Dog Daycare in Cole Harbour

“This was my first time using Rover and Zenobia was incredible. She kept me updated with photos throughout the day, and Reilly loved all the attention he got! Thank you Zenobia, for taking such great care of my boy”

“Ben watched our mini schnoodle Nala for the day so we could go be tourists. He was great with her. He sent lots of photos and she got a big morning walk. Thanks so much! Highly recommend.”

“Our Niko-pup loves going to Gail’s! He runs right up the stairs when we get there, and I can tell by the photos she sends that he is very content and happy in their home! They are very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times, kind, and keep him safe. :)”

“Justin checked in with me multiple times throughout the day, sending a few photos and provided updates on my dog Luna. Luna definitely was well taken care of and is happily snoozing by my feet after a great day out (bonus fetch!). Will be booking with Justin for a 4 night boarding stay for Luna in the future and I am extremely confident that she will be well cared for and provided lots of attention. Thanks so much!!”

“Audrey was very kind and caring with our Husky, Estelle. We were visiting our family in Dartmouth and we could not bring Estelle on some of our day trips. Audrey was very considerate, taking good care of Estelle and even bringing her to the lake to cool off when it was too hot. We would definitely book again with Audrey!”

About: I recently had to say good-bye to my 16.5 yo soulmate Jagger. Jagger had many health issues from his puppy years to his senior years which I financed (with ZERO hesitation 🥰) & managed daily. I feel that I learned so much from his various healthcare issues that can carry over into caring for your loving soulmate. I am experienced in anything from eye/eardrops, administering oral medications, and even insulin injections. I also successfully crate trained Jagger as a puppy and feel that this kept him to be a calm, independent, and happy dog well into his senior years. I have no children so I have lots of time and space to devote to your beloved pets. I am looking forward to opening my home to them and sharing my love with your dogs (or cats) who may be in need of a safe space while you are away. There are also many lovely parks, beaches, lakes and trail adventures for your dog to experience in my neighborhood and I look forward to sharing all of them with your pets! I work from home so have the freedom to have playtime , walks, and potty breaks many times throughout the day and night with absolute patience and love I am able to accommodate any size dog or cat Inside my home. With lots of large windows for them to look outside and watch the world go by. I also have lots of beds, treats and toys on hand to help make your pet’s stay comfortable!

“Amazing, and great working with a nervous pup. Their dog is also patient and sweet. Plan to book them often!”

“Carolina is SO good with my pup. My pup gets so excited to see her! She sends photos all day long of their adventures and I feel so safe with my baby there :)”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, and am currently the proud owner of a 7-yo Beagle, Stella. She's very friendly with lots of friends and playmates, so our home is well adapted to four-legged visitors and guests :) I'm a freelance translator who works from home, with a flexible schedule and generally light workload, leaving me plenty of time to look after other dogs besides my own, including long walks and fun outings to the park. I have a great set-up to board dogs in my home: I live with my dog (7yo) and cat (10yo) in a bright, clean suite with a nice balcony in a very pet-friendly apartment complex in the North End of Halifax. There's a semi-private courtyard out front where dogs like to congregate and socialize, I'm in a very walkable neighborhood close to downtown, the Commons and the waterfront, and I have a safe, reliable car that I use to take my dog and others on fun outings to the park (Point Pleasant Park is a favorite destination). In addition, I'm certified in Pet First Aid by St. John Ambulance (Oct. 29, 2023 - certificate available for viewing in photos).

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I even had a horse at one point. I've done farm work and I'm very comfortable around animals. I'm the go to for friends and family when fur babies need taking care of! I currently work from home 2 days a week so we can walk on my lunch break. There is lots of opportunity for play as well I have a large fenced yard that offers lots of play with my big girl Betty. I can offer walks and I can crate or gate your fur baby if necessary

“Sunny was so great with my 1 year old puppy!! Even if we came super early or picked her up later than we thought, she was always so understanding. Our dog got used to Sunny really quickly and was really excited to see her when we dropped her off! 10/10 and will definitely be having Sunny dog sit again :)”

About: Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I emigrated to Canada in 2020. After spending a few years in Toronto, I moved to Halifax in February 2025. If you take your dog(s) to Point Pleasant Park, there's a good chance that you have bumped into me and my little black Patterdale Terrier (Calvin) already! I've been around and looked after dogs most of my life. Growing up, I had a Border Collie and looked after my uncle's German Shepherd, and whenever we go home to my in-laws' house, I love spending time with their huge Golden Retriever. Calvin and I are enjoying exploring Halifax and the surrounding areas. Calvin is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs. I offer dog boarding and daycare services. I have a seasonal job (April to December) where I work from home. There is a degree of flexibility with my job, so I can nip out with the dogs for frequent potty breaks if necessary, and can take them out in the car to somewhere they can run around and get some exercise before and after work, (if your dog has poor recall, I have an extra long training leash). During the winter months, I will be available for dog walking services in addition to boarding and daycare. When staying with us, be it for boarding or daycare, rest assured, your dog will be well looked after. There will be a good walk each morning and early evening. During the day, there will be lots of playtime, cuddles, physical and mental stimulation (and potty breaks if necessary). I am not a professional dog trainer, but I do enjoy the training process. If there is something that you are working on with your dog at home, let me know about it (what your goal is, what command/signals you use), and I will try to continue the training during the stay. Do not be surprised if your dog needs a good snooze after leaving our care! Lol.

“Kara was amazing with our dog, Golden!! Very friendly & accommodating. Sent lots of pics. I'd recommend her to anyone!”

About: As someone who works from home, I’m able to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve throughout the day — whether that means midday walks, playtime breaks, or extra cuddles. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routine. My priority is to keep your pets safe, happy, and loved, just like they’re my own. I prioritize a clean and smoke-free home. I have a large condo space with minimal furniture. I am a deep animal lover and grew up with pets in the family, including dogs, cats, chinchillas, birds, and turtles. I am a patient and kind pet owner myself, quick to learn each animal’s unique needs and routines. I adapt easily, stay attentive to details, and treat every pet with my utmost care. I work a fully remote job, and my primary available hours would be 9 AM - 5 PM; however, I can be flexible as well. I have a large smoke-free condo space alone with minimal furniture. It's a hardwood floor, and I live next to many parks, so there is a lot of space to walk animals.

“Sammy had a fun day at Carissa’s with her 2 doggies. She has a nice big fenced back yard with plenty of room to run and play. It felt great to leave him for the day and not worry about him, and he came home and was tired.”

“My puppy had a great visit with Mine and her partner. Their black lab is a sweetheart and they got along great. A very nice puppy friendly family. Definitely recommend them.”
