I have taken care of an array of different animals and would love the opportunity to come hang out, walk, and or take care of your animals with love.

About: Hi there! I’m Autumn, a lifelong animal lover based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m also more than happy to provide references upon request! Feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you and your furry friends! I work part-time as a nanny and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide loving, reliable care! I know pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I do my best to keep their routines consistent while giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m always happy to accommodate any specific needs or preferences to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep things tidy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been the happy pet owner of the sweetest golden doodle, named Buddha. I believe I have great experience with dogs because Buddha has had many health problems throughout his life and it had helped me understand fully how much care and love you need to put in to having a pet. In my house our pets are more than just a pet, they are our family. Every time we travel we have someone come to our house to watch Buddha, as I do with some of my close friends pets. I have experience dog walking, babysitting dogs over weekends or holidays & i also have experience with sorting dogs medications and keeping them healthy and happy. Dogs are our best friends & should be spoiled for making our lives better!!

About: When your fuzzbud comes to stay with my partner Patrick and I, they enjoy fresh ocean air, playtime, warmth and companionship. I work from home Tues/Thurs, and am just a short 3 min drive away M/W/F. On those days, Pat comes home for a lunch time walk between 11am-12pm. We live in a cozy bungalow on a quiet street, just steps from the ocean and close to wooded trails. We have an unfenced forested area in the back with a secure long leash setup for quick breaks, and we love getting outside for walks and little adventures. If you’re travelling, we’d love to be your pet’s home away from home. You can expect lots of care, affection, patience, and calm, attentive energy - so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is in good hands. ❤️ I can be available during the work week (with drop-off before 8:30am).

I care for pets in a calm, safe, and welcoming home environment. Feel free to drop your pet off for an overnight stay, or book them in for longer while you travel worry-free!! I can also do house checks or evening walks!

About: I am 23 years old, I have grown up with a cat an adopted husky lab mix dog during my child hood. Since I have moved the city, my family has a golden/Labrador mix, which we have raised since he was a puppy. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, especially larger dogs, and I love cats. I am a full time student, and work part time. This is a job I am doing in my spare time, availability for your pets care and needs during our conversation Any requirements or special care/attention can be discussed during our conversation and I would like to get to know you and your pets before the start of the sit.

About: I have experience caring for playful kittens, newly spayed cats who need extra attention, energetic puppies, and senior dogs with unique needs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I work shift work - I will typically work 28 days on and have 28 days off. To be honest, I miss being around animals and want to use this as an opportunity to make furry friends and give them love and care. It brings me a lot of joy. I will provide constant supervision during outdoor playtime to ensure no accidents ensue. I am attentive and always prepared for all situations. I will provide animals the enrichment they require and want to make sure they are comfortable and safe at all times.

About: I have owned multiple sets of dogs for nearly 30 years. I walk a couple of times a day already so why not walk yours too? Off to the Dartmouth Commons for a walk! Living in the area and have a varied cycle but always have time for dog walks and hikes! Extended weekend hikes where we go for a long hike is very possible too! Not interested in hosting right now. It might be possible in the future when things are better understood. I have hosted dogs for years though..usually friends and family pups.

About: I’ve been a proud Yorkie owner for over 5 years, giving me hands-on experience in daily pet care, exercise, and lots of tail-wagging fun! I understand the importance of patience, attention, and love when it comes to caring for dogs, and I bring that same dedication to every pup I walk. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible—perfect for giving your pup the attention and exercise they deserve! I’m available most days anytime. When walking dogs, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding leash preferences, walking pace, and any special needs. I bring water for longer walks, keep a close eye on the dog’s behavior, and stick to familiar or approved routes. If I’m picking up from a client’s home, I make sure the dog is secure before and after the walk, and I always check that everything is locked up properly when I leave.

About: Experienced dog sitter who has loved and cared for dogs my entire life! I’ve raised everything from small Shihtzu-Maltese mixes to large, energetic Golden Retrievers. I'm currently completing my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a certificate in animal welfare, so I have a deep understanding of animal health and behavior. I also spent a year volunteering at the SPCA, working with all sorts of sizes and temperaments, from fresh puppies and kittens to sweet senior rescues. Beyond dogs and cats, I have 12 years of horseback riding experience, which includes working with foals, and I also competed in 4-H dog obedience. I also have a lot of farm-sitting experience looking after cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand understanding of high-maintenance pet care. I have a large Golden Retriever of my own (who currently lives with my parents). He has a specialty diet and requires a ton of attention and exercise, so even though he isn't living with me at the moment, I know exactly how stressful it can be to leave your pets in the care of a stranger. Because of him, I am meticulous about routines, feeding schedules, and medication. I am also very kind, reliable, and a great person to work with, and I have references available if you need them. I am incredibly careful with my clients and their pets. I understand how important it is for them to be safe, and I promise to treat them exactly like my own while they are in my care. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure your pup feels completely safe and loved! I am currently a full-time student that lives very close to campus so I am able to return to the apartment every 2-3 hours to ensure your pet is getting frequent access to bathroom breaks, and is being played and snuggled with! I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings and would love to structure these around a furry friend! When Watching Pets in Your Home: My priority is keeping your pet safe and comfortable in the environment they know best. Because my student schedule allows me to leave campus frequently, I am able to check in on your home and pet at regular intervals throughout the day. I also ensure I am keeping your home clean and safe while visiting for drop-ins or walks, ensuring doors are locked, lights are off, and any garbage is where it belongs. When Watching Pets in My Home: Your pet will be treated like a member of the family in my apartment. Since I live right next to campus, your furry friend will never be left alone for long stretches of time. I ensure your pet is kept on a leash and is never put in harms way!

“Samantha was great we were so nervous leaving our kitties but she sent us many pictures and detailed updates everyday. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

About: I currently have a rescue puppy and previously had a rescue mutt that lived for 14 years. I’ve done multiple training classes with both pups and certified my previous dog as a therapy dog in multiple states. I’ve dog sat for many friends from puppy age to older. I’m good with dogs that are not friendly with cats or other dogs, those with anxiety. I get to know each dog and will support them in the way they need. Me and my husband I have a flexible work schedule for dogs boarding with us. Also, I’m happy to check in on animals and do dog walks at most times of the day. I’m here to support your dog or cat in any way needed. Feeding, cuddling, walking, changing litter ,… whatever services you need. I love my dog to pieces and will treat yours like my own.

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.
