About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have house sat for at least three different people and took care of their pets! I’ve worked with senior dogs and puppies. I also have a part time job at a pet store so I have a decent amount of knowledge on pets and am more than happy to get things from the store for you! I have also administered medicine to a dog with health issues so I am comfortable administering medicine. I work part-time at a pet store! But I have time in between these things to drop in on pets and walk them, play with them, and even feed them. I’m happy to do whatever needs to be done’ My cat is older so she doesn’t play much anymore, but I’ve played with lots of kitties before. I’ve also played with dogs, big and small. My old home had a fenced in yard that I used to play with the dogs in. I no longer have that, but I love taking my own dog on long walks to burn off some of that energy!
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm a full time college student and have a part time job. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.
“Lily was fantastic with my man Midas! Very good with giving updates and sending pictures. Midas seemed to love her and I was little worried I’d come second when I got home.. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone needing someone that will make you feel like your pets are being loved and cared for in the same way you would.”
“April watched our gaggle of pups when we had to unexpectedly go out of town. She did an amazing job with them, was responsive, and I felt at ease knowing she had a handle on our crew. We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid! Whether it’s dog sitting for a neighbor, family friend, or family member. I love being around animals and enjoy the company! I also volunteer at the Austin animal humane society when I have free time :) I currently work 730-4 every day, Monday-Friday. I work in the office 2-3 days out of the week! I am flexible to your schedule though :) I currently live in a bedroom apartment with a dog park in the complex as well as plenty of trails around to walk them and make sure they get their exercise :) I also have a 1 year old husky/white Pyrenees dog who loves to make new friends and play!
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, I was actually raised on a farm! We spent mornings caring for the horses, chickens, pigs, etc. We’ve always had dogs in the home, and in my eyes, pets are just an extension to the family! I have experience with reptiles, birds (I have a cockatiel named Mila), and other exotics as well. I work Monday-Friday 9a-5p. I’m available all day on the weekends. During the week, I’m available early mornings before I head to the office, and anytime after 5pm. My pets are my children, and I will treat yours with the same amount of love, play, and attention that they deserve! While I’m not an experienced trainer, I strongly believe that any training you have in place should be respected, and upheld while you’re away. With direction, I would be happy to do just that!
About: I am an experienced in-home/travelling dog sitter. Having dogs of my own, I realize the convenience and relief I feel when I know that my dog will be cared for in her own environment should we be away. I started off helping out a friend by watching her dog when she went on vacation, and have been dog sitting for over 20 years now. In addition, we have always had a family dog. Most recently our dogs have included Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. I have no breed bias, although my experience has primarily been with larger dogs. I love pets of all sort. I have also had cats and guinea pigs. I would be honored to help you by watching your fur baby. I have recently completed a certification in cat and dog first aid through the American Red Cross. Thanks for considering me! I currently work remote for my full time job, so that will allow me to spend quality time with your pet during the day as well as evenings for pet sits. It also provides me the flexibility to help out with occasional drop ins or walks. I will visit prior to the first event (drop in, walk or pet sit) to review the pet’s routine and any special instructions you may have for me. I want you to be able to provide direction and feel totally comfortable leaving your pet in my care.
About: As a furbaby rescue mom myself, my pups are literally my children!! I have had dogs my whole life and have 25+ years experience caring and spoiling all my furbabies. In addition, I have always dog sat for friends and volunteered with different resuce/shelters over the years. Helping and spending time with dogs has been a passion of mine my entire life. What better way to spend my free time then with my favorite thing in life. DOGS. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own. I am extremely reliable because I always put myself in others' shoes and 1000% understand the importance of trusting and knowing your pup is cared for fully and as asked. When I do care for any furbabies, I provide constant communication and pics and/or videos so you know your babies are in good hands! 😊 I currently work from home 100% and have a very flexible schedule. My availability is very open and I would likely be available also for last minute requests. My 3 dogs in my own home are spoiled rotten. They have a huge fenced in yard that they love. They also sleep with us and get frequent pup cups from Starbucks. :) I do know that all dog parents have different rules so I always respect and follow the wishes of how people train and care for their own animals.
“Maegan was wonderful!!! My dog absolutely loved her and she took such good care of him. She was even flexible around changing the schedule because I ended up getting sick. I can’t wait to have Maegan watch Cash again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
About: I have always loved spending time with pets. Since I was born, my family has had three wonderful dogs who have lived special lives in my care. When I was younger, I used to dog sit for friends and neighbors when they were out of town and I always made sure to spend a little extra time with the pets so they aren't too sad when by themselves. I am currently a remote intern with a lot of free time throughout the week, so spending time with pets will be easy to work into my schedule. My home is full of warmth and good vibes for dogs of all sizes. With a big park behind my backyard, your pets will love running around while we play.
