About: I’ve had pets in my family my whole life. I’ve had many cats over the years and I’ve had a Lab for over 8 years that I’ve had since he was a puppy. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for boarding, dog walking and in-home visits. I have a big backyard where your pups can stretch their legs. I am familiar with crating as I crate trained my dog when he was a pup. I can and enjoy providing updates with pictures to pet owners!

I’m primarily available evenings, weekends and lunch time during the week for drop-ins, extended stays, and overnight care. Whether your pup needs a quick visit or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their usual routine and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. 🐶 I’m also happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand so you and your pet can get to know me! My availability varies throughout the week, but I’m generally available for daytime drop-ins, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits as needed and work around you and your pet’s routine! 🐾 I have a passion for ensuring all fur babies are cared for as if they were my own and making sure they are safe while mom and/or dad are away ❤️
About: 🐾 Welcome! I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and have cared for them since I was a child. As a true dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building a connection with them. They bring so much happiness into my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I have a 3-year-old dog named Neo and 11 months old pup named Theo, they are friendly, playful, and loving pups. They enjoy meeting other dogs and would be happy to have some furry friends to spend time with. We provide a safe, caring, and welcoming environment where your dog can feel comfortable, relaxed, and part of the family. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well looked after. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. I am committed to giving pets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, and I will treat your furry family member with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Our home provides a safe, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel comfortable. We maintain a consistent routine, provide close supervision, and ensure every dog receives plenty of exercise, affection, and care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their dog is safe, happy, and treated like part of the family while they’re away.
“Maggie took care of our Australian shepherd, Jersey, while we were out of town on vacation. She was so kind and took such good care of our girl, bringing her for walks frequently, Sent lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience when it comes to dogs and have grown up around them my whole life. I was raised by parents that worked with animals and learned a lot about how to care and connect with them. Iam able to administer medications and attend to dogs of any age including puppies. When my husband and I got a dog of our own for the first time our hearts became even more full with love for animals Wich is something I didn’t think possible. Being a dog mom to a loving happy and goofy dog like Bodhi has changed my life. He is truly the heart of our home and caring for him is so fulfilling. Welcoming your dog in our home will just be another incredible addition where we can share our love for animals and care for them like they are our own. I am an artist currently working from home so I am incredibly flexible when it comes to dog care. I have tons of time for play and walks and cuddles so your pet will get lots of attention. On weekends my husband and I go hiking when the weather is good and love to take Bodhi for the nature and exercise, we love to be outside. I live in a great ground floor condo with a walkout porch and a front lawn, right next to me there is a yard with a fence separating us from any traffic or stores. There is lots of room for play and fun and makes potty breaks convenient and easy :) My neighbours are all dog lovers as well and welcome all new furry friends with loving arms. I live only 2 minutes away from Bowring park and go there everyday for a huge walk with Bodhi living close is such a blessing cause he loves the park. As most dogs do, it’s a great place to walk them and let them explore. So you can count on your dog getting a nice big walk in during the day :) Bodhi is a super loving and playful dog who loves other dogs and playing so you know your dog will have a best friend when they stay with us. Dogs are welcome in the bed, on the couch and anywhere in our home. They are family and are treated as such :)
“I am a return client! Pickle spent 3 whole weeks with Melanie and her family. Melanie really took care of Pickle like her own dog! Pickle had so much fun during the stay and he definitely fit right in! Highly recommended and will definitely return for more dog-sitting again!”
About: I grew up in a home that always had a dog, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of my life. I’ve regularly watched family and neighbours’ dogs and have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, including dogs who are not social with other dogs. I’m comfortable providing one-on-one care and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Since we are a family with children, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable and good with kids. We’re a very active and loving family who enjoys getting outside, especially going for walks. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I’ll treat your pup like part of our family while they’re in our care. I work from home two days a week, which gives me the flexibility to be home for much of the day and provide regular attention and care. On the days I’m working outside the home, I’m able to stop home for pee breaks and check-ins. I understand that every pup has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to work closely with pet parents to create a schedule that works best for you and your dog. Whether your pup needs extra potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where your dog can enjoy some fresh air and playtime in a safe environment. We currently don’t have any pets at home. We are still mending our hearts after the recent passing of our beloved dog, who was a very special part of our family. Because of this, we understand just how much your furry family member mean to us. Our home includes our loving 6 year old boy, so visiting dogs must be comfortable and good with children. We’re happy to accommodate your pup’s individual routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and at home while they’re with us. For overnight stays, sleeping in a crate is preferred, as we want to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for everyone. Most importantly, your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles while they’re here.
“Our dog had a wonderful experience with Vincent and his wife. He was walked daily and received a lot of love and attention from these true pet lovers. I was nervous leaving him at first but Vincent sent daily texts and pictures which reassured us of the quality care he received. We would 100% use Vincent again and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”
About: I have been providing dog sitting services for some time now and decided to extend services through Rover in February 2026. I am an huge animal lover, adore nature and just want to give families the peace of mind when going away that I would want for my dogs. I have owned many dogs and have fostered too many to count. I was president of a rescue group for 10 years, 25 years volunteering with rescue groups and have extensive experience with small and large dogs, I have completed multiple obedience courses and have a strong knowledge of basic dog obedience and training. Dogs are a huge part of my life. I have regular clients I walk and that I provide pet sitting for in my home. I love to walk, hike, and jog. I build regular daily outdoor activity into my schedule and understand the importance of consistency for dogs. I am also flexible and can adjust to the needs of a dog when needed and I want to provide them with a place they can be content while their owner is away. Each dog is unique and I support a daily/weekly plan that supports their uniqueness. In order to get to know the needs and routines of all the dogs I care for, I ask each owner to complete a questionnaire outlining all I would need to know while caring for their dog. I treat each dog like my own and they are fully integrated into all aspects of our household. Regular interaction, belly rubs and treats (with owner permission) are daily occurrences.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - St. John's
Joanna was absolutely fabulous! I was so happy that Jasper was so well cared for while we were out of town. She was very accommodating and flexible to meet up before our vacation to make sure that our dogs got along. She sent pictures and updates that helped reinforce that Jasper was well cared for and having a fun vacation of his own. I highly recommend Joanna and her adorable dog Ollie as excellent dog sitters!

Jessica and Anthony are amazing!! We were provided with updates and photos the whole time and felt perfectly comfortable. Our girl looked super happy every day, and they went above and beyond what we could’ve expected. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our pets with them again!

Ana went above and beyond and I felt so grateful to have my Potato in the care of someone so attentive and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter. Feels great to know I have someone like her to go to if I ever need a sitter again.

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 .
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 .
