About: I have grown up with animals in our household throughout my life. My pawty of 3 includes a 10 year-old Goldendoodle, a 1.5 year-old Bernedoodle, and a 17 year-old cat. My own fur babies bring so much fun, snuggles, zoomies, and joy into my daily routine. I would love to meet your pets and provide a safe and nurturing experience while you and your family are away. As a Master's student completing my degree fully online, I have lots of time throughout the day to play and care for your pets. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate you and your pets needs. While caring for your pups and/or cats, I ensure that all instructions that you leave me with are followed for a safe and fun stay. Your typically routine will be followed to ensure your animals feel comfortable.
“Grace was great! Super professional and easy to work with. When there was a SNAFU with our booking dates (totally my fault) she was able to accommodate, which obviously can’t be taken for granted given availability but was incredibly helpful in the moment! My dog can be anxious and reactive and can get stressed out when we leave her with someone new, but she was completely happy and relaxed when we came home. Thanks Grace!”
“Maggie was wonderful. Bailey was taken care of so well. Maggie is very easy going and kept us in the loop with updates and pictures. Trustworthy and dependable. I would recommend her.”
“Nothing but great things to say about Victoria. This is our third time having her take care of our cat and she is always so great to work with. Our cat loves her so we feel so comfortable leaving her with Victoria. She even went above and beyond and even left our apartment cleaner than how we left it. We really appreciate her level of service.”
“Ashley was amazing!! She went above and beyond, taking great care of our house and of course, our pup. She would send us daily pictures for updates which was great! It was lovely being able to relax on vacation knowing our dog (and house) were in great hands!!”
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. I’ve got perfect reviews on trustedpetsitters I look forward to meeting more 4 legged friends and helping out where possible! Feel free to reach out with any questions or opportunities I currently live in the east end with my wife. Since a brain tumour in 2021 forced early retirement; I’ve got lots of flexibility to pursue other interests and things I love like playing and staying with animals. I can usually be available on short notice I have looked after pets since i was a kid. I love dogs (and cats of course) and look forward to helping care for your baby. I'm a professional engineer by training/education so very trust worthy. I treat your pet like it is my own
About: I’ve had animals since I was born always wanted more and love the energy they bring to a household. My best friends forever truly until I die. This summer I start a 35 hours a week summer position from Monday-Thursday 8-4 then Friday 8-11 (roughly). I am able to care for your pets in the am, in the evening, and during the weekend. Just cannot do pee breaks during the weekday. I will also adjust my rates due to this 8 hour inconvenience during the weekday. If that works for you I hope you can book with me soon!! I am aware of their surroundings and have experience working at a shelter where safety and cleanliness was a top priority I always do checks on my animals to ensure everything is okay.
About: Growing up with pets my whole life I have lots of experience with small and large breeds. I have taken care of anxious pups, ones with loads of energy, and small puppies. I have a senior dog myself and I have plenty of experience with unique needs that may come with age. I’m a Social Work student at Memorial. I’m currently doing part-time studies over the summer and working part-time as well. I love to spend time outside, taking walks through nature is a favourite hobby of mine. Providing the best care for your pets in the comfort of their space is something I take pride in. I’ll be sure to have clear communication about your pet’s needs and how to bond best in their environment.
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??! 🤩
“Joanna was fantastic! Our dog has a great time staying with her. We got regular updates with pictures and she communicated very quickly. We will definitely be contacting Joanna again for our pet.”
About: I have a huge passion for animals, especially dogs. I love keeping animals happy, and I'll love your dog like it's my own. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love the outdoors and walking. I'll make sure your dog gets lots of exercise, and I'll keep the walks fresh and new, bringing your dog to many different trails. I am completely comfortable with all sorts of dogs. I used to own a mix named Tickey, a Golden Retriver named Daisy, a King Charles Spaniel named Katie, and I now own a Portuguese Water Dog named Odin. I’ve done some dog walking for people while they were travelling for a few weeks and absolutely loved it. I cannot wait to meet your dog! I love making new friends, I feel like I have a special connection with animals because I am open and 100% comfortable. I work as a barista and am off almost every Monday, Thursday and Sunday. So I can walk anytime on those days. On days that I work I walk Odin every afternoon when I get off at 3, so I can walk your dog/s with Odin, or separately afterwards I have a fenced in yard that is all grass and it is always mowed and fully cleaned. I also have woods right behind my house that is great for walking
“My experience with Cheryl Ann was excellent. She came and met myself and my dog ahead of the night out. This is the 1st time using this service and I felt anxious. There was no need! Great experience and a lovely lady. I will definitely book again with Cherlyanne.”
“Heather was fantastic! It’s always difficult to leave gus’ in the care of someone new because his eyesight and his interesting little personality but Heather took fantastic care of him. Definitely recommend. 🥰”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Torbay maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Torbay walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Torbay 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
