We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.
Anna was the perfect sitter for Tali, Mac and Sox. From the first moment we met Anna we all got on extremely well and we had no worries about leaving our pets in her safe hands. Anna gave them loads of fun time and company, lovely walks and snuggles in front of the TV. Thanks for all the fun we had before and after the sit too. We would not hesitate to recommend Anna for any sit.
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

Ashley took such good care of our cat Chet while we were away on holiday. The best part of her service was her post-visit reports, telling us exactly when she was there, what she did, how Chet was and the best part - she posted photos of him each time she was there. An excellent service and we will definitely be engaging South Shore Pet sitting services again!
I've been using South Shore Pet Sitting for over six months and am pleased and satisfied with Ashley's Service. Flexible, affordable, and friendly. Our Beagle loves going there, and I know Ashley takes excellent care of her. Thank you so much! I'm happy to recommend your pet-sitting service on the South Shore of Nova Scotia!
Ashely made going away easy! She took care of our cat, as well as my parents' senior cat (who was visiting with us) capably and with care. She was proactive with her preparation; asking all the right questions. She was at the house, on time, every day and the photo updates were nice to have. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashley as a pet sitter and we'll be repeat customers, for sure!
We recently had the pleasure of using South Shore Pet Sitting to look after our two cats while we were away, and we could not be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Ashley's professional service was exceptional and truly exceeded our expectations. Ashley is caring and attentive. She took the time to get to know our cats and understand their individual needs and personalities. It is evident that she genuinely love animals and is passionate about providing the best care possible. Dependability is key when entrusting someone with your pets. Ashley has organized South Shore Pet Sitting in a way that allows her to be consistently on time for visits, providing regular updates and pictures and ensuring that clients are fully informed. This level of communication gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without any worries. Ashley followed all our instructions meticulously, ensuring that the cats' feeding was adhered to perfectly and she also provided excellent advice. Our home was also kept tidy, and we returned to find everything in excellent order. In addition to the exemplary service, Ashley is friendly and approachable. She was more than willing to accommodate our special request when we extended our stay due to flight delays. We highly recommend South Shore Pet Sitting to anyone in need of pet care services. Our cats were happy and healthy upon our return, and we will definitely be using South Shore Pet Sitting's services again in the future. For Yvanka and Maya in Lahave, Nova Scotia
Very professional services, an amazing sitter when it came to watching our 3 crazy cats. Ashley kept us up to date with journals and pictures daily of what our cats were up too. Very grateful to have her services.
Went to Europe for two weeks for a family vacation and had absolute peace of mind knowing our cats were taken care of. Detailed updates of services and a daily journal with pictures made us assured our cats were happy and safe. Highly recommend South Shore Pet Sitting and look forward to using their services in the future!
Ashley took care of our cat while we were away for ten days. She was absolutely wonderful. Our cat required daily medication and he was quite grumpy while we gone. Ashley was patient, kind and compassionate with him. She as well brought in our mail and kept an eye on the house. I would highly recommend her. She put my mind at ease and I knew our cat was in great hands. Thank you, Ashley. You are the best !
We are very grateful to have found Ashley. We have used her services multiple times and the amount of comfort we gained by having Ashley look after our two cats (one being elderly and requiring medication twice daily) while being away was priceless. Her daily visit updates were frequent and thoughtful. Thank you Ashley!
We hired South Shore Pet Sitting to take care of our cat for a little over two weeks. During the introduction visit Ashley had an immediate rapport with our cat and asked all the right questions. She is friendly, professional, reliable, pays attention to details and knows how to read animal behaviour. She remained in daily contact with photos and notes, and when she needed to adjust a few things (food amount) she took the initiative but also let us know so we could follow the changes. We would hire her again and are happy to recommend her.
Ashley took wonderful care of our two senior cats (one who requires medication) while we were away for 10 days. She also kept an eye on the house, brought in mail etc. Daily communication, prompt responses to any questions I had and daily pictures of our kitties meant I felt very comfortable. And the kitties loved her too. I would highly recommend her services.
Love this dog care ! Sarah worked with my dog to help him integrate and socialize with the other "furry friends" - now I don't have to worry when I need to be away and he loves it there!
Great place my puppy loves it. Tim and Sara do an awesome job.
Always clean and animals taking care of :)
MY DOGS ARE SOOO TIRED WHEN THEY COME HOME, ITS GREAT
Super friendly and nice people.
My dog loves it there
Excellent caring owners.
Awesome place for your furry friend.......like a second home. They treat your dog like you would, we never have any worries, and our dog crazy with excitement when we get close to the kennels.
My dog's love it here and I know they are safe and secure!
