About: I've taken care of my personal dogs and my cats over the years since I was 10. I've also cared for family pets, including babysitting, bathing, feeding, and caring for them. Ive even groomed my own dog. I do everything! I am currently on break, so I have loads of free time for your pet pals. They will be my top priority when they are in my care! Walks and sitting are enjoyable with me, I can train and easily keep it fun with your pet pals. I bathe, groom, and do so much more amongst other things!
“Taryn did an amazing job with Dipper. She made sure he did his business outside and calmed him down. Dipper is not used to new people, but she got him to warm up to her very easily. If I need someone to watch him again I would definitely hire her.-”
“Bridget is wonderful! She has watched our two dogs several times now, and she is consistently professional, communicative, and most importantly great with the pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
About: I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise. I currently work part time with very flexible hours so I am frequently available to provide service to both my own pets and others. I find it very fulfilling to be able to make time for my own furry friends! Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.
About: I have over 10 plus experience of taking care of my cat, family cat and family dog (yellow beagle). I love to play, spend quality time, and do whatever they love to do best (walks, cuddles, and play!). I currently work full-time but I would love to spend time with your furry friend anytime after 5pm-8pm. I love going on afternoon walks and enjoying the outdoors. Open line of communication is important to ensure safe entry/exit of home. I am open to sending pictures of your furry friend and confirming that they are safe in home when I exit.
“Once again I have had a great experience with Crystal taking care of my cat. Her timeliness, care, and communications is what will have me hoping to be able to use her services whenever I need them!”
“Kim, went above and beyond caring for Yogi. She is very experienced with dogs and we are so thankful for her. We were so pleased how she wanted to make sure Yogi was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Thank you Kim for everything we are so lucky to have you.”
About: I have rescued dozens of feral kitties. No feral is untrainable. With patience and love they become the most loving of all. I’d love to meet your babies. I am retired and am available most times. I also accept last minute needs. I will be certain your baby is well fed and his needs are met. I will come to your home and feed, clean and play with your babies. Whatever is needed I will be happy to make sure all is well. I will also send updated photos
About: We have a grumble of two pugs, two kids (8 and 9) I work from home so I have the time to take them out all day. We have had our pugs since they were babies, except for our late rescue who became paralyzed and needed our help with both urinary and fecal expression, as well as medications administered. We are experienced with puppies to older special needs dogs. We do not, at the time, feel comfortable with having aggressive breed of dogs in our home with our grumble of pugs or our children. We have a ranch home with no carpet, it is a very pet friendly home with a fenced yard as well. We are happy to help you with your fur babies too!~ I’m always home other than quick trips out to run the kids to sports or errands as I work at home so able to take them out very frequently Our yard is fenced, scenic view on a large pond, and extremely dog and kid friendly Our dogs and kids love to keep younger dogs busy and senior dogs cozy. They will feel right at home during their stay with us!
“Maegan was amazing. My dogs loved her. She was in constant communication with me about them along with pictures of them. She helped out with few requests I had without hesitation. Will definitely book her for future travels.”
About: Dog owner and animal lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for and training my Labrador Retriever. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I run my own pressure washing business, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting. Being self-employed allows me to manage my time well and make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while providing plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship in both my home and my client’s home!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, I’ve always had dogs of my own and used to watch others animals for friends and neighbors while they were away. I’ve always been able to create a bond with the animals I watch as I have 3 dogs of my own. Whether your dog loves high-energy fetch or cozy couch cuddles, I tailor every stay to their specific needs. I’m dedicated to keeping your animals happy and healthy while you’re away.

Sydney proved to be an invaluable asset during a family emergency. Her timely assistance was instrumental in resolving the situation, and our dog, Sophie, formed an instant bond with her. Sydney provided exceptional care for Sophie, treating her as if she were her own canine companion. We are confident in our decision to seek Sydney’s services again in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint John stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Saint John 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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Saint John with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
