“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: Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve cared for cats, hamsters, parrots, and a guinea pig, and have occasionally helped with a friend’s dog. I’m confident in providing daily care, feeding, cleaning, and giving lots of attention to keep pets happy. Whether furry, feathered, or small, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently stay at home with a flexible schedule, caring for my children and managing household tasks. This allows me plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, and play throughout the day, including weekdays and weekends. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and clean environment. While my backyard is not fenced, it is completely safe and offers plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I always keep a close eye on pets to ensure they are happy, secure, and comfortable.
“My pups loved Marleigh! They looked forward up her coming every day to take them on a walk. She was very professional, reliable, and gentle with our two Labradors. She even toweled them off on a rainy day which I hadn’t planned for and made sure they had lots of water. We cant wait to have her back again!”
About: I have just moved to St John’s, NL from NB as my wife (originally from St John’s recently got a job here). I had to retire early from municipal engineering a few years ago due to complications from a large brain tumour. I spend each day seeking joy and fun in the east end. I have a kitty Bertha. I’ve got lots of experience taking care of both cats and dogs albeit new to Rover.

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.
