“Beautiful people and home. They took great care of my elderly dog and sent me many updates. I am very grateful. Darby seemed very happy and healthy upon his return home. Thank you very much.”
“Ben took great care of our 8 month old Chocolate Lab, Willamena, while we were traveling for 7 days. He was very communicative, and send us plenty of pictures of their multiple walks per day, and even took her swimming in Point Pleasant! We loved all the updates, photos and videos. Willa had lots of fun with Ben's dogs as well. Ben was very flexible during pickup and dropoff, and we would be glad to leave Willa with him anytime!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!”
“5 stars aren’t enough!! Emily and her family took such great care of brooks. I felt completely at ease and was worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us at pickup! Haha. Looking forward to his next stay over Christmas.”
“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! 🥰”
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.
“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've done pet sitting for dogs and cats of family and friends. I've also owned 3 dogs and 2 cats in my lifetime. I do not currently have any pets in the house full time. I currently work full time in Dartmouth until 330pm but I am free most weekends and weekdays after 4pm. I will normally be away from my house during the week for 10+ hours I have a house with a large unfenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood. I do not currently have any pets in the house full time.
“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”
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.

“Taylor was fantastic! She was very professional and caring with our boy Butters. We were anxious to leave him, but Taylor immediately put us at ease with her calm and friendly demeanor. Throughout the stay, she was attentive, communicative, and made sure we knew Butters was in great hands. We truly appreciated the updates and photos, which made all the difference. We would highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“We always pick Julia to look after our senior cat when we're away. We came back to a very happy cat! Julia always provides a breakdown of the visit and photos, so you can relax while you're away. I can't recommend her services enough! :):) Thanks, Julia!”
“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.”
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.
“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: Hello, thank you for taking a look at my profile! If you are looking for someone who is responsible, knowledgeable, honest, compassionate and Pet First Aid certified to look after your pets, please continue reading and send me a message. I can’t wait for us to get to know each other better! My name is Chloe, and I would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have three dogs of my own, a 5 year old Border Collie (Brady), a 4 year old Border Collie (Poppy) and a 4 year old Australian Cattle Dog (Quinn), and I frequently walk/board over 50 dogs (not at the same time lol). I am always looking for more clients, the more doggy friends the better :) I used to work at two popular doggy daycares in Dartmouth, NS. At the daycares I would have many dogs of all different sizes and personalities in my care. Sometimes the numbers of pups in my care could even reach 100 on a single day! The dogs currently in my care range from tiny Boston Terriers, to Greyhounds and 100 lbs Bernadoodles! So it’s safe to say I’ve got tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds and reactivity levels. I am currently not offering boarding at my home, but I can come and stay at your home and provide the best in-home boarding services around! At home is where your pets are most comfortable and I want to help them have a fun filled stress free time while you are away. I love being active and can adapt to any pups lifestyle. Do they need a longer hike at a nearby trail? A short stroll around the neighbourhood? Want to play fetch in their backyard or a nearby fenced in field? Go for a run at the beach? You can count on me to give your pup the best time. I offer more than what is listed here on Rover, so if you’d like to know more please don’t hesitate to send me a message! Thank you, I can’t wait to hear from you! 🐾 Everything I do everyday is focused on my pet care business. I am 100% committed to giving your pet(s) the best care and attention possible. When I stay at someone’s home to take care of their pets, I adapt to that pups lifestyle to give them the best personalized in-home boarding experience. Whether it is a senior dog who only needs 1 or 2 short walks and then wants to cuddle all day, or an energetic younger dog who needs multiple hours of exercise every day. I love to hike on trails that aren’t well known so we don’t run into other people and dogs, I love to go to the beach! I even take the dogs I’m with to run errands with me if that’s something they enjoy. Because I do this full time, your dog will rarely have to be left home alone. (As long as they are good with other dogs) Otherwise the longest they would be alone is 7 hours, but I can provide drop in visits / walks for them to break up that time.
“Svetlana sent me pics and videos each day, and it was clear that my kitties were happy to see her. She was so gentle with them! I would definitely book her again the next time I need to go away.”
About: I have 10+ years experience with dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for 8 months, have read many training books and am very patient. I have a 12 year old pomeranian, a 4 year old Australian Shepherd and a 1 year old Siberian Husky. We enjoy walking and hiking together quite often. I love high energy dogs that help me to stay active. I love teaching tricks and walking the beach. I'd be happy to help you and your fur babies out any way I can whether it be with training, reactivity issues or just general care. Dogs with special needs are not an issue. I can administer medications and am trained in pet first aid. I am affectionate toward any dog and try my best to ease into new experiences for them. I am learning to deal with forms of aggression in dogs. I understand how hard it is to find a trustworthy person to care for your family member. I treat dogs like I would treat my friends. I love dog kisses and cuddles too. I am currently working part time and would love to help you out with dog walking/jogging needs or even with house calls for pet feedings, administering medications or even puppy pee breaks. I treats my own dogs like babies. They are generally spoiled! I will treat your dogs as if they were a part of my family. I follow any specific instructions you have very carefully and make sure that your pet receives the absolute best care.
