Once again, Leslie and Rob are just fantastic! We got stuck away for three extra nights unexpectedly due to weather, and they continued to take care of our dogs Pippa and Nova without hesitation! It provided us 100% peace of mind being able to travel and knowing they are being cared for in such a loving and caring home, and so well looked after. Leslie went over and beyond to ensure Nova had her medications, and sent regular updates. Their fenced in backyard is amazing, and the dogs fit into their beautiful home with their sweet dog Gauge perfectly. Pippa and Nova are excited for their next stay over!

Tasha took on our two, 60lb husky/Sheppard/malamute mixes and she did an amazing job looking after them for 2 weeks. They came home happy and completely stress free which indicated they were well cared for. She also kept us updated on how they were doing, and was quick to respond with any questions we had. Would definitely book with Tasha 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’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs and cats. I’ve helped care for family pets, walked neighborhood dogs, and provided overnight care for friends and family while they were away. I’m confident handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like my own—with patience, love, and respect. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away👍 I’m currently doing online studies and not working at the moment, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I’m available Monday through Saturday for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. Whether your pet needs attention during the day or evening, I’m happy to work around your schedule. Sundays are my only day off, but feel free to reach out anytime! I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone is caring for your pet in your home. I treat every home with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own. I follow any specific instructions you provide and always prioritize your pet’s routine, safety, and comfort. I take time to build trust with both pets and owners, creating a calm and reliable environment. Your pet’s well-being—and your peace of mind—are my top priorities. If you’d like updates while you’re away, I’m more than happy to send messages, photos, or videos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared

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.

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.

Katarina and Shane were so wonderful and accommodating. This was the longest we have ever left our baby girl and she had such a great time. She was allowed on the couch and even got to spend time with other dogs in the their house. They were very responsive with messaging back and they sent pictures throughout her stay. They even modified the booking for an extra day when our trip home was delayed. Shady immediately loved Katarina as soon as she opened the door at drop off. Shady was more excited to go with her at drop off then she was to come home with us at pick up. We would absolutely have Shady stay with them on any future trips! I wish I could put 10 stars!

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 :)

This was our first time using this service. We went and interviewed with Steve. He was very kind and and polite when we met. We decided to book with him. And he treated our girl like his own. She was so very well looked after. We can not say enough about it. When we checked in on her. We were given pics to show how happy she was. As well as any news. What a great experience we have had and moving forward as long as he is free we will be booking with Steve again. If you need someone. Meet with Steve and his care for your pet will be amazing.

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.

What else can I say about Rayna and Nigel? This is Lucille’s third stay with them this summer which is probably the biggest testament that I could give to the quality of their care. They are patient and kind with Lucille and her quirks and quarks. The updates and pics are always appreciated.

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.

FAQs for Boarding - St. John's

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in St. John's on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 43 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across St. John's. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their St. John's home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your St. John's

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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.

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 .

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.
