“Trisha was awesome! She sent many updates, videos and pictures. My dogs were well taken care of and would definitely use her again. Highly recommend:)”
“Tori, Chris and Griffin took great care of Gussie, kept us updated with pictures and videos and most of all made it possible for us to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in such kind, caring hands. We’d have absolutely no hesitation requesting another stay with this lovely family! Highly recommend!”
About: I was raised around dogs and cats my entire life, all of them are and will always be family. During those happy moments with beloved pets, or during sick days and emergencies, taking care of our furry friends and family has always been a huge and important part of my life. Be it a puppy, a kitten, or an older buddy/lady, being able to pay attention to the little details to make sure that they are comfortable and well taken care of is something that I value and take into account always. We have a big house for your furry friend to have plenty of space to play and lounge. Ask me about the different pets I have had and taken care of, I'll go off rambling :) I currently work from home and have a lot of downtime during the day. We live in a big house with plenty of space for your pet to explore and have fun. On top of that we have a wonderful yard where your dog can play with my dog and become friends! For boarding services, our house is very clean and cozy and we can provide a comfortable bed for even the largest dog, as well as toys and fun stuff! Wether you prefer for your dog to have individual walks, or with other dogs at the same time can be arranged. There is a dedicated grooming room where I would be able to provide baths and even some simple hair trimming. For dog walks and house visits, all the same applies, I enjoy just making sure that our furry friends are happy and well taken care of, so you can rest assured that your pet will be in good hands.
“Our baby had a lovely time at her overnight stay! Stacey provided a lot of video and photo updates and her pup got along just fine with ours! I would definitely recommend her services and would use her again if we are in the area😊”
“Amazing pet sitters, they updated us without asking which made us feel confident our arlo was having a great vacation. This was a great experience, where they asked all the questions when we got there, and showed us where our dog would be staying. We got so lucky being able to book these two to take arlo for the weekend, 100% recommend these two to pet sit for you!”
About: Hey folks! I'm a 27 year old, pet lovin' gal in the rural northern region of Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm a dog lover, with my own rescue pup, Tequila (the best foster fail a girl could ask for). I've also grew up in the country & cared for small farms with chickens, ducks & horses. Whilst completing my Social Work degree, I worked at Pet Valu and completed over 40 hours of pet nutrition training from the University of California. I've administered oral & topical medicine, cut nails (on dogs & chickens) and have years of experience to help your pup be the most comfortable it can be whilst you're away. I've been on Rover for the last four-five years picking up housesitting, dog sitting & walking gigs whenever my partner and I have the time. My longest gig has been two months, with three Labrador Retrievers (all which required orally given medication and needles) - which has been a repeat customer over 5 times each ranging from 2 weeks - 2 months. Our dog, Tequila will be in the home. I have trained with multiple rescues & with very reactive dogs. I feel confident that reactive dogs will get along with my girl with proper & slow introductions. I’m also in favour to do a meet and greet to start the transition & to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone involved. I have a deep, grassy yard with shade from an apple orchard and a deck where the pups can sunbathe. Dogs, with trained recall can run loose in the yard, and will spend time out here on lovely summer days if they'd like. Dogs who need a little help with a long lead for safety can be tied up while we enjoy some sun time. I work from home & occasionally leave for field work (4-5 hours max, a few times a week). Schedule: Morning wake up @ 8am Let outside, time for morning business! WFH - noon. Let out for a lunch pee break & sunbathe outside for the hour! WFH - dinner Let out for a pee break & play sesh Relax for the evening! Let out for a pee break around 9:30/10 We currently only offer boarding & pet day care in our home. We have an unfenced large yard & can provide a long, tied lead for outside play if needed. Our dog, Tequila would be happy to play with your pup & show them the ropes to rural living!

3. Eduardo S.
“Eduardo has a knack for dogs. He comes from a big family of dog lovers - He's always had a patient, loving relationship with dogs. He also is super meticulous and keeps the doggos under a watchful eye. Eduardo was probably a dog in his past life because I've never met another dog that doesn't instantly warm up to him. Whenever my dog goes to visit Eduardo, she starts yelping and barking out of excitement. Dogs are the best judge of character - and mine approves!”

“Taylor is a very soft spoken, kind hearted individual, she loves animals & nature, she has stayed at my home during a family vacation and I knew my 2 labs were in good hands.