About: cats are such a special part of my life i’d be honoured to meet your little ones and embrace the different big personalities. I travel for work so i know how hard it is to be away from your fur baby and for them to be away from you. im here to assure you I’ll care for them like my own! i’ll try to distract them from missing you too much, by feeling safe and comfortable with whatever instructions you provide.❤️
“My boys absolutely loved having you around while I was away! You were so attentive to each of their needs and that showed with the day to day updates you gave me. You were diligent in making sure that both Moose and Onyx received the same attention when you would check in on them. The updates you would give me made me feel so much more confident in knowing that they were in good hands. Thank you so much for providing the best care to my fur babies! 🐈⬛ 🐈”
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 taken care of various type of dogs including senior dogs and had a Frenchton of my own in the past years but I don't own any pets at right now. I can also pick up your pets in Saint John if needed. From belly rubs and interactive plays to car rides and long walks, I got it covered. I work full time from 0730-1800 during the week ant Saint John but I offer full time weekend walks, playtime, home sitting and boarding services, from 5pm on Fridays to 9pm on Sundays. And if required, I can also offer boarding services and drop in during the week at Saint John or Grand Bay areas. I have a big unfenced front and back yards for the dogs to play around and do their businesses, with leash on and under supervision.
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.
About: I grew up with dogs, had some on my own later on and also did some pet sitting for 2 big dogs while traveling in Australia. My schedule is very flexible, working part time and also for myself. It is for me an uplifting and brightening activity to spend time with dogs. I am with them caring for them and, responding to their needs while being respectful of your space and your home. Perfect balance for you, your pet and I.
About: I truly love caring for cats! Whether your kitty enjoys playtime or prefers a quiet cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Fresh food, clean litter, gentle attention — all with daily updates so you know they’re happy.
About: I am a life long animal lover who currently has a dog, Olive, and a cat, Feta (can you tell my better half is Greek?!) I am available for drop ins and walks- with or without my pup Olive. Whatever is best for your dog. I love to go hiking and can take your dog on or off leash in lots of beautiful trails around HRM. If walks in your neighborhood or dog parks are better for your dog we can do that too! I am also available to drop in on your kitties! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies. I am currently on maternity leave and so I have lots of availability. If it’s a weekday I will bring along my 9 month old in her carrier. On evening and weekends I will come alone. I have used rover both as a dog walker and as a dog owner. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I will take care of your pets as I would my own.
About: Hi, I love caring for dogs while their owners are at work/vacation and sharing pictures of their day with their family with regular check ins. Im home 24/7 so will be able to spend time with your pets all day if they wish! I’m available for extended house sits. I love to help out and have the family relax while they are away. Communication is important to me and I don’t mind answering all the little questions. I can help with basic training, puppy raising and setting strong foundations for a happy, healthy family pet member of the household. If you’re not looking for basic training but just to make sure your dog has a great vacation while you are away that’s great too! Monitoring Canine Body language is very important to me as well as positive and force free techniques for training and husbandry. I have a 6 year old chill Shiba Inu, Pixel, but our pets can be separated with double gates if preferred, but he does get along with all properly introduced dogs. I do agility, confirmation (dog shows), nosework and trick training with Pixel. I love the challenge in building a trusting and fun relationship with a primitive breed. I am an experienced raw feeder and happy to feed any food of your choice. Please feel free to message with any questions you may have, looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I’m available 24/7 so am able to keep to any scheduling your pet needs. Medications, walks, meals can be set to your schedule always. Please let me know if any special requests. I like to keep to your family’s schedule while I’m caring for your pets. Walk at 5am? No problem! 4 walks a day? No problem. Just let me know your preferences. I also like to provide picture updates regularly and do not mind if you message me a lot while you miss your pet, I would too!

“Being a dog mom it was a big step trusting someone to look after Solo however Ben gave frequent updates through video and pictures which meant the world and put my mind at rest. Ben is very loving and caring towards my dog and would recommend him to others looking for someone yo care for their dog.”
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.
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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.”
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 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 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.
“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 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.
About: I have always had family dogs growing up. We just love dogs, they make everything more enjoyable. I have my corgi since 2019, we cared for her since she was a puppy. Crate trained her within 3 months. She is the best! Most of the time we'd say we got lucky but it was really more of a teamwork! We trained her and she is a quick learner:-) I have so much love for dogs, caring for them is not a job for me. It is my passion:-) I will take care of your dogs with the utmost care that you expect! Message me if you need a sitter! I am working from home, I usually walk the dogs between 6am-10am, and then pee and play break between 1pm-3pm, another walk at 6pm onwards and then another one before midnight/ sleep time. Depending on the owner, we have crates for trained dogs. And if you prefer the dog to be loose inside the house as long as they are not disruptive, we are also fine with this.
“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!”
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!”

