Ebony is one of the best housesitters I've ever had. She replied to my last minute sit after a cancellation so we didn't have very long to put everything in place. She's an excellent communicator, very well organised and came with tons of housestting experience. This really showed - she's a pro! She was totally independent, looked after my elderly dog very well including giving him his medication, and left the house cleaner than when she arrived. Dillon was very happy on my return, as was I when I saw how clean and orderly everything was. I would highly recommend Ebony. A lovely, friendly, competent sitter.

Top notch! I love my pups going to pampered paws! I always feel safe and not worried when my pups are there.
We take our boy Charlie here, and he loves it! The staff are really friendly and the fact that we can check in on him is a huge stress relief. We are very happy to have found such a great place!
My Maisey is so happy when she goes to Pampered Paws! She has lots of friends to play with and the staff are amazing!
If you want your dogs treated like family, look no further than Pampered Paws Inn. The staff is amazing and helpful with any questionsi had, the business is very clean and the webcam feature is great for me when I travel.
My two golden spent the May long weekend there. Love the outdoor play space so the dogs can have fun. Our dogs were excited to go there. I love the webcam so I can watch them if I want to. I like that when you message them they always respond. They took the time to send me photos and a video of my fur babies. I love that they have attendants outside with dogs at all times.
Absolutely wonderful experience each and every time we come here. Lexi is always treated with love and care. Even when she was sick and due for surgery in the coming weeks. Last time we left her there she slept for a good day, we had no doubt that she had a good stay with lots of fun and exercise.
I’ve always had wonderful experiences with Pampered Paws Inn. My chihuahuas have had traumatizing experiences at other boarding kennels in the past so it’s been such a relief to find a place that they’re comfortable & content. The staff have been always friendly & attentive; I really appreciate the webcam access to check in & give me peace of mind. I see other posts saying Pampered Paws doesn’t require proof of vaccinations but that’s not been my experience at all, as I’ve always been asked for the most recent proof of vaccinations for every kennelling stay. So grateful for Pampered Paws & would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking daycare or boarding options.
Are dogs start to whine with excitement as soon as we get close to pampered paws. They have so much fun and when they come home they're tired and sleep really well. It's a win-win
While my dog has had fun attending daycare and the manager/staff were always pleasant, the professionalism of the owner is severely lacking. From being snarky over the phone when checking out if there was space for my dog (we live an hour away so check before we leave), to getting angry with me because my dogs collar and AirTag were pulled off and I tracked it to the daycare and called to get it back, to being downright rude during pickup, and now leaving evacuation of the dogs to the very last second causing complete chaos shows the lack of professionalism and care for the dogs & staff. Getting to the point of having someone running through the woods to get animals out is absolutely negligent on the owners behalf. I know that my dog will not be returning, what if this happened again and she waiting two minutes too long? I wouldn’t risk my animals life when every other daycare in the area was already packing up dogs and getting out in a safe and timely manner.
This is an amazing place for your pet to stay. The staff are excellent with the pets. It was very comforting for my wife and I to be able to check in on our pup during his stay via the live action cameras. So many good things to say! Very clean, staff on site 24 hrs., lots of room to run in the caged yard. Excellent prices too!
Our family and our doggo Charlie feel so lucky to have the Dog Company so close to us and be able to know and trust them to take such great care of him whenever he needs a sleepover and a play day with all his friends. The entire staff has always been so friendly and caring and keep us up to date with tons of pictures of his adventures during the day and even detail his interactions with certain friends he makes or plays with when he's not with is. We all appreciate it so much and even look forward to seeing photos of Charlie playing in the water or running around with his friends. Highly, highly recommend.
I am super happy with the choice we made for my dogs overnight. I feel the staff were amazing and are super attentive to the dogs and their needs. They were also very helpful! I can tell they really care for the dogs here!
My pup loves this place and always comes home so tired! They’re very aware of different dog needs, and will ease your pooch into group sizes that it is comfortable with. Plenty of indoor & outdoor play space, as well as the option for boarding and a great little shop for some pet food & supplies.
Our Aussies Gus and Juni have been going for almost two years now. They love it. Gus even has a favourite staff member who he greets like family. I thought I would NEVER board my dogs but we felt comfortable doing so at the dog company since the employees there go above and beyond for our pups at daycare during the day and our guys were able to stay in a little suite together instead of in a crate apart which would be been out of their routine! We love you DC!
We have 2 dogs that go here quite often (daycare and boarding). The staff here go above and beyond with everything they do. You can tell they really love and care for people's dogs like they were their own. Thanks TDC!
