House Sitting in Halifax

Viridiane was an absolute dream! She stayed at our house and took care of one dog and three cats with the best care. We have a cat that lets very few people get near her and V was able to pet her by the second day. She sent numerous updates and pictures a day which helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again.

Meredith was wonderful with Wallaby during our first multi-day trip away from him. Wallaby can be an anxious pup and sometimes takes time to warm up to new people, but he connected with Meredith quickly. Within the first day, he was comfortable enough for belly rubs and sleeping peacefully. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout the week, which was incredibly reassuring while we were away. She handled his routine well, including his walks and medications, and was thoughtful about keeping him comfortable. She was also flexible and adjusted her plans so Wallaby wouldn’t have to spend extra time alone. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and it was clear he had been well cared for. We would absolutely book with Meredith again and highly recommend her.

We needed a petsitter to stay at our house while we were away for 8 days. This was our first trip away from our dogs (rescues adopted in December and January). One dog takes a little while to warm up to new people (and she acts like she might eat them until she gets used to them). The other dog is VERY ENERGETIC and tends to get into trouble if left unsupervised for extended amounts of time. I read through Rover reviews for petsitters who would stay at house and James had excellent reviews even from owners with difficult dogs. We really appreciated him coming to our house not once but twice. for everyone to get more comfortable with each other before our trip. The "slow to warm up to new people" dog adopted James as her new parent and the rambunctious dog was renamed "Crazy" by him. (I think he means it in an endearing way?). Anyway, we were very happy w/ James and all not hesitate to used him again!

Mardi was great with Jenny. She took her time and let Jenny warm up to her so she'd feel safe. She sent photos of Jenny and updates during our overnight away. Mardi was also very flexible when we decided to come home a day early. Good grief, our house looked pristine!

Emilee once again was really great to take care of our house and our Goldendoodle, who could have cared less that we were leaving when she saw Emilee. Our house was very neat when we got home.
