Don was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos while dropping in to check on my cat. He left detailed summaries of each visit and my cat warmed up to him quickly! I would highly recommend him for any drop in needs you have!

Chastity is amazing. She checked in on my cat daily while I was out of town. She was incredibly helpful and responsive. My cat loves her, and she went above and beyond to take care of him! I will definitely book her the next time I am out of town!

We loved having Chelsea looking after our two small puppies! She was friendly and responsive to messages and was respectful of our house. We would happily have her look after our dogs again!

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: Are you looking for someone your pet will love? Look no further! I’m an active, compassionate sitter who truly listens to what your pet needs most whether that’s energetic adventures or peaceful snuggles. I’d love to meet your furry friend, provide them with the best care, and meet both their needs and yours as a pet owner. I would love to take your dog for a walk three days a week,Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. After an exciting morning walk ot play they'll be all tuckered out and ready to rest for the remainder of the day. It’s a great way for your pet to start the day off right! I would love to spend time with your pet and am able to provide them with whatever they need, whether that’s cuddling in a quiet environment or playing a high energy game or going for a walk. I’m flexible and happy to meet the needs of your furry companion.

About: I am a former Veterinary Technician with several years of clinical experience. Prior to graduating I worked at a variety of pet stores and learned to care for dogs, cats, lizards, birds and more. I've also previously worked as a dog walker for a kennel in Montreal. As a child, I also cared for the neighbourhood animals while their owners were on vacation I currently work full-time office hours Uptown. Available in the evenings and weekends. Early mornings can be discussed, dependent on distance and how early we're talking! Cannot care for other animals in my apartment, three animals in a one bedroom already has me at max capacity! However, I can work within the limits of your home with your pet! As a fellow pet owner, I understand the importance of trust and the ability for a pet sitter to follow instruction

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including dogs, cats, and small animals, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve looked after many furry friends over the years and take pride in being patient, gentle, and treating every pet like my own. Animal care fits naturally into my schedule. I work full time and do some cleaning on the side, but I truly love making time to spend with furry friends whenever I can. Pet visits and walks are something I genuinely look forward to, and I enjoy adding a little extra animal time into my days—it’s a joy, not a chore. I care for pets with patience, kindness, and respect for their routines, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure their safety at all times. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment so every pet feels secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: Hello everyone ! My name is Lyla Waycott. I’ve got on Rover to fill up my spare time spending time with animals and making some extra cash. I work full time at Mountain View Stables in Norton, therefore my schedule is limited primarily to late afternoons and evenings. That being said, I can accommodate early morning (before 7am) walks/drop-ins. If you take a look through my photos you’ll get a glimpse of my herd! I have one horse, three dogs and two cats. That being said, I’m quite comfortable with a variety of different species. Big & small, I love them all! I also have experience administering medication to horses, dogs and cats. Thanks to a fair amount of life experience I’m quite capable and knowledgeable with animals, though always eager to learn more!! I look forward to hearing from you and your furry family members, if you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to reach out!! Talk soon. Take care, Lyla && the herd ❤️ As mentioned above, my availability is primarily late afternoons (after 4pm) and evenings. Though I can make early mornings (before 7am) work as well. I already have a schedule set in place with my animals, so I’m just looking to squeeze in a few extra hours of “work” in with Rover a week!! I will always do my best to make your animals comfortable with my presence and to make our visits as enjoyable and fun for us both as possible. I’m comfortable with and able to crate dogs after my visit if need be, I have experience using shock collars and walking reactive dogs if either things are a concern. I will always respect any safety measures you have in place.

About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals, big, small, young and old. I have experience taking care of different types of dogs and would love to care for yours! I work 9-5 Monday to Friday but I could do evenings and weekends. As well as the occasional lunch hour if the pet is in my area. My prices are flexible depending on what your pet needs and the length of time. I can top up your animals food and water/ clean water bowls. Play with them, take them for a walk or whatever you and your pet needs!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in St. John on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 21 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in St. John. About 100% of St. John sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 21 sitters in St. John, 100% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 St. John 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!

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