We take our two dogs here a few times a month. One dog is a daycare pro, but the other one can become overwhelmed... the staff here tailor his playgroups to set him up for success and it is so amazing that he gets the chance to socialize comfortably and burn off some energy. We have done some training through them as well as nail trimmings... they really can offer it all. Super happy with our experiences here.
We have had our 9 month old Lab Daisy here a few times, most recently we boarded her for 6 nights. They provide great care and we felt at ease while away knowing she was in good hands. On her final day here she was nipped in the ear by a puppy and they stopped the bleeding and made sure she was ok until we could arrive to pick her up. This was just an unfortunate incident and no fault of the Dog Company. They managed the situation very well, I couldn’t have asked for more.
Such an amazing place. My pup has issues with making friends and yet the style of daycare and boarding offered here allows for my pooch to play and have fun all the same! We spent way too long trialing other places and wish we had of found TDC much sooner!
The Dog Company is such an amazing place to bring your dog! Stephanie and Ariana are so passionate about what they do, I wouldn't even consider bringing my dog anywhere else. Their facility has everything and more that your animal will ever need. It's really comforting knowing my dogs are in such great hands and learning such great things while having fun doing so!
My dogs adore this spot! They always have fun and do so good. The training was also super helpful. My rescue dog enjoys it and the staff are always so good with them!
Our sweet boy Axel absolutely ADORES playful pups and their staff. He loves romping around with his friends. He is treated like gold by Jen and her staff. 10/10 experience. They treat Axel and us like family, and we appreciate it so much. Can’t say enough positive stuff about this team. ♥️♥️
Large play areas for both small and large dogs. Lovely and knowledgeable staff. All of them great with the dogs. Pool for the dog to swim in on hot days. My dog Lilly get so excited when we pull into the parklot. She loves going. She comes home sleepy after a fun day of play and cuddles. The groomer is very patient with Lilly who hates getting Groomed. She look so cute 😍.
Had an incredible experience, my dog loved every minute! Look at that big smile! :) Thank you to Jen and the Playful Pups Doghouse Adventures! Friendly, welcoming, quick to respond, amazing system for booking days through Paw Partner! Your dog will be safe, snuggled and have a brilliant time! Highly recommended!
Wonderful, wonderful experience for my dogs. I simply mention the words "Playful Pups" and "Kayla" in the morning, and they lose their adorable minds. It's their favourite place on earth. The staff are incredible, friendly, knowledgeable, appreciative, and accommodating. So happy I discovered this amazing place for Clem and Ringo!
I don't know whats with that ignorant comment about the new dog groomer... I've gone to Marissa countless times to groom my dog before she even started working here. It started off as her wanting to get a good reference on my end, and I paid her for her time and the amazing effort she put in and I'm 100 percent glad i did! Because of the wonderful experience Marissa always gave me, I'm thinking about bringing my dog in to be groomed at Playful Pups and I don't even live in the area anymore. Marissa is fantastic and I've heard amazing things about this company! ❤ don't let one angry and jealous person ruin the experience, Marissa, and I'm sure the company is amazing!
I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else. Jen is knowledgeable, dedicated, and loves every dog like they're her own. The daily reports cards and photos, and reasonable prices, provide peace of mind. Because of Playful Pups I have a happier, healthier, and better dog.
Great staff and services. My Cloudy has been developing some bad behaviour during our walks but with Leigh Ann’s help he is getting better! Pictures below are of Cloudy after coming home from doggy daycare. Huge place for the dogs to run around and play, also a separated area for big dogs and small dogs. Amazing place would highly recommend!
We've sent our dog to Jollytails, Petite Urban Pooch, and various other daycare and dog boarding services in the HRM. Jen and her team at Playful Pups are the best. Hands down. She has 2 small dogs, so she is very cognizant of the needs of small dogs, but every time I come, the larger dogs are having a blast and are well-supervised and cared for as well. She's also the most affordable in the HRM.
I left my two dogs here while on vacation and they loved it! They came home happy and tired, though I have a sneaking suspicion they would have been happier if I'd let them stay! Jen is just amazing with the dogs and you can tell they adore her!
We took our dog here four times. The first three were okay, but after the fourth day we ended up asking for our money back for the remainder of our pre-paid days. We showed up at 7 (when they open) and nobody was there. A couple minutes later Jen showed up with her three dogs and let us in. She told me she would have to move her car because I had parked in her spot, which meant she had to leave my dog unsupervised while she did that. She then realized that their pool had not been cleaned over the weekend and that it was dangerous for the dogs, so she tried moving them to the other room. Our dog didn't listen so she decided to hide from him, and then grab his collar as he walked by. This resulted in him biting her and bruising her skin. That is completely innapropriate dog handling, especially for a dog that she already knew didn't like being handled at all. We took our dog there so he could have positive experiences with people, and he got the opposite.
