About: I've been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember, and they've always held a special place in my heart. At the age of 7, I welcomed my first dog, Luna, and since then, I've discovered a new kind of love. Back home, I have two French poodles and, five beloved cats. Moving to St. John's has left me missing their companionship dearly. Becoming a pet sitter is my way of reconnecting with that joy and love. I'm eager to shower your furry friends with affection, take them for walks, engage in playtime, and ensure they have the best possible care while you're away.🥰🥰 I'm a student with plenty of time during weekdays.

About: I have a lifetime of experience when it comes to dogs and have grown up around them my whole life. I was raised by parents that worked with animals and learned a lot about how to care and connect with them. Iam able to administer medications and attend to dogs of any age including puppies. When my husband and I got a dog of our own for the first time our hearts became even more full with love for animals Wich is something I didn’t think possible. Being a dog mom to a loving happy and goofy dog like Bodhi has changed my life. He is truly the heart of our home and caring for him is so fulfilling. Welcoming your dog in our home will just be another incredible addition where we can share our love for animals and care for them like they are our own. I am an artist currently working from home so I am incredibly flexible when it comes to dog care. I have tons of time for play and walks and cuddles so your pet will get lots of attention. On weekends my husband and I go hiking when the weather is good and love to take Bodhi for the nature and exercise, we love to be outside.

As most dogs do, it’s a great place to walk them and let them explore. So you can count on your dog getting a nice big walk in during the day :) Bodhi is a super loving and playful dog who loves other dogs and playing so you know your dog will have a best friend when they stay with us. Dogs are welcome in the bed, on the couch and anywhere in our home. They are family and are treated as such :)
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and love taking care of them. As soon as I could work with animals I did, from a vet clinic on the coast to a local farm. I have experience training young puppies and with nervous cats. I love animals and take care of them as my own! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to care for your pets. I work during the evenings for a couple hours and thats it, so I have no trouble spending as much time with your pet as needed! I have my own friendly dog and cat that love to play, my dog especially. I don’t have a fenced in yard as I live in an apartment building, but I take my own dog on multiple walks during the day on the walking trails around my area. I can easily crate your pet if needed as well. I am also within walking distance to a dog park if your dog enjoys that!

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11, starting with family and close friends. I’ve now been caring for pet for 11 years! I absolutely love animals, meeting new ones and caring for them! I learned from working under the groomers at a pet salon and pet store how to brush and cut cats nails correctly. I now do my cats nails at home! I also know how to administer medication with a needle, as my dog had diabetes.
“Had an amazing experience with Jessica and Anthony! They treated my two cats like their own—attentive to all their needs and kept me updated the entire time I was away. I couldn’t have asked for better care!”
About: I enjoy going walks myself, and it's even better to have an animal with you for company - whether that's just going around the block or a multi-hour trek. I have plenty of experience in safely navigating city streets, trails, and parks; I've been around animals as long as I can remember, and have a lot of fond memories of them. I have a fairly open schedule, and I can be available to care for and to walk your pet throughout the week and on weekends I am a very adaptable person, and I can easily accommodate the specific needs of your pet in your home. I live near and am familiar with a variety of trail networks ideal for walks.
About: I have owned 3 cats and fostered one cat, and I have also lived in homes with dogs and enjoy small dogs especially. I like to focus my attention on rescue cats and pride myself on breaking down barriers with animals by getting to know them individually and reading their signals for affection, playtime, and care. My special skills are with high-needs cats. I own a cat named Talon with epilepsy who is a rescue, and my previous cat, Simba, who is no longer with us, suffered from HCM. My current cat Talon suffers from behavioural issues and seizures and I have gotten him to really open up through his complicated health history. I also have had a lot of experience in dealing with kittens, as I had my own cat, Simba, from six weeks old, and never left his side. However, I do love a beautiful pure-breed cat or dog and had a Siamese as a child, whom I carried to the grocery store in my jacket pocket. What sets me apart is my patience towards animals and my ability to read and show empathy to challenging animals. I am currently a full-time student studying Social Work online and can do pretty much anytime a bus route is present. I don't have many commitments besides the care of my own animals. I live downtown and have proximity to most places, being on the 10 route as well, within walking distance of the centre city. I can provide daily litter cleaning, feeding, and watering, and basic medication administration. I am also willing to take them outside or spend time with them playing and providing them with comfort while their pawrents are not home.
“Alexis was very reliable during her drop in visits for our two cats, who really seemed to enjoy her company. She was responsive and sent us lots of updates. We would certainly recommend her services!”
About: I have experience walking shelter dogs and knowledge and experience in basic training and behaviour. I don’t mind if your dog: - is high energy - gets over excited - is reactive or nervous - pulls hard on the leash I will work with any dog to the best of my ability. I am available weekday during the evening weekends for walks or play sessions in your neighbourhood or at nearby parks. I am also available on holidays during the week. My top priority is the safety and well-being of your dogs when in my care. My main goal is to fulfill your dogs need to be outside and exercise. My hope, is that I can help dogs that need to learn better habits on leash/walks

