“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!!!”

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!”

“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! :)”

“Emma took teddy for daycare on very short notice and I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Everything went very well and he looked happy in his pictures! I highly recommend Emma and the Rover app!”
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 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!!”
“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.”
“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 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.

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!

About: I am an experienced and reliable pet lover! I have been taking care of cars + dogs of all ages for many years, from walking energetic puppies to supporting senior cats with extra care. I’m great at matching each pets energy level and needs to fit their typical routine. I am very flexible with my schedule. I am a substitute teacher so often available on the days I am not teaching and after school hours! I want to make sure every pet is comfortable and safe at all times, especially in their own home! Safety and trust are a priority for me. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for a cat in your home, I always create a calm, secure environment to support their needs. I pay close attention to their behaviour, use secure leashes and harnesses, and stick to familiar routines. I also ensure their surroundings are safe and free from hazards, so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, reliable hands.
About: No longer a dog owner, but have my grand-dog for vacation stays & outdoor adventures. I walk and/ or run daily and I am a former regional physical activity consultant always on the move. I’m semi- retired and a triathlon coach educator with periodic contracts. My daily routine includes swim, bike and run workouts. I love being outdoors all year round. I’m looking to walk dogs. Our grand-dog, Joey is a young NS Duck Toller who is well trained so we use the same commands he is used to. When he stays with us we keep the same routines and activity levels he is accustomed to ( mostly trails or the local beach) for him each day. Recognizing that each breed and dog has different needs for physical activity, consistency is important.
