House Sitting in West Halifax

“We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.”

“Ayden did a great job with the animals and house sitting. Both our dog and cat seemed very comfortable with him. Loved that we got pics and updates. Would highly recommend him as your next pet sitter.”

About: I have lived with a variety of animals, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, parrots, and rabbits. I have done several years of pet sitting for family and friends, and am looking for more pet sitting opportunities while I return for nursing school. I am currently at school part time, and am free most of the week to watch pets, house sit, or go for walks with pups. I have a fenced in yard and rural walking area with hiking trails for walking outdoors. I am also free to travel to homes and stay with pets as long as needed. Any accommodations I can work with, whatever works for you and your pet.

“Haley did a great job taking care of our cats while we are away. One our cats got sick while we were away and she provided us with details updates and pictures to make sure we knew what was going on.”

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for many years of my adult life. I've regularly taken my friends and housemates dogs for runs, hikes, and even watched them for weekends at a time. I enjoy the company of dogs and have a natural affinity for them. I have flexible availability due to working part time from home. I live with my partner in a house that we have all to ourselves, close to many fun hiking and nature spots for dogs to enjoy! Currently working part time and hoping to fill the rest of my time caring for your pets! I have rejoined rover recently to prioritize pet care at this time :) I have a safe and cozy home environment, and am very respectful while in others homes, always hoping to leave it a little better than I found. Either that be a little tidier, a kind note, or a snack, for either humans or pets!

About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any special needs they have, I will take care of them all! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 9pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon til Sunday night so I can do overnight too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on.

About: Experienced pet-sitter with a widely flexible schedule available for any needs you may have for your pet! On top of pet-sitting and day trip/walking experience I have experience as an assistant groomer from working for The Green Groomer in Northampton, MA which you are welcome to get in touch with as a reference. I also worked at a Dog Daycare in the Boston area before moving to Western MA, where I was involved with many responsibilities surrounding the pups including providing their meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, de-escalation of conflict, and general moderation of behavior. Working in this field has granted me the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes and has taught me how to interact with pups from all walks of life. On top of that I have experience with bathing, nails, and ear cleanings from my time at the Green Groomer. My schedule is extremely flexible, with open availability during the week before 3PM, making check-ins during the work day hassle free, and my shift never getting out later than 10:30PM, so overnight boardings are still not a problem during my work week. I also have Friday-Sundays off so long weekend boardings are always an option. Please let me know in advance of any house rules for your pup (i.e furniture rules, dietary restrictions, routine scheduling) and I will be sure to follow them with the same consistency you would. In regards to boarding with me they would be boarded in a pet-free, smoke-free, child-free condo with a large unfenced yard in the back for leashed outings when needed!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, dogs are more than just pets they are a big part of our families. I treat every animal like it is my own. I am currently working until about 2pm during the week, but I am able to pivot my schedules if needed with a four day notice. I can take care of pets in the clients home. I can walk, bathe, give medication if needed. I will treat their home like it’s my own and ensure your animal is comfo And loved!

“James was wonderful! Responsible, shared photos of my pets, left the house exactly as he found it; my dog and cat were happy and well cared-for!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, same goes for cats. I grew up with multiple dogs, cats, a tortoise, and several rabbits. I work part time for the Recreation department as an After School Group Leader. Any time outside of 2pm-6pm on weekdays I can be there for your pet! I have been pet sitting independently for several years now, caring for anywhere between 3-7 cats at once and multiple dogs as well. My time management and customer (or fur baby) service is unmatched.

About: Hi! I'm Nicole. I'm a software developer & animal lover. I've been around dogs since I was little and have always wanted to adopt one. Caring for dogs with busy owners is a great compromise! Dog owners will love that I will treat their furry pal as if they were mine. They will also love that I have private outdoor space for playtime, anytime, and am right next to central park so there's alot of ground for your furry friend to explore! I truely care about your pets well being so I am consistent with feeding time and will always make sure your furry friend is comfortable, whether its brushing her or refilling her water bowl. I am available Wednesdays and the Weekends for pet sitting, walking, and house sitting. If you are going away for a weekend and need someone to house & pet sit, I'm your girl!

“John dog sat for us when we went away for 8 days. Maggie was well taken care of. He sent us pictures with updates every day without fail. He was very accommodating the last day when our plane was delayed, and he offered to take care of Maggie for an additional night!”

“Leona was great with our boxer, Brussel Sprout. She was very responsive and let us know of any issues so we could help her out while we were away!”

“Lizzie was great with the dogs and everyone was happy on our return. Lizzie was on time and dependable. Everyone was loved as one of her own. I would definitely recommend.”

About: I've taken care of big dogs, small dogs, in between dogs. I've taken care of young kitties, mature kitties, and elder kitties. They all were adored by me. I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to be present for the needs of those I'm caring for. Working this way allows for a more spacious and flexible day and week. I am easily adaptable and can work within the needs of the homes I visit. Every home and every care situation is unique and requires fluidity.

“Trista stayed overnight with our fur babies. She was so good with our 3 dogs. She put our mind at ease. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day. The pups were happy too :) Will definitely book again.”

“Matt and Ziggy had a great time together while I was out of town for the weekend. Matt was also a great housesitter; he left my place spotless.”

About: I’m an out of state student from Texas looking for extra work! I’m hardworking, reliable, and empathetic- when I commit to a job, you can count on me consistently. I’ve done lots of pet sitting/dog walking throughout western MA, and I’m experienced with following specific care routines for pets with health concerns. I have two dogs at home, so I truly understand the importance of dependable care and regular communication! I am currently a student, so I’ve found pet sitting/dog walking to work great for my routine. My on campus job is in short shifts, so I wouldn’t need to be away for extended periods of time if I am pet sitting. I find it very important that even if the owners are away and their pets are very active, they should remain active and stick to their routines. Making sure they’re comfortable is the most important thing, especially when their family isn’t home!

About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of my own since I am old enough now. I watch dogs and cats for my neighbors and grandparents. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs and walking them and throwing the ball. I have cat sit before and was really easy and fun to me! My schedule is kind of wonky right now as I am in college, but I am free on weekends and some weekdays whenever you might need me! My dog takes meds right now for seizures so I am experienced at giving dogs medicine. Very responsible animal lover I have always had animals in my life. I am good about having the house clean when there’s a fluffy shedding dog in it.
