Dog Boarding in Hantsport

“This is our first time using Rover and so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We found Jessica and we couldn’t have been more happy with her and her sweet dogs too! Koda really enjoyed being with her and Jessica was patient with him as he does have a bit of separation anxiety. We highly recommend Jessica and will definitely be boarding koda with her again! ?”

“First time leaving my 6 month old pup for a night but I had peace of mind knowing he'd be in good hands with Emma. He loves visiting to see his friend Luna, and even likes the cat. He slept the night no problem.”

About: I have had the pleasure of having dogs of all ages a part of my family. As a teen, I took part in training my family’s two golden doodles at the ages. Recently I welcomed my first dog of my own to the family this past fall. My now 6 month old golden retriever is developing to an obedient, playful and energetic teenager. I hope you give me the please of providing the same care to your babies! I do live a busy lifestyle, and currently am working rotational shift work. Unfortunately that means I’m not the best fit for a typical Monday-Friday. However I have the advantage of several consecutive days away from work in a row. If you have any specific dates you’re looking for a sitter, dog walking, or playdates with my golden please do not hesitate to reach out. I have a big (non-fenced in) back yard, and located next to walking trails through Wolfville. Our dog is crate trained in our home, and if you would like the same for yours, we can make that happen.

“We highly recommend Suzie as a pet sitter! She did an exceptional job looking after our two fur babies. Our 12 year old is not the easiest to please but she had a great time with Suzie, playing at her house. Suzie administered her meds twice a day like a champ. Our 4 year old took advantage snuggling with Suzie day and night. Suzie is a caring, diligent and loving person, so with her, your pet is in excellent hands!!!”

“Angie has looked after my two Labradoodles on numerous occasions and they LOVE her! They get excited when they know we are pulling up to her house and can’t wait to see her. Highly recommend her as a dog sitter! Ten out of ten!”

“We cannot say enough good about Lynn and her two precious fur babies! With our busy schedules this last month she was so understanding and kind! I was up in Nunavut and she would send pictures and videos that would make me smile from ear to ear being 3600kms away from home! She was easy to get in touch with and I knew with her caring heart and all her knowledge our girls were in amazing hands! One of our girls is a rescue who is timid and has kidney disease and required extra care around her food and this didn’t even phase Lynn which was such a relief to us as fur parents! We will definitely be booking again and are so relieved to have found such a wonderful and loving home-based doggy day care ????”

“Jeremiah was awesome with our deaf dog, he sent me photos & updates, which was very thoughtful.”

“I highly recommend Rhi as a pet caregiver! I have known Rhi for nearly six years and she has looked after my rescue pup Roo countless times with genuine love and care. Rhi's affection for animals is evident in the way she treats every pet she meets as her own. Her caring, observant and reliable nature make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a patient, loving caregiver for their pet!”

“I've known Wayne for years and can wholeheartedly recommend him as a pet caregiver. His skills in pet care are exceptional, evidenced by his well-trained dog, Whiskey. Wayne's love for dogs shines through in everything he does. I have repeatedly trusted him to watch over my own dog while I've been away, and he has never let me down. His walks are more than just a stroll; they're adventures that any dog would be lucky to experience. Wayne is not just caring and trustworthy, he’s a genuine dog lover who treats every pet with the utmost kindness and respect.”

“To say that Dunbar and Brownie had their own vacation would be an understatement. Sue and her family treated the dogs with such love, fun, and care that the pups didn’t want to leave their little getaway. Sue even went above and beyond with helping Dunbar as he needed some extra attention for medical reasons and we cannot thank them enough. You are all THE BEST!!! Don’t ever hesitate booking with Sue - you won’t regret it.”

About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is my unique combination of skills, experience, and passion for animal care. I have undergone professional dog obedience training, which includes understanding their unique needs, training them with positive reinforcement methods, and ensuring their overall well-being. In addition to this, I have extensive experience in senior pet care. I understand the special attention and patience required to care for older pets, including administering medication, assisting with mobility, dietary changes and providing comforting companionship. But beyond these skills, I think what truly sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the love and care they deserve. I believe this passion shines through in my work and is felt by the pets I care for. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. While I work from 9 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday, my evenings are dedicated to providing care for pets. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, and any other necessary services. On weekends, my schedule is much more flexible. I am available all day and can provide a range of services, including boarding. This allows me to spend quality time with the pets, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I understand the importance of consistency in a pet’s routine, so I strive to maintain their usual schedule as closely as possible. Whether it’s their feeding times, walk times, or playtimes, I adapt my routine to fit theirs. This way, pet care seamlessly fits into my life, and I can provide the best service possible for your furry friends. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, is always done with the utmost respect and consideration for the pet’s needs and comfort. In my home, I ensure that the environment is safe, clean, and comfortable for the pets. I have a dedicated space for them to rest and play. I also maintain a strict feeding schedule and ensure they have plenty of fresh water available at all times. Playtime and walks are a part of the daily routine, and I make sure to give them plenty of attention and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. I ensure the pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible to what they are accustomed to, in order to minimize stress. This includes feeding times, walk times, and any medication or special care they might need. In both scenarios, I prioritize communication with the pet owners. I provide regular updates and am always reachable should they wish to check in on their pet. My goal is to provide peace of mind to the pet owners, knowing their furry friends are in good hands

“Once again, Kate was a wonderful companion for my little dog, Bella, while I was out of town. I will absolutely be hiring her again and HIGHLY recommend her.”

“Grace is one of the most caring and loving person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, she loves dogs and loves taking care of them. I believe she is the best person for the job.”

“Talia was very sweet with my little guy and he seemed to fit right in and feel at home with her.”

“Understood the needs of my reactive pup well. She was in good hands. Glad we found him as we just moved to the valley and will use his services again.”

“My dog Xavier was at Jean's house for 3 days when I was visiting from Maine for the Apple Blossom Festival, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was truly exceptional. She took excellent care of him, and has excellent dogs for him to play and go on long walks with. He was the happiest I have ever seen him after staying somewhere else. I only wish I lived closer, as she is the only sitter I would ever use. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!”

“My dog, Marlowe, had a lovely stay with Ashley and Roanne! Marlowe was injured and on antiinflammatory medication just before our trip, but there were no issues with his medication schedules at all. It was extremely reassuring knowing that Ashley works as a vet tech. Ashley and Roanne were great at sending pictures and updates! They really put my mind at ease. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing Marlowe was being showered with care and attention. 100% recommend and will use again!”

“Aaron is an amazing pet sitter and great person! I feel totally comfortable having her in my home to pet sit our cat overnight while we are out of town. She is so reliable and caring I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for pet care.”

“Thanks Heather for your support. I recommend your service . you are such a incredible sitter. Thanks ?”

“Gavin and his partner Alex were phenomenal dog sitters! Our 3.5 year-old cockapoo, Louie, took an instant liking to their warm and affectionate personalities. We were provided with regular updates during Louie's stay and felt totally assured the entire time. It's clear that Gavin and Alex have a genuine love for dogs. Highly recommend!”
