“We had such a great experience with Autumn! She stayed at our house for two weeks with our corgi, Piper, while we were on vacation. Piper has some additional needs (including daily medication and regular walks), and Autumn was fantastic at accommodating them. She sent us frequent updates, with pictures and videos, to let us know how Piper was doing. It was such a relief to know that our pup was being well taken care of while we were away! We definitely plan to have Autumn back in the future, and I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Marleigh took great care of my dogs for two days. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them with her. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again!”
“Maggie was wonderful. Bailey was taken care of so well. Maggie is very easy going and kept us in the loop with updates and pictures. Trustworthy and dependable. I would recommend her.”
“Ashley was amazing!! She went above and beyond, taking great care of our house and of course, our pup. She would send us daily pictures for updates which was great! It was lovely being able to relax on vacation knowing our dog (and house) were in great hands!!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I have been responsible for basic care and training since age 12. I am primarily used to small or medium sized dogs, and have a ton of experience with senior dogs. If your furbaby needs special care, I'm happy to provide it. I'm not working currently, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furbabies. I like to keep a routine, so my days mostly look the same unless I have a doctor's appointment to attend. I like to do a light walk every day and they are welcome to join. I'm available to board any day of the week. I don't have a fenced yard but I do have plenty of grassy space for your furbaby do their business while leashed. I live alone and I love pets, but I recently lost my last furbaby, so my home is empty. I'd love to give your furbaby the attention and care they deserve! There is plenty of space for a crate if needed.
“Kristen looked after our senior dog for us while we were visiting St John’s. She is very friendly, dependable, punctual and great with dogs. I would definitely hire her again if we’re back in the area.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after my dogs while I was away for a week! The moment I met Hannah I knew my dogs would be safe and in good hands, and I never worried for a single second. One of my boys is special needs and she handled it like a pro. She treated my dogs like her own and they completely fell in love with her. They actually seem a little sad since she left lol. 5 stars isn't enough, if I could give her 10 stars I would. Absolutely 100% recommend Hannah to anyone needing a sitter!”
About: I have just moved to St John’s, NL from NB as my wife (originally from St John’s recently got a job here). I had to retire early from municipal engineering a few years ago due to complications from a large brain tumour. I spend each day seeking joy and fun in the east end. I have a kitty Bertha. I’ve got lots of experience taking care of both cats and dogs albeit new to Rover. I’ve got perfect reviews on trustedpetsitters I look forward to meeting more 4 legged friends and helping out where possible! Feel free to reach out with any questions or opportunities I currently live in the east end with my wife. Since a brain tumour in 2021 forced early retirement; I’ve got lots of flexibility to pursue other interests and things I love like playing and staying with animals. I can usually be available on short notice I have looked after pets since i was a kid. I love dogs (and cats of course) and look forward to helping care for your baby. I'm a professional engineer by training/education so very trust worthy. I treat your pet like it is my own
“Mckenna was amazing with Binx! She was communicative, dependable, and I felt great knowing Binx had a cuddle and play buddy while I was gone. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and really appreciated the updates while I was away. I’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!”

My wife and I were hesitant to have a stranger stay at our house and to look after our 13 year old dog, Max, but Victoria put our minds completely at ease. She maintained Max’s routine and provided updates twice daily to keep us aware of how he was doing for the 4 days we were away. It was a wonderful first experience with Rover and Victoria cannot be recommended enough! We came back to a happy dog and a clean and tidy home. We will definitely book with Rover and Victoria again for our next trip.
This was our second time booking with Jalaina and once again she was amazing. Unfortunately, our senior dog became very ill early into our trip and she handled an incredibly difficult situation with so much care and compassion. She did everything she could to help our girl, coordinated with a friend to get her to the vet and kept supporting both our dog and us until I was able to get home. We’re truly grateful for her kindness, communication and dedication during such a hard time.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mount Pearl maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mount Pearl walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mount Pearl choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