Cooper had his first sleep over Glad we chose Happy Valley
Wonderful people and great place to send your dogs :)
Took excellent care of our high maintenance pooch for a weekend. Even brought him out of his shell a bit.
Both Mike and his wife are very good with the dogs
Wonderful place to keep your dogs.
We have boarded dogs at this kennel for years. We have boarded a very old dog. That old dog was given excellent, kind, gentle care. We have also boarded a puppy who was also given exactly the care he needed. He is grown now and is always happy to go there. He goes in with tail wagging. He goes to both Barb and Lloyd for pets. He is a happy dog when I pick him up. I would recommend this kennel to anyone needing a dog to be cared for in a home. The owners are knowledgeable and caring.
We left our dog here for a 10 day trip. When she couldn't eat her food due to a tumor in her mouth, Barb hand cooked fish that she was more than willing to eat. We were even given some of the fish to take home when we picked her up since she was so willing to eat it over regular food. We are very grateful for the care and dedication by Barb to accommodate our dog and would recommend this dog kennel to anyone else looking for one.
I used Just like home dog boarding three times, but will never return. After the first time I didn’t feel totally comfortable and didn’t plan to return, but found that after the stay my dog seemed more social with other dogs, so I decided to go back. The second visit went fine and she seemed to have enjoyed it. Sadly the third visit was a terrible experience. When I picked my dog up after a long weekend, she was walking on three legs. The dog boarding owners said she likes to jump a lot and she just hurt her paw a little but it’s fine, and said she’s just been looking for sympathy and lying around all day. They didn’t give details of what had happened or when. They keep the dogs in the house and showed me where they had her sleeping, which was on a high ledge with quite a precarious jump onto a box to get down, not the type of spot I would ever have her sleep. It was a long weekend, so I’m not sure if they were full and finding extra spots for dogs to sleep or if it’s a spot they usually use. There was clearly something seriously wrong so I took her to the vet. They found she had broken her toe below the joint. The end of the toe had to be removed, leaving just a stub, and the nail will never grow back. There was also an abrasion on the side of the toe. I called Just like home to tell them that she was seriously hurt and had required surgery which cost almost $500. They were very rude, saying: What are you accusing us of, we didn’t hurt her, she hurt herself, and if you think we’re paying we aren’t. I told them that all I was saying is that I left her in their care and when I returned she was badly injured, but actually I did feel they have some responsibility. At a minimum I suggested they should be refunding the boarding fee (that I had paid in advance). They refused saying the waiver I signed says they are not responsible for injuries. They even questioned the injury saying "I don't know your vet..." At no point was there even an apology. I know accidents can happen, but I feel like the environment there was more risky than it should have been and I was very disappointed by both their response to the injury and their attitude around it. I will not be returning.
I've takem my dogs here multiple times. Never had a bad experience. They are good people and always show that they care about my dogs. This is the only place I'll leave my dogs.
Although the owners clearly care about the pets that they take care of it was unfortunately not a good experience for my partner and I. We travel often and saw the good reviews online. After picking up our Bernese mountain dog and golden retriever we noticed a deep gouge in the top of our Berneses head and a rash on his stomach (same rash was on our golden) took the Berny to the vet the very next day and the vet explained he either a) got his head stuck under a fence or b) got bitten by a much larger dog & that it couldn't have been our golden because his jaw wasn't wide enough for the bite. She explained it must have happened earlier in the days we dropped him off as black flies had gotten into his gouge and it was infected. Not really sure how no one noticed that he has the cut on his head because the smell was pungent and the kennels have 24 hour security cameras to monitor them. A $200 vet bill later & even though we explain what happened to the owners who assured us they were not with other dogs we were offered no apology. The rash on both of them was from black flies which is understandable as they were outside so it would be silly to be mad about that. However for the cut in our dogs head made the experience very disappointing.
Can't say enough great things about them. So kind and friendly. My golden retriever just lives it. We use it two or three times a year. Would not go anywhere else.
The only place we leave are two beagles at they are treated like family. Beautiful spot lots of space for all size of dogs.
Donna is really professional and does great work. I have been going here for years and couldn't ask for a better place
Donna does a great job on our guy! He’s a Bernese/Poodle and always comes back looking absolutely fab
It was the first time in boarding for my pup and I’m so happy I found Donna! She was very communicative and made me feel at ease when I dropped him off. When I picked up my pooch he had a beautiful manicure and was in great spirits. I could tell he missed his new friends when we got home. He can’t wait until his next sleepover at Paws Inn the Bay. If you are looking to board your dog with someone who really cares, give Donna a shout.
