“Tara and Jason and their dog Stark were great looking after Wally. They sent lots of updates with pictures and videos. Wally got lots of walks, trips to the dog park and tummy rubs. Highly recommend them for pet sitting!”
“Ben is the best at what he does. We left our little Bo with him for a week and got constant updates of the daily adventures he would take the dogs on. Bo is a really anxious boy and it felt reassuring to know he was getting attention just as he would at home.. I think it also helped that Bens other dogs got along with him which made it easier for our Bo. HIGHLY recommend Ben. Will use his services in the future if needed. We really appreciated Ben for all he did”
“We had a perfect experience leaving our pup in the care of Shawna & family. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for comfort while they're away. Great communication, happy dog, etc.”
“Margaret has been amazing with our little French Bulldog. I had pictures and news of him and all the activities they did together almost every day. She gave him his treatment for allergy and was monitoring his state and behavior to make sure he was feeling good. She is very knowledgeable about all dog's things ! I would absolutely recommend Margaret if you need someone to look after your furry babies !”
“Milissa and family are wonderful caregivers. She sent me pictures and updates everyday of when we were away so I was never worried about Ollie. We really appreciate the great care they give:)!”
“Mark & Evangeline were awesome with Zimba. They took very good care of him for the 2 weeks that we were away, and made him a part of their family. They sent us daily updates with pictures and short videos. They gave Zimba his medication in a timely manner, and followed his regular routine. When we picked him up we noticed that he was happy and well taken care of. Mark & Evangeline are the best sitters we have had so far and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely keep Zimba with them in the future. Thank you Mark & Evangeline! 🥰”
“Emily and her family were just phenomenal! A true love for dogs and animals in general was very apparent! Our pup loved her stay and we were so relieved knowing she is in the best hands. Getting pics and updates throughout the stay was amazing and the whole experience just perfect! Definitely coming back.”
“Colin was an absolute dream! Extremely personable and accommodating of all of our dog’s needs. He was very committed and engaged to providing great care for Pickles with daily activities. Thanks Colin!!!”
“We had our two dogs stay overnight with Akshata and we were extremely pleased with our experience. She replied quickly to any of my questions or concerns, updated us on how dogs settled in to her home and provided pics before I even enquired. She was also extremely amicable and flexible with our drop off of dogs. I felt reassured that our dogs’ safety and well being was taken care of during their stay! Thanks Akshata!”
“Amazing dog sitter! I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such caring hands. Super communicative, sent lots of sweet photos, and truly went above and beyond. Would absolutely book again!”
“Trish did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my senior dog. She was great at sending me daily pictures and updates. She was able to give all the medications with out issues and my dog got along with hers so well. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her for sitting and would use her again.”
“Marisa watched Ellie for me very last minute over night. I was nervous about leaving Ellie but Marisa made Ellie and I feel very comfortable. Ellie was very happy and looked really content in the lovely photo’s and updates Marisa provided while Ellie was in her care. When I picked Ellie up she was very happy and grounded. Your pup will enjoy their stay at this loving, kind home and you will have a feeling of confidence when you drop your pup off and meet Marisa. I will use Marisa again without hesitation and I would recommend Marisa 110%.”
About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.
“Absolutely wonderful !! I worked our of town for a week and left my dog with Kelly. She took great care of my dog with walking feeding and playing . She sent a couple pictures and was very easy to communicate with. No issues at all and if i have another trip out of town She will be first on my list to take care of my pooch ! If I could give 10 stars and 2 thumbs up I would”
“Gail and Felicity took excellent care of Stevie once again. He seems so happy and content with them! I also totally trust them to look after his eye issues - and that's a huge relief for me!”
“Carolina took great care of my dog, Roxy, from just the conversation to book! She helped me coordinate knowing Roxy is nervous of high energy dogs and consistently sent updates of Roxy throughout her stay. I had high confidence in Carolina to enjoy my trip and know my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to Carolina again and highly suggest!!”

“Naomi was great. She did drop-in visits with our cats for 2 weeks and was very communicative and sent great photos. It was our first time leaving our cats home alone for a significant period of time and they were in great hands.”
“Courtney was fantastic. Her daily updates were clear, consistent, welcome, and we really appreciated the pictures. It was reassuring to know that our three kitties were being so well looked after. Courtney went above and beyond in asking for the location of the broom/vacuum to clean floor of litter (I had forgotten to leave the broom out). The floor of the litter room was very clean when we arrived back home.”
