“Kristin took care of our dogs amazingly! Chico and Juno warmed up to her very quickly, and we were sent many photos of the dogs throughout our vacation. She also cleaned our house before our return, such as the bed sheets and blankets in the room she was staying in, and Juno’s diapers. She’s an all-around amazing pet-sitter!! Thank you so much Kristen!”
“Kirsten went above and beyond. Our dog was walked routinely and cats had play time. Our recycle and garbage were emptied and floors were swept. Far exceed our expectations. Clear and consistent communication. Kirsten is a lovely articulate young lady; our animals were in good spirits upon our return”
“Natacha is an outstanding pet/house sitter. Very communicative, goes above and beyond in so many ways and most importantly really cares about the little animals. Highly recommend.”
“Another fantastic job. Really took care of my dog like he was hers. Communication was good. Even though I was several time zones away. Always ready to do right by my dog. If you really want someone that will care for your pet and has great communication skills, Shayleece is fantastic.”
“Brena is a joy to deal with, she has watched our three dogs twice now. Our dogs love her and are so well taken care of it gives us great peace of mind to know that Brena is watching them.”
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.
“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!”
About: I grew up in households with pets my whole life including both dogs and cats! With my own fur baby now that is 13 years old I am well equipped to take care of older pets. I love spending time with pets of all sizes and ages and would love to get to meet your pet! I am currently a student so when I am not attending a class I have full availability to provide care to your pets. I am fully available to spend time with your animals on weekends and in the mornings, evenings and nights during the week! I would love to meet with your pets ahead of time to learn their routines and comfort levels to ensure I can provide the most comfortable and safe care possible for your pet! With multiple years of experience with pets of different sizes I am fully comfortable with dog walking, crating animals when requested and accommodating special needs.
“We appreciated the meet and greet with Ranchelle as our dog is new to our family. We wanted him to feel comfortable with a new caregiver. We received many photo updates throughout the weekend. Ranchelle followed through with difficult walks as our dog is quite reactive.”
“Was very pleased with Leila's dog sitting service! She was very sweet & knew all the right questions to ask about my dogs' care. She wasn't even phased by hearing my dog sleeps on the pillow next to me! She also sent me pics of Marti which I really liked:) She kept my place very clean, which was nice to come home to after a weekend away. I will definitely recommend her to my friends!!”
About: I absolutely love caring for all animals. Reptiles, dogs, cats, birds, etc! I worked at a pet store for awhile and also frequently babysat my friends two dogs. I have also taken care of my own cat for 10 years now, as well as my friends cat. I am aware of the difference temperaments dependent on breed, and dietary restrictions that they may have. I have always had a deep caring for animals and I would love to display that for your pets. Please note I am only accepting sitting bookings for the St James/Crestview/Charleswood/Polo Park area. Anything further unfortunately I cannot accept. I cannot work mornings before 10am as I am also a caregiver. Thank you! I’m currently working part time as a receptionist that allows me lots of flexibility to make time for your furry friends! I can spend nights if needed, and I also drive. I will always go over specific instructions with you as a home owner to make sure everything is in check before leaving your pet in my caring hands. I will constantly keep you updated on your pets status, how they are doing, and even if you want to video chat your furry friend to say hello, that is great too!
About: Your pets deserve more than just someone to feed them and let them outside, they deserve someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and caring companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet happiest. I have experience walking dogs at the Humane Society for around two years and I grew up with a dog for 18 years. My goal is simple: to treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I make every effort to work around their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime. Whether you need regular care while you're at work or someone to look after your pet while you're away, I'm committed to providing dependable care and keeping you updated every step of the way. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I provide a calm, supervised environment and always pay close attention during walks, playtime, feeding, and outdoor activities. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including medication schedules, dietary needs, and behavioral preferences. I also believe that communication is an important part of pet care. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the attention they deserve. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: I've been a cat owner for most of my adult life and have also done cat sitting, dog walking/sitting for friends and family over the years. Starting at the end of August I'll be working part-time (4 days per week) and can do early morning visits/walks or late afternoon early evenings. I treat all my own and other's pets with lots of love. I generally prefer animals to people and most people would say I'm a natural with animals.
“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.”
“Cindy was *phenomenal*. I was on an extremely stressful trip and she was so communicative and send so many pics of my crew, it was a huge weight off my mind to not have to worry about them. She dealt with my reactive dog and shy cats with understanding, empathy, and competence and was an absolute lifesaver when a cancelled flight and some other issues caused delays. Will definitely book Cindy again if she's willing and available the next time I travel!”
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.
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and am in school to become a veterinary assistant, so I have experience caring for all different kinds of dogs and animals! I have 2 dogs of my own, one is a puppy I’m raising, and they are just the sweetest things. I work 1 day a week, so other than that all of my time is free and flexible to work around your schedule and your needs! I promise to take as good of care of your fur babies as I do of my own! I care for them in the comfort of your own home! So they don’t need to get used to a whole different environment. I do daily drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight pet sitting.

The average cost for House Sitting in Headingley on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
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!
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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
