“Tara and Jason are amazing sitter!! I had to find a sitter for my dog in the last minute, and they communicated me promptly always and update me with photos of my dog. They are very caring, and my dog had a great stay at their place! Thank you, Tara and Jason!”
“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! 🥰”
“Hunter had a great sleepover! He was a happy camper when I picked him up. Margaret is always quick to respond and sent some pics of my fur baby having a time! The backyard is fenced in, which is great. This is hunters third visit.”
“Ben goes the extra distance to ensure your pet is taken care of. Red my 13 year old greyhound is always in great care, and he loves Ben. I highly recommend him.”
“We had a great experience with Shawna and family. They were very attentive, provided regular updates/pictures, and were flexible with pickup/dropoff. We were able to enjoy our vacation without the usual guilt because we knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
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.
“My dog, Nova had a great time with Melissa! I will definitely book again with her soon. She was easy to talk to and sent me lots of updates and photos to let me know how my pup was doing Melissa and her family have a beautiful backyard which is a Haven for dogs! She also lives close to a beautiful trail system so appropriate for dogs of a variety of energy levels.”
“Louie was the best sitter for my dog while I was away for work , Vasu stayed with louie for 3 days , he’s a little hard to handle boi , but I appreciate her patience and love for him, while trying to make every possible accommodation to suit Vasu’s needs . She did send us regular updates and was very responsive.”
“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.”
“Kara was amazing! I was concerned about leaving Maggie with someone she didn’t know, but Kara’s relaxed demeanour was great with both Maggie and me! I will gladly leave Maggie with with Kara again.”
“My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶”
“Ash and Abhi were kind enough to step in to care for our dog, while we visited in Halifax. Zeppo was well cared for and walked and we enjoyed the touring much more. Highly recommended”
“Rain was lovely to deal with and took wonderful care of Ellie! Rain accommodated Ellie however she could, checked in with me and sent lots of pictures! Ellie was happy when I picked her up and I could tell she enjoyed her stay! We will definitely be going back!”
“We are a family who travels a lot, and we don’t have much help for family when it comes to our animals and one of our dogs is standoffish at first, meaning no boarding facility feels comfortable with taking her- we always had a friend who helped prior to her moving. After thinking we couldn’t travel anymore, we found Victoria. We scheduled a meet and greet the day after I requested a booking, and I immediately felt at ease. My two big girls stayed with her for a week, and during that week, I wasn’t able to get on the app so my friend had logged in and asked Victoria to message me on Instagram- which she did. Multiple times a day she gave me updates with pictures, and after my dogs, wet food ran out she had no problem allowing them to eat some of the food in her fridge (to which I tipped her at the end for the food used). I was a bit nervous on how one of my dogs would take on to her, but by the end she was so happy and Victoria was genuinely upset to see them go. Not only was Victoria an amazing dog sitter, but she also made me feel as if I have gained a new friend in my life. I will rebook her again and again, even on some days I feel like the girls could use all the attention on them. 10/10 service. Thank you, Victoria and we will see you again soon!”
“Greer was amazing with our dog and us. Received multiple updates and pictures during our pets 2 night stay. She was very responsive and accommodating on short notice! Highly recommend!”
“"I had a wonderful experience leaving my dachshund with her! Shea is so patient and truly knows how to take care of dogs. Her own dog got along great with mine, which made me feel so at ease. She was always friendly and kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy the entire time. Highly recommend!"”

