Excellent care and communication. We requested a boarding weekend last minute after another sitter fell through and Emily and her family were so accommodating and helpful. We were able to come for a meet and greet first to make sure Buddy would be comfortable and interact well with her family. She sent lots of updates and pictures and we felt very safe leaving him with her and her family. 10/10 would return and recommend to anyone looking for quality pet care in the area.

Megan and Josh were amazing! We had never left Bella with anyone other than family before and weren’t sure how it would go but Megan and Josh made us comfortable right from the start even before our meet and greet which was great. They have a wonderful home and environment for doggies and their two dogs are delightfully adorable and chill. We got daily updates and photos to stay in touch and have peace of mind while we were away. And they were very accommodating with drop off and pick up timing. Highly recommend!!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they were away. I’m attentive, responsible, and always adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, calm companionship, or basic care, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe and happy. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for cats. I can easily adapt to their routines, including feeding times, playtime, and quiet companionship. I’m available during weekdays and weekends, and I always make sure each cat feels calm, safe, and well cared for. I prioritize calm, safe, and respectful care in the cat’s own home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, keep the environment clean (especially litter boxes and feeding areas), and respect each cat’s personality and boundaries. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel at ease.

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda. My dog has a tendency to do marking inside the house, and she handled the situation with so much patience, understanding, and care. She made sure he was always safe, comfortable, and truly happy during his stay. What I really appreciated was how knowledgeable she is, she even gave me helpful advice on how to better manage this behavior in the future. She and her partner are a very kind and experienced couple, and it truly shows in how they care for dogs. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to leave their dog and not have to worry at all while they are away. When I picked my dog up, he was actually missing her, which says everything about how well he was treated.

Our wee Fig just spent an amazing week with Carolina and her dog, Arthur, at their house. From the instant we met Carolina we were certain Fig was in for a week of being loved, receiving the highest standard of care, snuggles, walks and other cool adventures. While we were away, Carolina sent us lots of adorable pictures and updates about how Fig was doing. There wasn’t one moment during our time away that we worried about Fig’s happiness or health. Fig is a pup with some gastrointestinal issues and Carolina was a pro at administering her meds, and making sure Fig’s food was soaked in boiled water so it was perfectly “mushy”, just the way our vet said it needed to be (gross). We are grateful beyond words. We will book Carolina again and again. If we could giver her 20 stars, we would.

We really appreciate Audrey and her expertise with dogs. Her experience shows with how she managed our hyperactive duck tolling retriever, Hudson. She is communicative, gives us plenty of video and photo updates on Hudson, and collaborates with us when it comes to necessary situations. She takes our dog out for lots of activities (fetch, swimming, exploring), plus she has 2 dogs of her own so our dog was never bored! We feel relieved knowing Hudson is in great hands and someone is caring for him while we’re away for our medical appointments. We highly recommend Audrey’s services!

My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶

About: I have worked with pets for the past 10 years, both in volunteer work at a cat and dog shelter and working at a dog day care for 2 and a half years. During this time I’ve gained experience working with reactive pets, administering medications, walking dogs, and basic grooming. I’ve worked with kittens and puppies to senior cats and dogs. I am available for boarding any night of the week and can get most places easily on the bus. I am available any day and time for day sitting and walking services. I do not have any pets in my home so there will be no issue if your pet prefers to be alone. I understand the stress of leaving your pet with someone else and will follow any care instructions to the last detail to put both you and your pet at ease, either in my home or your.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and had 6 dogs at home, so caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. My wife is a veterinarian, which gives me extra knowledge and confidence in handling pets with care and attention. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, so I always make sure to provide not only walks and feeding, but also companionship, playtime, and lots of affection. Your pet will be treated like family. I work full-time from home, which means I’m around all day to care for pets and keep them company. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, with a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your dog will never be left alone for long, and I’ll make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and attention. I live in a calm home with my wife, our young child, and one sweet cat, Julieta. Pets in my care will have a safe, quiet space with plenty of love and supervision. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, and I’ll treat your dog like my own—keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable every day.

David is an awesome person. From dropping off Mojo till picking him up we were had a pleasant interaction. Mojo seemed very happy the whole time he spent with them. Constant updates and pictures about Mojo kept us at ease and confident that Mojo is in good hands. Definitely will be prefering David's boarding for Mojo in the future too.

About: Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a professional in healthcare and a lifelong lover of all animals. I have loads of experience taking care of and fostering dogs and cats, and recently joined Rover because I simply can’t get enough of being around them. I’ve shared my life with many animals including, a Cocker Spaniel, a Pomchi, and an Arabian Greyhound, and now a friendly tabby cat. I understand that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. :) I’m a friendly, active professional with flexibility in my schedule for walks or visits. Whether it’s a long stroll, playtime, or a cozy nap, your pup/cat will get the same care, attention, and love that I give my own pets. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m self-employed, which gives me flexible hours to care for pets. I usually need a few days notice for weekday visits, but I’m often available mornings, lunch hours, and evenings. This flexibility lets me give your cat or dog consistent attention, walks, and cuddles around your schedule. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and responsibility. I follow your instructions carefully, supervise pets at all times, and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. From secure feeding and water routines to safe play and monitoring, I prioritize their well-being while you’re away.

Victoria boarded our Skipper for a week plus. Victoria, her family, and two dogs provided an environment that allowed Skipper to quickly fit in and settle. They always included Skipper in all activities, inside and out. Victoria is a super communicator and always kept us connected with Skipper and all goings on. We highly recommend Victoria and would not hesitate to leave our Skipper with her again!

About: We have a 13 lbs Shih Tzu who gets along great with most dogs. He is well loved and we would treat your dog the same. I work 8-3 but am off during the summer/ weekdays and holidays. Your dog would have lots of outdoor time and would be well cared for. My dog isn’t crated most days but is able to be. I would prefer to crate both dogs until the 2 became use to each other.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by pups — especially poodles and mountain sheepdogs — so caring for dogs truly feels second nature to me. 🐾 I live in downtown Halifax, which means lots of fun walking routes, parks, and new smells to explore! I love going for early morning walks to start the day and peaceful evening strolls to wind down, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. I’m comfortable with different sizes and energy levels, from playful, high-energy dogs to calm, cuddly companions. Having grown up with larger breeds, I’m confident handling strong, active dogs, and I also adore the sweet, intelligent personalities of poodles. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just some cozy company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶💛 I currently work remote - Being able to do this gives me a lot of time to spend going on walks , training, playing with little furry guys. I do have one toy poodle teddy he is a male 6 years of age and neutered . He's well trained and behaved he has his walking - food - play schedule and great with other dogs.

Carolyn was quick to respond and kept us up to date with our dog Banjo the entire stay with pictures and videos. When we dropped Banjo off, he was welcomed in the backyard by their puppy Dory and Banjo was so happy he didn't even notice me leave. The fenced in yard was a huge bonus and they had all the supplies I had forgotten like an extra water dish! Thank you again, highly recommended.
