“Was really happy with the care provided for my dogs. I received updates and pics daily! My home was tidy when I returned and my senior dog looked like he got alot of love & affection! (His hair was brushed and coat looked well) Would definitely recommend & rebook.”
“Shayleece was amazing with my dog, Osito. He took to her right away. She was responsible with his health and food. I had to extend my trip for business reasons and she was very flexible. I couldn't have asked for better care. She also took good care of my house. Osito was well cared for and very comfortable with her. Excellent care. Thank you so much for the help.”
“Brena took great care of our fur baby while we were out of town. We appreciated the many updates she provided and pictures she sent. We felt confident that Seamus was well taken care of, and will look to use a Rena’s services again in the future!”
About: I had a Yorkie for 13 years before adopting my cat Pawl last year. I will be happy to take care of your babies too! I can do boarding for dogs only and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I work from home most days of the week and will also be happy to take care of your pet in the evenings and during weekends. I live in a house with a fenced yard and my indoor only cat is allowed anywhere he likes. My priority is your pet’s safety and happiness and your peace of mind. I will follow your care instructions and make sure to always keep you updated!
“This is our second time booking Princess for house sitting; this time for a longer stay with both our dog and cat. Our pets love her and immediately feel at ease around her. Princess is incredibly respectful and tidy. I will be booking her again in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Natacha! She was left in charge of my dog, three cats, two fish tanks and two frogs for 7 days while my husband and I went in holiday. Poor Natacha had a bit a rough start by me giving her the wrong code to my house by accident. I feel absolutely terrible about that. Once in the house, she looked after my animals amazingly. All my animals looked amazing and my house was so clean when we arrived back home. Natacha communicated throughout the 7days we were away with how the animals were doing. I was so very impressed with her service and if she agreed to look after my animals again, I would hire her in a heartbeat.”
“Ann was amazing. Our springer spaniel, who doesn't like almost ANYBODY at first, took to her immediately. Ann demonstrated over and over that she cared for our dog as if he were her own, and sent consistent updates which were very appreciated. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“This was the second time Cindy stayed with my crew and she's so great with them! I have a reactive dog and 3 cats (2 of them on the shy side) and not only does she handle each of their individual personalities and needs like a pro, she genuienly enjoys the weird little things that make them who they are. It's a HUGE relief to find a sitter who's equally capable with all 4 of them *and* who understands and has limitless patience for my anxiety about leaving them. If I could leave more stars I would!”
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.
“Having Salena look after our pets and home while we were away was definitely the best decision for us and our pets. We found Salena to be responsible and considerate and very attentive to our animal’s needs. She administered prescribed eye drops to our elderly cat 2x daily, noticed when our dog’s arthritis acted up and also noticed and cared for an eye infection our dog had that we had not spotted before our departure. We returned to calm and happy pets and our home in good order.”
About: I have been caring for pets throughout my life and have gained hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, as well as providing in-home pet sitting for dogs and puppies. I am passionate about ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work Monday-Friday. My hours are 8:00-4:30. I have time to care for your pet in the mornings, evenings, weekends and on my lunch break. I would assure your dogs have a safe space inside and outside and are cared for to the best of my ability. I treat every pet like they are my own.
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 had dogs and cats my entire life, so being around animals has never felt like work, it just feels normal. Our home always had two or more dogs at a time (of all sizes), so I’m very comfortable juggling big personalities, different energy levels, and all the chaos that comes with a happy pack. My family used to breed Mastiffs, which means I truly grew up raising puppies. I was there for the tiny, clumsy stages, the early training moments, and all the cuddles in between. Helping care for litters taught me patience, structure, and how important consistency is, especially with large breeds. I’ve also loved and cared for senior dogs (fostering), small dogs (had a couple little pomeranians), so I understand the softer side of things too. Slower walks, extra gentleness, watching closely for comfort and mobility, and making sure they still feel safe and happy. Animals have always been family to me. I’m big on affection, routine, and making sure every pet feels secure and spoiled in the best way. Whether your dog loves long walks, play sessions, or just being someone’s shadow, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work Monday to Friday from 9 to 5, which makes me a great option for evening walks, check ins, and overnights during the week. I’m fully available on weekends, so I can dedicate plenty of time to longer stays or more active pups who need extra attention. I live in a house with two other girls who also love animals, so it’s a welcoming home environment with space and flexibility. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first, and I’m happy to stick closely to whatever they’re used to. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel a little vulnerable because they’re family. I care for animals the same way I care for my own, with a lot of attention, patience, and love. I’m careful about things like doors, gates, and sticking to their normal routine because I know how important those small details are. Whether I’m in your home or they’re in mine, I want them to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for, not just “watched.”

I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind! I currently have the summer off, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm available throughout the week and can give your pet the time, attention, and exercise they deserve. I'm also happy to work around your schedule whenever possible.I have experience house sitting and caring for dogs in their own homes, where they're most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any other instructions to help your pet feel safe and settled while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own.

About: What sets me apart is my 11 years of hands-on experience raising my own dog from puppyhood to its senior years.

Since I work from home, pet care is naturally integrated into my day. I provide constant supervision and companionship, taking regular breaks for walks, backyard playtime, and belly rubs. Your pet will never be alone and will enjoy a consistent routine right alongside me. I provide a secure, supervised, and loving environment.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Headingley 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 Headingley 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 Headingley 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. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