About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!
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.
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.
“Trish has watched my Pug/ Jack Russel “ Edgar “ many times now and I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful trustworthy person to leave him with! Trish updates me throughout the day with photos and info about how the day is going. Edgar absolutely loves hanging out with her dog Stella to the point when it’s time for me to take Edgar home he whines pulling back towards Trish and Stella ! Couldn’t ask for better care. Thanks 😊💕”
“Our 14-month old dog, Zola, had the best time with Adrianne and her family. They went to the lake and Zola was tuckered out when we brought her home. I would absolutely book with Adrianne again. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was excellent with our two pups. We were coming in from out of town for the day so couldn’t arrange a meet and greet in advance. Sarah asked all the right questions and our dogs were well cared for all day, and she even graciously accommodated a last minute request to extend their stay. An excellent dog sitter for anyone in Halifax. Thank you so much, Sarah!”
“thank you, Victoria, for taking us on short notice and watching both of our boys Duke and Max. You were great with them and we could tell they had a great time with you! Thank you for taking care of our Bbabies. Lol.”
About: LGBTQ+ Safe 🥰 I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, I had been a Registered Veterinary Technician for 8 years before retiring in 2026 but had branched into my real interest, behaviour in 2022 by starting my own company and focusing on helping owners with their reactive and fearful dogs. I have worked in general practices and emergency medicine so your pet couldn't be in safer hands while with me. My big interests for breeds are German Shepherd Dogs, Dobermans, Malinois, Border Collies, essentially any working or high drive dogs. I've raised Bulldogs, Am Staff's, Rotties and German Shepherds through my life but working on the veterinary side I've worked with everything big and small. I love giant breeds, I've handled everything up to 180 lbs at this point. Though my current dog is a hound mix so I have begun to fall in love with those types of personalities and I do desire a Wire Fox Terrier later in life. I love advocating not only for fearful/anxious dogs but also small breeds who's behaviours are often ignored. My current dog is a rehome to me after biting the baby sitter in his initial home a few weeks after coming to Canada. Since being with me he has a fantastic support system from our primary care vet, our veterinary behaviour consultant, other local dog trainers, and a rehab/fitness specialist to not only manage his chronic pain but his medical management. He is currently on medications but has thrived in training since being with me, he has not been a bite risk while in my care. He loves humans more than anything, wanting to give you kisses and crawl into your skin if you allow him. He loves his dog friends as well, we spend lots of time hiking off leash with other dogs and training with them. Because of this he is also my demo dog for showing other dogs how to be comfortable and confident in the world while also showing things are possible to stressed owners that were where Memphis was in January 2025. My company is Canine Stability and I offer Dog Training, Dangerous Dog Assessments, Behavioural Rehabilitation for dogs with bite histories and severe anxiety and more. I love to focus on reactive and fearful dogs but please check out my Instagram to learn more! Currently my full-time job is my own business so am home during the day while having training sessions in the evenings and weekends. This is why I am now offering boarding for the work day. I am very vigilant about closed doors and gates. My backyard is fully fenced in but dogs are still not left unattended outside or when together. I believe in keeping arousal/stimulation fairly low, we are allowed to play but nothing crazy to avoid miscommunications between dogs and injuries. This doesn't mean they don't get to have structured play, access to a dig pit or other fun games and enrichment during their stay. Being calm and quiet helps with them being more calm and relaxed with the interactions given I am a new face usually. I am always hyper aware on walks or when out of the house with pets, I don't allow strangers to approach or unknown off leash dogs out of utmost precaution. I don't like or go to dog parks for the same reason, just to he on the safe side with unknown dogs/people. I prefer 2 attachments to dogs coming to my home. So I do prefer a collar and harness to be on the dog at time of drop off. Harnesses come off when inside but collars do not as they still stay under my direct supervision.
“We could not have been happier with our experience with Daryl! Willie was happy as he could be and I know he received tons of snuggles and had the best day with Daryl. Thank you so much for making our boy feel comfy and safe!”
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have worked on a farm for many years where I spent my days around dogs, horses, and plenty of barn cats. Being around animals every day has taught me to read their body language, understand their unique personalities, and provide patient, attentive care. Whether your animal loves long walks, energetic playtime, or simply wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to meet your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work remotely four days a week in a flexible role, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule isn’t tied to a strict 9 to 5, so I’m able to adapt to your pet’s routine and individual needs. I live in a spacious apartment with plenty of room for your pet to relax and feel at home. Daily walks are already part of my routine, and I love getting outside for fresh air and exercise. When caring for your pet, I prioritize giving each animal the attention, affection, and consistency they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys an active day of adventures or a quiet afternoon of cuddles and naps, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular photo updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighbourhood in a spacious apartment that provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets. My building is peaceful with minimal noise, making it a great place for dogs and cats to relax and feel at ease. There’s plenty of room to stretch out, play, and settle in, so your pet can enjoy a safe, stress free stay while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Danielle! 🐾 I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who has always loved animals. I’m a mom, and my home is a warm, busy, family-oriented environment. I’m hoping to offer pet sitting as a way to earn some extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience caring for animals and understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I would want someone to give my own. Because I have a young child at home, I do need pets staying in my home to be comfortable and safe around children. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality, routines, energy level, and any quirks or special needs ahead of time to make sure we’re a good fit. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send photos and let you know how your pet is doing. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and see if I can be the right person to care for them! 🐶🐱❤️ Danielle Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a mom and spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide pets with regular attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m looking to take on a manageable number of pets so that each animal gets individual attention rather than feeling like they’re simply being left in a busy group. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and bathroom schedule and keep their routine as consistent as possible while their owners are away. In my home, pets would be treated as part of the family and would have plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and opportunities to go outside. Because I have a child, I only accept pets who are comfortable and safe around children. For client visits or care in the owner’s home, I’m respectful of the pet’s familiar environment and routines. I follow the instructions provided by the owner for feeding, walks, medication, bathroom breaks, and any other specific needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing.

