“Gillian is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, we felt confident that our dogs were in good hands. It’s clear how much she cares and loves animals. Our girls were so happy and relaxed when we returned, and we loved the updates and photos she sent while we were away. We were able to relax and not worry about the girls while we were gone. Gillian went above and beyond, not only taking care of the dogs but also ensuring everything at home was in order. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and kind dog sitter, Gillian is it!”
“Amy was so amazing. Always on time and very good with our senior dog down to our very energetic golden retriever. Very kind and so communicative. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“Lianna did a great job! Kept me updated on all the ins and outs of the pups throughout the two days I was away. She was punctual and communicative. Thanks for taking great care of Taz and Molly!”
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Adrianna was amazing! She was great at communicating and took great care of my kitten!! She went above and beyond and I could tell that my baby was happy and taken care of when we got home :)”
“Felicity was wonderful with my cats. She did so much and was so reliable. I know they will miss her and I'd be thrilled to have her back any time. Thank you Felicity ❤️”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with our puppy for lunch drop-ins! She’s great with instruction, respectful, and fantastic with communication. We will absolutely be using Mary again in the future.”
“Bri was wonderful! It was clear from her updates that my cat Laszlo loved her, and when I came home he was happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond and I would definitely book her again.”
“Nadia is so great with our pups ! She has a calming presence with them and makes me feel very comfortable when we are away. She’s responsible and caring and always gives us cute pics and updates !!”
“Rachel was great watching our cats. Send us a message update everyday and photos. Recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter and would absolutely hire her again when we go away”
“Amber was fantastic! She set up a meet and greet with my animals and they immediately loved her. She had excellent communication and asked for expectations. We went over medications and time frames and she was very honest with her availability and schedule. Not only that, I was a dummy and had requested wrong dates in the future when I needed her that weekend. She was THANKFULLY available and we booked! The animals were well taken care of, we got tons of photos of our babies, and updates on our escape artists (cats). Not only that, I’m pretty sure she washed a few dishes in our sink which was such an amazing surprise after driving home from our weekend hockey tournament. It was a great experience and I look forward to hopefully booking her again!”
“Megan did a great job with our three cats, She is very warm and affectionate with animals. Medication administration was done with great care. Instructions were followed well. She was very understanding about one of our cats who is wary of strangers. Very happy with her service, especially because it was a last minute request!”
About: I’ve had a love for dogs since I was young, the past year I’ve had experience looking after my friends dogs for overnights or a simple walk. I’m always open to looking after them during family vacations or helping where I can with a mini walk break or a light jog! Boarding I am only available weekends however weekdays I have more flexibility to dog sit. Regularly scheduled bathroom break, plenty of time on walks, and maybe a pup cup! I do not have a fence in my own home, however I am used to long walks with dogs in high temperatures and understand the importance of balance and rest for dogs in extreme weather.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“Julianna came and did some drop-off visits for my malinois and pug, she was very communicative and punctual. My dogs were well taken care of and I really appreciate the peace of mind while we were out for the day.”
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!
“Elizabeth is awesome to work with. She completely tailors care to what is best for us and our pets. From extra long walks with our shy pooper to last minute bookings she has been incredible.”
“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 been working with animals for roughly 7 years, and have experience with reptiles, canines, felines, and small animals of varied ages. *Been hired by 20+ families total in several states such as California, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia though an old Rover account that I can no longer log in to. I am home full-time so will be available almost 24/7 *Experience with administrating medication! *Will provide basic grooming if asked or if necessary.(nail trimming/bath) I am home almost 24/7, so I will be available at almost all hours of the day and am very flexible with your own schedule In my home, I will be able to supervise your fur baby at all times, as well as administer medicine when told and if necessary

Gillian was a great pet sitter for my three dogs large dogs she was very calm in her approach with my fur babies and they loved her ! We felt very comfortable and confident when meeting her.We returned home to three happy dogs l would recommend her and will use her services again !!
This was our cats' second booking with Cassandra. I will let their reactions to us coming through the front door speak for me: Yasha got up from sleeping and stretched a bit before trilling while walking to her dad for pets. Usually she is standoffish for at least two hours before begrudgingly asking for affection. Molly sprinted towards the front door and slid a bit on the floor as he stopped suddenly. He let out a loooooong meow before turning around and walking away. He had been starting to run to greet Cassandra at the door, and I can't help but feel like he was disappointed it was us and our luggage instead. 18/18 toe beans and 100% cat approved sitter!
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!
Alexis did such a great job checking in on my cat. :) She told me my cat war very loving to her which is very rare for her to open up to strangers. Was very open to communication, asked if there was certain things my cat liked to do like getting brushed (which she melts when getting brushed lol) She did a great job and will have to for sure have her do it more and do a stay over with Sapphire sometime too when i need to leave for a few days. Thank you Alexis :)
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Scotia on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,081 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Scotia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scotia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
