With over 10 years of hands-on experience in dog walking, grooming, and pet care, I’ve dedicated my life to making sure every pup I meet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I offer dog walking, grooming, day care out of my home and drop-in check-ins, tailored to fit your dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special care needs. I’m also experienced in administering medication and handling anxious or reactive dogs with patience and compassion. Whether it’s a quick walk, a fresh groom, or just some love and attention while you’re away, your dog will be treated like family with me. I truly love dogs with my whole heart, and it shows in everything I do.💕🐶🐾 I am currently doing dog grooming from out of my house so I am free really any time of the day during the week and same going with the weekend i update my calendar every week so it is always up to date ! My house is away from the road and not near a main road at all we have a fenced in backyard. I have 2 dogs of my own that will be separated from all dogs at all times and a whole back room int the house with big comfy dog crates if they were needed to be crated. If i were to come to your home and take care of pets I will always supervise and keep your pup company with toys provided!

“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed. Our pup is known to have some undesirable behavior on walks, and Emily came a few days early to meet her, learn her nuances and took notes so she was prepared to manage it. Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

“Crystal is wonderful with our sweet and grumbly dog Jack who immediately warmed to her kind presence. She’s punctual and has great communication and we’re delighted to have found her. We highly recommend working with Crystal!”

“Nicole has walked my dog several times and has been wonderful! She took the time to ask about my dog’s needs/behaviors before our weekly walks started. She sends detailed reports after each walk, which I appreciate. She is very caring and responsible and I trust her to take good care of my dog. I highly recommend Nicole!”

About: Love both cats and dogs. Love both species..I am available from Nov. 15th thru May 1st in Florida and in MA from May 15th thru October 31st.. I have a very good repour with both cats and dogs. All my neighbors have animals, mostly dogs, and they all have taken to me. People that have animals need someone to care for their pets and love their pets just as much as the owners due and it's very important to find those special type of people and I think that I am one of those persons. Love them all and care for them like their human beings and sometime they are! My daily routine depends on what the animal requires of me. Walking is very important to a dog and they like to get out and smell their surroundings. I will take dogs out if needed by the clients during the day or whenever needed by them. Two to three times a day if needed

I have a nice set up in my home and I have a fenced in yard so it feels a lot safer and private :) I have a quiet neighborhood and lots of places to walk ! I always provide lots of photos and constant communication with pet owners. I also helped my mom board dogs growing up so I also have experience in that as well. I’m currently in school and have mostly online classes so I’m pretty flexible. I also have a car that I can transport if need be. I love walking them and letting them play outside in the fenced yard!

About: Certified "Fur Grammy" and the go-to for any pet related questions. I have been caring for not only my own but my kids dogs for as long as I can remember. I have fostered just about any pet including goats, sheep, ponies, dogs... I love all animals (maybe more than humans, shh!) and my life has always revolved around pets. My current household includes a 9 year old male mutt, Diddy. He is friendly and playful but appreciates his snuggle time as well. Have experience with various breeds including Bullies, St Bernards, Spaniels, you name it ! I am very flexible and available for any pet needs. My pup rarely goes more than 2 hours alone, if ever, and neither will your dog. I have a fenced in yard, that has been safe for 13 sheep, 2 goats, a pony and 4 dogs all at one time. I live next to expansive conservation land with a wonderful trail through the woods for the dogs. We truly feel our home is the perfect set up for pets & have homed & baby sat & fostered many wonderful animals here. I hope to add your pet to that list!
About: Hello friends! My name is Taylor and I am 32 years old. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I’m lucky enough to fill that space by caring for a wide variety of other people’s pets and giving them my full attention. With six years of experience pet sitting, I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, bunnies, fish, and chickens. I also spent 5 years in the Plymouth County 4-H program, where I trained, groomed, showed, and cared for dogs throughout Massachusetts. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior and follow structured routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy taking the time to learn what makes them happy. While your pet is in my care, you can expect regular updates along with photos/videos. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re away. I work full-time as a 911 operator. This schedule includes weeknight shifts from 4pm-12am, excluding Fridays. Because of this, I usually suggest that your animal is accustomed to time apart or there’s someone who’s available to check in while I’m working. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible to keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner.
“Abhay has had 5 visits with Peach and will be coming regularly. Abhay has been wonderful with Peach. He is patient and kind with Peach. Peach has a history of abuse and is very fearful of strangers but she is comfortable and happy to see him”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Halifax. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Halifax.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Halifax. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
