“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!”
“Jordan went above and beyond! We were away when wildfires happened near our home and she was there to help us if the area needed to evacuate. I felt reassured that Dandolo would be ok.”
“Victoria was such a great help for our last minute vacation. She worked with me to answer all my questions and put our minds at ease prior to leaving. She provided multiple daily updates and was overall so great. We really appreciated her kind personality and how she went above and beyond, doing extra things for our cat and keeping our apartment clean. For the five days she was here.”
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 have just moved to St John’s, NL from NB as my wife (originally from St John’s recently got a job here).

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.

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: I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been something that I am passionate about. My own dogs are my babies, and over the years I’ve also loved helping friends and family care for their pets. I’m especially passionate about dogs and their individual personalities. I have experience with senior dogs and reactive dogs, and I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, boundaries, and comfort levels. I’m also very interested in training and enjoy continuing to learn about dog behaviour and positive reinforcement training techniques. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, with very flexible availability. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I currently work rotation work so have an open availability on my time home. However, I recently finished up for the season so can be accommodating to most times! If I take your pets into my own home I have a fenced in backyard and close access to lots of walking trails and places for adventures. Preference would be given to caring for them in your home to keep their routine as much as possible, and give them the same attention and companionship they are used to.
About: I have a genuine love for all animals and think I would be great to watch your little ones while you’re away! I have a lot of experience as well. I have had animals all throughout my whole life including senior dogs & cats, puppies and kittens as well as horses! I start part time school in September but still have tons of free time and can definitely work around my schedule to fit your needs :) I have a huge fenced in backyard with grass. If i’m coming to your home, I will make sure your animals are well cared for and exercised! Able to cater to whatever needs for your animal!
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??! 🤩

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.
