“Rayna and her family are amazing! Very kind and friendly persons. My dog was very pleased cared and happy with them. For sure I will reach her out next time, if they are available.”
“Albina did a fantastic job watching my puppy Cid !! She provided me with daily updates to let me know how he was doing ! You can tell she has an affinity for animals as he was comfortable with her right away ! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter !!”
“Once again, Leslie and Rob are just fantastic! We got stuck away for three extra nights unexpectedly due to weather, and they continued to take care of our dogs Pippa and Nova without hesitation! It provided us 100% peace of mind being able to travel and knowing they are being cared for in such a loving and caring home, and so well looked after. Leslie went over and beyond to ensure Nova had her medications, and sent regular updates. Their fenced in backyard is amazing, and the dogs fit into their beautiful home with their sweet dog Gauge perfectly. Pippa and Nova are excited for their next stay over!”
“We are lucky that our girl Evelyn even came home with us! Denise & Gary treated her like a queen and she absolutely loved her stay with them. She enjoyed lots of walks and a lot of love & attention, they treated her like their own and I didn’t worry about her at all.”
“It was the first time leaving our high-energy rescue dog with someone other than family or friends who stayed at our house and I had a lot of anxiety about leaving her for two whole weeks while out of the country. But Tasha made me feel very comfortable, listened to all my crazy dog-mom anxiety ridden instructions and assured me my girl would be ok. She provided regular updates and photos which were appreciated so much and really made me feel better seeing how happy she was in our absence. Would definitely recommend Tasha, she’s great!”
“I cannot speak highly enough about the care that Sydney provided my doge… She always answered me back right away, sent me lots of pictures and videos, and she was so flexible and so accommodating… I will 100% be hiring her again”
“Our dogs had an absolute blast during their stay! Katarina kept us updated and sent pics and was flexible with pick up and drop off which we really appreciated! They will absolutely be our go to place to send our dogs anytime we are in the St. John’s area!”
About: 🐾 Welcome! I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and have cared for them since I was a child. As a true dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building a connection with them. They bring so much happiness into my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I have a 3-year-old dog named Neo and 11 months old pup named Theo, they are friendly, playful, and loving pups. They enjoy meeting other dogs and would be happy to have some furry friends to spend time with. We provide a safe, caring, and welcoming environment where your dog can feel comfortable, relaxed, and part of the family. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well looked after. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. I am committed to giving pets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, and I will treat your furry family member with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Our home provides a safe, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel comfortable. We maintain a consistent routine, provide close supervision, and ensure every dog receives plenty of exercise, affection, and care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their dog is safe, happy, and treated like part of the family while they’re away.
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. I live in a great ground floor condo with a walkout porch and a front lawn, right next to me there is a yard with a fence separating us from any traffic or stores. There is lots of room for play and fun and makes potty breaks convenient and easy :) My neighbours are all dog lovers as well and welcome all new furry friends with loving arms. I live only 2 minutes away from Bowring park and go there everyday for a huge walk with Bodhi living close is such a blessing cause he loves the park. 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 :)
“Melanie took care of my dog Pickle over the weekend and she absolutely did a fabulous job. Plenty of update with pics and videos throughout the stay. Pickle obviously had a great time with Melanie and her family. Will definitely go back to Melanie again. Thank you 😊”
“Maggie took care of our Australian shepherd, Jersey, while we were out of town on vacation. She was so kind and took such good care of our girl, bringing her for walks frequently, Sent lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up in a home that always had a dog, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of my life. I’ve regularly watched family and neighbours’ dogs and have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, including dogs who are not social with other dogs. I’m comfortable providing one-on-one care and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Since we are a family with children, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable and good with kids. We’re a very active and loving family who enjoys getting outside, especially going for walks. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I’ll treat your pup like part of our family while they’re in our care. I work from home two days a week, which gives me the flexibility to be home for much of the day and provide regular attention and care. On the days I’m working outside the home, I’m able to stop home for pee breaks and check-ins. I understand that every pup has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to work closely with pet parents to create a schedule that works best for you and your dog. Whether your pup needs extra potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where your dog can enjoy some fresh air and playtime in a safe environment. We currently don’t have any pets at home. We are still mending our hearts after the recent passing of our beloved dog, who was a very special part of our family. Because of this, we understand just how much your furry family member mean to us. Our home includes our loving 6 year old boy, so visiting dogs must be comfortable and good with children. We’re happy to accommodate your pup’s individual routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and at home while they’re with us. For overnight stays, sleeping in a crate is preferred, as we want to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for everyone. Most importantly, your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles while they’re here.
“Our dog had a wonderful experience with Vincent and his wife. He was walked daily and received a lot of love and attention from these true pet lovers. I was nervous leaving him at first but Vincent sent daily texts and pictures which reassured us of the quality care he received. We would 100% use Vincent again and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”
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.
“Steve was amazing..He sent few pics of my dog during his stay..We were quite comfortable leaving him for the first time..We definitely recommend Steve.and the great app which is so user friendly..Thk you Steve from all of us.. especially Gallie.❤️”

