“This was the first time we used Rover for our 8 yr old golden retriever who is very special to us and we couldn't have been happier with Jess and Joel. From the photos they sent we could tell our doggo was happy and calm, and then when we got home the house was spotless and they had even put the sheets in the wash. Having our dog looked well after was a relief and we would absolutely love to have them back! Thank you!!!”
“Brena took such great care of our two dogs and our home while we were away for a week. We have a young golden and a senior spaniel and both were so well cared for! Brena even kept an eye on our house plants while we were away! We would absolutely hire Brena again, in a heartbeat.”
About: I grew up with birds and cats! My kitty is a year younger than me. I have 10+ years in experience with pet and babysitting x My availability is quite flexible! I prefer working in the afternoon or evening. However I don’t mind mornings! I am usually free on weekends x I have a 21 year old cat! She cannot eat dry food. Due to her age she most likely has dementia.. in order to make it easier for her we have two litterboxes x
“Ann looked after our Rottie Karma for a week while we were gone. She was consistent with photos and updates, and all I can say is we couldn’t be more grateful to her! She is an amazing sitter and we will love to use her in the future. Thanks so much for such a great job!!!”
“Natacha was an incredible dog sitter who exceeded all of our expectations! She stayed overnight in our home to care for our two dogs, Joey and Phoebe, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She expertly managed the different needs of our puppy and senior dog, keeping us updated throughout her stay to reassure us that everything was going smoothly. She took the time to fully understand their routines and behaviors, making sure they felt calm and comfortable. Her patience and dedication made all the difference. When we returned, not only was our home spotless, but Joey and Phoebe were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Natacha’s genuine care and attention gave us such peace of mind, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter!”
“Just had our first experience with Erin and it was an amazing time! First time using Rover and found Erin and extremely happy with everything start to finish! Thank you Erin for everything!!”
“So detailed and so thorough! I received lots of info on how my pets were, and she went above and beyond even when my instructions weren’t as thorough as they should’ve been! Will have her back in a heartbeat!”
About: Hello! My name is Hadas and I am a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker based in Winnipeg. I am 26 years old and work full time from home during the week so my schedule is flexible. I have a passion for caring for animals, and I specialize in providing services for both cats and dogs. I am a big animal lover. I currently have three cats (one senior) and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. 🐶🐈⬛ I currently work home full time Monday to Friday 8-4:30. I am always home during the weekends as well. I have a very flexible schedule and can be with your pet all the time and give it all of the love and attention they need and deserve. My home is a very clean, organized and safe place. I have three cats who love dogs. Two of them are four years old and the other one is 11. They are all in great health condition, are fixed and have all their vaccines. We recently had our senior dog pass away and they all got along great. As long as your dog is cat friendly there won’t be an issue.
“Hannah filled in for us at the last minute when our previously booked care fell through. She was gracious about the short notice, that we had to coordinate the key hand-off through a relative, and about some subsequent confusion when we had contractors coming to the house. She took excellent care of our two dogs and sent pictures of their happy exploits daily. She also fed my daughter’s fish, and even changed the bedding she had used. I give Hannah the highest recommendation and encourage you to book her!”
About: Hi there, I'm Tara, and along with my friend Iris, we share a deep love for animals. I'm the proud owner of a delightful 3-year-old Shiba Inu, who's like a daughter to me. Iris, on the other hand, has a beautiful 6-year-old cat as her feline companion. Our pets are not just animals; they are cherished members of our families. Now, we're excited to extend that love to your furry friends. With a commitment to treating pets as part of the family, Iris and I are eager to care for your dogs and cats. We understand the importance of providing a warm and nurturing environment, ensuring that your pets feel at home even in your absence. Allow us to share our passion and care for your pets, offering them the same warmth and affection they receive from you. Together, Iris and I are ready to make your pets feel loved and cherished. Caring for pets is not just a passion; it's a commitment that I efficiently manage alongside my studies. When booked, We dedicate all available time to ensure the best care for your beloved pet! We are deeply passionate about animals and have always enjoyed tending to their well-being. Providing affection to animals is my top priority, unless they prefer solitude. While you're away, I'll happily handle walks, feeding, playtime, and shower your pet with the attention they deserve! I'm eagerly looking forward to it :)
About: I've cared for a bunch of dogs through dog-sitting and have lived with, cared for, and become close to several dogs and cats. I've also done a lot of research regarding cats & dogs - but I'm very respectful of owners’ beliefs and instructions. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now, because I'm self-employed with another business as well. I'm generally available 7 days a week, depending on my other work and plans. I can care for pets in my home or at yours. My place is clean, safe and has room for pets to play and run around. I have lots of great toys for dogs and cats, and depending on the pet, we can also spend time in the yard or go for walks.
“Julia took such good care of our big dog, 2 cats and even updated us on our bearded dragon. Our home was well cared for and she was paying attention to the animals and noticed details about their day. Our dog is not great on a leash but Julia managed her no problem! We would definitely book with her again.”
About: I've cared for pets, mostly dogs and understand how important it is to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I know that makes them sad so I do my best to make them happy/cheer them up. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they're doing. I work hybrid (some days from home some days in the office) so pet care fits well into my routine, and I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and maybe some snuggles. I do my best to keep pets on their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and settled if doable with the schedule. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I do my best to try and learn their personality and apply any special instructions before caring for them. Whether I'm looking after them in your home or mine, I'll provide a calm, safe environment and follow your directions closely. I'll treat your pet like they're my own and keep you updated along the way.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grande Pointe
Josephine was absolutely wonderful. She looked after our two dogs and one cat, and all of the animals clearly loved her. When we returned home, everything was clean, well taken care of, and exactly how we left it - which gave us real peace of mind. She was also incredibly accommodating with some unexpected travel issues we ran into, allowing us to leave a bit earlier and return a bit later without any hesitation. That flexibility meant a lot to us. This was our first time using a home sitter, and after our experience with Josephine, we feel completely at ease booking travel in the future. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Grande Pointe 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Grande Pointe 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 Grande Pointe 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, a background 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
