“Erica did a wonderful job doing drop-in visits for my cat (who is quite needy). Erica was on time or early, plus provided thorough updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thanks Erica!”


“Katherine is a star! She took great care of my 2 cats for a week. She made my vacation completely stress free; we’ve never left our cats alone. She sent me regular updates and pictures of the cats. Would definitely recommend her if you want your fur babies in excellent hands.”


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.

“We were so nervous about leaving our cat, Mystique, for the first time—especially since she’s usually very shy around new people. But Tera completely put our minds at ease. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and professional. She took the time to really understand Mystique's needs and quirks, which meant so much to us. Tera went above and beyond during every visit. She was incredibly communicative, even going out of her way to send us updates and pictures—despite us having bad cell service and not always being able to respond. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable Mystique became with her! It’s clear Tera has a natural connection with animals and truly cares about their wellbeing. She was also super reliable and thoughtful, even keeping an eye on the weather to make sure she could safely make it to all her appointments with Mystique. That extra level of care and planning did not go unnoticed. We can’t thank Tera enough for making a stressful situation feel so much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable, and truly exceptional pet sitter.”


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.

“Jay was an excellent cat sitter for my two diabetic kitties! Having someone so friendly and competent really put my mind at ease. She even gave them toys and treats as a gift. Would highly recommend!”


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.

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.

“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.”
