About: I grew up caring for multiple dogs and have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, and basic training. I also completed professional dog grooming training, which helps me understand dog behavior, body language, and handling. Currently, I’m caring for a cat and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m patient, observant, and always put a pet’s comfort and safety first. Pet care fits well into my current schedule, and I’m available for regular dog walks on weekdays. I enjoy building walking routines that suit each dog’s energy level and personality, whether they need a relaxed stroll or a more active walk. I always prioritize safety and trust during every walk. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and surroundings, and avoid risky situations. I use secure leashes, stay alert at all times, and make sure each dog feels calm, respected, and comfortable during our time together.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, which has given me a deep understanding and intuition for their needs and behaviors. This experience has shaped me into a compassionate and knowledgeable caregiver, capable of forming strong bonds with the pets I look after. I have taken care of dogs of almost all breeds and I ensure that your pet will feel safe and loved in every possible way. I am extremely flexible as i go to school for a few hours and only work the weekends which means that I have plenty of time to play and care for your furry friend! I only need to understand your pet's daily routine to make sure I am able to provide the best service to your pet. I can also provide any last minute service if needed provided the location is accessible :) In caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, my approach is grounded in creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that might meet your pet's needs! I make sure that my commitment extends beyond basic pet sitting to building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. In building a good relationship with the pet, I would like to know their behaviors, any medications they might be on and lastly if they have any special needs. Knowing all of these will help me develop safe environment.
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.
“As a first time user, we were super hesitant to let someone walk our little puppy. Brittany has made us feel comfortable trusting someone else to take our little girl out for a walk. I would definitely recommend.”
About: I truly love getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors who need medication or extra support. I also enjoy working with puppies, using patience and positive reinforcement to help them learn good habits and build confidence. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own. ❤️ I currently work full-time but have a long enough lunch break to check in on pets as needed. My weekends are completely free, allowing me to provide dedicated care and attention. Additionally, I have many holidays available for full-time stays, and I’m especially flexible during the summer as i have the full summer off. This schedule lets me ensure your pets receive the care and companionship they need, while also allowing for regular updates and quality interaction throughout the day. I focus on creating a positive and engaging atmosphere, offering playtime, affection, and mental stimulation to keep them happy. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed while you’re away!! Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I also am happy to attend to other needs of the home upon request, watering plants ect

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Portage la Prairie on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Portage la Prairie. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Portage la Prairie.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Portage la Prairie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 Portage la Prairie 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!
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.
