About: 5+ years of providing excellent care to loved ones pets. Passionate animal lover with a flexible schedule to adapt to you and your pets needs. Experience administering medication to senior pets. Lover of all pets! I currently work about 25-30 hours a week. I can be available early morning (7-9am), evenings 4-9pm) and weekends with the possibility for some afternoons upon request. I live in a rural area with plenty of open space for your pet to run and play as well as a fenced in area to ensure safety and peace of mind. My pet’s are always closely supervised and tended to immediately should any issues occur.
“Jay was prompt in their responses and they left our worried minds at ease. It was great to know that they had so much knowledge about animals, I had no concerns leaving our 3 cats in their care. They gave us updates and photos while we were away. I would recommend Jay without hesitation and will be using their services again in the future!”
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: Hi, my name is Grace Le. I grew up in a family in which dogs and cats are important members. Totally I had 4 cats and 5 dogs in different sizes and breeds across 25+ years, so I am patient, caring, and know how to make little angels happy (Actually they make me happy more!). Having a own little house with a fenced garden right in the Pier allows me to give our lovely dogs more fun time. My busy schedule does not allow me to have my own pets now, but I have more than enough love to cuddle and play with any dogs and cats who love to visit. Welcome! Currently, I work at Regional Hospital, and I would love to dedicate my free time to take care of pets as these services: 1. Boarding: I am more than happy to welcome your cute pets to come and sleep over. There is no pet in my place, so all are theirs :). You only need to bring your pets' favorite food (or any toy that they love) and let me know their usual feeding time. I can update you with their photos/videos via message (and let them video call with you) if you want to. 2. Daycare (Weekend and Holiday only): I will provide your pets with feeding, playing, cuddling, and walking 2 times per day. All are with love and care. I live in a house with no pets and no kids in the house, and full of room in the garden for them to play around.
About: Reactive dog? Fearful? Stubborn? Old and sore? Young and in-training? All dogs can benefit from my therapeutic approach. If you have a hard time trusting others with your animals because of all size, age, ability, or needs, look no further. I’m here to help. I currently work at an animal shelter and regularly interact with and take care of dogs, cats, and other furry critters. I also am a graduate of Behavioural Science Technology and a positive-reinforcement, force-free dog trainer. Let me know how best I can be of service to you and your furry companions! Whenever I'm not taking care of the animals at the shelter, I am available to take care of your animals: to check up on them, let them out for potty breaks, or take them for satisfying walks and enriching engagement. It’s important that I have all the pertinent information in order to care best for your companions. Having animals of my own, I will always bring my best for your furry friends.
“Simply amazing! My pets loved Mekeena and she was so informative, keeping me up to date on how the week was going while she took care of my 4 fur babies. 2 dogs and 2 cats. Mekeena truly went above and beyond from the start. She took the time to get to know the pets and gather any and all information relative to providing the best care while I was away. I instantly was ready to book her again for any pet sitting needs for the future! I would definitely recommend her and rebook!”

“Samantha provided excellent care for my senior dog and two cats while I was on vacation. She made sure that all of their needs were met, and most importantly administered my dog’s medications properly and responsibly. I found Samantha to be kind, compassionate, and very communicative while she was caring for my animals. I was extremely pleased with the level of care she showed them and my home, and will contact Samantha when I need another sitter.”