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 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.
About: Hello, thank you for taking a look at my profile! If you are looking for someone who is responsible, knowledgeable, honest, compassionate and Pet First Aid certified to look after your pets, please continue reading and send me a message. I can’t wait for us to get to know each other better! My name is Chloe, and I would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have three dogs of my own, a 5 year old Border Collie (Brady), a 4 year old Border Collie (Poppy) and a 4 year old Australian Cattle Dog (Quinn), and I frequently walk/board over 50 dogs (not at the same time lol). I am always looking for more clients, the more doggy friends the better :) I used to work at two popular doggy daycares in Dartmouth, NS. At the daycares I would have many dogs of all different sizes and personalities in my care. Sometimes the numbers of pups in my care could even reach 100 on a single day! The dogs currently in my care range from tiny Boston Terriers, to Greyhounds and 100 lbs Bernadoodles! So it’s safe to say I’ve got tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds and reactivity levels. I am currently not offering boarding at my home, but I can come and stay at your home and provide the best in-home boarding services around! At home is where your pets are most comfortable and I want to help them have a fun filled stress free time while you are away. I love being active and can adapt to any pups lifestyle. Do they need a longer hike at a nearby trail? A short stroll around the neighbourhood? Want to play fetch in their backyard or a nearby fenced in field? Go for a run at the beach? You can count on me to give your pup the best time. I offer more than what is listed here on Rover, so if you’d like to know more please don’t hesitate to send me a message! Thank you, I can’t wait to hear from you! 🐾 Everything I do everyday is focused on my pet care business. I am 100% committed to giving your pet(s) the best care and attention possible. When I stay at someone’s home to take care of their pets, I adapt to that pups lifestyle to give them the best personalized in-home boarding experience. Whether it is a senior dog who only needs 1 or 2 short walks and then wants to cuddle all day, or an energetic younger dog who needs multiple hours of exercise every day. I love to hike on trails that aren’t well known so we don’t run into other people and dogs, I love to go to the beach! I even take the dogs I’m with to run errands with me if that’s something they enjoy. Because I do this full time, your dog will rarely have to be left home alone. (As long as they are good with other dogs) Otherwise the longest they would be alone is 7 hours, but I can provide drop in visits / walks for them to break up that time.
“Melissa instantly connected with our pup when she came to meet him and he really took to her. She was very professional, loving and kind to him. I’d definitely recommend her and will contact her again when needed. Thank you Melissa for the great service and the great chat!”
“Was able to help last minute walk for my dog Nova! Very much appreciated, and was nice that she already had a previous stay with my fur babies, and they loved her; She took great care of them and my place! Highly recommend”

I can meet whatever food, medication and outing rules you have for your pets and can provide grooming for them as well
“Ally has walked my 'girls' 3 times so far. Ally is prompt; communication is good, and the dogs clearly love to see Ally arrive. They are looking forward to future walks. Very happy, and I recommend. Thanks.”

“Beautiful people and home. They took great care of my elderly dog and sent me many updates. I am very grateful. Darby seemed very happy and healthy upon his return home. Thank you very much.”
“Ben took great care of our 8 month old Chocolate Lab, Willamena, while we were traveling for 7 days. He was very communicative, and send us plenty of pictures of their multiple walks per day, and even took her swimming in Point Pleasant! We loved all the updates, photos and videos. Willa had lots of fun with Ben's dogs as well. Ben was very flexible during pickup and dropoff, and we would be glad to leave Willa with him anytime!”
“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.”
“Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!”
“5 stars aren’t enough!! Emily and her family took such great care of brooks. I felt completely at ease and was worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us at pickup! Haha. Looking forward to his next stay over Christmas.”
“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! 🥰”
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.

About: I've done pet sitting for dogs and cats of family and friends. I've also owned 3 dogs and 2 cats in my lifetime. I do not currently have any pets in the house full time. I currently work full time in Dartmouth until 330pm but I am free most weekends and weekdays after 4pm. I will normally be away from my house during the week for 10+ hours I have a house with a large unfenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood. I do not currently have any pets in the house full time.

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.
“Gail and Felicity were amazing, great communication and the cutest photos, Tux was clearly relaxed and enjoying his time with them! Gail and Felicity have lots of experience/knowledge to handle all kinds of dogs and different temperaments, it was very much appreciated and I recommend highly. 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!”
“Jess was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her. My dog stayed for one week over the holidays .Dexter was treated like he was one of her babies, I got pictures daily and updates . I will definitely use her again! 😊😊”
“Ryan is clearly a dog lover. It was our dog Maxx's second stay with Ryan and we have booked a third! Maxx is well cared for and enjoys his time with Ryan. He is anxious dog and was very settled this visit. He clearly knows and likes Ryan.”
