communicative so we always felt like we knew exactly what was going on at home. We’ll definitely be booking more visits in the future and recommend Meg!
Mary took such good care of our gang of quadrupeds. We booked last minute but she was still able to schedule a meet & greet with the crew prior to caring for them. One of our dogs (ok, 2) struggles with new people, but Mary was patient and took her on a little trust walk to get acclimated, which meant a lot to us. She was a dream and we highly recommend her to care for your loved ones too!
Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of Huxley! She arrived on time, followed all directions perfectly, and was reliable and communicative throughout. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!
Scott was wonderful with our 3 dogs. One has stranger danger and he she warmed up to him with no question. Our puppy had some accidents and he made sure his crate was cleaned and dry. He was prompt and communicated very well. Would use him again in a heart beat!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Scotia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Scotia 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Scotia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