“Jenna was great! She was really friendly and my cat loved her. She made sure to spend a good amount of time playing with my cat so she didn't get too lonely while we were away. Thank you Jenna!”
“Took fantastic care of my 2 kittens while I was away for a few days :) Always kept in touch and took plenty of adorable pictures, They were always topped up with fresh water food and treats and were in great spirits when I got home, would definitely recommend to any other pet owners looking for some pet care”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, I grew up with dogs and cats always in the house. They became my best friends and as I got older I realized that nothing would make me happier then getting to work with animals everyday. I started my own dog walking and sitting business when I was 18. I ran this for several years, earning the trust of countless people to enter their homes and care for their animals. Now 10 years later I have decided to get back into pet care. I am so excited to meet you and your pets! I know we will get along great. I have been working as a Registered Massage Therapist for the last 3 years but recently I have been experiencing pain due to the nature of my work. So I am stepping away from massage to focus back in on pet care as a full time passion. So I have plenty of time through the days evenings and weekends for whatever pet care services you require. My animals have always been treated like my children and your animals would be no exception to this. I look forward to learning their unique needs and the best ways to connect with them.
About: I have owned cats all my life and have 3 boys myself varying in age, temperament and medical needs. My experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and behavior has given me a strong understanding of cats' unique needs, personalities, and medical requirements. I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and medication. I also have experience recognizing subtle feline body language and stress signals, helping me provide care that is both compassionate and respectful of each cat's comfort level. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment and am experienced working with shy, anxious, reactive, or otherwise sensitive cats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers their own space, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.
“Kathleen was wonderful with our cat Franz! She sent so many pictures and gave her so much attention. She stayed over night and the house is clean and exactly how we left it. Kathleen is a great communicator and we would definetely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always loved cats! I’ve had three of my own furry friends who saw no shortage of pets and treats. I have been a reliable cat-sitter, exceeding the expectations of their owners, feeding them on a specialized schedule, cleaning their litter box, and making them feel safe and comfortable under my care.
“Autumn was great! She’s very responsible and provided my kitty with great care. I could always contact her with questions and she always provided me with sweet pictures of my little guy each visit. I was quite nervous leaving him for the first time for an extended period of time. Autumn put my mind at ease!”
“I was away for a couple of weeks and needed someone to help taking care of my cat. Jesalah is so great with him. Communication was clear and prompt. Definitely recommend her service!”
“Alexandra took excellent care of my two cats. She made sure that Cleo had her medication on time. She sent pictures while I was away, which I enjoyed. Would definitely get Alexandra again .”
“Thank you so much Louise for taking care of our furry babies! Louise made the effort to come visit us before watching the house and cats. She constantly sent updates, pictures and kept in touch to ensure everything was going well. We came home to very happy cats! Thank you! ☺️ 🐾”
About: Cats have always been a big part of my life, and I understand that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and routine. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, including one with asthma who requires an inhaler twice a day, so I'm comfortable administering medication and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers quiet companionship and a consistent routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your pets while you're away. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention (if they want it!), and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
About: I've had cats and felt a special connection with animals since I was a little kid. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while they are out of town. I've also been on Trusted Housesitters for more than a year taking care of people's pets.
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Kiki while we were away. She provided detailed information about how Kiki was doing and sent lots of pictures! It was such a relief to know Kiki was being so well looked after.”

“Ben was great! He genuinely seemed to like our Mini Schnauzer, Jackson Pancho. He sent us lots of pics of Jack’s time with him. We meant to bring treats for Jack, but forgot. He fed him a little after checking with us about allergies and such, which we really appreciated. Jack seemed to have had plenty of exercise and play time. Ben was flexible about drop off and pick up-great because we are in an unfamiliar city visiting. I wish we had Ben in Minnesota, where we could use his skills more often!”
About: We've recently had to say goodbye to our adored 16 year old Miniature Dachshund and our family of four is seeking to share our home and love with other dogs. I am available to care for your dog during the day as I am not working and our two older children are in school. I am often not away from the house for more than 1 -2 hours at a time and I love spending time outdoors. We live in a pet friendly neighbourhood with sidewalks and easy access to both paved and wooded paths near the lake for lots of walks. While our backyards is not fully fenced, we do have a walkout deck and private grassy and wooded area for play and supervised breaks. We have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I would be excited to learn more about your pet and can tailor my care for their unique needs. I am available 24/7 to care for your pet. I can provide undivided attention to your pup during the day and we can offer lots of attention and play given all family members are dog lovers. Typically, someone is always home and if not, we're only away for 1-2 hours at a time. Your pet will have access to our entire house; however, we also have secure gates available should you wish to resist to the main level. We also have a pet stroller should your dog have any mobility issues.
