About: Single mom with a loving toddler who is great with pets. I grew up with dogs and owned a boxer/lab for 8 years. No pets ourselves currently and I work from home full-time, with a good sized backyard. Looking to give some animals love, provide a safe and caring home, while using my skills and backyard space to hopefully help those who need it! I work from home full time on the phones/computer. I have lots of time to provide love, cuddles, and let your furry pals outside. I have two 15 minute breaks and a half hour lunch for walks, along with evenings and weekends free with my daughter for walks and playing outside! I have a basement level home that walks out onto a large yard. It is almost fully blocked in by trees, minus one side. I have a long chain so your dogs can be free to explore the yard as they please. Inside they are free to roam and welcome on all of the furniture!

“Easygoing and so kind. My pup was a happy gal and seemed relaxed in all the photos. Very responsive. We'll be seeing Danielle again I'm sure.”

“Bella, our standard poodle, stayed with Jannie for 3 weeks. Bella was happy and well cared for. Jannie sent us lots of pictures. She also clipped Bellas nails and cleaned her ears. I had booked the wrong day and Jannie was very understanding and easygoing about it. She was able to take Bella a day earlier than I had booked. I was very grateful and appreciated her attitude and her understanding.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom for 12 years, I know just how much our pets mean to us! I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to provide the same love, patience and attention that you would. Having recently said goodbye to my beloved dog, I’m looking forward to opening my heart and home to other pups. I have plenty of love to give and would be delighted to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs or simply curling up on the couch, I’m happy to tailor their stay to their personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, and my goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure and right at home. I’m also happy to share regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands! I work full-time, remotely, and enjoy an active lifestyle, with plenty of room in my routine for flffy company! Having been a dog mom for many years, I’m very familiar with balancing work, walks, feeding schedules, playtime and, of course, lots of cuddles. I offer both doggy daycare and overnight boarding, including weekdays and weekends, depending on my schedule. I love getting outside for walks and am equally happy spending a cozy evening at home. I’m flexible and happy to discuss your dog’s individual needs to make sure their stay fits comfortably into both of our routines! I live in a comfortable, dog-friendly apartment building in Halifax, where there are lots of grassy areas and parks near by for walks on leash. With no other pets currently in my home, your dog can enjoy plenty of individual attention in a calm, relaxed environment. I’m attentive and will follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe and settled.

About: I grew up on a farm so I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was small. We have always had dogs and cats around the house and the farm and we learned the importance for caring for and loving animals. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbours. More recently, I have taken care of a whole litter of puppies while my friend was away on vacation. My passion for animals has sparked me getting a dog of my own which has led me to experience all the joys that come along with puppies and dogs in general. I would be so happy to meet your lovely pet and get the chance to take care of them for a bit! I’m currently working full time as a teacher but I am free after school hours and on weekend to take care of your fur baby! I have a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company if they like other dogs. If they prefer one on one attention that is no problem either! I am very flexible and accommodating. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority!

About: I had over 16 years looking after my own baby and now I have so much love to give :) I will treat your pet with as much love and care as our own little baby :) I want to help other dog owner feel comfortable and safe to leave their pets in a loving environment while they were away. Your dog will be given lots of love, cuddles, space, and walks. Your dog is welcome on the couch or bed, they are welcome to wander our apartment. I work from home throughout the week, so I am very flexible to look after your pet and meet any kind of schedule that you may need! I live in a small, brand new apartment, but I love taking dogs for walk along the harbour, or point pleasant park if they are up for it :)

“Sarah is fantastic! She takes care of my French bulldog whenever I travel. She sends me updates and and treats him like a king. Highly recommend Sarah!”

About: I have been lucky enough to have pets my whole life! I have the most experience with dogs, cats and horses, but also I’m experienced with birds, fish and other farm animals I work a flexible full-time day job Monday to Friday that allows me to easily leave for potty breaks! I am fully available evenings and weekends to spend extra time exercising and loving on your pets! I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages, and levels of training. I am familiar with crate training, potty training young dogs, and caring for the sweetest seniors, even those in their last days, as I recently went through this heart-break with my senior chocolate lab.

“Nalini took such great care of Ollie :) She sent photo updates, was great with communication and was so sweet to Ollie during his stay with her.”

