“Tara and Jason were extra patient with my 18 month old pup. Bowser had an amazing time going on adventures and playing with their sweet dog, Stark. They sent regular updates and I felt very comfortable knowing that Bowser was receiving the best care and getting lots of love and attention.”

“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.”

About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.

“Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!”

“Caissie was welcomed by Jennifer and her family into their home. Lots of walks and play time with her dog Navy. Jennifer sent us regular updates and photos which was appreciated. I would not hesitate to leave Caissie with Jennifer again.”

“Our girls were well cared for by Adrianne. Our youngest had never been left before but within days Adrianne had her settled and comfortable. I would highly recommend her as a border.”

“Mark & Evangeline were awesome with Zimba. They took very good care of him for the 2 weeks that we were away, and made him a part of their family. They sent us daily updates with pictures and short videos. They gave Zimba his medication in a timely manner, and followed his regular routine. When we picked him up we noticed that he was happy and well taken care of. Mark & Evangeline are the best sitters we have had so far and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely keep Zimba with them in the future. Thank you Mark & Evangeline! 🥰”

“Our little, senior dog, Lily, was well cared for, happy and content staying with Ryan. He understood her limitations but still took her on her much loved walks. He was very caring and loving towards her.”

Joe V.

“Nataliya & Jason were awesome with our Kaiser. They treated him like one of their family and spoiled him so much with walks, car rides, homemade food and the dog park, we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home with us. They sent us daily updates and pictures, which is always appreciated. We would definitely recommend Nataliya and Jason 100%. You can’t go wrong. Thanks very much for your special love and care of Kaiser.”

“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.”

Kim M.

“Margaret was great with my anxious dog, Ollie. She looked after her for the weekend and I felt sure Ollie was in good hands with someone who could manage multiple dogs and make sure everyone was getting along.”

Isaac W.

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Claire as our dog sitter! She took care of our dog, Renly, for two weeks and went above and beyond in every way. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves dogs. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates and photos of Renly having the best time playing, relaxing, and looking completely at home on her lap. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We joked that Renly might not want to come home! It’s was such a relief to know we had someone we can trust completely with him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”

“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 🙂”

“Jessica had our dogs for over three weeks and we could not have found a better caregiver for them. We got regular updates on their various activities. She was very attentive to their specific needs, and the dogs came home happy and healthy. Could not recommend her more!”

“Kimberly was amazing. She helped us out on short notice over the holidays and she was great with our dog Pevy. We will for sure be using Kimberly for any future dog sitting needs.”

“We truly found the best care for our dog Sully with Deanna. His care was second to none, she kept us updated with messages & photos & you could just see how relaxed he was. We cannot wait to rebook with her in the future for Sully!”

Emily. her husband and children went above and beyond and even had a birthday party for Coco while we were away! Highly recommend Emily! 💕 Huge animal lover and it was very evident how much she loves animals. 💗 Thanks so much!”
