House Sitting in Kentville

“Hannah did a lovely job with Henri. Great communication, before during and after her stay. Henri had a great time with her and she treated my house as her own. I can home to a happy, healthy pup!”

About: I've grown up with animals and have taken care of friend and family pets over the course of my life (am now in my 40s). And I've been taking care of cats and dogs professionally for a few years now, from young to old, healthy to less healthy. I'm very good at bonding with the animals, adjusting to their own pace and ways of being and so making them feel at ease. I work from home, so I'm around the animals a lot. Being a freelancer, I make my own schedule and this flexibility makes it easy to attend to the pets' needs. I'm also an early riser so it's no problem to take care of them early on in the day. I only offer house-sitting so I'll be in your home and will work with that configuration as per your instructions to ensure the pet's safety and well-being.

About: I am a life-long animal lover who grew up with dogs. Now, I work full-time in healthcare so I can’t have a pet of my own. My schedule is highly flexible and variable though, letting me offer services when others can’t. I’m also very comfortable with complex care needs. I like keeping busy and am happy to spend as much time as needed on exercise, enrichment/training and grooming, so long as your pets are agreeable. I require on site parking for house sitting please. I work full-time in healthcare so I can’t have a pet of my own. My schedule is highly variable from week to week and month to month, letting me offer services when others can’t. I’m often available on a last minute basis as well, just ask!! I like to keep busy so your pet won’t get too much time to be sad about your absence. I look forward to a brief phone chat or a few emails back and forth to get to know what your pet’s routine and habits are to minimize the disruption of having their favourite person away and a weird stranger in their home.

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and needs, I offer dependable and loving pet care you can trust. Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or administering medications, I treat every dog like family- because they are. As the go-to sitter in my own family and community, I focus on each dog's unique needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time but have time in the mornings, evenings and on weekends to take care of your animals! If there is something needed during the week day I can stop by for a drop-in visit as my work schedule can be flexible. I adore all pets and look forward to building a bond with them! I am happy to do whatever your pet loves to do most! I will maintain all routines with your pets and keep you up to date with photos and messages so that you know that your pet is being well taken care of!

About: I love to cuddle dogs and be active with them, taking them on long walks as often as possible. I can adjust my activity level to their needs! I can work my remote job from anywhere, so I have ultimate flexibility during the day and night for cuddles and outside time as needed. I am happy to follow the guidelines your pet needs, and to care for them according to their best interest. Whether they are crated or not, have special dietary requirements, or like to practice their tricks, I'm ready for it!

“We made a last minute decision to leave our pup Ragnar at home for a day while we were away. Emma agreed to house sit on a short notice. She did a great job taking care of our pup. She took him to the Ravine and the dog park to make sure he was all tired out. He was a happy puppy with her and enjoyed being with her. She is great with big breed dogs and I would definitely recommend Emma to take real good care of anyone’s puppy.”

“Rebooked with Danielle so this was the 2nd that she watched our dogs. She is reliable, super kind and provided updates about the dogs throughout the day. Will definitely rebook again next time we go away”

About: I have years of experience caring for pets, from in-home pet sitting to working in veterinary hospitals. In high school, I regularly dog-sat a Doberman for my teacher, providing in-home care for up to a week at a time. I also cat-sat for multiple families over several years. Professionally, I worked as a kennel staff member, ensuring pets were well cared for, and later as a client advocate at a veterinary hospital, giving me even more knowledge of pet health and behavior. Beyond my work experience, I have personally raised two puppies and currently have three cats, including a 15-year-old senior cat whose health I’ve carefully maintained over the years. I understand the unique needs of both young and senior pets. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to have a reliable, caring sitter, and I’d love to care for your pets as if they were my own! I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. My job is primarily admin work, which allows me to be very adaptable with my schedule. I can take my laptop with me to a client’s home, so I’m able to work from there and keep an eye on the pets while still handling my responsibilities. I have a 40-minute lunch break, during which I can take a dog on a walk or let them outside for potty breaks. I also have the flexibility to take frequent breaks during the day to make sure pets are well cared for. Overall, I’m available every day of the week and can adjust my schedule to accommodate the pets’ needs. I’m very flexible and adaptable when it comes to caring for pets in their home. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether it’s taking dogs outside as frequently as they need, sticking to strict feeding schedules, or ensuring that litter boxes are cleaned regularly. I’m also comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats if needed. I’m committed to providing the best care possible and can adjust to whatever the pet requires to ensure they are happy and well-cared for while their owner is away.

