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!"”

We were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest, knowing that our Willow was happier than ever with his host family. Thank you!!”
“Shawna was absolutely fabulous in caring for our dog. It was our first time working with her, and our dog was heightened and had some challenges and Shawna went above and beyond to support and come up with ideas for a smooth transition, and during Pip's stay. While it was our first time with Shawna, we have worked with many dog care providers and Shana was absolutely one of the tops, if not the top. And so many thoughtful messages through the day to update and reassure us - communication was remarkable. In short, we feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to have Shawna take care of our little Pip. One other point to mention was that her house is set up incredibly with all the thoughtful items for a dog - Pip got to play with several things she had never experienced before, thanks to her visit.”
“Mark and Evangeline were so kind. We were very happy with their services. Their communication was excellent, their home very clean and dog friendly, and they treated our dog as if she were their own beloved pet. We are so pleased to have met them and will certainly book again.”
“This was the first time Sully has been to a Rover sitter, and we are so impressed! Marisa gave Sully medication and eye drops and took him on daily walking adventures. She even took him for a stroll on the Halifax waterfront. We received multiple pictures each day which was great! We can’t thank Marisa and Danny enough and would definitely take Sully there again.”
About: I grew up on a farm so I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was small. We have always had dogs and cats around the house and the farm and we learned the importance for caring for and loving animals. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbours. More recently, I have taken care of a whole litter of puppies while my friend was away on vacation. My passion for animals has sparked me getting a dog of my own which has led me to experience all the joys that come along with puppies and dogs in general. I would be so happy to meet your lovely pet and get the chance to take care of them for a bit! I’m currently working full time as a teacher but I am free after school hours and on weekend to take care of your fur baby! I have a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company if they like other dogs. If they prefer one on one attention that is no problem either! I am very flexible and accommodating. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority!
“Kara was amazing! She sent photos every day of my dog and Oswald just loved her! She took care of him when he got an upset stomach and was so kind and generous 10/10 would contact 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.”
“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!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with Justin and the amazing care he gave our Tucker! 🐾❤️ Tucker stayed with him for 5 days and 4 nights while we were away in Quebec, and Justin went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker had so much fun playing fetch, going on walks, and visiting the dog park. And of course, he had the best time with Justin’s Golden Retriever, Zoey! They became such good friends. 🥹 It honestly felt like Tucker was staying with his second family. Justin was so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and we could tell Tucker had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We truly appreciate you and Zoey. Tucker definitely has a second family now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with you again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Renita was an excellent sitter for Jaya. She sent daily picture and video updates, kept Jaya’s routine, and helped Jaya adapt to her home away from home. Our dog can be a bit anxious, but it didn’t take long for Renita to make Jaya feel comfortable. We felt at ease during our entire trip as we could see Jaya was in good hands. I highly recommend Renita to care as an exceptional dog sitter.”

“Esme was amazing with Luna! She was super flexible and even came over beforehand to meet Luna, learn her routine, and spend some time with her so they could get familiar with each other. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and really enjoys what she does. She kept me updated during every visit with lots of photos, videos, and messages about how Luna was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I need a pet sitter! ❤️”

They took wonderful care of my babies, followed all of my care instructions, and provided lots of pictures and detailed updates throughout the stay.

I would absolutely recommend Hayley and Lucy to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters, and I will definitely book with them again!”