“Greer was very sweet and took great care of Fluff. She provided us with many updates. I don't think Fluffy even knew we were gone. He made himself right at home lol. I would definitely book with Greer again. She was amazing and we were very grateful to have Fluff in such considerate hands.”
“Our puppy, Maud, loves coming to Carissa's! (We know this because of how hard her tail wags when we arrive each time!) She gets plenty of exercise and fun with Carissa's dog, Hershey, and we feel confident knowing Carissa will make sure she's safe, happy and having a well-balanced day :)”
“Natalia was amazing with my dog, Robin, who takes a while to warm up and can be very nervous bc of her past. Natalia was communicative all day, and spoiled Robin, who looked so happy in the photos I received. She has a calm, intentional presence and I knew Robin was in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
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.
About: I've shared my home with Scottish Terriers continuously since 2005, often two or three at once, which gave me a deep grounding in a notoriously stubborn, independent breed — but I'm happy to walk or sit any dog over 14 lbs. My current companion Frasier is 11, so I'm well versed in senior dog care, including recognizing changes in mobility, appetite, and energy that come with age. Years of managing multiple strong-willed terriers at once has made me patient, consistent, and quick to read a dog's mood, whatever the breed. I treat every companion in my care the way I treat my own. I'm currently between roles and conducting an active job search, which means I have a flexible daily schedule with plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and companionship. I'm generally available throughout the day on weekdays and weekends alike, so scheduling around your pet's routine — rather than mine — is easy. As my situation changes I'll keep my availability updated, but for now I have significant time to devote to your dog's care. I live in an apartment with my partner and our 11-year-old Scottish Terrier, Frasier, who is friendly and well socialized with other dogs. There's no private yard, so walks and bathroom breaks happen on leash in the neighborhood, and I'm attentive to leash manners and safe street awareness at all times. I can crate a dog if needed, though I'm equally comfortable with supervised free time in the apartment. Your dog will always have a calm, clean, secure space and full attention while in my care.
About: I’ve had three cat for more than 6years, I can take care of them very well. For dogs, I’m always the one that my friends comes to when they are away and needs a responsible dog walker. One of my friend’s dog is very energetic and a little hostile to other large dogs, so I took him out very early in the morning to dogs park and play frisbee with him. For my weekly routine, I’m currently working part-time and the schedule is not always fixed. Please contact me few days before you need the service. I have a 6 years old male nutered ragdoll at home, very friendly and easy going with other cats but not sure about dogs. I live in an house and sharing it with my girlfriend.
“Johnson was very patient and caring with Estelle! She was was a little cranky at the start, but Johnson was calm and kind. Estelle soon got comfortable and enjoyed her stay! We are visiting with family so it was great that he was available at the last minute.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of many small to big dogs all my life, growing up with animals in the house and around me. Currently I have a cat who is best friends with her golden retriever back home in ontario. I have held my own accountability and taken the responsibility to feed, walk, bathe, and play with my pets everyday because they need enrichment as well. Currently I am a university student taken mainly online courses so I’m always home with a flexible schedule. I have 2 classes i attend to every week but am never gone for more than 2-3 hours at a time. I’m an early riser and tend to be a bit of a night owl as well, so there’s plenty of time to play. I have a fenced yard so your pups stay close by when going potty and when I am gone marbles (my cat) will be able to keep them company, if needed i can also crate them. I like to keep my apartment clean so there is never food or a mess for your pups to get into as well.
“We had a great experience with David and Calvin. They were reliable, kind, and took excellent care of our kopi. Communication was clear and consistent. Would definitely book again!”
