Doggy Day Care Lower Sackville

“Jessica took such great care of our pup Phoebe! We knew she was in very good hands and she was happy and tired when we picked her up at the end of the day.”

“Very caring and friendly couple in a clean and welcoming home. They have a sweet little dog that got along great with my pup. They responded quickly to my request and gave updates while he was there. I felt completely comfortable with my dog at their home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again!”

“We were very nervous about leaving our 11 week old puppy for the 1st time with a sitter. I am so happy that we found Sara, she was great with our pup, and we left there feeling very secure with our choice. She sent us an update picture and little note that Maddie had done her business had a drink and was having a great time finding sticks in her garden. Maddie was a happy puppy when we picked her up. I would not hesitate to book with Sara again.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. My last two dogs were rescues that moved three countries with me and were my world. I cared for them from puppies through their golden years. Experienced at dog walking and giving medication and a safe place for your pet to sleep. Have taken care of others dogs in my home while their owners are away as dogs deserve a vacation too, filled with walks in the park to play with other dogs, tail wags, and snuggles at home. From October I shall be working a hybrid job with 3 days in the office and two at home. Depending on the care you are looking for, your dog(s) will be walked in the morning and the evening and for those days I am working at home, there will be extra playtime midday. If you are looking for a long weekend away, I am happy to discuss shifting my schedule (given enough notice) to make sure that a long weekend away works for both you and your pet(s). I provide pet sitting/boarding within my home with meals and walks provided and a safe place for your dog to lay their head. If you are local, I am also happy to provide dog walking services.

“Cassandra was an amazing sitter and her dog Indy is so well behaved and friendly towards Cleo. I would highly recommend Cassandra to anyone looking for a fun dog to have as a friend to their fur baby.”

I'm very trusting, loving and positive Gal. Will treat all animals like my own and keep very safe! I'm a stay at home mom so with my girl Dixie 80% of the day! She likes to go out on her own in the morning and roam our 2 Acres of land. Even though she is completely off leash trained I respect alot of animal are not. Leasing will be no issues! I live right next to a large lake for puppies swims! Also on a large rail bed (not used) for walking Purpos. Also a nature trail at our local park around the corner! Dixie gets breakfast and supper meals. However your pups need to he fed will be just fine! Where I'm home all day all my attention is on my animals & course my son when not in daycare ! 2 acres of running space, large home, lake outback ! Our property is perfect for dogs! And anyone really :) Very far off the road, we have a long driveway! Newly built 2 years ago, with that said only have ever had 1 tick on my dog so fingers crossed we are in a good location!

About: I've had loads of pet experience over the years, from early childhood to present day. I grew up in a rural setting where there were always animals around...farm animals such as chickens, pigs and turkeys. As for house pets, I've had MANY...several dogs over the years, too many cats to count, rabbits and hamsters. In my younger years I had a Poodle, a Samoyed, a Beagle and Cocker Spaniel. As for cats, well...let's just say our family was crazy for cats...I remember at one point in my youth, I had 10 at once! Later in life my husband and I had two Maincoons (Missy and Buster) who were literally the loves of our lives. We still miss them terribly and always think about them. In my 20s I worked at a pet store, where I also took care of the animals there (cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and fish). In my 30s I worked as a dog walker, which was very rewarding and so, so much fun. I would walk and care for three to six on any given day. I would pick them all up at each of their homes, each taking their preferred seat in my Jeep (the smallest one always insisting she sit in the front seat) and head out on our adventures for the day! These days I have several dogs in my orbit that belong to family members and friends. We have one in particular that we care for in our home periodically for our friends...Gordon the golden doodle, a.k.a. our nephew. All that being said I feel that I have a lot of experience and love to offer your fur babies, along with an endless supply of hugs, snuggles and kisses! Halifax is my permanent home but commute out of province for work. I am home for roughly half of the month, days vary but on average I'm home anywhere from 13-18 days a month and usually anywhere from 6-13 days at a time. I do get my schedule one month in advance on the 25th of each month, at which point I would update my calendar. I currently care for a friends dog periodically when they are away for a few days or sometimes longer. He has the run of the house, not crated and sleeps with us...not spoiled at all. We of course take him on walks and have play time...all the time.

“Rocco seemed to have a great time. You can really tell Gina loves animals. We will definitely bring him by the next time we’re in town. Thanks so much for having him over.”

“Audrey was fantastic!”

About: My love for dogs goes well beyond my memory. I have had several dogs of my own and often cared for and walked dogs for neighbours, family and friends when they travel or while at work etc. I also frequently volunteered at a veterinary clinic for several years. I am a university student with predominantly asynchronous online classes and therefore I am able to devote a large portion of my time to caring for your pet. I have a good enough space for them to roam as well as a patio where they can hang and get some fresh air. I live within walking distance from two park which I am sure they will most definitely enjoy should you feel comfortable with that. I will also most definitely update you with picture and videos so you don’t miss them too much!

