“Shannon is amazing with dogs. Our 9 month year old rough collie took right to her. She understands doggy needs and comforts. Thank you so much Shannon for your excellent care of Butterscotch for 2 weeks.”
“They took great care of Athena for an over night stay, she got plenty of exercise and slept the whole next day at home. Highly recommend Rafe and Carla, they have lots of experience with animals, especially dogs.”
“We highly recommend Suzie as a pet sitter! She did an exceptional job looking after our two fur babies. Our 12 year old is not the easiest to please but she had a great time with Suzie, playing at her house. Suzie administered her meds twice a day like a champ. Our 4 year old took advantage snuggling with Suzie day and night. Suzie is a caring, diligent and loving person, so with her, your pet is in excellent hands!!!”
“Absolutely loved having the dogs stay with Stephanie. They were wonderful. Her home was so homey for my boys they really didn’t want to leave. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Jessica is 100% a “dog person”. She was so great with our young Husky- she was familiar with his breed & the personality that comes with it. And to say our dog had a wonderful time would be an understatement! She was also good to keep us updated; we felt very comfortable with our pup in her care.”
About: Very comfortable with medication administration and any special needs your dog or puppy may need. Nurse by profession with a great love for all animals. I’m available from 5pm Friday until Monday morning 8am full care. If you have other needs through the week please message to discuss - here to help in any way with your pet care needs. My golden retriever Wilson both has free rein of the home and comfortable in his kennel. I would prefer kennel trained but if well mannered - fine to have free in the house.
“I had an amazing experience with Frederic and highly recommend him to everyone. He kept me updated and provided pictures throughout the process. My dogs were completely worn out when I got them back, which makes me happy—I can finally sleep soundly too!”
“We left our home and animals to Jacky while out of province for a week and we couldn’t have been happier with her services. She sent daily updates of our fur babies which included tons of cute photos of them playing outdoors and relaxing indoors. She put our mind at ease knowing they were being well taken care of, not to mention our animals LOVED her! Not only did she take great care of our animals but she made sure our home was well taken care of. She even put the garbage out to the end of the road on garbage day and frequently checked on our sump pump while we were gone- AMAZING. Would 100% book with Jacky again, in a heartbeat ! Thanks Jacky!”

“Emma was absolutely amazing! She cared for my girls while I was with a dying friend, and she was so great. I had to change plans a few times and every time she rolled with it and was so kind and understanding. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were cuddled and cared for; it was such a relief to know she was there! I HIGHLY recommend Emma.”
“We had to cancel our trip and Hannah was understanding. In our dealings with her to date, she has been reliable and she is responsive and communicates well. We hope to book her again soon!”
About: I've taken care of cats on and off for several years. My partner had a cat and is also very experienced in looking after cats, too. I also spent this summer looking after two cats (Mr McNulty & Watson)!
“Kaylee was absolutely wonderful! She looked after my two cats for about two weeks over Christmas, and she was so kind to them (and to me!) She shared photos with me every day, and when I got home they were so cuddly and well-cared for. I will definitely book with Kaylee again, if needed!”
About: I have had a pet ever since I can remember, I see them as a family member not just a pet. I have had dogs from the terrible puppy stage to the chill adulthood stage. I love all shapes and sizes, thick and thin hair! I’m also aware of allergies/conditions that any pet would have. I am currently working full time at a car dealerships. Monday - Friday 9am -5:30pm and Saturdays (9am -3pm) I do have Wednesday’s and Sunday’s off every week. I have a car for any reason that may occur. I am not allowed to have pets at my house currently but I have available to stay at your house to look after them if you need.
About: Hi, my name is Danielle. I am 28 years old, living in Nova Scotia. I have lots of pet experience, from puppies to adult dogs to seniors, of all shapes, sizes and ages. I have been walking and caring for dogs for years. I had my dogs for about ten years. He recently passed away, but I cared for and loved him. I have been walking and dog-sitting dogs for the past few years. I have experience training and dealing with friendly and not-so-lovely and have been involved with different breeds, from big to small breeds, in different environments. I have been taking care of dogs when the owners are not home as well as on vacation I get up every day and walk and feed my dog and make sure she is happy we play in the house for hours and go on long walks and new adventures i make sure they are loved and taken care of I attend to their every need from potty breaks to making sure they are played with and wagging their tail
“Such a wonderful experience with Megan! Leaving our fur babies behind is hard, but Megan completely put our minds at ease. It was so reassuring knowing our cats were in such good hands. We are so grateful for the excellent care they received. The updates and photos she sent were the highlight of our days. We'd book with Megan again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Brianna is a lovely lady and Cooper certainly loved the belly rubs and company!! I am already booking another appointment soon as the Olympic Qualifiers are on and only happen every 4 years! I loved that she took pics and sent them to me! That's what my kennel does also!”

