“We booked Victoria to take care of our senior English Setter during the night of our wedding, and we could not be happier with the care she provided to him. She consistently communicated how he was doing over her entire stay, when and what he was eating (which we especially appreciated as he had not been eating much the week before she arrived), and whether he had taken his medication. Victoria gave us confidence the moment we met her that we would not have to worry about our old man while he was in her care. We would absolutely book with Victoria again, and would eagerly recommend her to anyone that asks!”

I volunteer at vet clinics and adoption agencies where I walked dogs and cared for both cats and dogs basic needs.

I’m currently available most days as I am between job and have a flexible schedule. I’m available 8am to 10pm everyday. Except Tuesday I’m available after 12pm. I always make sure I follow the directions the homeowner gives me for their furry friend. I feed them, give them fresh water, take them out for a potty break or a walk. I give their pets lots of cuddles and affection well I’m there. I make sure your furry friends are comfortable and enjoy my visit.

“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 had dogs my whole life! From Shih Tzus to German Shepherds. Growing up, I was responsible for walking, bathing, feeding and cleaning up after my pets because our dogs are family, and I always loved taking care of them as such. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve trained puppies and cared for senior dogs, and I have loved them all the same. I work in-office 9-5, with an hour lunch break that can absolutely be dedicated to checking on your pup and spending time with them. After work, I have some evening commitments like volunteering, but while I’m with your dog, they will always be a priority. I know after being alone most of the day they’ll want some extra love in the evening! I am very respectful of your space and how you typically care for you pets. The way you like things to be in your home with your pets is the way things will stay! Following your dog’s routine while you’re away can help them feel more comfortable and relaxed, and that’s my goal!
About: My Fur babes are really my babies. I have had dogs & cats for as long as I have been able to. They are love. I moved to Newfoundland in 2021 to care for my family and I am able to share my space, time and energy with 4 legged friends. It would be my honour and privilege to care, board and walk your family pets. I have a fully fenced yard and greenspace behind my home to take care of your dogs. I can throw a ball for hours if need be as my own dog loves to watch and play. Or I can watch youtube videos of dogs on the beach. If its your cat, my own cat has plenty of toys and loves to play fetch and while away the hours on his scratch pad.

Victoria was fantastic with both my dog and cat, she was very attentive keeping me updated on how they were doing and provided plenty of photos and videos while I was away. I would certainly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a caring individual to take care of their pets!
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!
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 Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