“Kate was so easy to work with. She boarded our dog for a weekend and we were thrilled with her. She asked questions when they arose and made sure to follow our instructions and schedules . She kept me up to date with text messages and photos. Overall, very happy with Kate and would definitely book again.”

Kaitlyn S.

“Our dog Ollie had a wonderful time hanging out with Celia. She was very responsive and accommodating. This was our first time leaving our guy with someone on the Rover app and Celia did an amazing job sending picture updates making us confident Ollie was settling in well! We will definitely be sending Ollie for more sleepovers!”

“Kelly and William took great care of my Henry while I was away, and were very responsive throughout. My pooch was happy and healthy when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and can't imagine a home without them. I currently have a beloved dog and cat who are truly part of the family, and I care for them with lots of love, patience, and attention. From playful pups to cuddly cats, I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities. Whether it's going for walks, feeding, playing, or just offering some company while you're away, I treat every animal like they're my own. Hi there! I'm a pet lover with a flexible schedule—working remotely two days a week and home most evenings. We go on evening walks rain or shine, and we make sure our own pup gets plenty of exercise, love, and playtime. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or outdoor adventures, your pet will feel right at home with us! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel secure and loved. I'm attentive to each pet's unique needs and routines, and I take the time to ensure they feel right at home. Whether we're out for a walk or relaxing indoors, I keep a close eye to ensure they're safe, happy, and well cared for. You can trust that while your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family—with kindness, respect, and plenty of affection.

About: Pets have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember - dogs and cats especially, along with small animals along the way. Beyond my years as a pet owner, I've volunteered as an advanced marine mammal rescue volunteer and as a dog walker, and I bring that same hands-on dedication to every animal in my care. Caring for animals has been a significant part of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a soft spot for dogs that need a little extra patience - my own 15-year-old boy (who recently crossed the rainbow bridge after an incredible life) was both dog and people reactive, and navigating that with love taught me more than any training course could. I'm comfortable adapting walks and routines to keep reactive or anxious dogs feeling safe and confident. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart as well. I have hands-on experience managing diabetes and administering insulin in a senior dog, and I understand the attentiveness and gentleness that aging animals deserve. I recently said goodbye to both my 18-year-old cat and my sweet 15-year-old dog, so I truly get how precious and deserving of great care your senior fur family members are. Whether your pet needs a relaxed in-home visit, a thoughtful walk, medication support, or just someone who will love them like their own - I'm your person. I cannot wait to meet them! 🐾 I am self-employed and work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility in my day to care for your pet. They are welcome to come hang out at my house, or I am able to come to them. I am adaptable and will make the space as comfortable for them as possible, should they stay here. Pets are family and we treat them as such in my house.

About: Booking now for the Fall!! 🍂🍁 Use code COURTG92048 for 20$ off your first booking with me. I've been walking dogs and sitting for cats for years now, so I've seen it all: the zoomies, the guilt-trip stares, the dramatic sighs when dinner is two minutes late. Dogs get walks matched to their vibe. Cats get the respect they clearly believe they're owed 🐈. Meds, anxiety, quirky habits — I've handled it all and I'm not easily rattled. Basically: your pet gets a sitter who has tonnes of experience and will love them more than most. ♥️ I currently work 730-5pm schedule,Monday through Thursday. I can be free most evening and weekends to help you with your fur baby. I do drive and can take them to parks and swim spots. Same routine, same rules, same love they'd get from you. I follow your instructions to the letter, send photo updates, and pay close attention to how your pet is really doing.

“Adrienne took great care of our young lab. She took him for runs in the park and the beach where he could blow off some of his energy. Adrienne also kept me updated with pictures and videos. Thank you Adrienne for taking care of Jax during our stay in Sydney.”

About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs through my own 5 year old Cavapoo, as well as regularly watching friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of attention and care. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of company, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I live in a dog-friendly apartment close to several great parks and walking spots. With a little dog of my own, I know all the best places nearby for walks, playtime, and getting some fresh air. Your pup will have a comfortable, dog-friendly home base with plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore!

“My two energetic goldens had a great time! They got lots of walks, fetch and cuddles. They clearly felt at home. I got plenty of photo and video updates and great communication. Highly recommend!”