About: **WILLING TO PROVIDE SERVICES ANYWHERE IN THE SOUTH/NORTH END, WITH MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR HOME STAYS I realized recently that I am the default pet sitter for my friends. Hopefully, I'll become a default for you as well! Whether it is a dog, cat, or hedgehog, I am always happy to look after a little family member. I grew up in a family full of animal lovers, and that is a trait I have as well! Over the past few years, I've been responsible for weekly care for a dog from 8 weeks old (he's 3 now!). I have a variety of experience looking after dogs big and small, young and old. In my spare time, I volunteer with Elder dog walking many different dogs for seniors in the HRM. These dogs have a variety of needs and interests, but I always try to make their day the best! I've cared for cats of all ages (and personalities). I'm a graduate student with the option of remote work. As a result, my schedule is flexible. I have a few consistent commitments throughout the week, but am happy to work with you to figure something out :) When looking after your dog, I want to be sure I know everything there is to know. What toys are their favourite, do they take medication, and how much food do they get? For walks, it is important to me that they have the appropriate gear to keep them safe (like a harness and a light if it is night). I'll treat your baby like my own, and I promise I'll keep them safe! I have a flexible schedule as a grad student working in research roles. Taking dogs for walks is a great add-on to my day as fits wonderfully with my active lifestyle. I will not offer services in my own home. In your home, I will discuss the location of all necessary items, if areas are off limits, and who to contact for an emergency. I will be sure to understand your dogs' needs and your rules.
“Rhiannon stayed with my cat over a long weekend. She was incredibly professional, I received frequent updates, and my home was left immaculately. Totally trusted her, and will absolutely book with her again!”
“I immediately trusted and felt comfortable with Jaime. She is very professional, communicative, and thorough, and she made sure Gus had such a blast!!! Lots of play, exercise, and cuddles. What more could you want?”
“Ashley was amazing with Lily. Lily is a very shy cat and usually takes time to feel comfortable around new people, so the first couple of days were a little challenging. Ashley was very patient with her, kept me updated, and let me know anytime she had a concern. I really appreciated how closely she paid attention to Lily’s behavior, eating, and overall comfort. By the third or fourth day, Lily had really started to trust her. They were playing together, and I could see that Lily was happy, relaxed, and comfortable around Ashley, which honestly meant a lot to me. Ashley was very responsible, caring, communicative, and cooperative throughout the whole time. Since Lily doesn’t easily get comfortable with new people, finding someone I can trust with her is very important to me, and I’m really happy I found Ashley. I would definitely reach out to her again whenever I travel and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 😊💕”
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.
“We had such a great experience with Divya! She was so sweet with Sophie and took such good care of her. I loved getting all the photos and updates, and Sophie got several walks and lots of attention. It made me feel so much better knowing she was happy and in good hands. I have already rebooked her to look after Sophie again! 🐾”
“Danielle took amazing care of our little guy, Ernie. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands. I would happily recommend Danielle and will definitely use her services again!”
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.
“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.”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. My sweet pup Beans trained me very well before he recently passed. I routinely care for other people's pups when they are out of town of if their pet requires a reset in a quiet place with a routine to feel confident and content. I also volunteer with ElderDog supporting seniors' dogs with walks and care. I am trained in dog and cat first aid, I feel comfortable with animals of all ages, administering medications, and adapting routines as your pet may require. Dogs are family in this house, they're welcome anywhere the humans are and have easy access to the backyard for bathroom breaks, zoomies, sniffing, or sunbathing. I work from home on a flexible schedule so your dog can enjoy their regular adventuring and snoozing routines with plenty of attention. I have a spacious, detached home and private yard for your pup to relax and play in. If provided, I can ensure any crate training you are working on remains consistent. Otherwise, there are many pre-puppy-approved resting and playing areas for your dog to discover and enjoy. I have a car and can get your pet to care in case of an emergency. I will ensure that feeding, medications, and special instructions are incorporated and that you are updated with photos so you can see their sweet little faces enjoying their stay! I am available throughout the day should you have any questions or want to receive more information.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages; growing up around dogs means I have taken care of puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with everything that comes with keeping a dog happy, safe, and well cared for. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so I’d love give yours plenty of attention and company while you’re away! I’m a university student currently taking online courses, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m able to be around throughout the day to give them lots of attention, company, and care! I have plenty of space for your pet in my apartment, as well as a small backyard that’s convenient for quick bathroom breaks. I also live close to several parks and green spaces, so there are plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained, and I’m completely comfortable cleaning up any accidents or messes that may happen.
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: Pets have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember - dogs and cats especially, along with small animals along the way. Beyond my years as a pet owner, I've volunteered as an advanced marine mammal rescue volunteer and as a dog walker, and I bring that same hands-on dedication to every animal in my care. Caring for animals has been a significant part of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a soft spot for dogs that need a little extra patience - my own 15-year-old boy (who recently crossed the rainbow bridge after an incredible life) was both dog and people reactive, and navigating that with love taught me more than any training course could. I'm comfortable adapting walks and routines to keep reactive or anxious dogs feeling safe and confident. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart as well. I have hands-on experience managing diabetes and administering insulin in a senior dog, and I understand the attentiveness and gentleness that aging animals deserve. I recently said goodbye to both my 18-year-old cat and my sweet 15-year-old dog, so I truly get how precious and deserving of great care your senior fur family members are. Whether your pet needs a relaxed in-home visit, a thoughtful walk, medication support, or just someone who will love them like their own - I'm your person. I cannot wait to meet them! 🐾 I am self-employed and work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility in my day to care for your pet. They are welcome to come hang out at my house, or I am able to come to them. I am adaptable and will make the space as comfortable for them as possible, should they stay here. Pets are family and we treat them as such in my house.
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: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs through my own 5 year old Cavapoo, as well as regularly watching friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of attention and care. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of company, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I live in a dog-friendly apartment close to several great parks and walking spots. With a little dog of my own, I know all the best places nearby for walks, playtime, and getting some fresh air. Your pup will have a comfortable, dog-friendly home base with plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore!

