“Pinjing L. took excellent care of our 85 lb golden doodle. It was our first time leaving him with her and we were out of the country. She notified me daily with pictures to let me know he was in good care. I wouldnt hesitate to reach out to her again in the future. Lovely fenced space for our dog to play and expend extra energy. Lovely clean home left me feeling confident he would be well cared for.”
“Highly recommended , Kateryna took care with love and happiness for Autumn, I will definitely recommend Kateryna to my friends and for sure I will be confident in leaving Autumn again soon”
“Joey had a great time with Donna and her pup, they must have played non stop as Joey was very tired when we got home. Great communication and photos from his stay with Donna, we will be back again soon!”
About: Our names are Sebastien and Jodi. We’re a couple that lives in Saint John who want to spoil your furry friends with love on weekends you’re away! We have lots of experience with many different breeds, sizes, ages throughout the lifespan, and needs of different dogs. Our private fenced in backyard is a haven for playtime and zoomies, and our deck and living room with a skylight are perfect sunbathing spots. With both of us here wanting to give your pup all the attention, cuddles, treats, walks, playtime, and adventures possible, they’ll have double the love. We are very active people, excursions uptown and outdoors are far better with a buddy by our side. Senior dogs who prefer quiet afternoons cuddling while we read a good book are also perfect companions. There are no children in our home, only two cats who can be kept separate if your pup prefers, or be nearby for those who like company. We have a car available for transportation, lots of flexibility for whatever your pets needs may be, and a heart shaped hole in our weekends that your pup would fit into perfectly. Reach out to us and we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have! We want to spend our weekends taking care of animals with our free time because while it may not be our full time jobs, its definitely our favourite one! We are available normally Friday through Sunday, with some flexibility in certain cases if needed. We value making you and your pets as comfortable as possible with us before and during your stay, whether its just a walk or overnight, we know how integral trust is to the experience of leaving your pet with others. We will ask as many questions as we can to assure we know your pets unique needs in our space, and you are welcome to tell us things we may not think of! With a private fenced in yard, spacious home, and two pairs of caring eyes on your pup while you’re gone, they’ll be safe and sound. We are happy to provide picture and text updates as often as you want, and are happy to track anything like behaviour, diet, bathroom activity, etc. if you would like. Any other ways we can accommodate you and your pet are always welcome to be suggested too!
“I can’t recommend Scott & Megan highly enough! They took great care of my dog while I was away. Charlie isn’t the easiest dog to look after, so it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. They have the perfect outdoor space to safely exercise pets. They had no issues administering Charlie’s medications and provided frequent photo updates. We will absolutely be re-booking with Scott & Megan in the future, thank you both!”
About: About Me I’ve been caring for all types of animals for over 20 years, and I truly love them all: big, small, young, old, goofy, nervous, energetic, or a little particular. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and cats and am very comfortable caring for them in their older years. I’m happy to go the extra mile to make your pet comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. If that means feeding them in a weird spot, taking extra time with a nervous pet, giving medications, going for walks, helping a slower senior dog, or doing whatever little things make them happy, I’m all for it! I’m patient, attentive and will make sure to keep things clean and tidy while you’re gone. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home but that is changing in the future. I work from 8 to 4 daily at home. On the weekends, I’m free to take care of your pets all day. During the day, though, dogs can be let out when they need to be let out. Once I work from the office, I would be able to do mornings and evenings and nights. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, give medications, take them for walks, provide extra attention, and accommodate any little quirks or special needs they may have. I’m patient and flexible, and I’m always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and will treat it with the same care and respect as I would my own.
About: Growing up, my family and I used to board dogs throughout the summer. Since then, I have always loved pet sitting and do so any opportunity i get. I love being able to care for and love your pets like they’re my own for the time that i have them. I am very active, so if your pet likes, we can go for long walks/hikes/runs, and if not, we can relax together too! Pet care fits into my daily schedule as i already do it for my own dog. I work full time monday to friday, 8:30-4:30. If needed upon your request, I can go home on my lunch breaks for a quick walk and to accommodate any needs. I will be home throughout the evenings and weekends. I love to brings my animals with me when possible and if owners are comfortable with it. As i have my own pet to care for, adding one more to the bunch is just more fun! I live in an apartment, so small to medium dogs are preferred that have low-medium energy levels. I take my dog for walks three times a day, morning, after work, and night time. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs and preferences based on yours and your pets wants.
“Brooke and her partner were great. They were very accommodating with my booking and made my dog feel very comfortable in their space. They sent many pictures to keep me updated and my dog looked like he was having a great time. Their dog Teddy was very lovely as well. Highly recommend.”
“Absolutely amazing with my boys 2yr and 5 month old ! They came back exhausted and happy and she kept me updated frequently throughout their boarding experience! Can’t wait for them to see her again!”
“Justine was a perfect match for our pup! Her dog and ours, got along great. She sent lots of photos and was a great communicator. I definitely had the sense that our girl was in great hands. Can’t wait to work with her again!”

