Dog Sitting Dartmouth

About: I've always loved animals, especially dogs! I recently moved out of my family home which means I no longer live with with my fabulous family pup Louie. Although I still go back home to hang with Lou, I am missing all of the puppy time I used to have. I'm currently working full time but with a very flexible schedule so I have lots of availability to play with the pups! I can be available for afternoon and evening walks. House sitting is dependent upon the week! My Apartment is unfortunately not dog friendly which is one of the reasons why I would love to look after your pups for you in your own home!

“Eliza was fantastic, took care of my cat while I was away for 3 weeks. Great follow up with photos and I could see that my cat loved her.”

About: My name is Emma C. and I am a 32 year old woman living in Halifax, Nova Scotia and am the sole operator of Homeward Hounds Dog Boarding. I work from home in the North End of Halifax so am flexible for visits/walks, etc., and have a fenced in backyard. I also have a car so we can go on adventures if that’s something your pooch enjoys! I grew up constantly surrounded by animals - in fact I can't remember a time in my life where I wasn't. I am a true animal lover, have experience fostering dogs and would absolutely love to walk, dog sit, or just hangout with your furry best friend! I am a caring individual and pride myself on my ability to give whatever task I take on my all. If you choose to have me hang with your pooch I guarantee you won't be disappointed :) I work from home and have a flexible schedule so your dog will rarely be alone during the day - apart from the occasional errand run! I have a fenced in yard and offer an open environment for dog care. I also encourage furniture naps if that’s something your dog enjoys!

About: I work from home so I'll be able to stay with the cats 24/7. I've been curious about cats since my childhood. I've rescued kittens and taken them over to animal shelters. I work full-time from my home. I can stay with the pets 24/7. In case of high-energy pets, I have toys to keep them entertained and engaged. my home is cat-proofed. I have extra wet food and dry food. My home is quiet and I have cozy hiding spots for your cat until they get settled in.

“I was away for a couple of weeks and needed someone to help taking care of my cat. Jesalah is so great with him. Communication was clear and prompt. Definitely recommend her service!”

About: I am a reliable sitter that has cared for many breeds of dogs. Animals have always been my passion and I love to lend a helping hand. I also have a sweet golden of my own and everyday spent with her is a joy. I am living in Middleton during the week for work but would love to look after your furry friends on weekends so you can get out and enjoy. I have a friendly golden who loves other dogs so if you want some socializing for your dog she is a perfect playmate. Can walk your dogs alone or with my golden. I live in a house with a large fully fenced in backyard off a dead end quiet street. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly and loves all dogs so it would be fun if your pet is looking for a companion to play with. If you prefer your dog to be cared for alone, that is also not a problem.

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.

“Emily did an amazing job with drop-in visits for our two cats while we were out of town for a week. Emily provided great updates at every visit and was even able to get our shy cat to warm up! Highly recommend.”

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: I’ve had dogs all my life growing up and most recently been a cat mom over the last 5 years, currently have one cat but used to have 3!! I work casually as a registered nurse and have a very inconsistent schedule of shifts and would love to help take of some adorable pets on my days off! Ensuring the safety of your pets in your home is crucial!! I will always make sure they are comfortable with me and will take great care of them.

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.

“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've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family, from small doggos to bigger doggos. I love saying hi and playing with doggos, when I see them. I'm currently working full time, Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm. I'm open to watching and walking your furry buddies from 5pm-9:30pm. Saturdays anytime. Please reach out if I intrested! I'm open to walks, long or short. In house watches for cats, dogs, and maybe other pets, shoot me a text! I'll make sure your babies are safe.

About: I have my own pup who is now 7 years old. She's a sweety but very anxious so I know how to manage some tricky behaviours I am currently working casually so I have a flexible schedule to hangout with your fur baby. I am happy to visit and walk morning, afternoon and evening! I will always make sure to keep the gates locked if I'm in the backyard and your dog on a leash when out on a walk. Their safety is my top priority.

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!

About: From a young age I’ve always had a passion for animals and providing proper care. From dogs to hamsters and others in between. At my family home I’ve taken care of upwards of 9 pets. I’ve also babysat overnight my boyfriends two shih tzus. I’ve been a sitter on Rover in Wolfville for a year now, but I moved back to my hometown. I just started the veterinary technician program at the SPCA which is 8:30-3:30 Monday-Thursday. If that works with your schedule then I’m more than happy to watch your fur babies in your home Unfortunately I can not offer at home boarding as I live at home with 3 cats. I’m willing to come to your home to do overnight stays and I have a car as well to take your dog(s) for drives to parks/lakes.

“Gina looked after my tabby cat with recurring outdoor visits. I am very pleased with her service and recommend her service for your little furry friends. She is very friendly, great to communicate with and very responsive. Also, she made our bookings and schedule very flexible and easy to accomodate our needs. Thanks Gina for your service.”

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.