“It was my first experience using Rover and Jasmine made is super positive - she’s the best. Charlie is anxious and I felt that Jasmine and even her adorable dog Panda made him feel at ease. I really appreciated Jasmine’s communication and care; providing me updates with pictures throughout Charlie’s stay. Jasmine is genuine and understanding…Charlie was well cared for and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: I have had a special place in my heart for animals of all kind my whole life. I have a dog and three cats of my own and I have dogsat for friends and family on many occasions for prolonged periods. By day, I am a Pharmacy Technician, which means I’m patient, empathetic, and have medical experience (I’m very comfortable administering medication and injections). I work full time but I have the time to give your pet quality time and attention, walks, bathroom breaks, and whatever other special care they might need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and kitties of all attitudes. I will make sure your pet is cared for in the way that they’re used to being cared for so they feel comfortable and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. For winter walks, I follow a safety-first policy. If sidewalks are icy, there is freezing rain/sleet, or conditions are unsafe for walking, I may need to cancel or reschedule. I’ll always give as much notice as possible.
“Taylor saved our bacon with a last minute walk. She took great care with our girls. Our senior dog got the exercise she needed and our younger dog too! Thanks Taylor!”
“Kaleigh has been an outstanding walker for my dog Fitz. She is safe, reliable and responsible. My dog adored her after only meeting her once and is over the moon excited when she arrives. Kaleigh is communicative and took him on a variety of adventures, I can’t speak highly enough about her!”
About: I have had my own dog, Bear, for 10 years. He’s a highly excitable beagle-dachshund mix! As a university student, I’m always looking to give back to my community in the summers. I’d love to help out my fellow pet-lovers by ensuring their dog gets their needs exceeded while feeling comfortable and loved. With a flexible schedule and calm demeanour, I can help unload the stresses of life by giving your dog the care they deserve🐾 From July-August I have a highly flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life as a student since my summer-job has come to a close and school does not begin until September. I can help at those difficult times when both work and your dog need attention at once. I will always take the time to learn the precautions you have set up for your dog, whether that be fencing, gates, crates, or a designated play area. You can trust me to respect any special requests as I understand the needs dogs sometimes require. My own dog is on daily medication and requires mobility assistance for stairs.
About: My sister said that if she reincarnates she wants to come back as an animal in my care. I thanked her, promising she would be my favorite. I am comfortable and capable with large barnyard animals to the smallest of household pets. I have been an animal lover and caregiver for my entire life. Now that I am retired, I am thrilled to devote my time to being with animals. I enjoy caring for them in their own home. And I have a secure fenced backyard for doggy guests. I am able to stay with them for added security and attention. I've been a hobby farm owner, worked on a farm, have had the joy of loving many animals. Walks and chores and quiet times are aspects I really enjoy. I feel I have a connection with animals and have a calm spirit that soothes them when needed. I am retired. So my weekdays and weekends are available. I can housesit or just visit depending on the location. I have a completely and securely fenced backyard. So I can offer doggy guests safety and worry-free play time. Lots of shade or sunny spots, a small wading pool for water lovers and even a good spot to dig in the dirt. I have no pets of my own at this time. I am a non-smoker and dedicated to providing the best care for beloved pets. I have reliable transportation. I am very fit and love taking pets for walks , playing in backyards or resting and relaxing with senior pets. For doggy daycare clients, I offer a securely fenced back yard and worry-free indoor space. My attention is all for my guest when they are here. I am home full time and enjoy playtime with my guests. I am comfortable giving medications. I am capable of barnyard chores and large animal care.
About: My experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and behavior has given me a strong understanding of cats' unique needs, personalities, and medical requirements. I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and medication. I also have experience recognizing subtle feline body language and stress signals, helping me provide care that is both compassionate and respectful of each cat's comfort level. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment and am experienced working with shy, anxious, reactive, or otherwise sensitive cats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers their own space, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I recently transitioned to a casual position at Lady Hammond Animal Hospital after working there full-time for nearly two years. This change has given me the flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets and providing them with the attention they deserve. My passion for animal care began long before my veterinary experience, with previous work in dog daycare and grooming environments. What I enjoy most is building relationships with animals and helping them feel happy, fulfilled, and comfortable while their families are away. I have always loved spending time outdoors and staying active. After the loss of my own dog last October, I found myself missing the companionship and joy that comes from sharing walks and adventures with a furry friend. Now that I have the time and availability, I've made it my mission to help provide that experience for pets whose owners may need an extra hand with exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having a caring and knowledgeable companion nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I'm always ready for the next adventure. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, allowing me to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs—whether they prefer an energetic adventure, a leisurely stroll, or something in between. My goal is to ensure every outing is safe, enriching, and enjoyable. I drive a spacious SUV with plenty of room to safely transport pets to appropriate exercise and enrichment locations, as well as provide reliable transportation to and from veterinary appointments if needed. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs, from independent animals who require quiet time and space to decompress, to affectionate "Velcro pets" who thrive on constant companionship and attention. My background in animal behavior helps me recognize body language and stress signals, allowing me to adapt my care and provide accommodations that support each pet's comfort and well-being. I am also experienced with a variety of feeding routines and dietary requirements, including veterinary prescription diets, medication administration, food allergies and sensitivities, and raw feeding protocols. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's established routine and will ensure they receive consistent, attentive care while you're away.
