“Jordan was a great sitter...responsive and able to watch Dandolo on very short notice. The house was left very clean and our cat was happy. I would recommend!”
“Autumn did such a great job taking care of our girls. She even managed to befriend our cranky Meeko, which is no small feat! She stayed in touch and sent pics and videos to help us feel at ease. Can’t recommend her enough and we look forward to having her back!”
“Maggie is definitely dependable and really good with Bailey. We really enjoy ourselves when we know Maggie is with Bailey. We highly recommend Maggie”
“Juan has stayed a couple of times with our very large boy. Both times he communicated well and sent us updates and photos which we love. Our dog can be stubborn and I am uncomfortable leaving him anywhere usually but it seems they worked really well together. Our house was perfectly as we left it as well.”
“Highly recommend Jalaina taking care of your dogs. She was incredible. Our dogs didn’t miss a beat when we got back from our trip. She was incredible and kept constant contact and provided lots of photos. Will be using her again.”
“Jenna was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home and took care of our 14-week-old puppy, our 1.5-year-old dog, and our 6-year-old cat — and she handled everything perfectly. She sent us frequent updates and the most beautiful photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our pets were happy, loved, and in great hands the whole time. We came home to a spotless house that looked like it hadn't even been lived in — such a wonderful surprise. Jenna truly went above and beyond, and we can’t thank her enough. We’ll 100% be booking her again!”
“Adam was a fantastic pet sitter! He took great care of our two cats and our dog, who can be a bit reactive with new people. Adam was calm, patient, and made her feel comfortable right away. He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our very last-minute booking. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. Would absolutely book again!”
“Kristen looked after our senior dog for us while we were visiting St John’s. She is very friendly, dependable, punctual and great with dogs. I would definitely hire her again if we’re back in the area.”
About: I was raised around animals, so from an early age I learned how to care for them, including dogs and puppies. I have monitored a yelping momma dog and looked after her and her pups, as well as many other puppies and dogs of various breeds and ages. I love animals, so it's not a job to me, it's an enjoyable hobby. 😊 I currently work part-time, so I have a lot of availability and time to look after your pupper! Any chance I get to spend time with a dog makes my day, so I'm happy to do whatever is necessary. I'm happy to care for your pet in their own home where they are most comfortable. I have plenty of experience caring for pets, as well as house-sitting. I'm very flexible, so I'm happy to do whatever is required for your pet.
“So accommodating and great with Nova! 10/10 recommend Chantelle!”
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!
“Blondie and Dagwood enjoyed having Ashley take care of them. We had peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. Ashley communicated if she had any questions by text. I would recommend Ashley and would book again if required for us.”
About: We're a very experience dog family with almost 50 years of combined pet experience. Our pack currently comprises of 3 rescues, Clementine (11 yo female Black Lab) , Chuba (3 year old Female Corgi) and Giornk (3 year old Jack Russel) We have been fostering dogs for years and have had dozens of dogs come through this house so everyone is quite used to new smells and faces of all sizes. Our pack is so easy going and just wants to play - your dog will feel right at home. We also have an 8 year old daughter who wants to become a vet and has an unconditional love for all dogs - your dog is guaranteed to get lots of love. Lori is at home full time so there will always be someone home with your dog (on top of our entire pack of 3 dogs) We have a fully fenced in yard where the dogs spend a considerable amount of time just being dogs. We also live right next to the walking trails in Mount Pearl and go on several walks per day.
About: With a lifetime of dog care experience, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pup I meet. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, including my family’s 13-year-old senior and my own energetic 1.5 year old Portuguese Water dog, so I’m equally comfortable with playful puppies and wise old souls. I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet like they’re my own: with patience, affection, and a whole lot of belly rubs. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a cozy companion, or just someone who truly gets them, I’m here to help tails wag. I work full-time during the week, but caring for dogs is something I always make time for! I’m available for walks and dog-sitting in the evenings and on weekends, and I can also swing by for check-ins throughout the day—including during my lunch break. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some midday company, or a weekend playdate, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and cared for 🐾 Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a secure and enriching space for them to feel right at home. My property features a fully fenced 190 square meter backyard, plenty of room for zoomies, sunbathing, and outdoor play without any risk of escape. Inside, your pet will also have the company of my 1.5 year old Portuguese Water Dog, who’s playful, friendly, and great with other dogs. Whether it’s a weekend sleepover or an afternoon hangout, your furry friend will be in a clean, secure, and social environment designed with their happiness in mind 🐶🌿
“We were a bit anxious to leave our boys with a new sitter after having the same sitter for the last 3.5 years, but it turns out we had nothing to worry about! Kathleen was very responsive, sent us pictures and videos of our boys often, listened to instructions, and gave our doggos lots of love and care. We liked her so much we are having her back again later this week!”

If you need someone solid to watch your dog, she’s it.”

St. John's pet parents share their Rover experiences
My dogs absolutely love Pablo. He handles my two dogs with love and patience. As always he’s very flexible and happy to help even last minute when I injured my foot and couldn’t walk them.
Kristen looked after our senior dog for us while we were visiting St John’s. She is very friendly, dependable, punctual and great with dogs. I would definitely hire her again if we’re back in the area.
We recently had the pleasure of having Katherine watch our two Labrador Retrievers—one a gentle giant at 12 ½ years old and 100 pounds, and the other a lively 7-year old at 65 pounds—and we couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care she provided. Katherine followed our instructions to a tee, making sure both dogs got all the exercise they needed, despite their different energy levels. She also took outstanding care of our home. Her genuine love for animals shone through in the way she handled our dogs. We came home to two very happy and well cared for Labs. We would highly, highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. She truly exceeded our expectations and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away.
Sam was an amazing kitty-sitter! I could tell through the videos and pics that both my cats warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot because my girl cat can be very skiddish. Communication was great , and she provided me with pics and videos! Highly recommend Sam!!