About: I have a huge passion for animals, especially dogs. I love keeping animals happy, and I'll love your dog like it's my own. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love the outdoors and walking. I'll make sure your dog gets lots of exercise, and I'll keep the walks fresh and new, bringing your dog to many different trails. I am completely comfortable with all sorts of dogs. I used to own a mix named Tickey, a Golden Retriver named Daisy, a King Charles Spaniel named Katie, and I now own a Portuguese Water Dog named Odin. I’ve done some dog walking for people while they were travelling for a few weeks and absolutely loved it. I cannot wait to meet your dog! I love making new friends, I feel like I have a special connection with animals because I am open and 100% comfortable. I work as a barista and am off almost every Monday, Thursday and Sunday. So I can walk anytime on those days. On days that I work I walk Odin every afternoon when I get off at 3, so I can walk your dog/s with Odin, or separately afterwards I have a fenced in yard that is all grass and it is always mowed and fully cleaned. I also have woods right behind my house that is great for walking
About: I am very experienced with puppies, adults, and senior dogs, as well as cats and birds. I am quite comfortable administering medications and providing training and playtime. We have had our current dog since she was a puppy and took on a lot of the training responsibilities. I used positive reinforcement through pets and words of encouragement, treats, and clicker training. I have also taken care of a senior dog who required medications, physical support, and diapering. I have experience with large breed dogs as our previous dog was a Great Pyrenees who required regular walks, grooming, and playtime. We have had our 16-year-old cat since he was born. He is diabetic but is no longer insulin dependent. His diabetes is now managed with his specific diet, so I understand the importance of sticking to a plan and schedule. I am currently working part-time and would love to spend some time with your fur babies - snuggling on the couch or placing tug of war. I never walk dogs off-leash unless it's at an owner-approved dog park and inside an enclosed area. I always walk on the sidewalks where possible and I stay on the side of traffic. I am always cautious when entering a house with cats to ensure no escapes occur on my watch. I always follow the owner's training and house rules to the best of my ability. The pets' safety is my first priority and when unsure of what to do, I use common sense or I will call the owner for direction.

About: I grew up with dogs and just love spending time with them. I have 5 years of occasional dog boarding and pet sitting experience. I also have volunteered for a dog rescue in Germany/Greece as well as here in Canada and have been a foster for puppies from Labrador and rescues from Texas since 2023. Me and my dog Murphy spend all day together as I work remotely and we usually always have time and space to welcome other dogs into our home! I work from home so me and my dog Murphy are available all day. All dogs in my home get walked 4 times a day and will get plenty of exercise, if required. Just give me some instructions and tell me your dog's quirks and needs and I will work around that. I also love teaching dogs new tricks! I have been a foster for rescue dogs for quite some time now and have worked with highly traumatized dogs, so me and my dog Murphy are used to special needs and behavior in other dogs.
About: I offer reliable, loving pet sitting and doggy day drop-offs from my home in a calm, safe environment. Because I work nights, I’m available during daytime hours, making me a great option for puppies or dogs who need daytime care and attention. I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets, including my own dogs as well as animals belonging to friends and family. I’ve had three dogs over the years and currently have a puppy, so I’m very familiar with puppy routines, energy levels, and training needs. Your pet will be cared for in a home setting with plenty of supervision, playtime, and rest. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I work evenings so I am often available during typical working hours. Occasionally I am available on my evenings off. My schedule changes week to week so it may be hard to update, but please don’t hesitate to reach out! I have a fenced in backyard and a very puppy proofed home! I have a friendly and energetic 14 month old puppy who would love to make new pals. I also have a spare crate if needed for naps/downtime.