“Ashley is so sweet! She took great care of my Blue. Blue can be a handful but she handled her just fine! I appreciate her keeping me posted on a regular basis and I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much for everything! 🥰🥰”
About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for 6 years and have experience caring for dogs through all kinds of situations — from energetic puppy stages to recovery days that require extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, relaxing together, or giving extra attention when they need comfort and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication instructions if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and providing updates so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: 🚨PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 🚨 Hey there! 🐾 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do - it’s truly the heartbeat of my everyday life. I’ve poured my whole heart into 𝘍𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 - a personal project I started out of love for animals and a desire to create a safe, clean, happy place for them. Through that journey, i’ve been able to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, and it’s taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the joy animals bring into our lives 🥰 Over the years, i’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies just learning the ropes - to senior dogs needing gentle routines + extra support. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once, caring for pets with special diets or medical needs, and maintaining the structure and consistency that helps your babies feel comfortable while your away. I treat every fur baby like family. I know the trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously 💛 ALL dogs must be up to date on all their vaccines + must be on a flea preventative. Making sure that they’re all protected while in my care is important to me - health + safety comes first 💉 My days are always full walks, treats, happy chaos, and lots of love 💕 I’ve built my days around family, school, and animals - which means caring for pets flows right into everything I do. I love being outdoors, staying active, and having a routine - which makes caring for pets the perfect daily companions. I start our mornings off with a nice walk - lots of playtime out back in the backyard throughout the day - and a nice walk, after dinner, to wind down for the night. During + inbetween, i’m juggling being a full time student working towards my bachelors + keeping lit little flock of chickens happy at home 🐓 I’ve mastered balancing schedules while making sure your fur baby feels seen, safe, and loved. Your babies routine becomes my routine - they’ll always have me by their side ✨ When your fur babies are with me, they’re in a space designed just for them - clean, cozy, and full of love 🐾 I keep everything clean + pet safe. I use gentle, pet friendly cleaning supplies and candles that keep the house fresh without ever putting pets at risk. I also provide safe play spaces, cozy resting spots, and a lot of supervision to make sure everyone feels right at home🫶🏽 When i’m in your home, I bring that same level of respect + care - sticking to your routines, keeping spaces tidy, and giving your babies the consistency they need to feel secure 🔐
About: Special Education Teacher with a love of animals. Patient, kind, understanding, flexible. Originally from Chicago, from cats, to squirrels, to dogs, to hummingbirds, to bunnies, to bearded dragons, I have the heart for sending animals in need to a rescue center, and/or homing. Animals deserve love and care, no matter their personality. I strive to respect you as a pet parent and your baby, following owner directions and askings. Just like my students, I treat every animal as if they are my own. Safety is my top priority, as well as communication and transparency. Currently open for the Thanksgiving week and weekend because of being a teacher. After Dec 1 I will be available before 6:30am, evenings, and weekends. I have a degree in general and special education and am very patient with animals and like to know everything the owner can tell me, and respect the animal. Having an antisocial pet with trauma, I respect her and love her as much as my others because she deserves it. I am very careful and take care of animals as if they were my own, just like I do with the children in my classroom.
About: I’ve had a family dog for 10 years that we walk everyday. I have been dog sitting for 7 years and love it every time. I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs from 4 week old puppies to a 160lb English mastiff. I will walk, feed, bathe, play, and love your dog while you can’t. I am an architecture student at Harvard. I love dogs and have a somewhat flexible class schedule to take care of yours! I can’t wait to have a dog of my own but shorter term stays with pets is the best I can manage at the moment. For services at your home, I’d treat your space with respect and courtesy. I’m thankful for your trust to let me into your home and would care for your pets however you see fit.
“Hannah was a wonderful pet sitter for our dachshund. She took him on a long walk and provided us with pictures of their adventures. She was punctual and a delight to work with.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint John
Was very pleased from the meet and greet through the fur baby sitting time. It snowed and Becca kept an area shoveled for the dogs to go outside and shoveled the front for us to return . Everything seemed the same as we left it and the dogs were very happy to see us but not in an anxious manner. They got along well. Would definitely have Becca back again.

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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Saint John walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint John 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!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
