We also live right next to the walking trails in Mount Pearl and go on several walks per day.
“Had an amazing experience with Jessica and Anthony! They treated my two cats like their own—attentive to all their needs and kept me updated the entire time I was away. I couldn’t have asked for better care!”
About: I've always been good with animals, I'm great at understanding their body language and respecting their boundaries. I have good control of my tone of voice when speaking to animals and they respond to it well. I've taken care of dogs and cats myself. I've even kept a bunny company. I have a lot of patience, and I genuinely care about the wellbeing of every living being I come across so I take their care very seriously. I'm currently working part-time tutoring through zoom. I'm going back to university classes in the fall semester but I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I'm very attentive and careful when taking care of them, I've cared for puppies and kittens as well. I don't leave them out of my sight. I play with them and make sure they're behaving.

About: I have over 20 years of personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, and I currently share my home with two lovely cats. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to help them feel safe and relaxed.

I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and drop-in visits, and I always make sure each pet receives consistent attention and care. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, routines, and household rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I respect each pet’s personality and comfort level and give them the time and space they need to feel relaxed. My priority is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care in their familiar home environment.

About: Hello! My name is Victoria :) I’ve been a Rover sitter in Ontario for the past two years and have now re-located back home to Newfoundland. I have absolutely loved my time as a sitter in Ontario and am looking to continue within the metro region in NL :) I work full-time in the Early Childhood Education field and am a huge animal lover! I have experience looking after dogs, cats and bunnies, as well as owning dogs and cats throughout my life. Please reach out if you have any questions :) I look forward to meeting some new furry faces! I work full-time as an early childhood educator :). I currently work split shift so between shifts I can be back to hang out with your pet! I have my own vehicle as well so transportation is not an issue :) Your fur baby will be given so much love and affection as if they’re my own :) I am always on top of making sure their food and water is full, their potty area is clean, and they get lots of play time. I’m always sure to give plenty of updates with cute pictures and videos of your pet
About: I am an experienced pet owner and lover of animals of all kinds! I grew up with several large dogs who were always an integral part of our family. My aunt also owns a pet care business-- loving and caring for pets runs in the family! I currently live with two wonderful rescue dogs and have volunteer and worked with dogs and cats throughout the last ten years. I have worked with several dog trainers on specific training methods and commands. I am comfortable with dogs (and other pets) of all sizes and have experience with medication and special diets. My flexible work-from-home career allows me to be available throughout the day, as well! I'm available for check-ins, walks, or other care needs throughout the day and evening. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule to care for your pet during the day and evening or anything in between! I live in near downtown and can get to most locations in town in about 10 minutes. I am happy to follow any outlined procedures and rules for your pets. I take pet safety and security very seriously (and know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your pet). Your pet will never be off leash, and I will take extensive care to ensure they are always under my observation. I am happy to send you a text and picture after our walks or check-ins!
About: I started dog sitting at the age of 11 for family members, and now I’ve been caring for pets for others for the past 12 years and I absolutely love it! I know how much pets mean to their families, so I always show up with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away! I currently work a part time job Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. I’m available for walking services most afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. For house sitting, I can stay at the home full time outside of my work hours, and depending on the location, I’m happy to stop by midday as well! Pet care fits into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it, and I make it a point to be as flexible and reliable as possible for each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away! I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, walks, and I also make sure their space stays clean and that they’re getting the love and attention they’re used to. Every pet is different, so I always follow any specific instructions to keep them happy and stress-free!
About: Growing up with pets my whole life I have lots of experience with small and large breeds. I have taken care of anxious pups, ones with loads of energy, and small puppies. I have a senior dog myself and I have plenty of experience with unique needs that may come with age. I’m a Social Work student at Memorial. I’m currently doing part-time studies and working part-time until the end of August. Beginning in September I will be on work term, working Monday to Friday. Providing the best care for your pets in the comfort of their space is something I take pride in. I’ll be sure to have clear communication about your pet’s needs and how to bond best in their environment.
