Personalized care for your dog or cat - Truro

“Our dog loved his time with Rose! We really appreciated her daily updates, and he was spoiled under her care. We will definitely be leaving Marty with Rose again!”

About: ​Experience: Pet sitting since 2018; 2+ years of rescue fostering (puppies, high-energy pups, you name it). ​Track Record: 1 foster fail (a magnificent 1.5-year-old Chihuahua who rules the roost). ​Perks: 100% WFH availability, unlimited patience, and a dog-educated 6-year-old co-host who knows the golden rule: let sleeping dogs lie (and give them space). Since I work from home, I have open availability and all the time in the world to tune into your pup’s routine, habits, and comfort level. ​Accessibility & Location: Elevator building (great for older dogs or stair-skippers!) right next to a garden and field, and minutes from Victoria Park. ​Home Vibe: Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds so they feel right at home. I also have plenty of space if your pup prefers to bring their crate. ​Host Dog: My friendly small dog loves making new friends and playing!

“Nataliya was an amazing find - I feel so lucky to have found her! She loved my pup Rusty like he was her own. She made him comfortable even though this was his first time away from us and we were gone for 4 weeks. Two walks a day and so much pampering I think he had a great time. She kept me updated with daily photos so I never worried. Her property is perfect for dogs. Highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs, and they have a close place in my heart. I’m patient and gentle and have a soft spot for older dogs. Ever since I lost my family dog two years ago I’ve been looking for some more dog love in my life. I work full time, and work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and could fit in lunchtime walks if it’s close to home. My schedule on weekends is typically very flexible. I understand the importance of the rules in your home when it comes to your pet and will be sure to respect them! I want to ensure your pet feels at home even when they’re with someone new, so I believe that keeping your routines is important.

“Trisha was amazing with our three dogs. She provided daily updates, photos and videos. It was the first time we went away and didn't worry about our pups, she took such great care of them. I highly recommend Trisha's pet sitting services, she's the best!!!!”

Charlene L.

“Brooklyn did a fantastic job looking after our two dogs for two weeks. She provided daily updates and photos and immediately responded to all of our messages. Our dogs boarded with her and it was evident she made them feel at home. The dogs looked happy in all photos and were happy to have met a new friend in Brooklyn’s dog Dior. Our dogs are on different diets and one is on raw and medications and she had no problem accommodating that. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brooklyn to take great care of your pets.”

Bryson M.

“Sarah is a dream! I could not ask for a more attentive and caring person to take care of my sweet boy. Thanks so much for being there for him!”

“Alyson was amazing to work with! She was very thoughtful the entire time. My cat is shy but Alyson already managed to befriend him in such a short time.”

About: Each cat is gorgeous, but each cat has their own personality, routine and comfort level. And I want to provide the best care I can while accommodating those individual needs with respect and care. • Experience and Wellbeing: I have experience caring for nearly every shape of cats through professional pet retail and private pet sitting, including feeding, cleaning, enrichment, medication support, and monitoring their health. During visits, I will: - Provide water and food according to your instructions - Clean litter boxes - Provide play sessions and affection, depending on your cat’s personality - Carefully monitor behavior and wellbeing • Communication: You will receive updates with photos, videos and a brief summary, four times daily: - Morning - Afternoon - Evening - Before bed • Meet & Greets: I prefer to schedule a meet & greet before every first booking. This can be done virtually or in-person. This lets me get familiar with the pet, you and the routine and care you expect me to provide. I want do my very best by your pet, and this is the first step.

About: Having professional experience in boarding/ daycare kennels allows me the ability to understand dog behavior and how to handle dogs of all temperaments. As well as pet sitting for family friends for years. Currently enrolled full time at Dalhousie and working part time, but have flexibility to accommodate your needs. This can be discussed further following a meet and greet. I treat the animals as though they were my own. Keeping in mind how I would want my own cat or dog to be treated if they were entrusted to another person's care.

“Took such great care of our boys 💕”

“My cats loved Jesse! I felt good leaving them in her care, especially as a vet tech I knew they were in good hands. I loved the pictures and updates that put my mind at ease to let me know they were doing well. Highly recommend Jesse. Will rebook in the future for sure ! :)”

Kaitlyn H.

“Laura was amazing!! My cat is very nervous and she was very kind to him and always let me know how he was doing in detail. I had to extend my travel plans last minute and she was immediately available to continue checking in on him! Thank you Laura!”

Shannon L.

About: I have many cats of my own that I have raised at my parents and I love cats as a vet tech I believe they are often misunderstood

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs ranging from English Bulldogs to Great Danes to mixes and everything in between! I enjoy long walks daily and being outdoors. I currently offer dog (and cat) sitting in house / house sitting, dog walking and drop in visits. Send me a message and we can chat! I’m a teacher, so I’m off all summer! In the school year, I’m available outside of school hours. I normally go for 7-10km walks everyday which can be broken up depending on the dog and their needs. I don’t have any animals of my own currently so I can focus on yours! I currently only offer in-house services. I am very tidy, responsible and quiet. I leave my space clean and I am very considerate! I am able to water plants, gather mail, and take care of general housekeeping duties!

