Jasper loves his new friend! From the first time he met Lori he was a happy boy. So grateful that Lori is willing to hang out with our sweet gentle giant. Great communication and loads of pictures. He was still ready for a snooze even after we arrived home.

Dana is great! She took good care of my cats while I was away and sent detailed updates with photos. I was very thankful she was able to take on my last minute request and that I could enjoy my vacation and know my cats were taken care of!

Kate visited my two cats for a long weekend and was great with them. Kate was responsive, flexible and attentive to both cats needs, including giving medication. I don’t feel so guilty leaving town for the weekend knowing I can just ask Kate to stop by.

About: I absolutely adore dogs and have always grown up with dogs. My family currently has a 4-year-old English Springer Spaniel whom I helped train during the puppy stage. Back in BC, I loved going on hikes, walks, and swims with my dog. Now, I want to bring some of that love and playful energy over here to Halifax. I am currently working part-time as a researcher at Dalhousie, so my availability is flexible to accommodate your needs as best as possible. Being part-time also allows me to care for your pet during more extended stays or if your dog requires longer walks. I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment located near local parks and green spaces. I also have access to a car so that I can take your dog to a variety of locations. It is a mostly quiet area with sunlight and fresh air, ensuring the place stays cool during the summer months.

I am ready to listen and give your pet the attention and care they need! I am a full time Canada post employee and can fit pet sitting into my schedule. Dog needs a walk through the week? I got you! I cannot host dogs in my apartment as pets are sadly not allowed. I can travel to meet you and your pets needs! I live near point pleasant park and can bring your pooch over for a good run.

About: If you need an alternative to daycare and dog parks, where your dog can get all the attention and care that they need you have found the right place! I am open to boarding well behaved, smaller dogs. My yard is fully fenced. My prices are firm based on time away from my life, gas, groceries and other expenses. Rest assured that I will make sure your pets gets plenty of care just as I do with my own pups! Every pet deserves the best care and I can cater to their specific needs. Pet safety is my main priority. I won’t leave dogs unattended to roam without a fence. I can take dogs off leash for walks within reason.

About: I'm here to give your furry family the care they deserve, especially while you’re away which can be stressful for both sides. I grew up with dogs so am familiar with their needs and have cared for a smattering of random creatures like a turtle, hamster, and even a parrot. Since I was 9 years old, neighbours trusted me to visit their homes and care for their pets while they were out traveling. I am also happy to send update photos of their life while you're gone! Most of my exposure to pets is within the 2yr to senior age range so puppy training is not in my skillset. As for meds, I have experience with giving pills and medicated ear drops to both dogs and cats. While I’m not a needle expert, I follow instructions and take pet healthcare needs seriously; I insist on having a thorough tutorial before you leave your pet in my care. I work from home so can be flexible with availability, although I'm unable to host at this time. As for your pet's routines: don't worry, I’ve got timing down to an art. My phone alarms are practically my life force, so you can trust I won’t miss a feeding time, potty break, or belly rub session. Your pet is in safe, reliable hands. I believe in meeting pets where they are.🐶For a dog, I’ll bring the energy and playtime. For a cat?😽 I understand they might just want to be left to contemplate life while perched on top of the fridge because....boundaries. Rest easy that I’ll get to know your pet’s unique personality and tailor my approach, because I'm the guest in their space!

Loren S took care of two adult German Shepherd dogs for us which we had rescued only a week before. Normally, we would never leave such recently rescued dogs, but we had to, and we had confidence in Loren. Loren took care of both the male and the female, managed medications and their care through a heat wave. Loren also took care of and did the meds for our very elderly cat who needed to be kept separated from the rescue dogs. Upon our return after 10 days, all three animals were relaxed and clearly very much enjoying the attention and company of their caregiver. It was not an easy assignment and Loren really met the challenge. We highly recommend Loren. Christine and Joe F
