“We last minute booked our Arlo for doggy daycare with Chealsea and her dog Charlie. We were very pleased with the updates, and caution she took introducing our dog to Charlie. We felt comfortable, and very happy to receive a tired out dog after being outside all day! We will definitely be reaching out in the future”
“Bee Gee received lots of attention and thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Pinjing. We received lots of photos and videos that really helped us feel comfortable. We are pleased to recommend Pinjing.”
“Was very communicative and sent updates throughout Darcy’s stay. Was so nice our pet, treated her as if Darcy was her own! Felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Yingying 😊”
“Bhavraj is an incredible sitter. I was away for a long work meeting and he took care of my dog and cat who’s a senior. He sent me frequent updates, asked a lot of questions and was even concerned about them when he was away. I will book him again and again. He’s amazing. Left my home the way it was.”
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: Hi! I have been brought up with animals in my family home since I was born. Being around dogs/cats/horses/hamsters and more. After relocating to Canada due to a work placement via my partner, and living in rented accommodation where we can't have our own pets, I felt this was a great way to help the community and cure my cravings for some time with animals! After recently moving to Rothesay giving up my recent job in pet Valu. I felt it would be good to venture out and start this journey while still with animals as I love dogs. Unfortunately this is not a service I can offer at this time. This may be a service that will become available in due time. Thanks for your understanding.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in St. John on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 14 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in St. John. About 91% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your St. John commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NB ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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.
