Dog Sitters in Clayton Park

We couldn’t have been happier with Paw Quest Petcare. They looked after our 3 cats (with behavioural issues and requiring medication) and our gecko for two weeks, and when we returned the house looked great, and our creature family seemed relaxed and happy. I loved getting pictures and updates with every visit. Adam, Brittany, and the rest of the team did an amazing job. I highly recommend them. They were amazing! I’ve attached some of the lovely photos we received. If you’re on the fence, hire them - you won’t regret it.

Paw Quest- simply the best! Know your furry friends are receiving the best of care in your absence. Our cat was royally pampered for the last six days. Love the updates and photos supplied with each visit. Recommend highly

They took care of my diabetic cat with twice daily shots for five days. One of the owners met with me before a trip and gave all the details I needed to feel confidant with their service. Each day I was provided with pictures and updates of the services they did that visit. They were accommodating to my pets schedule and always did extra with their time, such as grooming or cleaning. The owner even recommended a shorter visit with a lesser fee than what I had expected. From start to finish the experience was excellent. I would definitely use the service again and would recommend their service to other pet owners.

The care team at Paw Quest are excellent.They allow the pet owners to have peace of mind knowing the “ fur babies “ are in good, capable, caring hands.They followed feeding directions to a tee and administered pills as asked.Love the photos taken at each visit.I trust them completely with our cat care:/house duties. Highly recommended Paw Quest

Had a great experience with Paw Quest recently after they looked after our sweet cat, Angus. They provided timely updates and photos while we were away. We loved how streamlined everything was; from creating an online profile with detailed instructions to easy online payments and scheduling. We’ll be booking more services with Paw Quest in the future!

Paw Quest Petcare is my go-to for anytime we go away and we need reliable and knowledgeable people to look after our two cats. Our fur babies can be pretty needy for human company and attention, but Brittany, Adam, and the whole Paw Quest team are absolutely incredible in the care they provide. It is clear how devoted the whole team is, and how much they love animals, as they treat your pets like family. While we are away, we are provided with updates and photos of how the day went and it always warms my heart to see how much love and attention our girls get. The app they have also makes scheduling visits super easy. If you are planning on going away and can't bring your fur babies with you, don't hesitate to contact Paw Quest Petcare. It's the best decision you can make and gives you the ease of mind knowing your pets will be showered with love while you are away.

We cannot recommend PawQuest highly enough! They are an incredible team of knowledgeable and caring individuals who provided the best care to our family’s four dogs for over 12 hours on our wedding day. Ashley was so kind and helpful— she made sure all of the dogs had everything they needed, including administering medicine and spending quality time with each pet (she even went above and beyond to set up scavenger hunts to keep the dogs entertained!). We will definitely be using PawQuest services in the future! 🐶

We have used Paw Quest twice so far and have had wonderful, stress-free experiences each time. Paw Quest's professional staff went out of their way to make sure our two cats were well looked after in the comfort of our own home. They had ample food, water and tickles and kept us abreast with daily photos of our cats. They also went as far as changing the kitty litter and even cleaning up around it which is amazing service. We are very grateful for this excellent service and will be using them again for future vacations!

Paw Quest is a great company! I went away for 2 weeks and they looked after my bunny and cat. They were absolutely fantastic and I will be using them again in the future. Brittany who originally answered my questions, was lovely to talk to. Brittany and her staff are very kind, compassionate and very caring! I absolutely loved getting daily updates and pictures :)

I booked paw quest to take care of my black lab Clyde on my wedding day and Ashley did an amazing job. It was raining all day and she had him out for hours on walks and playing. He was a tired boy when we got home. I highly recommend and hope they start to offer more services in the Truro area. I would definitely have them look after Clyde again!

Cathy is phenomenal. We are busy people who got a puppy and needed help with checks during the day as well as advice on training. Cathy was an incredible support and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants it all! She took such good care of our dog while we were at work, walking him, cuddling him and took pictures for us along the way. I would hire her again in a heartbeat as well as enrol our dog in her walking program. If we need to board him in the future, we will go to Cathy. Thank you, Cathy!!!

We have worked with Cathy and her team for almost a year and the care (daily walks) provided to our dog has been first rate. I travel frequently for business and my schedule is somewhat unpredictable but Cathy can always accommodate which is an important driver and why we continue to go with A Dog's Day. Compared to others, the rate is very competitive given the care and the flexibility of the service. The walkers are always friendly and on time.

Had a wonderful experience with Cathy and her son helping to take care of my puppy while I was working. They were very responsive to communication, kept me updated with photos, and were very prompt and reliable. Rates very reasonable. Will absolutely be contacting them again for help when I get a second pup!

Thank you.

thank you.

