About: I am originally from India and now living in Canada. I love animals and am happy to care for both dogs and cats, including overnight care. I have a 13-year-old dog whom I care for deeply, so I understand the patience and attention senior pets need. I am a hardworking, reliable person with no fear of getting my hands dirty, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets of all breeds and personalities. I am currently a student and can dedicate the full day on friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Apart from these days, please contact me, as I mostly have online classes. I have one pet dog in my home country whom I miss a lot, as I have years of attachment with him. I assure you that I will provide the best service that I can.

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: As a dog lover and owner myself, I have a deep understanding and appreciation for the joy and companionship that dogs bring into our lives. Since 2019, I have been caring for my own furry baby and have also had the pleasure of looking after friends' dogs as well. They have all said that I am a reliable and trustworthy caretaker, providing love and attention while making sure their pets are safe and comfortable. Playing games such as tug of war and catch with dogs is one of my favorite activities, as it allows me to bond with them and see their playful personalities shine through. Above all, the happiness and fulfillment I get from taking dogs out for a walk is unparalleled, and I am excited to share that joy with your furry companions. I work from home so I am generally open anytime from 10 am to 6 pm. I can do lunch potty breaks or afternoon walks. I do not currently offer services to care for dogs in my own home, or in the client's home. But for dog walks, I always stick to the areas with less people, sidewalks, and parks. If the neighbourhood seems good, I will try to stick to the neighbourhood.

About: I spend most of my days off walking, running, or hitting the trails— and I would love to bring your pup along! I can also do drop in visits, along with other services. Let me know what their exercise needs are, and if you are actively training in any areas so I can stay structured in their routines :) I work 12-hour rotating shifts, so my schedule can be a bit complicated. However, I will make sure to keep my availability updated weekly basis. In my home, I have no other animals or small children, and a semi-enclosed backyard. However, I always ensure pets are leashed during bathroom breaks for safety. In your home, I’ll follow your specific requirements to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure.

He’s an old man now but still too cute. I currently don’t have any employment or school, so i will be able to keep an eye on your pets and be with your pet(s) at all times.

About: I grew up with golden retrievers and bernease mountain dogs all throughout my child hood. I enjoy and connect very well with all dogs and take them in as my own. Let me give you peace of mind by knowing that I truly care for you pet and by enjoying spending time with them as I can’t have my own because of my current landlords restrictions. I have previous dog sitting experience, sometimes for weeks at a time. I feel confident your pet will enjoy the precious time I can give them. Thank you for taking the time to consider my services for you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your precious one. A dog is truly a mans best friend.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - St. John

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in St. John on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 55 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in St. John. About 79% 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in St. John. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in St. John.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in St. John with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker 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 walker.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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!

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.
