Dog Walkers in Halifax

“Norma initiated a meet and greet w Toby and he was immediately comfortable w her. She asked questions to be fully prepared to give Toby the best experience. I enjoyed the Rover app report card where Norma listed the number of pees and poos, other info about the walk; as well as sent pics of Toby on the walk. A map of the walk route also provided. Great experience with Norma as well as the Rover app!”

About: I'm Sydney (the one with the long hair), I work as a team with my partner Mike to take care of your pets. Throughout our lives, we've cared for cats and dogs belonging to family members, roommates, and friends. We've gotten to know so many animals, each with their own unique personalities, and we'd love to meet yours too :) We're comfortable with cleaning your pet's space, feeding them, administering medication, and anything else that they need to keep them happy and healthy. We have open availability at the moment, and can easily accommodate brief check-ins with your pet or longer stays of multiple days without issue. Propose a time and date to us and let's discuss! We want your pet to have the best time possible during your absence, whether this involves relaxing with them or keeping them entertained. We like to learn a pet's temperament, likes, dislikes, and boundaries, then work from there — every pet is different and has different needs, which is important to take into account so that they receive everything they need while you're away! It's important to note that we don't have pets of our own, so if we are boarding your pet you'll need to drop off anything your pet needs at our apartment first (food, litter box, toys, etc.)

“I ended up never meeting Victoria but she was always courteous and quick to reply messages. Also made sure my dog had all she needed. Even when my dog made a mess in the house, Victoria was kind enough to organize and clean up. I would definitely recommend Victoria to whoever needs a dog-walker and I would be more than happy to have her take care of my dog in the future.”

“Experience with Ben was great. He is quite responsive with communication on Rover. He is friendly and obviously loves dogs as he has a few small cute ones of his own, and welcomed Toby with ease. Toby fit in well and had loads of fun. Ben also sent several pics and a video of their time together”

About: I’ve always had a special bond with dogs, and taking care of them genuinely brings me joy. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just relaxing together, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’ve looked after pups of all ages and sizes, and I always treat them like part of the family—with lots of love, attention, and care. You can trust that your dog will be in good hands with me, getting the same level of care I’d want for my own. I have a very flexible schedule and am usually available throughout the day, so I can easily fit in walks or pet care when you need it. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a long walk, I’m happy to make time for your pup! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide—so they feel right at home. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well-cared for. In your home, I respect your space and maintain a calm, tidy environment. In mine, your pup will have a cozy spot to relax, plenty of attention, and of course, lots of love and belly rubs!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—growing up with breeds big and small taught me early on how to understand their needs, personalities, and body language. I also worked at a doggy daycare for over 3 years, where I supervised group play, managed routines, and provided care for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Outside of that, I’ve done mobile visits and drop-ins, giving me well-rounded experience in both active play and calm, in-home care. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a slow senior, I’m confident handling it all with patience and love. I work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m available all day on weekends and Mondays for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. During the rest of the week, I’m available after 6pm for evening visits, walks, or snuggles. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find a schedule that works for both of us! During drop-in visits, sitting, and boarding I prioritize keeping your pup comfortable, safe, and engaged in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely and respect any training methods you use—whether that includes kennels, muzzles, or other tools. With a background in training and years of hands-on experience, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“Sydney is wonderful! She promptly responded when I was looking for help with my 4 year old golden retriever. She is responsible, caring, and skilled and did an overall fantastic job with my pup! I would, and will, definitely request for Sydney’s services again!!”

About: Ive grown up caring for animals my entire life: dogs, cats, and chickens! What makes me a great sitter is that I genuinely love animals and my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I am also an active person so your dog will always come home well-exercised after a walk with me! I work part time and can be pretty accommodating with your schedule. Mornings, afternoons or evenings - I am sure we can make something work :) In my home, my cats are my family and are treated as such. I make it a priority to play with them everyday and make sure that they have toys available to help stimulate them. In your home, I will prioritize yours and your pets boundaries by following all given instructions carefully and I will always be a transparent and timely communicator.

“Taylor consistently went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. Her reliability and trustworthiness gave us peace of mind, knowing Ollie was in good hands. With Taylor, you can be confident your pet will receive the love and exercise they need. I recommend Taylor as a dog walker.”

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!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—starting with my very first pet at age 6, and believe it or not, even a pet sheep! 🐑 From then on, caring for animals has just been part of who I am. I have experience with pets of all kinds, especially dogs and cats, and I’ve worked with both playful puppies and gentle seniors who need extra love and support. I’m great with administering medication, following detailed routines, and tuning into each pet’s unique needs and personality. What sets me apart? I genuinely love creating a comforting and joyful environment for pets when their humans are away. I treat your fur baby like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and belly rubs. 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy—it never feels like “work.” I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my visits around your pet’s usual routine to keep them feeling safe and secure. I’m also available for overnight stays and weekend bookings! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure the environment is calm, pet-friendly, and full of love. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine—I’ll keep things clean, secure, and as close to their usual day-to-day as possible to reduce any stress while you’re away. I pay close attention to doors, food safety, and anything that could be a potential hazard. If they’re staying with me, my home is cozy, quiet, and safe—perfect for naps, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I never leave pets unattended, and I always keep communication open with you through updates and cute photos so you know your pet is doing great! Building trust—with both you and your furry companion—is everything to me.

About: Hi! My name is Tamanna, a lifelong animal lover located in downtown Halifax. I have grown up with animals and truly believe the journey of life is so much happier with a pet by our side. I grew up surrounded by animals—dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs—and often found myself pet-sitting for friends long before I made it official! These days, I’m a proud cat mom to two wonderful rescue cats, Sophie and Simba, who completely rule my heart. Whether I’m hiding treats for cats to discover, playing fetch with dogs, or just enjoying a quiet cuddle session, spending time with animals is one of the things I love most. Pet care isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to read through my bio, and I look forward to meeting your furbaby! My job is entirely remote, so I am quite flexible during weekdays. I can easily pop in for a doggy walk or feed and play with the cats. I am also open during weekends if I have a week's notice. I’m unable to provide boarding for dogs due to my apartment restrictions, however, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. When house-sitting, I always take the time to understand your home’s rules and any boundaries you’ve set for your pet. Whether it’s where they’re allowed to go, how they’re fed, or daily rituals you’ve built together, I do my best to maintain that same structure. I also like to get a clear sense of their usual routine—meal times, treat schedules, walks, playtime, and even their favorite napping spots—so I can replicate that rhythm while you're away.

“We had a great first visit with Ross, and he is the perfect person for this type of work. Not everyone has the calm demeanour needed to handle a 65 lb excitable and happy dog with so much energy and power, but Ross managed it effortlessly.”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was so great with Sisqo and he completely adored her! 100/10 would recommend using her services to take care of your pets :)”