“Peter was wonderful with Ella! It was my first time leaving her with someone she wasn’t familiar with but she took a liking to him very fast and felt comfortable with him! I felt comfortable leaving her with him, he gave me updates throughout the day and was overall a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend him to any pup parent! :)”
“I can’t express how nervous I was to leave Hosea for the first time ever. Suzie made me feel at ease the moment I met her. I am so very happy with the service provided for my baby. It was a very important day and Suzie came in like a rock star along with her husband. I would highly recommend Suzie to anyone!!”
“First time leaving our rambunctious dog with anyone and these folks took excellent care of her. She was excited to go back into their home on the second day and slept like a log every night. Lots of mental and physical stimulation for her. Thank you! Will definitely be back.”
About: I recently lost my sweet pup to old age. I’m looking for that companionship without the commitment of getting another dog right now. Looking to give lots of love while being active. I currently work from home mostly. And sometimes need to take short drives(20min) in the car for work, though never having to leave the car. So your pet would never be left alone in the car if I was boarding them. I offer lots of love to your pet, but do try to work with pets having good habits. I have successfully taught dogs and puppies basic commands, crate training, and other healthy habits.
“I had Stephanie take care of my 12 week old golden retriever on 2 separate occasions and she was fantastic with Bogey. She has 3 golden retrievers herself so fully new what to expect from a young golden puppy and all their quirks. Stephanie and her husband Brian answered any questions I had and we're great to deal with. I will definitely reserve Stephanie's services again when needed. I highly recommend Stephanie as she is very attentive to my puppies needs and Bogey is definitely getting enrichment when he visits because he sleeps so well when he gets home. Paul A.”

“Emma is a lifesaver! She is super proffesional, and quick to respond. It's been wonderful to have her drop in for a walk on days when my husband and I are working long hours. My dog absolutely adores her.”
About: "I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. My calm and nurturing approach helps pets feel comfortable and safe, making me more than just a sitter—I’m a trusted companion for your furry family members. I am a golf professional so between November and April, I have more time to myself and work sparingly. Pet sitting is perfect for me and for you and your pet(s)! We have an animal friendly home that is a stones throw away from a park with plenty of space for your pet to run and roam. There is a sizable sofa, a chair, bed all for them, too. Wooden floors so any messes aren't as troublesome as it would be on carpet.
“Absolutely amazing, very friendly and sweet my puppy took right to her and was very happy after her walk! She even withheld a treat from a stranger until she had my permission to give it to my puppy, very very happy with kaylee's service today. Definitely recommend”
“It's hard getting help walking Stella last minute but Danielle was there to help :) Stella has lots of energy and Danielle took the time to add a little extra playtime too burn some extra energy. With the heat wave on he hottest day she kept Stella well hydrated and happy :)”
About: I have been involved with dogs & cats since I was younger. My friends & family have relied on me for dog sitting and walking. And I LOVE it, I can follow a food/walk schedule, and give your best friend all the fun and attention they desire. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I make time each morning and evening for feeding, fresh water, and a quick health check. Walks, playtime, and cleaning (like litter or bedding) are built into my schedule so your pet stays active, comfortable, and well cared for. Weekly, I handle deeper cleaning, brushing, and restocking supplies. I will care for your pet however you need, whenever you need I’m here to help. I am happy to administer medication, walk & play!
