“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.”
“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!
“We have had great experiences with Brooke. She looked after our Golden Retriever for one day, and a separate time, for one week while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures and gave us lots of updates on how he was doing. She was reliable and easy to communicate with and most importantly, she made our dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Brooke and I hope she is available the next time we need a dog sitter!”
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.
“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!”

Kateryna not only took care of my dog Penni’s needs , yet totally enjoyed having her . Although this sit was the longest for Penni - I was reassured and had frequent and easy communication throughout the stay. I have already rebooked . Thank you again Kateryna ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Rover
Brooke took such great care of our giant puppy! She took him to do so many fun things, walks and hikes and swims and play time with other dogs, she sent regular pictures and videos and updates about his days with her. Her flexibility was so reassuring, as we were travelling for medical appointments which can sometimes be unpredictable. Our pup had the best time with Brooke! Absolutely book with her! You will not regret it.

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.
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.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
You and your St. John sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
