Pet Boarding Halifax

About: Experienced dog sitter who has loved and cared for dogs my entire life! I’ve raised everything from small Shihtzu-Maltese mixes to large, energetic Golden Retrievers. I'm currently completing my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a certificate in animal welfare, so I have a deep understanding of animal health and behavior. I also spent a year volunteering at the SPCA, working with all sorts of sizes and temperaments, from fresh puppies and kittens to sweet senior rescues. Beyond dogs and cats, I have 12 years of horseback riding experience, which includes working with foals, and I also competed in 4-H dog obedience. I also have a lot of farm-sitting experience looking after cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand understanding of high-maintenance pet care. I have a large Golden Retriever of my own (who currently lives with my parents). He has a specialty diet and requires a ton of attention and exercise, so even though he isn't living with me at the moment, I know exactly how stressful it can be to leave your pets in the care of a stranger. Because of him, I am meticulous about routines, feeding schedules, and medication. I am also very kind, reliable, and a great person to work with, and I have references available if you need them. I am incredibly careful with my clients and their pets. I understand how important it is for them to be safe, and I promise to treat them exactly like my own while they are in my care. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure your pup feels completely safe and loved! I am currently a full-time student that lives very close to campus so I am able to return to the apartment every 2-3 hours to ensure your pet is getting frequent access to bathroom breaks, and is being played and snuggled with! I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings and would love to structure these around a furry friend! When Watching Pets in Your Home: My priority is keeping your pet safe and comfortable in the environment they know best. Because my student schedule allows me to leave campus frequently, I am able to check in on your home and pet at regular intervals throughout the day. I also ensure I am keeping your home clean and safe while visiting for drop-ins or walks, ensuring doors are locked, lights are off, and any garbage is where it belongs. When Watching Pets in My Home: Your pet will be treated like a member of the family in my apartment. Since I live right next to campus, your furry friend will never be left alone for long stretches of time. I ensure your pet is kept on a leash and is never put in harms way!

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly and her dog. We love our doggo Elliot so very much and unfortunately live far from family and rarely have anyone who can look after our guy. As any pet owner knows, it can be hard to put your trust in someone else to care for your beloved pet but Kim and Henson were the perfect companions to Elliot for our week and a half away. You can tell by Kim’s language and the questions she asks that she is a very experience pet parent who is extremely thoughtful about the wellbeing of your creature. Elliot went on amazing adventures and I won’t be surprised if he’s come home to us with a few of Henson’s wonderful traits. I will absolutely choose Kim again for future stays and hope to see her again soon.”

About: I am a reliable sitter that has cared for many breeds of dogs. Animals have always been my passion and I love to lend a helping hand. I also have a sweet golden of my own and everyday spent with her is a joy. I am living in Middleton during the week for work but would love to look after your furry friends on weekends so you can get out and enjoy. I have a friendly golden who loves other dogs so if you want some socializing for your dog she is a perfect playmate. Can walk your dogs alone or with my golden. I live in a house with a large fully fenced in backyard off a dead end quiet street. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly and loves all dogs so it would be fun if your pet is looking for a companion to play with. If you prefer your dog to be cared for alone, that is also not a problem.

“Jannie and her husband took excellent care of my boxer pup, Hank! He got to play with lots of dogs and she even trimmed his nails :) I would definitely book with them again!”

About: My wife and I have been lucky enough to have dogs as part of our families since we were little, and we couldn’t imagine life without them! What started as pet-sitting for friends gradually grew through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy pet owners. We love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and paying attention to the little details that help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. We also make sure to keep you updated, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. We genuinely love what we do and hope to continue caring for as many wonderful dogs as we can! Over time, we’ve had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of breeds, including Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkies, Old English Sheepdogs, Labradoodles, Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Huskies, Dalmatians, Chow Chows, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus, West Highland White Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Pugs, and many more. And our list keeps growing! Every dog is different, and we love making each one feel like part of our family. I have a pretty flexible job at the moment so I can always find spaces to provide the best care and quality and count on my wife's support for anything necessary. I adhere to your dog's schedule as much as possible and provide lots of pets, playtime and attention, and medicine if needed. I constantly send you pictures, videos and updates to keep you always notified about your best friend's wellbeing.

About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!

“Alexx did an amazing job of looking after my dog while I was on vacation. Great communication, lots of care, I highly recommend Alexx to look after anyone's dog.”

“Niambh was fantastic. She was easy to communicate with, sent photos, kept me updated. Wally was happy and well cared for. Would recommend Niambh to look after your dog anytime.”

“Cookie had a great weekend with Emma! Emma is responsible, confident, kind, asks all the right questions, responds quickly to inquiries and subsequent messages and kept in touch about how their days were going. Cookie got lots of exercise and a play in the waves at the beach, so she was good and tired when she came home. I truly believe she misses her new pal and will be happy to see Emma again for another pet-sitting weekend. We highly recommend Emma!”

Sarah H.

“I was worried about leaving my senior cat with anyone as she had not stayed anywhere before. You was excellent at sending updates with pictures and videos twice per day and I soon was not worried about my cat. It is obvious she is an animal lover and I will use her service again when I travel. I received updates on her eating and behaviour which is what I wanted!”

Gloria O.

“Amanda and her family were amazing, Genevieve was so happy to stay there and so well cared for during her stay. We recommend Amanda to anyone looking for the best care for their fur babies.”

I've been walking dogs and sitting for cats for years now, so I've seen it all: the zoomies, the guilt-trip stares, the dramatic sighs when dinner is two minutes late. Dogs get walks matched to their vibe. Cats get the respect they clearly believe they're owed 🐈. Meds, anxiety, quirky habits — I've handled it all and I'm not easily rattled. Basically: your pet gets a sitter who has tonnes of experience and will love them more than most. ♥️ I currently work 730-5pm schedule,Monday through Thursday. I can be free most evening and weekends to help you with your fur baby. I do drive and can take them to parks and swim spots. Same routine, same rules, same love they'd get from you. I follow your instructions to the letter, send photo updates, and pay close attention to how your pet is really doing.

“I highly recommend Sarah. She took excellent care of my puppy for a week. She followed his schedule and provided me with updates! I will use here whenever I travel!”

Rachel B.

“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.”

“Lara was great with our little guy. She was friendly and courteous, replied quickly, sent regular updates with photos, and definitely went the extra mile. We will certainly use her again and happily recommend her to others,”

“Amanda is an exceptional boarding host who provides a warm, loving home away from home. Her place is in a tidy, quiet neighbourhood, and her beautifully maintained front and back yards are wonderful spaces for dogs to play and enjoy themselves. What truly sets Amanda apart is the time, attention, and affection she gives to the pets in her care. She is incredibly patient and understands how to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Her commitment to cleanliness and their well-being is evident in everything she does. Knowing Leo was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and loving sitter!”
