Pet care experience

Dogs and Cats Rock my World! 🐾

Animals have always been a part of my life... labs, fox terriers, mixed breed and so many cats. I have walked, run, fed, cared (cleaned teeth as a former hygienist). As my grandmother said, "the world would be a better place with only animals".

Doggy Day Care • Jun 14, 2026

Unfortunately, my overall experience with Norma was negative. Although I thought my puppy was safe with her, she was not at home each evening when I picked up my puppy. Her partner was with my dog instead. Norma is the person on Rover, not her partner. She did take my puppy out for a walk each day, which was appreciated. I asked questions before hiring her of what I needed as to the hours, and she accepted them. Then the next day she complained about the money and the hours she needed to take care of my puppy. She became nasty in her texts to me which was completely unacceptable and unprofessional; I was paying for her service. I felt that taking care of my puppy was inconvenient or a burden to her. She was never happy to see my puppy in the mornings, and was not there when I picked my puppy after work. Her partner was. Because she complained about the money, I gave her another fifty dollars cash which is not part of Rover's services and should not have had to pay. I don't recommend her services at all. It did not seem to matter when an agreement is made. I do not feel confident that she will comply to those terms without nasty texts afterwards. Her partner made excuses for her negative texts. This is just my experience. Perhaps your experience will be different. I used another puppy sitter from Rovers for the next two days. The new young lady was ecstatic to be taking care of my puppy and told me that she loved the breed and couldn't wait to meet her. When I dropped her off this lady picked her up and held her right away and cuddled her. I would look for someone else in the future.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog and cat. The backyard is fenced in and I live near many parks including Point Pleasant. I have a reliable car and have lived in Halifax most of my life.

A typical day

Point Pleasant Park is nearby as well as Gorsebrook Park on Inglis and Robie. I enjoy taking different routes to keep the dogs engaged. It's important to mark your scent on every tree!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences. Some dogs enjoy busy areas while others are nervous of vehicles, etc. I aim to please.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