“Miranda was fantastic. She was very accommodating with some specific timings I needed my dog walked at and she was always willing to go above and beyond by letting me know when she was with her. She was prompt with communication and made this process easy. I highly recommend her to be involved in your pets lives!”
About: I grew up with a lot of animals. I feel happy spending time with them and they are indispensable to me. and I love animals! Promo code KINAA83870 I'm finishing school so I can spend more time with pets. The job is part-time so it's very flexible and pet sitting fits into my lifestyle.

About: I have had dogs my whole life from puppies to seniors to rescues. I have experience with all different types of personalities and preferences.

I am also availability for pet sitting. I will take the time to review all your pets needs and ask questions to ensure you feel comfortable trusting your pet with me as I know it can be hard to leave them with someone else.
“Greer has been walking Scamp for a while now and she has been amazing!! Always on time and leaves us a rover card with his walk route, pictures, and number of pees/poops. When it was too hot for her to complete an hour walk she came back the next day to make up the time which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi there, My name is Carissa and I have been caring for animals for 15 years now from dogs to harp seals. I am energetic and love hiking and walking, but I am also a good snuggle buddy if need be. I do not mind stopping in to administer medications or just for company and a pee break. We have a fenced yard and a dog friendly house. I love dogs of all sizes. I help run an animal shelter called Beagle Paws. I have two dogs of my own a 1 year old beagle and an 13 year old mixed breed. I love dogs of any breed or size, age or breed. Please contact me for a visit so we can meet and get to know each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. Thanks Carissa. I am currently on maternity leave with a 6 month old baby so am home most of the day and enjoy daily walks and lots of play time. I have a fenced yard an two gated porches at both entrances of our home. When fireworks or storms occur I make sure dogs are leashed when exiting the house.
About: I've taken care of three different types of medium and large dogs in my family as I've grown up. One was a German shepherd/husky mix, another was a terrier/Shih Tzu mix, and my current dog is a black Labrador retriever. I have come to understand just how much of a responsibility comes with being a dog owner ever since I was little, so I know it's not always just a walk in the park (pun intended). I am experienced with both senior dogs and puppies, and am extremely attentive in order to cater to their needs. Safety is always a priority to me as well as properly maintained communication between myself and any client/employer. I am available any day, as long as I am given at least a day's notice in advance. I am also a part-time online student during the spring semester, so I have a fairly flexible schedule for pet care. I always make sure my own dog has access to water and feed him on schedule everyday (getting up early is not an issue). I make sure to pay attention to whenever he needs to be let outside to do his business or if he needs to get some energy out. His exercise is also a priority whether that be walking, running, or playing fetch in a field. While on walks, I keep him on-leash unless in an enclosed public field for dogs and I carry poop bags with me at all times when I take my dog anywhere.
About: I grew up with animals and had a yellow lab who was my best friend until she passed away two years ago. I miss her deeply, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I go on long walks every day anyway, so I’d love to have a furry companion to join me. I also have a huge soft spot for cats and enjoy giving them the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply making sure your pets feel loved while you’re away, I look forward to making them feel safe, happy, and at home. I work at a nonforprofit community space and my schedule depends on if we're in program or not. Most of the time I work Mon-Fri 9am-4pm, when im in program I work random Wednesday or Thursday evenings from 1:30pm-8:30pm with a few Saturdays here and there. At home, my cats are spoiled in the best way. They have an automated litter box, deck time three times a day, and regular brushings every few days. I feed them little extras like pumpkin purée, sardines, and tuna to keep them happy and healthy, and I’m diligent about clipping their nails so they’re always comfortable. Sometimes I even head home on my lunch break just to check in and give them extra attention because I miss them! I bring that same level of love, care, and commitment to every pet I look after, making sure they feel safe, adored, and part of the family.