Nicole has been pet sitting my two cats for close to 10 years. Both live in, and drop in engagements. I recommend Nicole often to friends, family and coworkers, and have nothing but absolute trust in her ability to not only care for my pets, but keep an eye on my house while I'm out of town, and let me know if anything comes up. Prices are very fair. Also love that she will often text photos the kitties. Basically, she's great!

Nicole has been taking care of my two cats for over 5 years now, including both drop-ins and extended live ins. I used a number of pet sitters before meeting Nicole & I honestly don't know what I would do without her because she is by far the best. She cares for my cats (& my home) as if they were her own. It is always a relief knowing she is taking care of my girls and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am so grateful I found Nicole over 5 years ago when we moved to Halifax. She’s been our pet sitter ever since. She takes great care of my cat, shes a timid kitty but she LOVES Nicole. I 110% recommend Paws at Home.

Nicole has been looking after my two kitties for the past two years. She is wonderful and very dependable. One of my cats has epilepsy and requires medication twice a day. When I go away I know that the cats are very well cared for and that Winston is getting his meds. She is so good to the cats. When I get home from vacation, everything is as it is if I were home; the cats are happy, the kitty food bowls and the litter box are clean. Nicole always sends me kitty pictures when I am away. I am very comfortable going on vacation knowing that Nicole is looking after the the cats at home. I highly recommend Paws@Home - Great service!!!

Nicole is THE best. She's been looking after our cats when we travel for years. Recently when we had an unexpected flight delay and our cats were home alone she responded almost immediately to our email and agreed to go in and take care of them. They are always healthy and happy when we return from our trips and we know they are well cared for. Our travels would be less enjoyable if we didn't have her back home taking care of things.

We've just started using Nicole as our dog sitter, and we were thrilled! Nicole is very professional and organized which put our minds at ease before we left. Despite having a dog with anxious tendencies, we came home to a very happy, relaxed dog (and a spotless house). We will definitely be working with Nicole from now on!

Nicole is fantastic. She looked after our three furbabies for 5 days while we were out of province. She is professional and makes it easy to go away knowing that our little beings were well cared for. Nicole even sent us pics so we could see how our kitties were doing. Top notch. Thank-you, Nicole! Yours is the first number we will call when planning an out-of-town trip.

Nicole is wonderful and my cat Theo just loves her! She always sends a pic when I’m away and she stops in to check on him, feed him and give him some attention :) I know Theo is in good hands when Nicole is watching over him and I can go on vacation without any worry. I would recommend her to any pet parents in Halifax looking for a reliable, trustworthy person to take care of their fur babies!

Nicole does a wonderful job at caring for our 2 cats. She even gave our cat medication because she suffers from allergies. Nicole has always been professional and trustworthy for the 2 years we have been having her care for our kitties.

Nicole is a trustworthy, dependable pet sitter who has stayed in my home, looked after my elderly dog and I would look no where else for she is the best! She keeps me informed, sends me texts, and cares for my dog like she would her own! She has my utmost respect and sincere appreciation for what she does!!!

Bader and golden paws are a great doggy daycare! Our dog Freddy has gone there for 2 years and we’ve only ever had positive experiences. When my dog has been sick or undergoing surgery he has called and texted to check on him. Always sad to look at comments that are unfounded from people who are willing to take their dogs to Big companies like JT (they gave our dog kennel cough) or dog walkers who charge an arm and a leg and do the bare minimum, and slander a small immigrant business. Shame on you! Freddy will continue to go to GP and if you are looking for excellent care you should consider sending your dog there too!

we started attending golden paws about 2 months ago and bader has been very nice and a pleasure to work with. my dog Mela has loved attending the group walks and always happy to see him.

My two dogs Bentley & Gally haven been coming to golden paws for 3 years now. Bentley is a rescue and was a very timid dog the first year coming here and after lots of visit he now runs in every time. He is able to run around with other dogs and enjoy the company of his regular friends

My golden retriever loves the doggy daycare at Golden Paws. She's been going for over 18 months from being a small pup and is very well taken care of. She interacts great with the other dogs there and always comes back happy and tired. I love the photos from their activities that are posted - you can see how happy all the dogs are in them. Photo is of my dog - just one of many from her adventures with Golden Paws. I would totally recommend Golden Paws 100%.

We would highly recommend Golden Paws HFX for so many reasons! First and foremost our dog is very well cared for. He loves going for walks with his puppy pals and comes home well exercised and socialized. He has learned to listen and follow commands better and when he has boarded there the experience is just like home and catered to his needs. Finn is a super fan of Golden Paws HFX!