I recommend coming to Paws Inn the Bay if you have a nervous dog that needs to get their nails clipped! Donna was efficient and gentle as she clipped my rescue greyhound’s nails. He is typically very snappy but she kept him calm the entire time! She also returned my lost keys which is above and beyond. Thanks again Donna!
Amazing service, she is an awesome person and adores all dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone
Very clean and caring place for your animal! Donna is very caring with each interaction and creates a great environment!
Donna does a great grooming job on our dog.
Fantastic dog grooming and setting service. Donna the best 👌 …
Very professional and has a genuine love for animals. Highly recommended
Great grooming and boarding with friendly owner!
Wouldn’t recommend. Maybe good for daycare. Horrific for boarding. Dogs play unsupervised, and are locked inside a kennel from 6pm-8am. Long story short, wasn’t led to believe these things were occurring. Place sucks.
Very clean, well kept yards and kennel area. We were sent pics and emails each day during our dog's boarding there...a definite bonus. Owner Pam was terrific to deal with.
I have my 2 dogs go there, and they are treated like family. Their rates are the best around.
I have never used this location, but visit an house nearby. Very rarely do you see a vehicle or person onsite, you here dogs barking outdoors for hours through out the day.
My 5 month old husky was very shy on arrival and after a weekend of loving attention from Marcel as well as his playful and friendly pup team welcomed Riggs with open paws and he is excited to return weekly for play dates! Very highly recommended!
Me and my dog love the Red Woof Inn! Marcel goes above and beyond to make sure each and every dog have a great experience.
10/10 highly recommend. Dogs can free roam at night in a safe environment. Are not locked in kennels. Very clean facility. Reasonable prices. Lots and lots of pictures daily of pups.
We acquired two Japanese Chin pups (litter mates/brothers) at the start of Covid-19 pandemic and they had not been socialized with other dogs, let alone people! Since we plan to travel again at some point in the future we want a safe place for them and access to doggie friends of all sizes and breeds. We were aware of Marcels global animal welfare efforts at saving/improving the lives of many animals over many years, which is why we made the Red Woof our only choice for the care of our boys. We were a little hesitant at first as our boys seemed terrified to be there and ALL the dogs are together big/small, however Marcel is extremely picky about the personalities of the dogs he welcomes into his home and aggression is not tolerated (no matter size). All the dogs that take part in daycare or sleepovers there are well socialized, with agreeable and non-aggressive personalities. Now the boys almost turn themselves inside out with excitement at the mere mention of going to see their doggie friends. We feel they’ve become more outgoing, which has made them far less timid of other animals and people. We are glad to have a safe and happy place for our boys to enjoy the company of canine friends!! 🥰🐶🙏🏼
If you need a doggy daycare you don't have to look any further. We had our puppy there for a week. We have never had patty at a daycare so we were a little nervous about leaving her for a week. They could see our apprehension but he spent nearly a hour explaining how he takes care of his dogs and their schedule for each day. He sent pictures everyday of patty that really help ease our mind knowing she was enjoying the daycare. It's very clean and organized with a separate area for small dogs. Needless to say we were incredibly happy with the owner and his business. He's only been open for a little while but I see great success with his daycare. Thank-you so much.
I was travelling to Nova Scotia from Ontario for the week in a camper trailer and pup, Jack. I had booked a day of sea kayaking but did not want to leave Jack alone for the day. I had looked up a few spots around Truro and came across the Red Woof Inn and figures I'd check it out. I reached out to Marcel about a month prior to my vacation. He stated that an assessment of the dog was necessary prior to taking him in for the day/evening, as well as vaccination papers. A few days prior to the kayaking, as I was passing through Truro, I stopped in to have Marcel assess Jack (to make sure Jack is compatible with Marcel, his two Huskies, and the remaining dogs within Marcel's care). The assessment went well, Jack seemed very at ease and happy when I picked him up. When I brought Jack back for the actual daycare appointment, Jack was very excited to be returning! Marcel is a very kind and genuine soul, and it is quite apparent that he cares for all the dogs within his care. I highly recommend taking a few hours for the assessment in order to allow your dog to spend time here! And to top it off, the price is unbeatable! Thanks again!
Amazing place and one of the best places we have taken our pet. Annie loves going and Marcel is always going above and beyond. He not only is always trying to improve the kennel for the dogs but is also trying to use his business to support local charites and giving back often.
We just picked up our pup Floyd after a week at the Red Woof Inn and he loved it! We will be using this daycare if we ever need to again. Would recommend to anyone!
Marcel is the best. He loves the dogs and provides a fun, loving atmosphere for our puppies.
Marcel is a great guy and I know he takes care of all the animals with the best of his abilities!
