“Leslie and Rob provided the best care to our dogs, Pippa and Nova. And they love their new best friend Gauge, who is the sweetest pup! Leslie and Rob are amazing people - kind and caring - and our dogs felt completely at home! They treated them like family, and kept us up to date daily. Pippa and Nova can't wait to go back!”
“Dozer was well cared for by Alex and Lori. They sent lots of pictures which was lovely. They treated him like one of their own dogs with lots of activity and cuddles. He is a high energy dog who needs lots of affection which they were happy to accommodate! I hope they are available the next time I need care for Dozer.”
“Tasha did a wonderful job taking care of our 14 month old Labrador while we were away for a few days. It was our first time away from her and our minds were put at ease with the regular check ins and pictures that Tasha provided. We were content that she was in good hands!”
“Albina did a fantastic job watching my puppy Cid !! She provided me with daily updates to let me know how he was doing ! You can tell she has an affinity for animals as he was comfortable with her right away ! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter !!”
“Evelyn had the most amazing time with Denise, Gary & Xena! We love receiving pictures of their daily adventures. We never worried about our girl while we were away!”
“This was our second time that our dog, Bruin, stayed with Chantelle and family :) Chantelle is a wonderful sitter! She kept us updated regulary with texts and lots of pictures! Definitely will book Chantelle in the future! She's wonderful :)”
“Gillian provided exceptional care for our two older dogs, including one who has some significant mobility restrictions. Her home was warm and welcoming for our dogs and the fully fenced backyard was a key security feature for us. Our two dogs mean the world to us and this was our first time using a dog sitter and we were so lucky to have found Gillian here on Rover. She put our minds at ease and sent plenty of updates and pictures to show our dogs relaxing and cuddling with her. If you are looking for a dog sitter for your four legged friend do not hesitate to use Gillian. Our dogs are 12 and 10 years old and she took care of them just as well as we would have.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and love taking care of them. As soon as I could work with animals I did, from a vet clinic on the coast to a local farm. I have experience training young puppies and with nervous cats. I love animals and take care of them as my own! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to care for your pets. I work during the evenings for a couple hours and thats it, so I have no trouble spending as much time with your pet as needed! I have my own friendly dog and cat that love to play, my dog especially. I don’t have a fenced in yard as I live in an apartment building, but I take my own dog on multiple walks during the day on the walking trails around my area. I can easily crate your pet if needed as well. I am also within walking distance to a dog park if your dog enjoys that!
About: I've been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember, and they've always held a special place in my heart. At the age of 7, I welcomed my first dog, Luna, and since then, I've discovered a new kind of love. Back home, I have two French poodles and, five beloved cats. Moving to St. John's has left me missing their companionship dearly. Becoming a pet sitter is my way of reconnecting with that joy and love. I'm eager to shower your furry friends with affection, take them for walks, engage in playtime, and ensure they have the best possible care while you're away.🥰🥰 I'm a student with plenty of time during weekdays. I have a highly flexible schedule and am always available to help out, even outside of my regular hours, in case of emergencies. I'm fully available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 5 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I reside in a spacious 3-bedroom house in Downtown, offering ample indoor space. Additionally, Bannerman Park is conveniently located just in front of my residence, providing an excellent outdoor experience and opportunities for delightful walks.
“Nirali and her partner watched our 1.5 year old whippet for 10 days while we were on holiday. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/videos of him throughout the week which we appreciated! Neo and our dog seemed to get along really well and it looked like they had a great time. We appreciate the care and would definitely book with them again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, but was a volunteer at the Gander SPCA since the 6th grade! I’ve cared (and owned) for dogs, cats and small animals, and have 2 years experience of working at a pet store prior to moving to St. John’s. I also received animal care training in that position. I love all animals and would love to care for your sweet pets!! I’m currently taking my courses online so I’m available at most times! I spend almost all my days at home so your pets will receive as much attention as necessary. Though my yard is not fenced in I am still willing to take your animals out as much as necessary, they will have lots of room to run around the house too!! I am capable of handling animals in all moods, and have experience in training my own dog as well. I will make sure they receive all the love they deserve :)
“Katharina & Shane took great care of my boy and treated him like one of their own. He had a lot of fun with the other dogs and made some new friends. Definitely use them again!”
“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!”
“Amrita was so sweet and gave lots of updates about Alma. She was patient with her when she was anxious and barking for the first bit after I left. I will definitely be booking with Amrit next time I need a sitter <3”
“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’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
“Jessica went above and beyond! She accommodated our last minute request and maintained thorough communication throughout (with lots of pictures of course). Will be using again!”
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 :)
“Krista was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating when watching our pup, Bailey. She was so great with frequent updates and photos of playtime, would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again with her in the near future :)”
St. John's dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
Albina did a fantastic job watching my puppy Cid !! She provided me with daily updates to let me know how he was doing ! You can tell she has an affinity for animals as he was comfortable with her right away ! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter !!
First time using Rover.com and we found Paige and we felt so good leaving our fur baby with her. The meet and greets were a great for introductions and questions. Paige and Theo asked a lot of thoughtful questions about Shelby! Every dog has their quirks but having a hearing impaired one requires special attention, which Shelby got. We were able to go on a vacation knowing Shelby would be well looked after. Really appreciate this service more than anyone can really know.
