“Marion has been our regular dog walker since we moved to St. John’s and shes awesome! During our first meet and greet we could tell how knowledgeable she was about dogs. Always responds very quickly to our bookings and sends us pictures :) we’ll continue using her services for sure!”
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.
“Jordan has handled my quirky rescue very well, and seems to go above and beyond to ensure he has a great outing. Based on photos she's sent, I can tell Jet is having a blast by the big goofy grin on his face!”
“We recently used Chantelle for her dog walking services, and she also gave our dog her daily oral medication as needed. We were very happy with her professionalism, friendliness and communication skills. We got updates from Chantelle everyday through texts as well as a photo of our dog on her walk. It was such a relief to know that while we were, our dog was in really good hands. We would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her again for dog sitting needs. Thank you Chantelle, all the best.”
About: Quick Overview: ✅🐾 Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, small animals, etc. ✅🐇 Comfortable with rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, rats, etc. ✅📸 Photo updates included ✅🎓 Healthcare student with strong attention to detail I’ve had pets my entire life, but as an adult I’ve had pets of my very own for about 6 years. I’m extremely interested in animal health and behaviour, and am a gentle, calm person. I’ve done in-home pet sitting for dogs in the past, off of the Rover app. Rover only lists cats and dogs, but I’m also happy to care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, fish, reptiles, and any other small pets! I have two rabbits and two gerbils of my own. :) Just use the “cat” option when sending a request if booking for something other than a dog/cat, I’m happy to adjust the rate as needed. I’m a full time student in a medical program - outside of school time my availability is pretty open! Right now during the summer I am free whenever. During the school year, I should usually be available in the evenings and any time on weekends. I’ve used pet sitting services for my own pets, so I understand how intimidating it can feel allowing a stranger into your home to take care of your animal friends while you’re away! I’ll follow any instructions carefully, leave things how I found them, and keep you updated with photos or messages.

About: I have had dogs my whole life! From Shih Tzus to German Shepherds. Growing up, I was responsible for walking, bathing, feeding and cleaning up after my pets. Our dogs are family, and I always loved taking care of them as such. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve trained puppies and cared for very senior dogs, and I have loved them all the same. I work from home full time, with a very flexible schedule. I can be available during the morning, day or evening, weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to take time out of my day when I need to, aka to walk your pup! I am very respectful of your space and how you typically care for you pets. The way you like things to be in your home with your pets is the way things will stay!
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was in 6th grade and have additional pet-sitting experience for several family members and friends. I absolutely LOVE all types of pets - big or small - and want to ensure your fur-baby feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. I am a certified primary/elementary teacher with NLSchools, meaning I have full availability during the summer to give your fur-baby the best possible care while you are away. I will do my best to accommodate any/all of your pet’s needs. I understand that every dog is different and may require special/additional care. As a pet-sitter in your home, I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect that they both deserve. ** Please note that my pets listed in my profile are family dogs that live with my parents. I keep them at my parent’s house when I am dog-sitting 😊
“My dog can be a bit reactive and takes time to warm up to new people, but Tianna has been incredibly patient and kind with her. She’s built a great relationship, and my dog is totally comfortable with her now. Would definitely recommend 🙂”
About: I have lots of experience caring for many types of pets, my most favorite being cats and dogs. I’ve been providing care for many years. My love to care for animals is why I begin to offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I'm a full-time university student, but now that school is complete for the summer, I have open availability—mornings, afternoons, and evenings—plus full flexibility on weekends. I'm excited to dedicate my time to providing your fur babies with the attentive, loving care they deserve! I am a very safe and responsible individual who loves animals. I would provide excellent care to ensure they receive lots of love and all needs are met!
“This was my first time using the Rover app & Melanie was fantastic ! Kept me updated from start-finish & provided photos of my dogs on the walk:) could not have asked for anyone better to look after my girls ! Will definitely be booking with Melanie again in the future ☺️”
About: Began babysitting/dog sitting in my teens to raising a family dog, sitting for strangers, family and friends along with training puppies and cuddling seniors. I assure you I can be relied upon for any and all care for your loving fur friends♥️ I currently work full-time from home Monday to Thursday with a very flexible and understanding work-life balance. This allows me to be attentive to the pets, ensuring feedings and walks are provided during working hours. Although I cannot provide a fenced in yard currently, I do offer a larger backyard for dogs to roam and still feel like they’re free. Nearby walking trails or dog-friendly neighbourhood also allows me to walk your pet at a sensible pace with little distraction or noise sensitivity.
About: Im a flexible young family oriented professional who works from home. I have a 1.5 year old Bernese poodle mix that loves other dogs! I've owned dogs for years and love keeping them active and happy with different forms of canine enrichment, play time, walks, and training with clickers and without. I live in the downtown region and usually walk between downtown and bowring park along the Waterford river trail -- I'm a short walk away from multiple dog parks. My home has a fenced in back yard and there's lots of space for your pups to roam! Plenty of experience with caring for both high energy puppies and senior dogs. My home has a small dog friendly cat, two children, and a high energy poodle mix.
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??! 🤩
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for friends and family since 2008. I would brush, feed and change the litter for their fur babies. I adore cats and seem to have a special way with them ❤️ I work mornings and finish up around lunch time. Perfect for your cats mid afternoon snack! I’m free most evenings and can take care of bedtime routines. I will make sure their water is fresh and topped up. Will feed according to your instructions and spend some quality time with kitty if they would like to. Shy cats will be checked on and given their personal space. Litter will be scooped as per your instructions

Adam C.
“Adam has been walking my dog on the weekends for several years now, and my dog ADORES him. I have to be careful not to say his name around my pup, because he gets so excited. Adam is very athletic, so he will be great at giving dogs plenty of exercise, and he is a lovely, well-mannered young man who I would trust absolutely. He always has a key to my house, and is an excellent communicator about when he will arrive and when my dog is dropped off. Honestly, you couldn't find a better employee. He loves dogs, loves exercise and being outdoors, and is extremely trustworthy and responsible.”

She is trustworthy, responsive and genuinely loves any and all animals. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog like their own, you’ve found her :)”

She truly treated him like her own and made sure he got the best care 🥰 I was anxious leaving as it was our first time being away from him, but Ashley helped eliminate all of those fears very quickly with frequent photos and text updates. Not only is she great with the pups, she has such a fun and kind personality that makes hiring her an even easier decision. Your fur baby will be super comfortable with her and she works hard to maintain a sense of routine and normalcy for them. Definitely recommend her services to anyone and everyone!”
