“Adam was amazing walking my large high-energy dog, Sunny. He was very professional and accommodating- he even walked Sunny in a snowstorm. I would definitely recommend Adam for dog walking.”
“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: I’ve taken care of mine and my neighbour pets since I was 14. They trusted me to feed and walk their dogs and care for their cats. I volunteer at vet clinics and adoption agencies where I walked dogs and cared for both cats and dogs basic needs. I went to veterinary technology school where i got more experience with caring for all sorts of pets including rats, birds, dogs and cats. I’m currently available most days as I am between job and have a flexible schedule. I’m available 8am to 10pm everyday. Except Tuesday I’m available after 12pm. I always make sure I follow the directions the homeowner gives me for their furry friend. I feed them, give them fresh water, take them out for a potty break or a walk. I give their pets lots of cuddles and affection well I’m there. I make sure your furry friends are comfortable and enjoy my visit.
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 began to offer drop-in visits for all types of animals :) 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!
About: Ive spent the past three years caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, and I truly treat every pup like my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing extra patience and gentle care, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands, receiving not only reliable care but also plenty of attention, affection, and tail wags I’m currently in school, which means I spend a lot of time at home and can be there for your pets throughout the day. I don’t like leaving dogs alone for long stretches, no matter their age or breed — their comfort and happiness always come first. To keep them on a consistent routine, I wake up early to make sure they get a nice morning walk, and I also take them out in the evening so they can wind down happily. My schedule allows me to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. When I care for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to keep them safe, comfortable, and in a familiar environment where they feel most at ease. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely — from feeding routines and walks to playtime and cuddles — to make sure their needs are always met. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, giving them plenty of attention and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is to provide not only reliable care but also the trust and peace of mind that your pets are happy and secure in their own space.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 20 years, I grew up having 2 dogs and currently have 1 that lives with my retired parents. I’m 31 and I enjoy going for walks, hikes, and I play soccer. I am very patient and understanding. I am reliable and easy to reach. I follow instructions and am easy going. Your pet will be safe with me and regular updates will be provided to you, upon request. I am very observant and trustworthy. I used to have a cat so I am definitely familiar with cat care as well. I am currently doing pet sitting as much as possible and studying nursing part time. I really enjoy pet sitting. I have a lot of free time and do a lot of casual work on the side. I have my own vehicle and am flexible with times that I am needed. I am available for walks, check in house visits, and can stay overnight to care for your pet(s). I am very accommodating with availability and update my calendar regularly. I have experience providing medication to pets, taking them to the vet, as well as destinations via my car. I hope we can connect to satisfy all of your pets needs and to keep your mind at ease! I have a large fenced yard with surveillance, a reliable vehicle, a nice walking trail near my home, a nice large park near my home. I love the outdoors and going for walks.
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 because 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 senior dogs, and I have loved them all the same. I work in-office 9-5, with an hour lunch break that can absolutely be dedicated to checking on your pup and spending time with them. After work, I have some evening commitments like volunteering, but while I’m with your dog, they will always be a priority. I know after being alone most of the day they’ll want some extra love in the evening! 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! Following your dog’s routine while you’re away can help them feel more comfortable and relaxed, and that’s my goal!
About: I have been a lifetime pet owner and have years of experience caring for all kinds of animals! Feeding, walking, parks and more for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in St. John's is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 92 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in St. John's. About 94% of St. John's sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in St. John's. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in St. John's after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in St. John's with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in St. John's choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