“We had a great experience with our pet sitter, Elijah! He took excellent care of our cat, Socks, over three days. The best part was the detailed updates and photos each day, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Reliable, caring, and great communication throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Julia is so reliable and thorough and her love for animals is infectious. I always feel like she appreciates my pets as I would do while I’m away and that they are in trusted hands!”
“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!”
“Many thanks, Denise and Gary for professional care of Bomber Cat. Very kind, communicative and friendly people. I really appreciate the peace of mind they provided while away from home and Bomber.”
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 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've always been good with animals, I'm great at understanding their body language and respecting their boundaries. I have good control of my tone of voice when speaking to animals and they respond to it well. I've taken care of dogs and cats myself. I've even kept a bunny company. I have a lot of patience, and I genuinely care about the wellbeing of every living being I come across so I take their care very seriously. I'm currently working part-time tutoring through zoom. I'm going back to university classes in the fall semester but I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I'm very attentive and careful when taking care of them, I've cared for puppies and kittens as well. I don't leave them out of my sight. I play with them and make sure they're behaving.

Now I wish to return the love and comfort they provided me. Giving dogs the walks and runs in a safe environment. Cats play with toys and chill time they enjoy. I am available most days during the week. I work from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Also I am able to do visits for your pets within most areas of the north east avalon region. Eg: St. John's and Mount Pearl. Again if you have any more questions about me please dont hestitate to ask. I will be more then happy to assist. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I am available upon request. Please check with me to book a pet appointment and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I have a fully fenced yard.

“Cats were happy and healthy when we got home, bowls of water and food were full :) Litter looked to be done and one of the cats had medication, which she successfully gave! I would rebook with her again :)”
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
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been something that I am passionate about. My own dogs are my babies, and over the years I’ve also loved helping friends and family care for their pets. I’m especially passionate about dogs and their individual personalities. I have experience with senior dogs and reactive dogs, and I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, boundaries, and comfort levels. I’m also very interested in training and enjoy continuing to learn about dog behaviour and positive reinforcement training techniques. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, with very flexible availability. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I currently work rotation work so have an open availability on my time home. However, I recently finished up for the season so can be accommodating to most times! If I take your pets into my own home I have a fenced in backyard and close access to lots of walking trails and places for adventures. Preference would be given to caring for them in your home to keep their routine as much as possible, and give them the same attention and companionship they are used to.
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that cats need patience, space, and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I currently have two lovely cats and have cared for cats with different personalities and routines. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection — always on your cat’s terms. I will also send regular photos and updates so you know your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Growing up with pets my whole life I have lots of experience with small and large breeds. I have taken care of anxious pups, ones with loads of energy, and small puppies. I have a senior dog myself and I have plenty of experience with unique needs that may come with age. I’m a Social Work student at Memorial. I’m currently doing part-time studies and working part-time until the end of August. Beginning in September I will be on work term, working Monday to Friday. Providing the best care for your pets in the comfort of their space is something I take pride in. I’ll be sure to have clear communication about your pet’s needs and how to bond best in their environment.

About: I have a Westie and a Gordon Setter. Both love other dogs. Everything I do revolves around them. I have had much experience having other dogs in my home. Our little family is welcoming, quiet and happy. We have hosted larger and smaller breeds. I have a fenced backyard which also offers some freedom to our furry friends. My own dogs are very well behaved and friendly. They love other dogs and even some people ;-) I currently work from home so my schedule offers me a lot of free time. I always make our guests part of the family. They have full run of the house. I always say this is like going to Grandmas, the rules are very flexible and cuddles are a must! Pets are my priority. Most people who know me know that my life revolves around them. My usual excuse is “I can’t, I have dogs to get home to”. And I’m perfectly happy with that. I believe that their lives are so short already, they deserve to have as much of our attention and love as possible.

