Dog Boarding in Sydney

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and even a rabbit! Growing up with pets taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood to their senior years and currently share my home with two cats and a rabbit. I understand the unique needs of each pet, from playful energy to quiet cuddles, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medication, and providing safe, loving companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a gentle snuggle, or someone to match their zoomie energy—I’ve got it covered! I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute bookings. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long stroll, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where they’ll feel right at home. I always follow pet parent instructions carefully and make sure your furry friend gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether we’re going for a walk or hanging out at home, I’m mindful, gentle, and fully present. You can relax knowing your pet is in safe, trustworthy hands.

“Heather was super atencious and helped us during our trip, since we wanted to visit a place that doesn’t allowed dogs. So if you want to check the Louisbourg fortress, I highly recommend her! She send me photos of Lily, that was super happy with the stay, thank you Heather!”

About: I am trustworthy and reliable with a love for pets. We spoil our animals and always stop to say hi to pets we meet when out and about. We have a mature well behaved German shepherd/husky mix and a younger orange cat. Growing up with pets and having so many pets in our families have given us diverse understanding of pets and their behaviors. I have volunteered transporting shelter dogs in the past as well. I have some extra time these days and it would be rewarding and fun to help with other folks pets. I’m currently working on some projects for myself so I can make some free time when needed most of the time. Ask and we can hopefully work something out. We have a pet proof home as well as a yard that is surrounded by forest all the way around. Will use a leash always when outdoors.

“Trying to find a dog sitter for a puppy is hard. Jay had no hesitation accepting my puppy into her home. Sent updates, pics and videos while she was in her care. Puppy’s can be hard work but she made it look easy. Introduced our puppy to a cat which was nice. She has been around other dogs so knowing she can be around cats is nice. I had to extend my stay, and Jay was flexible and available to meet my last minute needs.”

About: Growing up with dogs has been an incredible joy, and I genuinely love caring for them. They bring immense happiness and fulfillment to my life! For the past 4 years, I’ve proudly volunteered with Eldor Dogs, helping seniors by walking and caring for their furry companions. It’s such a rewarding experience! I would love to do a pet sitting at YOUR home, but I can't do it at my home as the building doesn't allow pets. I work full-time from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, but I can be flexible outside those hours depending on the season! Occasionally, I even have some free time during the day to take care of your dogs. I’m genuinely excited to help you out! I can drive your dog to explore Cape Breton, taking them to all their favorite spots for walks and fun! Plus, I come fully prepared with a clean vulnerable sector check and criminal record check from my volunteering with Eldor Dog and my job with the children’s hospital.

About: My family has always had cats, dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters growing up. Friends and neighbour's have had snakes and ferrets that I've spent time with as well. I've worked with therapy animals to support children with various abilities and behaviors and just generally am an animal lover. I would love to have a big farm one day and have an animal sanctuary and just let all the pups and cats live their best lives. I have taught cats and dogs tricks over the years (yes cats!) And am very proud of the tricks they have learned :) I would love to be able to provide you with the peace of mind knowing that your animals are in good hands while you're away. I work from home during the weel and can potentially provide support at lunch time if you're in my area. I can take care of your animals on weekends and in the evenings during the week. I have a cat and dog who cohabitate, neither are allowed on the couch/bed and have their own spots to relax. If you are open to having your dog play with ours we would be happy to do so as Rocco is so gentle and loves to play with friends of all sizes

About: I have a house full of fluff! Multi-dog home with big and small, male and female. Have done puppyhood and adopted adult dogs. Have cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits as well, and so am experienced with them, too! I worked as a pet trainer with PetSmart, interacting with dogs of all ages and breeds. I loved my job and helping other pet parents learn to be great communicators with their dogs and advocate for them! I have a specialist honours degree in Comparative Physiology from the University of Toronto, with a major in Biological Anthropology and minor in Psychology. I’ve graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and am a practicing Chiropractor in Sydney. I am a practicing Chiropractor in Sydney. My schedule is quite flexible and my longest shift is typically 6hrs. I am happy to take on booking requests that fit well within my schedule. I prioritize learning the routine and norms of your pet (including cues/commands, preferences, medications, etc) that will ensure their comfort and consistency. I believe in being an effective communicator and our pets best advocate. I am continuously researching and learning how to improve as a pet parent and trainer. I do my best to ensure they receive good nutrition, activities, and rest. Understanding the breed(s) and the individual dog has helped me build great relationships with each individual pet.
