“Don was great with our 2 small pups! He used the app for checking in and out so we knew when he was there and he sent us little summaries through the app with photos everyday which was nice. His love of dogs was very apparent and his excitement to see our dogs each day made it feel like we were doing him a favour and not the other way around! We felt confident and safe having Don in our home caring for dogs and wouldn’t hesitant to work with him again!”
“We are so grateful for the care you provided for our cat on such short notice over the holidays. It was a huge relief knowing they were in such good hands. Communication was great, and it was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again—thank you so much!”
“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've raised and trained 4 dogs, with one being trained and registered as a Service Animal. My dog is not an animal but part of my family and I will treat yours with the same care and attention. I am flexible to meet whatever needs you and your pet have. I am availalbe early morning, to late at night and even over night. I provide safe, loving, and personalized care. I follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of playtime, walks, and affection, and ensure they feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“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!”
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: 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’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: 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.
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 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.
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - St. John
Amelia's care for Levi was exceptional as usual! Her services are very dependable and she is very caring, always looking out for Levi's best interests. We had forgotten to look after a couple of things and she was quick to look after these matters as soon as she arrived at our home, which made Levi very comfortable! Her love for animals shows in the way she looks after their needs! I am usually nervous about leaving our Levi at home but I felt completely confident that he would be well loved by Amelia! Thanks so much for being such a reliable and loving sitter! 10 Star Sitter for sure!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in St. John on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 45 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in St. John. About 96% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a St. John stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