“Kathryn was so sweet with our girls and sent super thoughtful updates. It is so much easier to leave home when you have someone like Kathryn looking after your pets.”
“Meaghan was amazing, she took great care of my babies while we were away. Communication was great and she was very understanding about dealing with my nervous cats! I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hello, I am Nixia! Cats have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have years of experience caring for them, from feeding and litter care to quiet companionship and play. I understand and respect each cat’s unique personality and needs. One of my dreams is to open a cat café and partner with local rescues like Strays of Sussex, Red Head Strays, and the SPCA to help give more cats a loving home.
About: For most of my life, I've had cats (and dogs, lol). As the headline says, my cat had her litter on me, then expected me to share kitten care duties while she went out hunting! I've always had an affinity to cats and all aspects of their care - from grooming to meds.

About: Hi! I have been brought up with animals in my family home since I was born. Being around dogs/cats/horses/hamsters and more. After relocating to Canada due to a work placement via my partner, and living in rented accommodation where we can't have our own pets, I felt this was a great way to help the community and cure my cravings for some time with animals! After recently moving to Rothesay giving up my recent job in pet Valu. I felt it would be good to venture out and start this journey while still with animals as I love dogs. Unfortunately this is not a service I can offer at this time. This may be a service that will become available in due time. Thanks for your understanding.

About: I have had farm animals and pets my whole life. All of my pets have had long wonderful lives ranging from 19-22years. I feed my pets all natural and raw foods. I keep my pets groomed and medically sound. I currently work 3 days a week which leaves 4 days a week of being available at home. I only work a 5 minute drive from my home. I have my own dog who is trained and well behaved. On the days that I work I take her for a walk in the morning, come home on my lunch for a walk and then 2 walks in the evening. My Siberian Husky is great company and she has plenty of toys to share. I will have crates set up in my house if you prefer your pet to be crate trained or if the crate is a comfort zone for your fur baby.
About: I have taken care of my friends dogs and they love to come to the beach with me and my dog and just run, my dog is friendly with all dogs and they will get lots of cuddles. I would love to stop in and check on your cat, my dog is too scared for me to cat sit but I can go to your place ! I work Monday to Friday 9-5. I am available weekends and evenings and my dog stays home while I am at work. I am happy to chat with you about fitting your dog into my schedule I worry so much about my dog when I don’t have him so I assume people worry as much as me. I will take so many pictures and show you how much fun your doggo is having.
“Amazing sitter fit us in on short for a couple on short notice while we explored St. John’s, while we were on vacation from Ontario. Our puppy loved her and got along nicely with her dog. Would give her six stars if I could.”
About: I've taken care of cats & dogs (& many other critters) for over 40 years. I grew up on a farm and know the importance of treating animals with care and compassion. I've walked, groomed, bathed and played with more dogs & cats for myself, friends/family & neighbours than I can count. I'll treat your furbaby like it was my own - with love. I have markets that I attend on weekends for my business, so I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to pet care. My schedule is pretty flexible. I will be caring for your pet in your home, which means I'll be following whatever rules you have in place. This includes feeding, play, outdoor time & walks.
