Dog Boarding in Truro

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the combination of genuine love, professional care, and personalized attention I bring to every animal I care for. I treat each pet as if they were my own—tuning into their individual needs, personalities, and routines to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. With a background in pet sitting, walking, and overnight care, I bring more than just a watchful eye—I bring experience, intuition, and the ability to respond calmly and confidently in any situation. Reliability, communication, and trust are at the heart of my service. I keep pet parents updated with photos, messages, and reports, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or extra cuddle time, I go the extra mile to make every visit meaningful. Animals feel that difference—and so do their owners. Right now, I’m fully available, which means pet care is my top priority and focus. I have the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules, whether that’s early morning walks, midday visits, or overnight stays. This open availability allows me to be responsive, consistent, and adaptable to each pet’s routine and any last-minute needs that may come up. Because I’m not balancing other major commitments, I’m able to give each animal the time, energy, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s sticking to a strict medication schedule, providing companionship throughout the day, or making sure pets get the exercise and stimulation they need, I’m available to meet those needs with care and dedication. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is always centered around creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment where animals feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. In My Home: I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of comfort, enrichment, and supervision. I make sure each pet has their own area to relax, play, and feel secure—especially important for those who are shy or need quiet time. I maintain a clean, structured environment, and stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, exercise, and medications if needed. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddles are all part of the care I provide. In a Client’s Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all routines exactly as instructed to reduce stress and keep things as familiar as possible. I treat the home with the utmost respect and keep it tidy and secure. Whether it’s multiple daily visits or overnight stays, I provide companionship, exercise, and attentive care, while keeping pet parents updated regularly with photos and notes. No matter the setting, I’m committed to giving pets the same level of love, safety, and attention they’d get from their own family.

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember - usually, dogs and cats. However, I also have experience with fish, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and horses from over the years. I worked as a professional, licensed pet sitter in Ottawa, ON for approximately two years while completing a bachelors degree and, as such, I have been certified in pet first aid through St John's Ambulance and have experience with providing basic pet medication. During that time, I was always noted as trustworthy, flexible, and communicative. Now, I work full-time from home as a web developer with my own "mini zoo" of animals - one small dog, two cats, and a couple corn snakes. For new clients, I highly prefer (free of charge) meet and greets for boarding situations, to ensure compatibility between my dog and yours. He's friendly and loves to play, but he's small and his safety needs to be a consideration, especially when it comes to larger dogs! I also do photography and would be happy to arrange a small photo session during your pet's time with me! Let me know! My standard business hours for my full-time job are 7:30 to 3:00 on weekdays, and so my availability for drop-in visits and dog walks will work around that - 3:30pm or later on weekdays, or any time on weekends. However, as I work from home, my boarding availability is much more flexible and is typically available any time. With all services, you will get daily notes on what was done, including times I was present (for non-boarding situations), any issues that we had, and highlights of the day. These can be written for you to read on your return or texted to you, per your preference. For boarding stays, dogs will be brought out to do their business as frequently as they require. I work from home and am rarely out of the house for more than 3-4 hours on days I do go out, so pets will get plenty of attention! Number of walks can be decided upon on a per-client basis and will be either in the fields behind my house or include car trips to nicer trails. I will generate a checklist of care requirements to follow for your pet's stay that will be provided to you upon return so you can confirm that I have followed your instructions. As for drop-in visits, I can accommodate most requests, including check-ins on other pets (such as fish, reptiles, birds, etc), during this time, as well as small housekeeping tasks, such as watering plants and taking out the garbage. I will generate a checklist for each visit and leave it with your daily notes so you can have confirmation I have completed your requests. For dog walks, all walks will be individual and in your neighbourhood. On days when the weather is too bad to safely bring your dog on their walk, unless cancelled by you, I will still come and will find other exercise options for your dog, such as playing in the yard or participating in some mental exercise in the house (dependent on the extremity of the weather).

“Nataliya was an amazing find - I feel so lucky to have found her! She loved my pup Rusty like he was her own. She made him comfortable even though this was his first time away from us and we were gone for 4 weeks. Two walks a day and so much pampering I think he had a great time. She kept me updated with daily photos so I never worried. Her property is perfect for dogs. Highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.”

“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:)”

About: I treat your fur family members like my own. I have a hobby farm on 36 acres in rural NS. This spring a 40ftx50ft fenced yard was installed which is attached to our home. There is also a are currently 50ftx150ft fenced yard which is not attached to our home. I have over 13 years experience working in the animal/veterinary industry. In August 2024 I followed my dream to open my own business, Country Dogs Daycare. My focus is on my business. I am still casual in the veterinary industry but main focus is on my business and being home with the dogs 🐾 I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs. Darby is a pug, Paisley is a doodle. Our family also consists of 2 cats and a our son. All pets are cared for like family and treated as if they are our own. They have full access to our home, they are fed twice daily (more if requested), and always have fresh water. A lot of our time is spent outdoors and we enjoy/allow couch cuddles 💕

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!