Excellent service! The owner loves animals and get along with my cats very well. Third times come back for my cats.
The owner and his wife are very kind. They have several pets of their own, and they treat the furry children in their care as if they were their own pets.
Super loving❤️ takes care of the pets patiently! Love your pet like your own furry child; You will know if you experience it with your pet😄 First choice! 👍👍👍
The best place to take care of your pup for the day! Friendly attentive staff. Great exercise and socialization for the pups. Hours are excellent for our busy schedule. Glad to be able to bring our fur kid there.
I started my dog at Bowlin Farms at about 7 months old and it did wonders socializing him and burning off his puppy energy! The Sunday socials are always a blast, and the staff is great.
Great staff, great facility. The only downside is my little beasty comea home a little dusty. Im always amazed how the pack are all running around happy and having fun. When we are pulling in my girl gets insanely excited!
Owners don’t care about their employees besides the 2 “managers”. One who is lazy, is high all the time and takes advantage of her position and the other who is young, has anger problems and is way too aggressive with some of the dogs. Myself and a few of the girls before me have brought up concerns of treatment of some of the dogs but they will not listen to it. Owner lives away (Ontario or out west) is a cop and is not friendly at all and as long as she’s getting her pay cheque she doesn’t care about anything anyone says. The other workers are great
Great welcoming Staff very respectful and professional,great with my Chico lots of room to play rates for Day care are very good Clean and Large play area’s
This is a great place for your dog to socialize and get tons of exercise, whether for half or a full day. Staff are great!
My dog loves his time at doggie day camp. The staff take great care of the dogs and are very friendly. The grounds are always clean and very spacious which allows lots of room for the dogs to run and play. Love the fact you can book for a few hours to a full day. Highly recommended!
My daughter works there. Way better than Jollytails.
We needed to take our 9 month old pup to Bowling several time while we were caring for my sick mother and they were very friendly and accommodating. Our pup had a great time playing with the other dogs and came home ready to rest! We will be back anytime.
Our dog loves this farm! We say, 'do you want to go play with the doggies?' And she bolts for the door! And when home is exhausted. Our favorite place to take her.
Wendy and Andrew are awesome! I have big 2 dogs, one of which is nervous with strangers and they were wonderful with both of them. They were always available (and I mean always) when I needed them, even at short notice. I also enjoy the little notes they leave each time they visit about how the dogs were.
Our furry girl was always taken care of and she loved being with her friend Chloe. Wendie and Andrew are so caring and kind that it was peace of mind knowing they we're looking after Hazel. We will miss you guys. All the best!! Noel, Karen and Hazel
Can't say enough good things about Wendie and Andrew! They have been looking after our cat for a couple years now and we have always been absolutely thrilled with their services. Not only is our cat well taken care of, but they are incredibly reliable and have always made themselves available at the last minute when we decide to go out of town. On top of that, they are such lovely people!! Highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter :)
We used Round Trip for dog walking and pet sitting for about 6 years for daily walks (sometimes multiple walks per day) and in our home pet sitting. Without family nearby and juggling full time jobs and then a baby, they became like an extension of our family. We never had to worry about our beloved dog (who happens to be anxious and high maintenance at times). When Andrew stayed in our home to pet sit, upon returning, it was like he was never even there. They were always very respectful of our property and neat and tidy too. Super responsive and easy to communicate with, we are so grateful to have found them! A+++ 100% recommend!
We are so grateful to have found Round Trip dog walking to walk our dog while we were at work all day. Andrew is kind, punctual and was very flexible to our busy schedule. We felt comfortable having him come into our home and would recommend him to anyone in need of a dog sitter or walker!
So happy to have found Round Trip. Andrew and Wendy are great. See pics of my girl Pixie before and after walk.
Wendie and Andrew have been our "go-to" pet-sitters for about 4 years. Not only are they experienced and responsible sitters/walkers but just lovely people to know and communicate with. They have been great for last minute visits as well as 2 month stays when we are away in the winter. I don't know that I could trust anyone else with our lil' guy, especially on those longer stays. Keep up the good work, you two are a God-send! Helen S. (Cambridge.)