About: I've lived with cats and dogs for most part of my life and they are the big reason I got into pet care. Being a rescue dog owner myself, I understand the need for outdoorsy time for fur babies. I currently only provide dog walking as I live in an apartment, but can drop in as necessary. I'm available full time on weekends, and can work with a schedule on weekdays. I can board other cats from Friday to Monday, but can drop in on mornings or evenings on weekdays. I'll try my best to accommodate any requests you have. I don't do boarding for dogs, but can come to your place and take care of them. I can also do overnight for cats/dogs at your home, depending on the situations.

About: Since a I little girl I have loved all sorts of animals. I have had everything from dogs, to amphibians to reptiles! though i have never personally owned a cat, their company has been something i’ve always adored when visiting family and friends. As well as, I have worked with large animal veterinarians for the last two summers learning to care medically and compassionately for all sorts of different species. I am home the majority of the time when not in classes. My classes are few and far in between with lots of time to hangout with your animals and give them the best care. As someone who has owned high maintenance reptiles, I know how to follow relaxed and strict care for all animals. Your routine will be followed accordingly and to the pets benefit!
About: I grew up on a farm so I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was small. We have always had dogs and cats around the house and the farm and we learned the importance for caring for and loving animals. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbours. More recently, I have taken care of a whole litter of puppies while my friend was away on vacation. My passion for animals has sparked me getting a dog of my own which has led me to experience all the joys that come along with puppies and dogs in general. I would be so happy to meet your lovely pet and get the chance to take care of them for a bit! I’m currently working full time as a teacher but I am free after school hours and on weekend to take care of your fur baby! I have a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company if they like other dogs. If they prefer one on one attention that is no problem either! I am very flexible and accommodating. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority!
“Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them 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.”
“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!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with Justin and the amazing care he gave our Tucker! 🐾❤️ Tucker stayed with him for 5 days and 4 nights while we were away in Quebec, and Justin went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker had so much fun playing fetch, going on walks, and visiting the dog park. And of course, he had the best time with Justin’s Golden Retriever, Zoey! They became such good friends. 🥹 It honestly felt like Tucker was staying with his second family. Justin was so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and we could tell Tucker had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We truly appreciate you and Zoey. Tucker definitely has a second family now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with you again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Renita was an excellent sitter for Jaya. She sent daily picture and video updates, kept Jaya’s routine, and helped Jaya adapt to her home away from home. Our dog can be a bit anxious, but it didn’t take long for Renita to make Jaya feel comfortable. We felt at ease during our entire trip as we could see Jaya was in good hands. I highly recommend Renita to care as an exceptional dog sitter.”
About: I am a reliable sitter that has cared for many breeds of dogs. Animals have always been my passion and I love to lend a helping hand. I also have a sweet golden of my own and everyday spent with her is a joy. I am living in Middleton during the week for work but would love to look after your furry friends on weekends so you can get out and enjoy. I have a friendly golden who loves other dogs so if you want some socializing for your dog she is a perfect playmate. Can walk your dogs alone or with my golden. I live in a house with a large fully fenced in backyard off a dead end quiet street. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly and loves all dogs so it would be fun if your pet is looking for a companion to play with. If you prefer your dog to be cared for alone, that is also not a problem.
“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 🙂”
