Emily took care of our two dogs and stayed at our house with them for the weekend. She is great with pets, provided us with regular updates, and everyone was happy and well taken care of when we got home! Not to mention our home was clean and tidy. We highly recommend Emily!

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.

This was my first time using this service and I was a little nervous, but as soon as I met Ulyana I felt at ease. While I was away she kept me updated as well as sent me photos of Cali, which was fantastic. She took good care of Cali and left my home spotless. I highly recommend Ulyana and I will definitely rebook her again if I need. She is an absolute pleasure and she took such great care of my Cali.

Natacha was an absolute delight! So kind, friendly, respectful, and accommodating. Our very anxious bulldog loved her and she was knowledgeable about how to navigate our dog’s separation anxiety. We look forward to having her care for our pets again!

This was my first experience using Rover. I was hesitant about having someone stay in my home. Sharon was great with my dog and made me feel very comfortable before and while I was away with great communication. I would book her again and reccomend her as a pet/house sitter

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: My name is Julia and I have been dog and cat sitting for over 7 years and have owned multiple pets. I love animals, and have a chihuahua, papillon and husky! My husky is 2 years old and we’re always out for walks, playing at the park and training. I am always mindful of space, mood and boundaries when interacting with any animal I am caring for. I have been a pet sitter for the past 7 years because I love meeting new animals and genuinely enjoy being around & caring for them. I would love to meet you and your pet (even though they really are family)! I do have a full time job from the hours of 7:00-3:30pm but am readily available to care for your pet outside of these times! I am always mindful of gates and fences / doors when letting animals outside. Making sure that doors and gates are closed as well as any escape holes covered. I am checking on the animals periodically throughout the day. I typically crate my large dog at bed time and let the two little ones sleep in bed with me.

Emily has been very good with our dogs . We have only had her twice so far but we have her booked in February for 5 days. I'm not stressed about our dogs. Which has been a big relief for us. I would recommend her .