Andrew and Wendie are fantastic! We had a last minute request and they accommodated us with no issues at all. Super friendly and flexible - would highly recommend! Updated 2021: Andrew and Wendie were always accommodating of our (often) last-minute travel requests. They take the time to get to know your pets and truly treat them like their own. Molly and Buttertart wish you well with your move out East!
Wendie and Andrew are wonderful and caring animal lovers. They have watched our dogs and cats in house and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is in need of someone to come visit their animals while they are away. They are trustworthy, reliable and agile. Thank you for always accommodating our pets!
Before I found Round Trip Dog Walking and Pet Sitting, I called and visited scores of other businesses offering the same type of service. When I say SCORES....I mean scores! Over several years I searched. My husband often said that I was too fussy and would never find anyone good enough....then I found Round Trip. Knowledgeable, accommodating, professional, reliable...they cover them all and more! My dog Corduroy loves Wendy, Mike and Andrew and I don't have a single ounce of apprehension when he is in their care. Take it from someone who is very 'fussy' about who I trust with my pet, Round Trip is simply THE BEST!
The staff at PUP are lovely and really get to know the dogs that visit. They go above and beyond with accommodating on short notice and keep their social media stories updated all day so you can see your pup having fun!
Melissa is awesome, she treats dogs like kids. She is friendly, responsible and they love her. She texts pictures of them often and gives them lots of cuddles, play time and attention. Was able to relax and enjoy my vacation, and so were they! 😊 …
I just moved to Halifax and was worried that I m not able to find a good daycare for my small Shih Tzu but Petite Urban Pooch has been perfect place for my doggo. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and can connect in a timely manner. Safe and fun environment highly recommend!
Love this place. I take my puppy there at least once a week. Amazing staff that truly love animals. My Bentley always gets super excited when he finds out he's going there and can't wait to see the other dogs.
The team at Petite Urban Pooch are always excited to welcome our dog. They’re very responsive and are able to accommodate short notice bookings, which I really appreciate. I love seeing their instagram posts and updates throughout the day.
Daycare management and staff are very responsive and super friendly to dogs. Perfect for small dogs and highly recommend!
It was Nuri's first time in a daycare and she had a blasted time with other friends! Thank you for the great time
I can't begin to tell you about the total love that Cindy and Nik show for our Max. It was so hard to leave him for two weeks but they took such amazing care of him - sending us lots of pics and notes to tell us how Max was doing. He was out with them, everywhere they went - and got lots of love and attention - and yes - sleeping in the bed. He loved his slumber pawty with Bella and Blue. Because Max is wee, they are very conscious of when play time is too much for him - making sure that he has his quiet time too. We're so lucky to have such amazing people taking care of our boy.
Did a great job on the cut the first visit, groomer was really friendly, price was really fair, and my dog was really happy leaving. I am disappointed with their customer service on my appointments following as it was really unprofessional. My father booked an appointment and they never answered to confirm the appointment and so he didn't go. After that because I had such a great experience I myself and my dads dogs for a cut thinking it was a one off. When we tried to call the day prior to confirm again she hadn't answer. We thought they were busy and if anything was different they would let us know so we went. When I got to the appointment the groomer wasn't even there. No one had called or tried to contact either of us though they had our emails and number. There was no reason for the cancellation given other than the groomer wasn't there. Disappointed because it was a good experience the first time.
My dog Penny is an older dog and a rescue. She is very timid, and just cant handle being around big dogs if they are playing so i was so thankful to find Petite Urban Pooch. I feel safe leaving her with Morgan and her staff. I send her once a week to get her out socializing with other dogs and i have seen a big difference in her since going. She gets super excited when we get out of the car and realizes she is going to PUP. :) The doggy socials are also really great time for you and your dog to meet new friends. Plus if there are puppies at the social, would doesn't want to cuddle with puppies :)
Madesen has been doing our very quirky bulldog’s nails every few weeks for quite some time now. She’s so wonderful with Tyson (he gets more excited to see her come to the door than us now!), professional and kind. Would recommend Furfilled Pet Services for anyone considering!
Nothing but praise for Madesen and Furfilled Pet Services! We really value the enrichment services provided and have been a client for two years and counting. Our beagle Willow loves going for walks in the small group outings each week and we've also relied on Madesen for taking care of our cats when we're away. Communication is top notch and we love seeing the pictures on Instagram. Highly recommend!
Furfilled pet services is the best! She is reliable, kind and our dog just loves her. Our dog has separation anxiety and Furfilled spent the night with him while we went out. It gave us peace of mind to know he was in qualified hands and relaxing at home. Our dog has also gone on decompression walks with Furfilled and he always comes back happy and tired. Would recommend to everyone!