About: I can provide a loving, structured, safe environment with a focus on positive reinforcement. I have experience with almost every kind of pet, but specialize in canines and kitties. As someone who is home all day, I am able to prioritize with the needs of your pets whether it be old age related health needs or young age related potty needs etc. I have a large partially fenced yard on a green belt. I have a dog line set up for brief outside uses but usually take dogs out in groups several times a day besides walks.

Dogs are allowed on some furniture with permission.

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.

“Tara and Jason are amazing sitter!! I had to find a sitter for my dog in the last minute, and they communicated me promptly always and update me with photos of my dog. They are very caring, and my dog had a great stay at their place! Thank you, Tara and Jason!”
“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! 🥰”
“Hunter had a great sleepover! He was a happy camper when I picked him up. Margaret is always quick to respond and sent some pics of my fur baby having a time! The backyard is fenced in, which is great. This is hunters third visit.”
“Ben goes the extra distance to ensure your pet is taken care of. Red my 13 year old greyhound is always in great care, and he loves Ben. I highly recommend him.”
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.
“My dog, Nova had a great time with Melissa! I will definitely book again with her soon. She was easy to talk to and sent me lots of updates and photos to let me know how my pup was doing Melissa and her family have a beautiful backyard which is a Haven for dogs! She also lives close to a beautiful trail system so appropriate for dogs of a variety of energy levels.”
“Louie was the best sitter for my dog while I was away for work , Vasu stayed with louie for 3 days , he’s a little hard to handle boi , but I appreciate her patience and love for him, while trying to make every possible accommodation to suit Vasu’s needs . She did send us regular updates and was very responsive.”
“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.”
“My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶”
“We are a family who travels a lot, and we don’t have much help for family when it comes to our animals and one of our dogs is standoffish at first, meaning no boarding facility feels comfortable with taking her- we always had a friend who helped prior to her moving. After thinking we couldn’t travel anymore, we found Victoria. We scheduled a meet and greet the day after I requested a booking, and I immediately felt at ease. My two big girls stayed with her for a week, and during that week, I wasn’t able to get on the app so my friend had logged in and asked Victoria to message me on Instagram- which she did. Multiple times a day she gave me updates with pictures, and after my dogs, wet food ran out she had no problem allowing them to eat some of the food in her fridge (to which I tipped her at the end for the food used). I was a bit nervous on how one of my dogs would take on to her, but by the end she was so happy and Victoria was genuinely upset to see them go. Not only was Victoria an amazing dog sitter, but she also made me feel as if I have gained a new friend in my life. I will rebook her again and again, even on some days I feel like the girls could use all the attention on them. 10/10 service. Thank you, Victoria and we will see you again soon!”
“Greer was amazing with our dog and us. Received multiple updates and pictures during our pets 2 night stay. She was very responsive and accommodating on short notice! Highly recommend!”
“"I had a wonderful experience leaving my dachshund with her! Shea is so patient and truly knows how to take care of dogs. Her own dog got along great with mine, which made me feel so at ease. She was always friendly and kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy the entire time. Highly recommend!"”

I'm a confident, patient and attentive caregiver who understands that each dog has unique needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making each dog feel comfortable and at home. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or maintaining their regular routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. As a stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can easily maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. I always introduce the dogs gradually and supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. If your dog needs their own space, I'm happy to accommodate this as well, including crating if requested. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. I will send you updates if requested so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“It was our first time using Rover. Meaghan and family were amazing dog sitters and welcomed our golden retriever into their home with open arms. Our girl loved hanging out with their dogs and cat, was taken on many walks, and rides for treats. She had a blast! Communication was excellent with photos throughout the boarding. Thank you, Meaghan! 🐕 ☺️”
“Caissie was welcomed by Jennifer and her family into their home. Lots of walks and play time with her dog Navy. Jennifer sent us regular updates and photos which was appreciated. I would not hesitate to leave Caissie with Jennifer again.”
“Ruck was an amazing sitter for my dog Bailey while I was travelling for a week. His dog Blue and Bailey were great buddies and he was beyond accomodating with my last minute request for a sitter after my plans fell through with another sitter. He sent updates throughout my trip and when I got back late from the airport to a dead car battery he was able to bring Bailey home to me that night! I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope to be able to leave Bailey in his capable hands the next time I’m travelling 🙂”
About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!
