“Chris is a great dog walker going above and beyond to make sure your dog has a good time. Very responsible, flexible and helpful. Definitely the best walker around!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and starting dog-walking for neighbours at a young age. Frequently entrusted to dog-sit for friends and family. Currently I own one cat. Currently I am available both AM and PM on weekdays and weekends. Right now I am working part-time remotely so my schedule is quite flexible! I live near a park that is great for daily walks with dogs. It has an off-leash area if that is allowed for the dog.

About: I've lived with cats and dogs for most part of my life and they are the big reason I got into pet care. Being a rescue dog owner myself, I understand the need for outdoorsy time for fur babies. I currently only provide dog walking as I live in an apartment, but can drop in as necessary. I'm available full time on weekends, and can work with a schedule on weekdays. I can board other cats from Friday to Monday, but can drop in on mornings or evenings on weekdays. I'll try my best to accommodate any requests you have. I don't do boarding for dogs, but can come to your place and take care of them. I can also do overnight for cats/dogs at your home, depending on the situations.

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life. Neighbours and friends have relied on me to dog sit many times! I love and care about all dogs! I’m currently taking a few courses in the Engineering program at Dalhousie but have a few days off and would love to spend my breaks outdoors walking dogs and helping others! I am great with dog walking and keeping the dog safe. My dog back in my hometown is pretty anxious so I have experience with dogs that may need a little extra help and attention when walking by other dogs, people, or busy streets.

About: I have been a pet owner for almost 10 years. The safety and well being of any animal is my top priority and I understand that every pet is different, allowing me to be easily adaptable to care for each pet. I am currently a university student with a rather flexible schedule, allowing me to pet sit and dog walk in my spare time. I am available on most nights and weekends for whatever is needed. I care very deeply for animals and their needs. I take care of pets by going on walks or running to release some energy. I also treat every persons home with respect and care, leaving things as I found them and keeping things clean.

“Kate is awesome! They are friendly, communicative, reliable, and very good with our pup. They helped with dog sitting when Petunia was a very young puppy and was super helpful in ensuring consistency in her care and training. They also take P on walks regularly and I’m grateful to have someone we can trust with our dog and in our home.”

About: I’m a university student who loves spending time with animals and has extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I/my family have owned several dogs, a cat, and a rabbit in my life. I’ve worked with dogs of many breeds and sizes, including Newfoundlands, French Bulldogs, Rottweilers, Labs, and mixed breeds, across a variety of ages, personalities, and energy levels. I can help train your puppy, administer your dog's medication, and adjust activities to meet their needs. I’m comfortable with everything from calm companionship to more active walks and playtime. I also have broad experience caring for cats, including fostering, and in-home care and drop-in visits for friends, neighbours, and family. I understand that every cat is different and I always adjust my care to suit their comfort level. In addition, I have experience with small animals such as rabbits, mice, and guinea pigs, and I’m familiar with their specific routines and care needs. Overall, I take pride in being attentive, patient, and dependable, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. I am currently taking online courses at Dalhousie and TAing a course. My schedule is fairly flexible in terms of times for walks and drop ins. I plan to fit pet care into my daily routine during my breaks from school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions and guidance closely to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I maintain a clean, calm environment and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs. In your home, I will respect your space and your pet’s established routine by making sure doors are secured, feeding instructions are followed exactly, and litter boxes or outdoor areas are kept clean. Pets will be supervised, given a safe and comfortable space, and never left unattended in situations that could put them at risk. Dogs will be on a leash unless secured in your fenced backyard and cats will be kept strictly indoors. I practice safe handling at all times, avoid known triggers, and adjust care for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. Clear communication is important to me, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Jaime was great with walking my dog! She answered promptly, was great at communicating including letting me know when she picked up her and feedback on the walk itself. Will be hiring her again!”

Kaitlyn S.

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.

“Emily really came through for us last minute when we had to go out of town unexpectedly. She took great care of our dog, Lennox, and kitty, Milo! Thanks again, Emily!”

“Annie is extremely reliable and professional. She is quick to response and always keeps in great communication before and during walks. I know my dog is in great hands with Annie.”

Carly L.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. Throughout high school I worked in a vet clinic responsible for caring for pets post-surgery, including boarding, walking, and cleaning them. I've taken care of pets of different kinds, sizes, and tempers. I work from home often, spending time with my own pup, Beau. We go out during the day and take longer walks in the morning and evening. I offer affection and care throughout the day and evening. I’m flexible to find a way to watch your pet that is most comfortable for them. I am open to getting to know clients first to establish trust.

“We just brought our 11 week old pup Ernie home 2 weeks ago and since we work outside of the house a couple days a week, we need a walker. Kat is so great with Ernie and he is always so excited to see her. She is punctual and responsible and I feel confident trusting her with Ernie when we’re not around. I love the reports and photos she provides too, so I feel totally in the loop!”

“Leah was great! Very professional and great communication throughout. Birdie is new to our family and Leah was very helpful and gave us tips on how to work on building Birdie’s confidence in a way that’s fun for her. Leah sent us a detailed report of their time together and sent lots of pictures where Birdie seemed very calm and happy. Birdie and I will definitely be working with Leah again!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and currently care for one dog and three cats of my own. My dog is over 8 years old and one of my cats is 17, so I’m very comfortable with senior pets, while my two younger cats keep me active and playful too. They are 1 years old and we got them when they were kittens. I’m used to daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving pets lots of attention and care. My dog doesn’t get along with other dogs, so I’m experienced with leash control and handling walks safely. I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I’m a first-year university student, so my main commitment is school. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I’m available on weekdays around classes, fully available on weekends, and during school breaks throughout the year. I’m reliable and happy to accommodate regular or occasional bookings. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets. I follow feeding schedules, respect house rules, keep environments clean, and pay close attention to behaviour and body language. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own space. I’m also comfortable with leash control and maintaining awareness on walks.
