About: I love all animals and all breeds. Since I was young I have been caring for and around numerous types and breeds of animals. I have learned that much like people every dog, cat, lizard, etc has its own personality and needs. Im ready and willing to give your pets the best care and love imaginable while you're away. Im not afraid of difficult animals with harder temperaments. Im patient and want to be your pets new friend. This will be one of the main ways I earn money in parallel with Uber eats. If I take a pet sit job it will be prioritized over UberEats. My days and nights are pretty open. Im a single father of an almost 3 year old little girl. She loves animals too and if your fur baby is ok with kids she would love to play as well. I will follow all stipulations and requests for your pet to help keep their routine and keep them comfy and happy. I have a decent sized property. Some fenced. Most open. We are out in chattaroy so not much of the city by us. If your pets like other dogs/animals we do have 3 dogs that regularly visit the property. They all 3 are extremely friendly and playful. As I said above I will follow all regimens and requests by owner to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their routine.

About: In the last three years I’ve raised 3 different puppies and taken care of a personal rescue. Aswell I’ve taken care of 3 senior/weak dogs at the same time with no issues. I currently work as a farm hand on my mom’s horse facility. So when home I’m out doing projects. But I can leave and stay anywhere if without much fuss. I have a nice fenced yard for free play time aswell as some land for them to really stretch the legs. I have two healers at my home. One spayed female 2yrs old, and one 7 month old male not neutered. They love to play but also jsut chill and cuddle.
“I needed someone to watch my two dogs in my home. I hired Winifred based on her reviews which are very good. She came before hand to meet the dogs and get acquainted with their care, and they were very comfortable with her. She is very experienced with animal care and I felt totally comfortable having her care for my dogs. Winifred sent daily updates and pictures which was nice and the dogs loved her extra attention. My house was totally as I left it and the dogs happy when we got home. I highly recommend Winifred to anyone who needs pet sitting services!”

“Tierra was amazing. Very kind and exceptional communication. She is very well-versed in animal care and was so good to our pups. She left the house nice and tidy and kept us updated while we were gone. Will absolutely book with her again.”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She was able to step in and watch my dogs for me while I was out of town on a last minute work trip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely rebook with her!”
“Rachel is absolutely lovely! My crew had a great day with her. I felt very secure in leaving them with her as a sitter new to us. Thanks for the extra care and fun and games with some trickery! I will absolutely hire Rachel again.”


About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and ages. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m committed to providing personalized care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student on summer break with a completely flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the week. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.

I've been in pet care since I was sixteen including dog grooming I treat every dog like my best friend I treat any animal as if they were my own;giving them love and all the attention they would need not to mention play time outside

About: I lived on a small farm growing up and fell in love with animals. I took 4H when I was little putting rabbits in the fair. One thing to know about 4H Rabbits is at the Fair is that they are the tamest rabbit there, because of the time and love we give the rabbits. At the fair we got the opportunity to present the open class rabbits to the judges since we where train to handle them. I also worked with our family dog, (a collie at the time), on training him for 4H. Since them, in my teenage years, I bread and hand raise parkettes. I sold them to people once they where old enough to leave there moms. I know have two dogs I rescued, and a cat. I am always walking my dogs come rain, snow. Or sunshine. If you find yourself unable to walk your dogs because of work or weather, I am more then willing to walk them for you. Just give me a shout! I have three friendly dogs and a cat to keep your dogs, or cat company. I always leash the pets up before we go out for walks or whatever to keep them safe.

About: I’m not claiming to be the best pet sitter, but here’s what I do know. I love animals & I love a clean house! A little about me—I'm a 51 year old, mom of 2 twenty year old college students, & a big wellness chaser. I absolutely love animals and have always enjoyed caring for pets as if they were my own. Spending quality time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to, whether that's going for neighborhood walks, playing outside, or simply keeping them company. As an active tennis and pickleball player & runner, I appreciate being outdoors as often as possible. I also understand how important it is to leave a home exactly as I'd want someone to leave mine. I take pride in being clean, organized, and respectful of other people's spaces. My goal is always for homeowners to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a spotless, welcoming home. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medications as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m an active person, and caring for a pet complements my lifestyle perfectly. During the week, I easily schedule morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship around my work schedule (which is flexible), and my tennis and pickleball activities. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible, allowing for extra walks, outdoor adventures, and quality time. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for is always a priority. I understand that leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and any special preferences or routines you’ve established. I also believe a calm, tidy home helps pets feel secure. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I do my own, keeping it clean, locked, and well maintained. I’ll make sure your pet has plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while also watching for any changes in behavior or health. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving excellent care until you return home.
“Jasmine did an excellent job watching our two dogs, Grizz (German Shepherd) & Oliver (Papillon)! She even stayed overnight with them when we were out of town! Our dogs loved her as she fed them, played with them and enticed them with doggie treats! She went above and beyond, and even washed the sheets after staying the night! I highly recommend her!”
“I ended up having a family emergency and found Emilyanne last minute. She was flexible and came for the meet and greet with my dad the next day and watched my 2 elderly, large breed dogs the following day. She was very thorough, took great care of my girls, exercised them everyday, updated me with photos multiple times daily and took great care of my house. I came home to a spotless house, clean fridge, a poop scooped yard and laundry done. I would highly recommend Emilyanne and would use her again for future dog sits.”

About: I’ve cared for seniors and disabled humans. All my pets have been rescues including dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits. Current work is with purebreds (not exclusively) and I’m training in scent tracking with 2 of them. My kids are grown and gone, I’m single and work from home, anywhere I have wifi. I walk pets early in the morning, and spend 90 minutes at the gym which is potentially the longest your pet would be without supervision and care. I require specific details about your pets routine, character and potential Veterinary needs and care, plus communication while you are away at your discretion. Owner preferences for change of habits requested (do they sleep with you? Treat/reward/training system? How are they in the car?).

“Abby was amazing!! We contacted her last minute to dog and house sit over Labor Day weekend and she was able to accommodate. From the meet and greet we knew she was the right person to care for our dogs and our home. Great communication during our trip, and lots of pictures and cute videos of the dogs. They absolutely loved her!! I can’t say enough about Abby’s kind and caring nature. She’ll be our “go to” sitter in the future!!”

About: I've cared for dogs (small to medium size), cats, ducks, fish, chickens and some birds since in my teens. I've looked after friends, family and neighbors pets for feeding, boarding, day care, walking, play, etc… I am an artist, so I am free to be home all day therefore my availability is Monday through Sunday. My hours are flexible and accommodating to your pets needs. I have a house with a tall fenced yard and 3 dogs that are dog and people friendly. Your pets can play with mine or they can be placed in a separate area. During good weather, I leave the back door open so dogs are free to come in and out of the house. All dogs sleep inside the house together or if requested in a separate room.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 510 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scotia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Scotia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Scotia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scotia. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
