About: I have had a special place in my heart for animals of all kind my whole life. I have a dog and three cats of my own and I have dogsat for friends and family on many occasions for prolonged periods. By day, I am a Pharmacy Technician, which means I’m patient, empathetic, and have medical experience (I’m very comfortable administering medication and injections). I work full time but I have the time to give your pet quality time and attention, walks, bathroom breaks, and whatever other special care they might need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and kitties of all attitudes. I will make sure your pet is cared for in the way that they’re used to being cared for so they feel comfortable and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. For winter walks, I follow a safety-first policy. If sidewalks are icy, there is freezing rain/sleet, or conditions are unsafe for walking, I may need to cancel or reschedule. I’ll always give as much notice as possible.

“Greer has been walking Scamp for a while now and she has been amazing!! Always on time and leaves us a rover card with his walk route, pictures, and number of pees/poops. When it was too hot for her to complete an hour walk she came back the next day to make up the time which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I have strong listening and communication skills from my customer service background, so I always make sure pet parents feel updated and reassured. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, or a senior pet who needs gentle care and extra patience, I adapt to make them feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and create a loving, stress-free environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular interaction, playtime, and comfort.I am available for house sitting for both cats and dogs, and I can also host cats in my home. Since I work remotely, I’m able to follow feeding schedules closely, provide timely potty breaks, and maintain a calm, structured environment.I only accept bookings I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives reliable, attentive, and loving care. Since I work from home, cats in my care receive consistent supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide cozy resting spots, and make sure their environment is calm and stress-free. I also spend time socializing and enriching their day with toys, scratching posts and gentle interaction. I provide house sitting by following each pet’s routine carefully feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I ensure their environment stays safe and comfortable and I provide updates to owners regularly so they feel reassured. For dogs, I include walks or outdoor play and for cats, I make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they are energetic, shy or senior pets needing extra care.No matter the location or service, every pet in my care receives attention, affection and the same level of love and responsibility I would give my own pets.

About: I know the essentials of dog care. I’ve lived in a home with a dog for a little over 12 years as an adult. I had the privilege of having my first pup Cooper, raising and training him. From this experience I learned some essential on senior dog care. He requires specialist veterinary care. I have also learned a lot from a family member who works in animal medicine I’ve gone through the incredibly cute puppy phase of training both of my pups. I use positive reinforcement always. Both my dogs thrived with this training and turned out well mannered but still have fun. With any dog I’ve had or looked after, I know exercise is essential. Of course the amount is breed dependant. The two pups I’ve had are high energy breeds, a husky shepherd mix and now a black Labrador. The saying indeed does ring true “a tired dog is a happy dog” I am currently available during the days and early evenings. I have a vehicle but live outside of HRM. It’s best for both people to have advanced notice to insure I can accommodate the request. I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and attention to their needs. Just like people no two dogs are the same. I would want to speak with you to make sure I understand what your furry friend requires to make it as stress free for them. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, supervision, exercise, and positive attention. I make sure your dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me.

About: I've grown up around pets and have looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbours. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and sticking to any routines they have. I think what sets me apart is that I'm really patient and attentive, and I genuinely love animals, so I treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 🐾💕 I do most of my schoolwork from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home during the day. That makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine, whether that's walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or just keeping pets company throughout the day. I’m super respectful and trained with animals! I’m open to all kinds of care and experienced in each that I offer. I’m so excited to get to know your pet.

About: I have a genuine passion for caring for animals and take pride in providing safe, loving, and attentive care for every pet I look after. I have experience working with a wide range of animals, including energetic puppies, senior dogs who need extra patience and gentleness, as well as reactive dogs that require a calm, understanding approach. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and can confidently follow specific routines or administer medications as directed. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My reliability, attention to detail, and deep love for animals make me a great fit for any pet care needs. I incorporate pet care into my daily routine consistently—my own dog and I are out every single day, rain or shine, making walks and outdoor time a non-negotiable part of our schedule. Being in between jobs at the moment has given me the opportunity to fully lean into my passion for animals and dedicate more time and energy to their care. I’m using this time to focus on providing reliable, attentive pet care, and I’m able to offer a flexible schedule to meet a variety of needs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy building my days around. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. In both my home and my client’s home, I aim to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment by following their usual routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet rest. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, providing lots of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting their boundaries. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with owners are very important to me, so you can feel confident that your pet is not only well cared for, but truly cared about.

About: I have been professionally working with dogs and cats for about 3 years in well known dog & cat daycare & boarding services. I currently work full time in a dog daycare but would like to build my own business within the animal care space. I've looked after all kinds of cats and dogs over the years including any needing meds or special attention. I'm currently working full time with dogs and would love to start dog walking in my spare time (yes I love dogs that much). I finish work early on Wednesdays and Thursdays and I'm also available on the weekends. I'm confident we can find something that suits both of our schedules. I have a cat in my home and she doesn't like other animals so all pet care would have to be in your home as I don't want to stress her out.

“We contacted Samantha last minute to take care of our Golden Doodle Barkley, she was very quick to respond and eager to help! She sent lots of sweet photos of our boy throughout the walk and we could tell from her summary of the visit that she really cared about and understood him and his quirks! When we got home the next day we were greeted with a very happy boy and could tell he was well taken care of. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely contact her again to take care of him in the future!”

About: I’m the kind of pet sitter who will probably spoil your pet a little — okay, maybe a lot! 🐾 I have two dogs of my own, so I understand that pets aren’t “just pets”; they’re family. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with energetic pups, cuddly companions, and senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they get all the belly rubs and cuddles they’re used to. My goal is for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back! I’m retired, so I’m home most days and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I have a very flexible schedule and can give them the attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I’m not rushing off to work, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for walks and play. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs. If caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
