About: I had my rescue dog, Kayleigh, for fourteen years and she was the joy of my life. We have now added a new furry family member, a rescued Black Lab named Jasper, so your pet will have my adult dog for company. I am accustomed to having a senior dog, so if your dog is in his or her golden years, that's absolutely ok! When your pet is with us, they are family! Where we go, they go! I have been on Rover for a year now and have had a wonderful time, taking care of pets in my home. It’s been a great and very fulfilling experience, helping my clients feel safe leaving their precious family members when they are traveling. I look forward to giving you that same peace of mind! Note: Please refrain from sending personal contact information through the messaging functionality, as it violates Rover’s Terms of Service. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so I will be available for your fur baby all day long. Your pet will be the only one in the home, besides my own guy. We will take walks and hang out and I will make sure s/he feels right at home. I own my own home and I have a fenced yard so they have room to go outside and wander, while I keep a watchful eye from the door. I also live close to the Quidi Vidi dog parks and will happily take your furry family member to play, if you are happy to have me do so!

“Denise did drop in visits for my two free roam bunnies and took such great care of them. She sent detailed updates, photos and videos with each visit and both bunnies were very comfortable and happy. Will definitely book again!”


About: Hi there! 🐾 We’re a couple of lifelong animal lovers with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs. Our own dog, Jacob, an 8-year-old Beagle, is the heart of our home and reminds us daily why we adore this work. Whether your pup needs an exciting adventure, a leisurely stroll, or some loving company at home, we’ve got you covered. We’re happy to provide: -Drop-in visits to feed, play, and give them all the attention they deserve -Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs -Overnight care where they’re treated just like family We understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. We promise to care for your dog as if they were our own—because that’s exactly what we’d want for Jacob. We can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶💛 We are most evenings (after 5) and weekends. Summer availability (July & August) is more flexible. . . . . . . . . . Your pet will be given the care and attention that is suited to their needs. We are experienced in caring for puppy, adult and senior dogs.

“Thanks to Jessica and Anthony for taking such good care (and so many photos) during your visits. I also appreciated very much the responsiveness and flexibility they showed when I asked for one extra visit because the time change meant I’d be getting back even later from the cats’ perspective. They were very kind and conscientious and I would be happy to have them watch my cats again—and what’s more is I think the cats would be happy too. ❤️🐾”


“Juan is a very professional and friendly person. We could tell that he really cares for animals. He went above what was required--he stayed overnight a few nights at no extra cost when our cat unexpectedly experienced separation anxiety. In addition, he spent time learning how to give our cat eye medicine. Overall a kind person who we feel comfortable asking to care for our cat again in the future.”


About: I love animals! I had a black lab mix rescue dog for 14 years. We walked daily for at least two hours. I love getting out for walks and hikes. Having a dog with me while out walking would be wonderful. I’m currently available during daytime hours, 9am to 3pm on weekdays. Right now I work in the evenings. I get out for walks most days and live inner city (St. John’s). I also have a vehicle so picking up your pup and driving them to a park is easy! Keeping things clean and organized is important. However I’m only looking to provide dog walks right now not pet sitting. Looking forward to meeting your dog!


“My kitten was well cared for by Miranda. I received photos daily of my kitten eating and Miranda playing with her with her toys. My kitten did not appear stressed and was not clingy when I returned, even though she was left alone for four nights, the first time since I got her.”


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.

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 🐶🌿

About: I've been taking care of my dog since he was a pup. Now that he's 12, he needs a lot more care and attention and I've been able to give him that! I am committed to taking care of your dog! I have a lot of free time to provide your dog with the care and love they need! I am very cautious when it comes to having a dog outside. I will ensure the dog is not left on their own or leave it free to roam around by themselves.

“Hallie did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away! She gave regular updates to let us know how Willow was doing and Willow enjoyed the company during the drop in visits.”


About: Ollie’s mom here! I am a registered nurse who would love to help take care of your fur baby when you’re in need.

“Ally was amazing looking after my cat! They were timely with their visits and always made sure she was well taken care of. They even alerted me of a potential bug problem with my cat’s food. This was my first time hiring a sitter for her, and I would gladly hire Ally again or recommend them to anyone looking for pet sitting services!”


About: I’ve shared my life with animals for years, and I currently care for two senior cats at home — which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of following special routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and quirks, and I take the time to adjust my care to suit them. Whether it’s giving an energetic dog plenty of walks and playtime, or keeping a shy cat comfortable with gentle companionship, I focus on creating a safe, positive experience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet like family while keeping their routines consistent. I’m currently home full time so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pet outside for bathroom breaks, walks, and play! I’m available for overnights at your house with the option to house sit for you while you’re on vacation. When I care for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routines closely so they feel secure in a familiar environment. I keep dogs leashed on walks, double-check doors and gates, and monitor their behavior and well-being throughout my stay. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I give my own, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have had my own 2 dogs and 2 cats for the past 15 years. My kids are now grown and I’m looking for something extra to do. I am a nurse by day and am responsible and reliable. I am in management so my schedule is flexible. These experiences make me a great fit to care for your animals. I have a flexible work schedule so this makes caring for your animals ideal. Together we can find a schedule that ensures your pets needs are met to the highest standard. I can take a pet in my home if they are ok with other pets but I am free to stay at your home. My adult children will care for my animals so I have the freedom to stay with your pet and ensure they have the comfort of their familiar space.

“Ryan took care of my 2 kittens for a week while I was away. He stopped in daily to feed, play, etc. He took excellent care of them. He is trustworthy and I felt very comfortable leaving my 2 cats in his care. He sent me daily updates which I really appreciated. I would recommend Ryan to everyone and will be requesting him in the future.”


“Sherilee is top notch to take care of your pet’s needs. Highly recommend her. She genuinely care for animals and mature enough to rest assured anything that requires special care can be resolved. Sam (cat) sometimes has Uterine Crystals and she responds to their medical conditions with understanding and compassion. Also, Sam’s water fountain wasn’t working for my cat and she got it to working again. Great caretaker do not hesitate to use her. 5 Stars *****”

My cat is not overly friendly with people and gets stressed when we're gone long periods, but he warmed right up to her - even a few kisses before she left and was happy to see her again. I feel very confident leaving him in her care, he has allergies that require pills every other day, she took on the challenge with ease and was able to give him the pills with no issue. She is a loving and patient pet caregiver, and has a great temperament to handle all kinds of pet personalities. She has also taken care of my moms puppy and handled her boundless energy in stride (for once the pup was exhausted)! Two totally different pets, but both times excellent care filled with love.”