About: I enjoy going walks myself, and it's even better to have an animal with you for company - whether that's just going around the block or a multi-hour trek. I have plenty of experience in safely navigating city streets, trails, and parks; I've been around animals as long as I can remember, and have a lot of fond memories of them. I have a fairly open schedule, and I can be available to care for and to walk your pet throughout the week and on weekends I am a very adaptable person, and I can easily accommodate the specific needs of your pet in your home. I live near and am familiar with a variety of trail networks ideal for walks.
“Cats were happy and healthy when we got home, bowls of water and food were full :) Litter looked to be done and one of the cats had medication, which she successfully gave! I would rebook with her again :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my life since the age of 12. I am familiar with various animal medical conditions, skilled in medication administration, and sensitivity to dietary restrictions. I hike with my own dog daily for at least 1 hour, and would love to have your furry loved ones join us! I currently work full-time but can flexibly accommodate drop in visits and walks during the week with sufficient notice. Friday to Sunday I am available for pet boarding at my home. I have a fenced yard and one senior English Setter to keep your furry friends company. My home is pet safe and animals are allowed on the furniture and beds. In clients homes, I ensure that messes are cleaned up urgently and that your pet has everything they need!
About: I have owned 3 cats and fostered one cat, and I have also lived in homes with dogs and enjoy small dogs especially. I like to focus my attention on rescue cats and pride myself on breaking down barriers with animals by getting to know them individually and reading their signals for affection, playtime, and care. My special skills are with high-needs cats. I own a cat named Talon with epilepsy who is a rescue, and my previous cat, Simba, who is no longer with us, suffered from HCM. My current cat Talon suffers from behavioural issues and seizures and I have gotten him to really open up through his complicated health history. I also have had a lot of experience in dealing with kittens, as I had my own cat, Simba, from six weeks old, and never left his side. However, I do love a beautiful pure-breed cat or dog and had a Siamese as a child, whom I carried to the grocery store in my jacket pocket. What sets me apart is my patience towards animals and my ability to read and show empathy to challenging animals. I am currently a full-time student studying Social Work online and can do pretty much anytime a bus route is present. I don't have many commitments besides the care of my own animals. I live downtown and have proximity to most places, being on the 10 route as well, within walking distance of the centre city. I can provide daily litter cleaning, feeding, and watering, and basic medication administration. I am also willing to take them outside or spend time with them playing and providing them with comfort while their pawrents are not home.
About: All pets will be loved and taken care of, they will definitely be my priority during the time they are with me. Had dogs for the major part of my childhood, so growing up connecting to pets is not much of a problem for me. Will be playing with them pretty much all the time for sure, do not have to worry about any kinds of danger, safety will be ensured first. Any kind of special care requested will be happily accepted and extra attention will be payed towards the concern. Would love to stay connected to each pet, should expect me to secretly give treats to all the good pets out there ☺️💙 Every service provided will be the best. So when can I meet your pet??! 🤩

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - St. John's
I was so glad Jessica and Anthony were able to come take care of Maggi! They were great communicators from the start and throughout the booking and very open about their availability. I appreciated the comments and photos that let me see how well my cat was doing. I would hire them again without hesitation!
Molly was so great with my two kitties while I was away. After having some not great experiences with cat sitters, she completely put me (and the kitties) at ease with her daily updates, easy communication, and lots of photos. I asked if she could drop in a little earlier as my kitties were used to this routine, and she had absolutely no problem with it and was there for all of their needs. Even my shy kitty warmed up to her in just a few days. I will definitely be using her service again in the future and highly recommend her!
Julia did a wonderful job looking after my cat Maggi while I was travelling for work. I really appreciated her daily updates, videos and pictures. When I came home after four days away, I could tell that my cat had been looked after well. I hope to work with Julia again soon!
Elijah provided exceptional care to my cat while I was away for a few days. He kept me updated throughout and was able to administer his medication effectively. Communication was exceptional and I truly felt that my cat was well looked after. Could not recommend Elijah enough!!