“Jillian took amazing care of our cats while we were away, it was such a relief to leave home and not have to worry about them! She went above and beyond taking care of the cats and my plants, I highly recommend this sitter and will definitely book her again.”

“Hannah was awesome with my two giant breed dogs. They tend to be nervous when my spouse and I are gone, but we knew they were being well looked after and loved from the moment Hannah met us for the meet and greet. Hannah sent lots of pictures and videos and daily updates with things like walks, bathroom regularities, moods & experiences while in the neighborhood. She made us feel so comfortable when leaving our boys. Additionally, Hannah noticed that our neighbours had their garbage out so took it upon herself to put our garbage out too, as well as changing out sheets for us and keeping our house immaculately clean. Couldn’t ask for someone better to look after Finn and Frank and our home.”

About: Hello there! :) I'm a freelance photographer who works from home, living in my spacious apartment with my partner and roommate. I am a huge dog and animal lover, my parents have two beautiful huskies (aka my siblings) and for two years I lived with my cousin and I helped take care of her adorable golden retriever while she was working as a nurse. I would take the dog out for walks a few times a day, always including one long walk to the park or hike, to make sure he had plenty of time to run around and play fetch or go for a swim. I would also practice his commands with him, to make sure that I was reinforcing what my cousin was working on with him at the time. They've since moved away, so I really miss having a dog around! Outdoor-time and exercise is very important to me so I can take your pets for lots of walks and make sure to give them even more attention and playtime while we're at home. We have a cat, Buttons, who we adopted recently. She can be grumpy so we keep her completely separated from the dogs that we have staying with us. Looking forward to meeting you!! I currently work as a photographer, so I'm mostly at home, working and editing photos with a couple of photoshoots throughout the week. I have a very flexible schedule, and plently of time for dog walk breaks throughout the day! I live with my partner and lovely roommate in a spacious apartment with a huge rooftop patio, just a two minute walk away from a public park, and a dog park. I will always respect your rules if I am a guest in your home.

“Val was absolutely wonderful with our 2 labs! She is conscientious and caring. Our buddies warmed up to her quickly. We won't hesitate to have her stay overnight in our home again. She really gave us the peace of mind needed for our short getaway.”

About: Since I was a kid, I always had a lot of pets and grew up with them. My family did teach me how to love pets as we love people and appreciate good time with our pets. I have great experience living with dogs, mainly with Border Collies like my two babies that I had to leave on my family to come to Vancouver. Taking care of my pets since they were puppies, made me study positive dog training methods to learn how to understand them and how they understand us. In my opinion, they need to know how we love them in their languages, that's the minimum fair ♥️ I’m currently remote studying, so I have a lot of time to take care and spend with your pet! Once my studies has flexible schedules. First I will love to create the most trusty and respectfuly relationship with your pets and you. It affects how your pets will be comfortable with me and how we can increase the health care of them, as your tranquility that they are in good company. Depending on which service, I would like to know how you pet is used to their routine and respect it during my services.

About: I have owned my own dogs that I have groomed myself and taken care of for years. When fostering dogs, we are required to maintain their grooming and other health needs. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I work shift work as a youth care worker. I have a lot of time during the daytime to check in on, walk, and feed your dogs as needs require. I have a fenced in backyard with no other pets. We have 2 couches that we all the dogs to sit on, as well as my bed. Can crate your dogs if needed. Always walk dogs on leash.