“Gail looked after our puppy Ernie during the day for a month and it went exceptionally well. Ernie was so well looked after, taken on walks, taken to the park and given lots of love. Her daily report cards were detailed and greatly appreciated. I can't thank Gail enough, she took incredible care of our little guy. I would highly recommend her, I know I will be booking her again anytime I need some doggy daycare!”

“Colin did a great job caring for Ruby. I felt at ease leaving Ruby with him. He was easy to communicate with and I would recommend him in the future.”

About: I had a 10 year old Sheltie who passed away on December 27th 2024. Since then we have added a puppy to our home. It would be nice to have a playmate for her during the day. I would love to continue dog sitting for those who need a sitter during the day or on specific weekends. I have cat as well who gets along with dogs. I work from home every day and will be able to take your dog for walks throughout the day. A small to medium size dog is preferable with a mild temperament. I’m available to dog sit anytime during the week between 7 am and 7 pm. A drop off between these time is preferable along with a meal if required. Treats are provided . 😀 I live in a townhouse with a small backyard however I do 2 walks for at least 20 minutes each walk. To keep an eye on your dog I will be on the same floor of the house during sitting hours.

“Emily did a great job with our Ophelia! She sent lots of updates and Ophelia had a blast :) Would definitely do it again next time I need a sitter”

“Megan was great! My Wife and I went to our daughter's graduation at Del and needed someone to take care of our 8 month old Siberian Husky, Eva. We are from a long distance away and were worried about who we could trust with Eva. After careful consideration, we decided to ask Megan as she would take Eva in her home, she has a beautiful dog of her own, and she has a good area to take the dogs outdoors. All day long Megan kept us very well update (with pictures) on how Eva was doing. I would definitely recommend Megan to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Also, Megan's dog is awsome! I would offer to take her anytime if Megan needed a sitter if she was in our area. Thank you Megan”

“Cookie had a great time with Larissa and always came back tired and relaxed from the fun she had with the other dogs excercising and playing. 100% will rebook with Larissa again in the future! Thank you Larissa!”

“Gavin and Alex were so easy to deal with and took great care of my little Sammy. Their communication was quick and they kept me updated on how he was doing with them. They clearly love animals as Sammy took to them quickly! The second day he was jumping at their door to get in! 5 star service for sure. I would not hesitate to book with them again!”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, and am currently the proud owner of an 8-year-old beagle, Stella. She's very friendly with lots of friends and playmates, so our home is well adapted to four-legged visitors and guests :) I'm a freelance translator who works from home, with a flexible schedule and generally light workload, leaving me plenty of time to look after other dogs besides my own, including long walks and fun outings to the park. I have a great set-up to board dogs in my home: I live with my dog (8-y.o.) and cat (10-y.o.) in a bright, clean suite with a nice balcony in a very pet-friendly apartment complex in the North End of Halifax. There's a semi-private courtyard out front where dogs like to congregate and socialize, I'm in a very walkable neighborhood close to downtown, the Commons and the waterfront, and I have a safe, reliable car that I use to take my dog and others on fun outings to the park (Point Pleasant Park is a favorite destination). In addition, I'm certified in Pet First Aid by St. John Ambulance (Oct. 29, 2023 - certificate available for viewing in photos).

About: I’ve loved animals from a young age and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including a puppy, several cats, and even fish both as a child and as an adult. This has helped me understand the different needs and behaviors of animals—from energetic dogs to independent cats and the consistency required for maintaining a healthy aquarium. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce basic routines, and I’m equally comfortable with cats, respecting their space while still giving them attention and care. My experience with fish has also made me detail-oriented when it comes to feeding schedules, cleanliness, and maintaining a stable environment—skills that carry over into all types of pet care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine closely. I also keep owners updated so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. I plan my day to ensure I have dedicated time for feeding, walks, playtime, and general care, so pets receive consistent attention and are never rushed. I’m comfortable incorporating morning and evening routines, as well as check-ins during the day if needed. Whether it’s taking dogs out for walks, spending time playing, or ensuring cats and other pets are fed and comfortable, I make sure their routine is followed closely. I treat pet care as an important and enjoyable part of my routine, not just an extra task. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for. I make sure they have a dedicated space to rest, access to fresh water, and a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and relaxation. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and attention. For cats, I ensure a quiet, comfortable space while also giving them interaction on their terms. I’m also experienced in caring for fish, maintaining feeding schedules and a clean, stable environment. Pets are always supervised, and I focus on creating a stress-free atmosphere where they feel safe and at ease. I keep the home clean and organized and provide updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and in good hands. Overall, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout their stay.

“Ben was great! Very quick replies and easy to communicate with. He took great care of Cooper and took lots of pictures and videos throughout the day!”
