About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. My calm and nurturing approach helps pets feel comfortable and safe, making me more than just a sitter—I’m a trusted companion for your furry family members. I am a golf professional so between November and April, I have more time to myself and work sparingly. Pet sitting is perfect for me and for you and your pet(s)! We have an animal friendly home that is a stones throw away from a park and marsh with plenty of space for your pet to run and roam and go for regular walks. There is a sizable sofa, a chair, bed all for them, too. Wooden floors so any messes aren't as troublesome as it would be on carpet.
About: I have had a pet ever since I can remember, I see them as a family member not just a pet. I have had dogs from the terrible puppy stage to the chill adulthood stage. I love all shapes and sizes, thick and thin hair! I’m also aware of allergies/conditions that any pet would have. I am currently working full time at a car dealerships. Monday - Friday 9am -5:30pm and Saturdays (9am -3pm) I do have Wednesday’s and Sunday’s off every week. I have a car for any reason that may occur. I am not allowed to have pets at my house currently but I have available to stay at your house to look after them if you need.
“Megan was so great with my two cats. It was obvious that they loved spending time with her. Megan sent me pictures everyday and was excellent in her communication. I have already booked her again.”
About: Very comfortable with medication administration and any special needs your dog or puppy may need. Nurse by profession with a great love for all animals. I’m available from 5pm Friday until Monday morning 8am full care. If you have other needs through the week please message to discuss - here to help in any way with your pet care needs. My golden retriever Wilson both has free rein of the home and comfortable in his kennel. I would prefer kennel trained but if well mannered - fine to have free in the house.
About: I have owned my own dogs that I have groomed myself and taken care of for years. When fostering dogs, I 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 backyard that’s not fenced in with no other pets. I have a couch that we allow the animals to sit on, as well as my bed. Can crate your dogs if needed. Always walk dogs on leash.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kentville
Emma was absolutely fantastic! Both my cats are very timid of new people but came a liking to Emma quite fast! My one cat also doesn’t normally play and she got him to play which i was very pleased with. Came over twice for quick visits and I came back knowing my cats were well taking care of. Would recommend!