“We were worried about leaving our dog home alone for the weekend, but he was absolutely fine because Holly dropped in to make sure he was fed and walked. Regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Holly!”

About: I have kept all sorts of cats including Sphynx. I am good with cutting nails, cleaning ears and what ever else needs done. I have experience with bottle feeding kittens and giving meds

About: I have been a dog lover for longer than I can remember. Growing up as a kid I was blessed with a golden lab and chow chow to run around with. The lab became my best friend, a 4-legged friend to walk through the streets and pass my scraps to under the table (now as an adult I'm much more knowledgeable about not feeding the dog everything you can). Throughout the years I've lived with a variety of different dogs, as well as fostering a few within my home. From pugs to staffords, german shepherds to golden doodles. I've lived abroad and dealt with homeless dogs, been able to feed and help care for their needs. I am currently looking to broaden my doggie circle and have my own dog meet some pals along the way! I live in Bass River on a large lot of land, but can easily drive to your area to care for your animal. I can easily take them for walks using my car as well. My job as an elementary math teacher requires me to work about 6 hours at a time between Sept and June, but I have full availability during the summer months. I am active myself, so if your dog loves running around at the park or going for hikes, we can definitely do so! I have a 6.5 year old black lab rescue named Cali who loves to be outdoors. I also have an 8.5 year old mutt named Poncho who is lazy and calm. They are both super friendly and adore all animals (both dogs and cats). So as long as your pet gets along with others as well, it could be a match made in Heaven! There'll be lots of attention, loving, and care. Whatever your dog needs, I will make sure to go above and beyond! I do teach during the week (Sept-June) but am able to come home on lunch breaks to care for the dog if accessible by my work route. My schedule is normally flexible but I am never out of the house for more than a few hours. I have an unfenced yard and a lovely, walkable neighbourhood by the water. I am able to drive us to dog parks or walking trails as well! My own dog loves going to the beaches and parks around town, especially school fields, a fan favourite!

About: I have owned my own dogs that I have groomed myself and taken care of for years. When fostering dogs, I maintain their grooming and other health needs. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I work shift work as a youth care worker. I have a lot of time during the daytime to check in on, walk, and feed your dogs as needs require. I have a backyard that’s not fenced in with no other pets. I have a couch that we allow the animals to sit on, as well as my bed. Can crate your dogs if needed. Always walk dogs on leash.

“Absolutely loved Rose! So good, calm and sweet! Bebe is a shy dog and she put her instantly at ease! She was more than organized for Bebe, had toys, a bed and everything ready for her. Recommend her 1000%!”

Alyssa R.

About: I have 8 years of professional experience in dog daycare and boarding facilities working as a dog handler. I am confident with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a dog mama of two, I’d love to host pups in my home so they have a home away from home when you are away! I am a full time stay at home mom to a toddler. My availability is very flexible and I am happy to accommodate various scheduling needs! I have a fully fenced in, large back yard for your dog to roam and explore. Happy to house dogs as if they’re at home, they are able to sleep in my room with me, or if you’re more comfortable, my spare room or living area. I encourage those who use crates at home to bring the crate with you for the most familiar and comfortable stay possible.

“Patricia and Cory were great hosts to Bentley! They are kind and welcoming Rovers, who, with their own dogs are clearly loving and passionate about animals. I highly recommend working with Patricia and Cory for your animal needs! Five stars across the board!”

“Brooke was very helpful on short notice and the puppies enjoyed going. I appreciated the photos she sent during the day to let me know they were doing ok!”

“Trisha is amazing! She was able to accommodate me very last minute to help me out, and Hazel had a great day! So many pictures and videos - it was wonderful! People in the area are very lucky to have her services.”

Denise B.

“Sarah was prompt and friendly and easily warmed up to my dog, Eddie. Our interactions on and off the app have been pleasant and she’s been helpful. She walked Eddie as requested, even in the cold and wind! We will be setting up weekly walks with Sarah for sure!”

About: My family got our first dog when I was 6 years old so I’ve always loved them and been around them. I started really taking care of dogs about 9 years ago, and 6 years ago got my own - a playful and sweet female Cane Corso runt. I also have a 3 y/o Australian Shepherd, who belongs to my fiance. I truly believe that dogs are not only a man’s best friend, but family. I have always treated them with the utmost care, love and respect, which I hope to give to your pup during our walks together. I work part-time and my job is flexible, so I have lots of time to dog walk, especially in the mornings which is when I take my pups for walks. They especially love MacElmon’s Pond, Brookfield Wetlands and the Wentworth Provincial Park Loop. I have an unfenced yard with a ground spike and two 30ft metal leashes for tying dogs out back. I also have lots of dog toys like ropes, balls and frisbees, and of course treats for training.

About: I love all sized and tempered dogs! As a tech student I have the ability to medicate, train and bath/ groom with nothing but love I’m currently a student full time so my schedule varies but reach out and I’m sure I can make it work! Cant wait to chat! I have a very overly playful puppy so I am a great place if you have a high energy dog loving dog or cat! Also have a kitten who is very out of the way and barely a bother!