“Mitch had never stayed with a stranger yet he had a lovely time with Nirali and her pups. We were visiting St John’s and needed somebody to watch Mitch for awhile. She was so responsive, flexible and kind. Mitch fell asleep in her lap which was incredible.‘I felt so confident in her and would recommend her to anybody. Thank you for taking such good care of Mitch. We appreciate you”

“Marion has done a perfect job managing our young, working Doberman. She knows exactly how to exercise him mentally and physically. There are few people I trust with my dog and Marion is one of them. Highly recommend.”

About: I have owned 3 cats and fostered one cat, and I have also lived in homes with dogs and enjoy small dogs especially. I like to focus my attention on rescue cats and pride myself on breaking down barriers with animals by getting to know them individually and reading their signals for affection, playtime, and care. My special skills are with high-needs cats. I own a cat named Talon with epilepsy who is a rescue, and my previous cat, Simba, who is no longer with us, suffered from HCM. My current cat Talon suffers from behavioural issues and seizures and I have gotten him to really open up through his complicated health history. I also have had a lot of experience in dealing with kittens, as I had my own cat, Simba, from six weeks old, and never left his side. However, I do love a beautiful pure-breed cat or dog and had a Siamese as a child, whom I carried to the grocery store in my jacket pocket. What sets me apart is my patience towards animals and my ability to read and show empathy to challenging animals. I am currently a full-time student studying Social Work online and can do pretty much anytime a bus route is present. I don't have many commitments besides the care of my own animals. I live downtown and have proximity to most places, being on the 10 route as well, within walking distance of the centre city. I can provide daily litter cleaning, feeding, and watering, and basic medication administration. I am also willing to take them outside or spend time with them playing and providing them with comfort while their pawrents are not home.
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was in 6th grade and have additional pet-sitting experience for several family members and friends. I absolutely LOVE all types of pets - big or small - and want to ensure your fur-baby feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. I am a certified primary/elementary teacher with NLSchools, meaning I have full availability during the summer to give your fur-baby the best possible care while you are away. Following the end of summer vacation, I will be gone during the day (M-F) for periods of up to 8 hours. I will do my best to accommodate any/all of your pet’s needs. I understand that every dog is different and may require special/additional care. As a pet-sitter in your home, I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect that they both deserve. ** Please note that my pets listed in my profile are family dogs that live with my parents. I keep them at my parent’s house when I am dog-sitting 😊
“We used Chantelle and David.again for our second time this past weekend and they were fabulous again. We were very secure in knowing our dog was in food hands. They arrived on time, took our dog Molly for her walk and sent us photos of her on the walk. We will definitely be using their services again and I would highly recommend them.”

I always keep a close eye on pets to ensure they are happy, secure, and comfortable.

About: I have been providing dog sitting services for some time now and decided to extend services through Rover in February 2026. I am an huge animal lover, adore nature and just want to give families the peace of mind when going away that I would want for my dogs. I have owned many dogs and have fostered too many to count. I was president of a rescue group for 10 years, 25 years volunteering with rescue groups and have extensive experience with small and large dogs, I have completed multiple obedience courses and have a strong knowledge of basic dog obedience and training. Dogs are a huge part of my life. I have regular clients I walk and that I provide pet sitting for in my home. I love to walk, hike, and jog. I build regular daily outdoor activity into my schedule and understand the importance of consistency for dogs. I am also flexible and can adjust to the needs of a dog when needed and I want to provide them with a place they can be content while their owner is away. Each dog is unique and I support a daily/weekly plan that supports their uniqueness. In order to get to know the needs and routines of all the dogs I care for, I ask each owner to complete a questionnaire outlining all I would need to know while caring for their dog. I treat each dog like my own and they are fully integrated into all aspects of our household. Regular interaction, belly rubs and treats (with owner permission) are daily occurrences.
“Joanna was absolutely fabulous! I was so happy that Jasper was so well cared for while we were out of town. She was very accommodating and flexible to meet up before our vacation to make sure that our dogs got along. She sent pictures and updates that helped reinforce that Jasper was well cared for and having a fun vacation of his own. I highly recommend Joanna and her adorable dog Ollie as excellent dog sitters!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dogs quite often when they travel and love it. I have always been around dogs and enjoy them :) I can be home in the day with the dogs! Walking and watching them daily. I work from home, so I am flexible! Look forward to meeting the dogs. I can easily crate your dog if need be, or allow them to go outside in my backyard. I will ensure to allow lots of outdoor time and walks!
“Emily was fantastic! We got updates and pictures our entire time away and Kobe came home a very happy and tired pup! We will definitely be using Emily again in the future. We could not have been happier with our experience!”
