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!

I have been walking and caring for dogs for years. I had my dogs for about ten years. He recently passed away, but I cared for and loved him. I have been walking and dog-sitting dogs for the past few years. I have experience training and dealing with friendly and not-so-lovely and have been involved with different breeds, from big to small breeds, in different environments. I have been taking care of dogs when the owners are not home as well as on vacation I get up every day and walk and feed my dog and make sure she is happy we play in the house for hours and go on long walks and new adventures i make sure they are loved and taken care of I attend to their every need from potty breaks to making sure they are played with and wagging their tail
About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years and been around dogs my whole life. I love dogs, especially large breed dogs, and cats. I am a work from home professional Mon-Fri. I am responsible and professional. I have several years of experience with large breed dogs as we have an Italian Mastiff and a Rottweiler of our own. I love hiking and exploring new areas and I have a vehicle that is great for dogs. I also have lots of experience with cats as I have been a cat owner for 25 years. My current cat is 20 and still living his best life! I understand the need to have someone who is able to come to your home to look after your pets when you are away, and I want to be able to provide that service for others. Dogs and cats are much happier and less stressed when they are able to stay in the comfort of their own home. I am conscientious and will always follow the owners' rules and boundaries they have in place with their pets as consistency is key. I am capable of administering medication of any kind. I am happy to work with the owner to find solutions that work for everyone. I am currently in a role where I work 8-4 from home, so I am able to be a little flexible with my location. If it works best for you and your pet, for me to work some of the time from your place I am able to accommodate that. I am home most evenings and would love spending the time interacting with your pets, if your pet is used to a daily walk, I am able to accommodate that, I also have a vehicle that is ideal for dogs. I am aware that every pet has their own unique routine and I am happy to work with owners to ensure that your pet's comfort and safety are top priority.
About: I am an experienced and reliable pet lover! I have been taking care of cars + dogs of all ages for many years, from walking energetic puppies to supporting senior cats with extra care. I’m great at matching each pets energy level and needs to fit their typical routine. I am very flexible with my schedule. I am a substitute teacher so often available on the days I am not teaching and after school hours! I want to make sure every pet is comfortable and safe at all times, especially in their own home! Safety and trust are a priority for me. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for a cat in your home, I always create a calm, secure environment to support their needs. I pay close attention to their behaviour, use secure leashes and harnesses, and stick to familiar routines. I also ensure their surroundings are safe and free from hazards, so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, reliable hands.
About: I have experience from looking after my own pets to watching my friends' and colleagues' dogs. I have walked, fed, played and looked after many pets such as dogs (examples: border collies, shih tzu, Shepards, etc.), cats, rabbits, rodents and leopard geckos. I personally have owned pets since I was around 7 years old starting with hamsters, and since then I have owned rats, fish, a rabbit, a dog and a leopard gecko. I have also had experience in volunteering at a local vet clinic. I just finished getting my master of biology degree and I am working as a research associate now. I have a flexible schedule meaning I am available daily in the morning, afternoon or evening to look after and tend to your pets. In both my home and my clients' homes, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, provide ample supervision, and maintain open communication with pet owners to address any concerns. Whether it's hosting pets in my own space or visiting them in their familiar environment, I strive to maintain a safe and nurturing atmosphere where pets feel relaxed and cared for.
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: Last year I had the pleasure of meeting many loveable dogs through Rover! Unfortunately I took a break due to an injury but am excited to be back! I have had the pleasure of being around dogs of all ages all my life. In 2023 my fiance and I welcomed our first (own) puppy to our little family who has quickly become the centre of our world. Our now 1.5year old boy is a well behaved and energetic pup who is eager to meet other dogs. I hope you give me the opportunity to spread the love to your critters! I do live a busy lifestyle, and currently am working rotational shift work. Unfortunately that means I’m not the best fit for a typical Monday-Friday. However I have the advantage of several consecutive days away from work in a row. If you have any specific dates you’re looking for a sitter, dog walking, or playdates with my golden please do not hesitate to reach out. I have a (non-fenced in) back yard located on a quiet street in Wolfville. We are located walking distance to many walking trails and parks.

Danielle R.
“If anyone is a dog-lover, it’s my neighbour Danielle! She is a great friend to both of my big dogs and has often asked if she could spend some time with them. As is the case with most people who are passionate about K-9’s, Danielle thrives on the companionship, loyalty, unconditional love and endless affectionate, that dogs are so well known for. On several occasions, Danielle has taken care of the older of my two golden retrievers in her home. Cayman always looks forward to spending time with Danielle. Danielle has also been keen to join me on walks with my two dogs and has been a great help to me. In the short time that she has lived in our neighborhood, I’m sure that Danielle has already gotten to know most of the dogs who live here as well. How many of us can say that?”