The second time I picked my puppy up she bolted out of the house terrified. She barely made it out of the door way before she started peeing all the way down the stairs. It's all well and good if you felt your dog has always had a good time there, but if all you care about is that your dog is well looked after, you're completely dismissing all these poor dogs that seem to be neglected, abused, and traumatized. If it can happen to our dog, it can happen to yours. Maybe a small business owner should have stayed small and not bit off more than they could chew. Edited to add screenshots of one of the only days she attended daycare and came home with facial wounds which were played off as "play" - she had attended daycare and boarding and has never had this happen elsewhere. You may not remember me, but I'm sure you remember my dog. Eventually you're going to run out of friends to post positive reviews for you. Edited to add more- You mean the video you posted where my dog is clearly scared of you? Anyone with basic dog knowledge can see she's uncomfortable in those videos, it's embarrassing that you think this is "proof" of you treating dogs with compassion. Fear is not a motivator. Do better.

We had a deeply distressing experience using Golden Paws HFX for boarding from March 9-12, 2024. It was the first time we'd left our 8 month old Golden Retriever and we trusted all the five star reviews on Google. However, our experience could not have been more upsetting. It's a long story and we tried to post a link to it, but Google won't allow that. So in a nutshell, after a confusing tale about having taken our dog to Cape Breton without our permission which we found shocking, we believe the business owner actually left our dog alone at his house when HE went away. We discovered this only because we showed up much earlier than when he told us to come pick her up. We saw him arrive and he did not have dogs with him. We heard them barking in his house. We confronted him about this and he was unable to give us a reasonable explanation. Others who boarded their dogs during this same time are likely unaware of this situation as well. We have contacted the police and SPCA and are posting this so that you can make an informed decision about this business. Thank you for reading.

Golden paws is such an accommodating and dedicated doggy day care. My dogs are always exhausted when they come home and I am jealous of the scenic and fun hikes they get to explore everyday. Golden paws switches it up so they are always engaged in the new smells and surroundings.

He seems like a smooth talker with lots of knowledge, but in hindsight, there were some red flags we should have heeded. We had asked around and gotten lots of positive feedback from friends of friends who send their dogs there, and all of the positive reviews on socials helped ease my initial anxieties. He uses "balanced" training and in the beginning I thought that's why our pup was timid, as we had only used positive training. I suspect the "balance" he uses is further on the abusive end of the spectrum than appropriate or acceptable. We sent our rescue pup there a handful of times and every time she left she was progressively more and more scared- fearful to the point of absolute stiffness and incontinence. There were rarely any photos of our dog on the few days we sent her, and when we inquired about this, we were matched with bizarre stories that weren't logical. The final day we brought her, she was so upset going that I knew something was off and called my husband to go get her ASAP. That day there were plenty of photos/videos of her spending time with him. We never brought her back and ever since she's been scared of men or anyone going near her harness. If you're considering sending your dog here, be mindful and vigilant when doing so. *Edited to add: yes, it's been a while since we've sent our pup here. We had an off feeling but never wanted to report as we knew we were never going to return and didn't want the conflict as our attention had now shifted to reconditioning our puppy. However, we recently just came into information where others have sent their dogs after reading positive Google reviews and have also had a negative experience. So, we thought it only fair to add our story as there may be a chance to mitigate any further harm. There are no accusations in our review, there is only a description of our experience and suspicions as we do not have tangible proof; we only have a dog that has been forever changed since attending goldenpaws, and a caution to those who are considering the same.

We have been taking our dog here for 7 months and we have never had a bad experience here. During drop off my dog runs in and is always excited. Our dog was never a off leash dog and now he is, we did alot of work to get our dog where he is now and we cant be happier. Our dog is also now. E-collar trained and it changed our life. Thank you golden paws for everytging you do for us

I had the pleasure of having Olivia come to my house to do a nail trim on my amazon. She was not only amazing at it but very informative. Highly recommend! Can't say enough positive things about her business. Thanks again! 😊 …

I had a wonderful experience start to finish boarding my budgie for 3 weeks at Life with Parrots. Space is clean and bright with lots of other birds for making friends. Olivia was so communicative, flexible, and kind. I especially appreciated the updates over e-mail throughout Nugget's stay. I can't express how much peace of mind it gave me to know Nugget was being cared for while I was away. She was so visibly happy and healthy when I picked her up. Would recommend LifeWithParrots without hesitation for all your bird boarding needs.

We boarded our parrot with LifeWithParrots for 4 nights. Their rate is more than fair! We got regular video and picture updates. Our little guy came back home happy, full, and refreshed (regular birdie baths!). Somehow, he was even more talkative than when we left him (a good thing 😊). We were extremely happy with this company and it will certainly be where we board our bird in the future! Thanks, Olivia! 🐦 🦜

Suddenly our parrot behaves like a charm... thanks Olivia!!!

So friendly and clean. Great facility.

Olivia is great.

Great care and setup
