About: Looking for Furry Company in My Free Time I’ve grown up with pets and I’m always happiest when I’m around animals. Now that I have some free time, I’d love to hang out with your pets and give them the attention they deserve while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks or just chilling together, I’m here to keep your furry friends company. Why I’m a great fit for your pet: Lifelong Pet Lover: Growing up with pets has taught me a lot about understanding and caring for animals. Casual, Low-Key Fun : I’m not in this for the money—just a chance to enjoy some quality time with your pet while you’re away. Tailored Attention: Every pet has their own vibe, and I’ll mak sure to spend time doing what they love most. I work full-time during the week, but my sister is at home all the time and I’m available every morning o spend time with your pet. I also have flexibility on weekends and holidays, so I can offer extra care and attention when you need it most. Whether i’s a morning walk or some chill time, I’m here to keep your furry friend company! Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I follow teir routine and keep everything secure. In my home, I offer a pet-friendly space where they can relax and play. Trust is key, and I enure your pet feels safe and cared for at all times.

About: I have experience baby sitting my friend’s cat while she is away. I also have experience taking care of animals in our family. I have a cat (male tabby/white cat) named Jensen. My mom and sister have two dogs named Luski and Wowkwis (Mi’kmaq for bread and Fox). My dad has three dogs - Buddy and Chooch (both French bull dogs) and Mia (a terrier mix). Our pets are our pride and joy! I work full time but I am available on Mondays and Fridays during the day when I work from home. I am free Tuesday-Thursday in the evenings after 430. I am also free anytime on the weekends (Friday to Sunday)! Sorry, I will not be offering boarding services at this time because my cat at home will be under stress if I bring in other animals.

About: I grew up on a BC farm with cats and dogs, sometimes bunnies. I have experience looking after pets in homes while folks are away. I am quite good at gaining trust from pets, learning their needs from parents, and have experience administering medication and other special diets. I enjoy spending time with pets and especially walking / hiking. I am new to Halifax and Nova Scotia, so I'm currently working on finding permanent work. I have lots of time to walk dogs, check in on other household pets, and generally share care, time and play with them. Pets help me with depression and improve my wellbeing. I am respectful of others space, home, and follow direction well. It is my intention to support you in your pet care needs. I like to leave space the same as I enter or better. Its about caring for your pet and you. I would expect nothing less from any other care provider. We can work together to find what feels right for you!

About: I've been around animals my whole life, and I love taking dogs for walks. In my free time, I also enjoy horseback riding. I've even babysat a friend's hamster. Going for walks and enjoying the outdoors is a passion of mine. I'm looking for extra income in addition to my job, so I'm offering dog-walking services during my free time throughout the week. I'll do my best to accommodate your needs, whether it's walking your dog around your neighborhood or taking them to a nearby dog park if required. I have my own transportation, so I'm flexible when it comes to your location. I'm currently working full-time, and my schedule varies slightly from week to week. Feel free to check my availability. That being said, if there's a day that's not listed, please don't hesitate to ask, as things could change! When dog walking, my primary focus is on the well-being and happiness of the dog. I start by ensuring the dog is securely leashed and comfortable with their equipment. During the walk, I choose a safe route, preferably the one that the dog knows, taking into account the dog's pace and preferences. I pay close attention to their body language, allowing for breaks when needed. Socialization with other dogs and people is carefully managed, and I always clean up after them. Clear communication with the dog owner is a priority, providing updates on the walk's progress. My goal is to provide a enjoyable and safe experience for the dog, promoting their physical and mental health.

About: Hi, I’m Zakia, an undergraduate student at Dalhousie University ! I’m a passionate animal lover based in Halifax, living in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with my partner — who’s just as obsessed with animals as I am. Together, we love creating a safe, loving, and playful environment for any furry guest that comes through our door. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities — from gentle giants like Rottweilers to tiny, sassy Shih Tzus and energetic puppies. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m always happy to adjust to their unique needs, routines, and quirks.
