“Niko had a blast and Margaret was fantastic. Very understanding (Niko can be a lot of energy to deal with and is a big pup). Pictures the whole time we were gone, and very convenient with drop offs and pick ups. Will absolutely do again!”

“Jiaxin was amazing bcoz she didn't mind me checking on my cat couple of times a day as she was sending me pics and videos of Gracie eating and playing and that made me feel really relaxed..”

“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 💗🐶”

“Deanna felt like the right fit from the beginning. She has a genuine love for your fur baby. I never once worried and I know Milo won’t want to leave when we go to pick him up! Highly recommend Deanna.”

“We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.”

“10/10 - Jennifer and Craig were wonderful with my Boxer. They gave him constant love and attention and took him out for multiple walks out in the countryside. They sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout his stay to show me how much fun he was having with them and their own dogs. I will definitely look into having Jennifer and Craig look after my boy Baxter again in the future.”

“Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them again.”

“We didn't know that when we left our dog with Audrey, he would be having his own adventures with her and her dogs. We were so happy we chose Audrey and were able to vacation worry free. We received regular updates, photos and even a few videos. Audrey's space was perfect for our dog who loves to be outdoors.”

“Sonya and her family took great care of my dog Stevie over 4 days, and provided lots of updates! Stevie looked right at home and was so sad and protesting when she had to leave!! I would recommend her services to all!”

About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. *Please note* I am unavailable to care for your pet during the day on weekdays. Evenings and weekends I am free. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.
“Luna had a wonderful time staying with Victoria's family and their two dogs. I think she was a little sad to go home! We enjoyed receiving the pictures and updates on our trip. Would happily recommend Victoria as a great sitter.”

“Sarah treated Bennett as her own pup. I am so grateful to her for caring for my baby with so much love. She kept me updated with pictures and videos each day. I will absolutely rebook with Sarah.”

“very kind and informative, gave me updates on my two kitties that stayed with her while i was in the process of moving - and was super flexible on drop off and pickup times for me with the chaos of an unknown schedule!”

Halifax pet parents share their Rover experiences
Colin did an amazing job with Duke and Daisy! They were so happy and comfortable with him that they were sad to leave. We got daily updates and photos. Colin took excellent care of a cut on one of their paws and even cooked a fresh meal for them daily. I highly recommend him to anyone!

Laura took excellent care of my cat, Regal, during her boarding. Throughout the entire stay, Laura was caring, attentive, and professional. She kept me updated regularly, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Regal was very happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you, Laura, for taking such wonderful care of Regal! 🐱❤️

Layla was great! She was very responsive when I reached out to her. And my dog clearly liked her - I stopped by to walk him a few times and he was so excited to see her when I dropped him off again. Thank you for taking such good care of Blue! Will definitely be in touch when I need help again :)

Sarah took amazing care of my dog and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was kind, responsible, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, and she kept everything stress-free and easy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter☺️

Shawna & Chris were amazing!! They took great care of our 2 pups and the updates they sent every day were awesome and just what we needed while we were away from our fur babies. We would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future.

It was the first time I ever left my cat with someone and I was super nervous about it but Carly was amazing! She is super friendly and the communication was great and super fast and she made me feel a lot better about having someone stay with my cat! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

This was our first time boarding our cat and Brit made us feel completely at ease! She sent pictures daily and our cat had a blast hanging out with her cats. Brit took great care of our fur baby and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will book her in the future :)