“Emily was great walking Austin for a couple of evenings when we were tied up. She was quick to respond to our last minute request. She was very punctual and Austin had great walks with her. Thanks Emily!”

“Tara and Jason and their dog Stark were great looking after Wally. They sent lots of updates with pictures and videos. Wally got lots of walks, trips to the dog park and tummy rubs. Highly recommend them for pet sitting!”
“Ben is the best at what he does. We left our little Bo with him for a week and got constant updates of the daily adventures he would take the dogs on. Bo is a really anxious boy and it felt reassuring to know he was getting attention just as he would at home.. I think it also helped that Bens other dogs got along with him which made it easier for our Bo. HIGHLY recommend Ben. Will use his services in the future if needed. We really appreciated Ben for all he did”
“Margaret has been amazing with our little French Bulldog. I had pictures and news of him and all the activities they did together almost every day. She gave him his treatment for allergy and was monitoring his state and behavior to make sure he was feeling good. She is very knowledgeable about all dog's things ! I would absolutely recommend Margaret if you need someone to look after your furry babies !”
“Milissa and family are wonderful caregivers. She sent me pictures and updates everyday of when we were away so I was never worried about Ollie. We really appreciate the great care they give:)!”
“Mark & Evangeline were awesome with Zimba. They took very good care of him for the 2 weeks that we were away, and made him a part of their family. They sent us daily updates with pictures and short videos. They gave Zimba his medication in a timely manner, and followed his regular routine. When we picked him up we noticed that he was happy and well taken care of. Mark & Evangeline are the best sitters we have had so far and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely keep Zimba with them in the future. Thank you Mark & Evangeline! 🥰”
“Emily and her family were just phenomenal! A true love for dogs and animals in general was very apparent! Our pup loved her stay and we were so relieved knowing she is in the best hands. Getting pics and updates throughout the stay was amazing and the whole experience just perfect! Definitely coming back.”

“Trish did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my senior dog. She was great at sending me daily pictures and updates. She was able to give all the medications with out issues and my dog got along with hers so well. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her for sitting and would use her again.”
About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.
“Absolutely wonderful !! I worked our of town for a week and left my dog with Kelly. She took great care of my dog with walking feeding and playing . She sent a couple pictures and was very easy to communicate with. No issues at all and if i have another trip out of town She will be first on my list to take care of my pooch ! If I could give 10 stars and 2 thumbs up I would”
“Gail and Felicity took excellent care of Stevie once again. He seems so happy and content with them! I also totally trust them to look after his eye issues - and that's a huge relief for me!”
“Annie was treated like royalty with Jessica! Very communicative, tools her for lots of walks, and treated her like she was her own dog. Will absolutely be using her again. Thank you!!”
“Renita and her husband were so wonderful to my pup, Wrigley. I loved having updates with pictures and videos throughout the day, as he hasn’t been without us much and we were worried how he would be. It was reassuring to see how comfortable he was and they made him feel right at home. I also love that they only take on one dog at a time, so I know he’s getting their full attention. I would absolutly book with them again!”
About: Walking dogs was my main part-time job all through elementary and highschool. Now I have a dog of my own so it has once again become part of my daily routine. Sunny and I are always looking for new friends so would be excited to meet your pup! I am a young professional working remotely in the environmental field. I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule to work in some pet care! I am an active person keen to get outside with your pet! I am responsive to pets needs whether that means a trip to the bathroom or a game of tug-of-war.
About: I've grown up with family dogs since I was 8. I've been volunteering for dog care for 6 years with the SPCA. I've raised and trained my own dog (Golden Retriever) from 8 weeks to now her being 1.5 years old and gets along with every person and animal she's ever met. Meet & Greet I prefer to do a meet and greet with every new client. We can do this at my house in my fenced back yard and we can get to know each other while your pup can play and run around with my dog. I work from home part-time so your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. We start mornings with breakfast and a walk around the neighbourhood before work. Lunch time we head to the off-leash park nearby to burn off energy and play to prepare for afternoon naps while I work. After work is supper and free play time however the pups want to enjoy themselves. On my flex days I'm home all day, so your dog will never be left alone for long and can enjoy a consistent, calm routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and I keep a close eye on all pups during their stay. I only host dogs that are friendly and socialized, ensuring a positive environment for everyone. My home is clean, dog-friendly, and filled with cozy spots for napping between adventures.
