“Lily was very attentive to my cats and tuned to their needs ( meaning they got xtra treats! When they wanted :-). And they liked her and bonded right away with her, that says a lot. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Lily”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She watched our dogs, Nico and Nora, while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was always punctual, incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely loving with both of our dogs. She also made such a great impression during our meet-and-greet by being so sweet and patient with my little girl, which meant a lot to us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring hands while we were away. Katie is truly a wonderful person, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”
“Very trustworthy and nice person. My golden Kali warmed up to Monica instantly. I will definitely be using her in the future. I was able to focus on my road trip and not have to worry about my pet. Monica was great”
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!
“We had such a great experience! Everything went smoothly, communication was excellent, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my pet was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and the care and attention given throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
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 am free Tuesday- Friday anytime you would like to have fun visit for your furry loved one! I am open to long walks, playtime, and cuddles! 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.
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: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. My family has trusted me to care for their pets over the years, whether that means feeding them, taking them for walks, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping them company. I also had the opportunity to regularly care for a family’s dog for over two years, which gave me valuable hands-on experience and taught me how important it is to understand each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family and strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and want to make an important part of my life. I plan to make caring for pets a priority and dedicate the time and attention needed to make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I understand that pets are family, and I want to provide them with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own pets. I’m excited to build a routine around pet sitting and create a dependable experience for both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in someone’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any specific needs they may have. I also pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to help prevent accidents and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.
“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: I’ve always loved dogs, and I took a job as a kennel attendant at a rescue, but unfortunately they closed their brick and mortar location to go back to a foster based rescue. I have gained experience working with many types of dogs. From large and small breeds, to selective dogs, to puppies, and my personal favorite, special needs and senior babies. I currently lost my job at a dog rescue due to the building closing down to focus on a foster based rescue, so my availability at this moment is open I can provide love, exercise and enrichment as well as discipline, crating, and spoiling your dog. Unfortunately I cannot have dogs in my home so I would need to come to you.
About: I grew up around cats and dogs. I’ve had two rescue dogs so far, and I have prior shelter experience. Special skills: training young pets, separation anxiety, oral/topical medication, senior care I work remotely so pups would be at home with someone at all times and would have access to frequent potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced yard and one other dog who is very gentle and sweet so she would keep them company and go on walks with them!

About: I have had a dog within my household for as long as I can remember! Starting from before I can walk (seriously) up until now! Taking care of dogs is 2nd nature to me since I’ve done it for so long! As of right now I’m available everyday until further notice! I work in construction so summers get busier than winters, and right now it’s been raining everyday so it gives me a lot of free time! I have a fenced in backyard for when my three dogs are outside. When they are inside I have beds for each of them to sleep in when it’s time for bed. They also have crates that I use for them only when I am leaving the house for a while in order for any accidents or unnecessary destruction of furniture.

About: I've had dogs my whole life including senior dogs and large dogs. I have experience in drop-in sitting for several days at a time. I've taken care of three small elderly dogs at once, including one that was completely blind and hard of hearing. I'm comfortable walking and bathing larger dogs, as I myself have had a dog over 100 pounds. I do not have professional experience, meaning I've never been paid to dog-sit, but I have been sitting for neighbors and friends for several years. He tenido perros todo mi vida, incluyendo perros grandes y de edad avanzada. Tengo experiencia cuidando perros a domicilio durante varios días seguidos. He cuidado a tres perros pequeños y mayores al mismo tiempo, entre ellos uno que era totalmente ciego y tenía problemas de audición. Me siento cómoda paseando y bañando perros grandes, ya que yo misma e tenido un perro de más de 100 libras. No cuento con experiencia profesional, es decir, nunca he cobrado por cuidar perros, pero llevo varios años cuidando los perros de vecinos y amigos. I am a full time university student working part time on my campus! All my classes are scheduled in the morning Monday-Thursday so I’m available after 3 then. Friday-Sunday I can be there for your pets anytime! I do not currently sit in my home, but I do have harnesses and leashes available if you do not already have one. We could discuss whether the leashes and harnesses I own are a good fit for your furry friend! :)
“Nicole was amazing with our puppy! We were very anxious dog moms and they did everything to calm our nerves! The pictures they took had us dying! Our puppy was clearly have the BEST time and was very comfortable with Nicole. Would highly recommend them!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint John
Sydney watched our 2 kitties for a week while we were on vacation. When I met her and saw her passion for animals, and kindness I knew she would do a good job. Every check in she gave great updates, and pictures which made me feel at ease. I could tell the boys liked her too from the pictures she sent! She also followed all care/house instructions as well. I’m extremely thankful I found her to care for our cats, and look forward to her helping us in the future!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint John is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,822 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint John. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