“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.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve cared for cats, hamsters, parrots, and a guinea pig, and have occasionally helped with a friend’s dog. I’m confident in providing daily care, feeding, cleaning, and giving lots of attention to keep pets happy. Whether furry, feathered, or small, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently stay at home with a flexible schedule, caring for my children and managing household tasks. This allows me plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, and play throughout the day, including weekdays and weekends. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and clean environment. While my backyard is not fenced, it is completely safe and offers plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I always keep a close eye on pets to ensure they are happy, secure, and comfortable.
About: Ive spent the past three years caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, and I truly treat every pup like my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing extra patience and gentle care, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands, receiving not only reliable care but also plenty of attention, affection, and tail wags I’m currently in school, which means I spend a lot of time at home and can be there for your pets throughout the day. I don’t like leaving dogs alone for long stretches, no matter their age or breed — their comfort and happiness always come first. To keep them on a consistent routine, I wake up early to make sure they get a nice morning walk, and I also take them out in the evening so they can wind down happily. My schedule allows me to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. When I care for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to keep them safe, comfortable, and in a familiar environment where they feel most at ease. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely — from feeding routines and walks to playtime and cuddles — to make sure their needs are always met. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, giving them plenty of attention and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is to provide not only reliable care but also the trust and peace of mind that your pets are happy and secure in their own space.

About: I've always been good with animals, I'm great at understanding their body language and respecting their boundaries. I have good control of my tone of voice when speaking to animals and they respond to it well. I've taken care of dogs and cats myself. I've even kept a bunny company. I have a lot of patience, and I genuinely care about the wellbeing of every living being I come across so I take their care very seriously. I'm currently working part-time tutoring through zoom. I'm going back to university classes in the fall semester but I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I'm very attentive and careful when taking care of them, I've cared for puppies and kittens as well. I don't leave them out of my sight. I play with them and make sure they're behaving.
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’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
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been something that I am passionate about. My own dogs are my babies, and over the years I’ve also loved helping friends and family care for their pets. I’m especially passionate about dogs and their individual personalities. I have experience with senior dogs and reactive dogs, and I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, boundaries, and comfort levels. I’m also very interested in training and enjoy continuing to learn about dog behaviour and positive reinforcement training techniques. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, with very flexible availability. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I currently work rotation work so have an open availability on my time home. However, I recently finished up for the season so can be accommodating to most times! If I take your pets into my own home I have a fenced in backyard and close access to lots of walking trails and places for adventures. Preference would be given to caring for them in your home to keep their routine as much as possible, and give them the same attention and companionship they are used to.

“Once again, Leslie and Rob are just fantastic! We got stuck away for three extra nights unexpectedly due to weather, and they continued to take care of our dogs Pippa and Nova without hesitation! It provided us 100% peace of mind being able to travel and knowing they are being cared for in such a loving and caring home, and so well looked after. Leslie went over and beyond to ensure Nova had her medications, and sent regular updates. Their fenced in backyard is amazing, and the dogs fit into their beautiful home with their sweet dog Gauge perfectly. Pippa and Nova are excited for their next stay over!”
“It was the first time leaving our high-energy rescue dog with someone other than family or friends who stayed at our house and I had a lot of anxiety about leaving her for two whole weeks while out of the country. But Tasha made me feel very comfortable, listened to all my crazy dog-mom anxiety ridden instructions and assured me my girl would be ok. She provided regular updates and photos which were appreciated so much and really made me feel better seeing how happy she was in our absence. Would definitely recommend Tasha, she’s great!”
“Our dogs had an absolute blast during their stay! Katarina kept us updated and sent pics and was flexible with pick up and drop off which we really appreciated! They will absolutely be our go to place to send our dogs anytime we are in the St. John’s area!”

About: I grew up in a home that always had a dog, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of my life. I’ve regularly watched family and neighbours’ dogs and have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, including dogs who are not social with other dogs. I’m comfortable providing one-on-one care and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Since we are a family with children, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable and good with kids. We’re a very active and loving family who enjoys getting outside, especially going for walks. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I’ll treat your pup like part of our family while they’re in our care. I work from home two days a week, which gives me the flexibility to be home for much of the day and provide regular attention and care. On the days I’m working outside the home, I’m able to stop home for pee breaks and check-ins. I understand that every pup has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to work closely with pet parents to create a schedule that works best for you and your dog. Whether your pup needs extra potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where your dog can enjoy some fresh air and playtime in a safe environment. We currently don’t have any pets at home. We are still mending our hearts after the recent passing of our beloved dog, who was a very special part of our family. Because of this, we understand just how much your furry family member mean to us. Our home includes our loving 6 year old boy, so visiting dogs must be comfortable and good with children. We’re happy to accommodate your pup’s individual routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and at home while they’re with us. For overnight stays, sleeping in a crate is preferred, as we want to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for everyone. Most importantly, your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles while they’re here.
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.
“Steve was amazing..He sent few pics of my dog during his stay..We were quite comfortable leaving him for the first time..We definitely recommend Steve.and the great app which is so user friendly..Thk you Steve from all of us.. especially Gallie.❤️”
