House Sitting Riverdale

“We are finally back and settling in, and we wanted to send Alex the biggest, most heartfelt thank you possible. Alex absolutely saved our butts by stepping in at the last minute. Because of her, we were able to travel all the way from Winnipeg to the Yukon and Alaska and back without a single worry in our hearts. Knowing our home and Chauncey, River and Chibby Chunks were in such caring, capable hands meant the world to us—it truly let us relax and fully enjoy the adventure. Thank you for being our hero on such short notice. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, reliability, and the wonderful care you provided. We would recommend Alex to anyone searching for someone to care for their fur babies and their home while away. Alex provided consistent updates through photos and texts. We returned to a spotless well cared for home and three very cared for dogs who quite frankly, were having so much fun, they never knew we even left for a month.”

About: Hey there! My name is Blair and I want to make your life easier by walking your dog!!! Let me take em for a stroll, they can get some fresh air and exercise!! My dog Lily passed this May and it’s left a hole in my heart and would love to share that love with your dog!! Extremely dependable. I know what it’s like to leave your pet alone and instantly wonder if you should, and I’m here to tell you I’ve got you covered. I’ll make sure your dog or cat is taken care of and make sure you don’t have a worry in the world. Besides work, and looking after my own dog I have more then enough free time to help out and make sure all your needs are covered while you are gone. Whether it’s playing or feeding your dog or cat, cleaning out it’s litter box, heck I’ll even shovel your snow while you’re gone(seriously!) I currently work full time in the south end of the city from 8-430! I have my own vehicle and can get to you within city limits. I currently live in a condo, so having your pet stay with me may not be the best but I am more then happy to take care of yours from an environment they are more comfortable with.

“Freya stayed in my home for 3 days and gave both my dog and my home exceptional care! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch over their precious fur ball :) Will definitely boom her the next time we are out of town!”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“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!”

Shannon C.

“Kaily was excellent with my dog Charlie. She kept me informed and the house was clean when I got home. I would not hesitate to book Kaily again.”

Michael K.

“Our 3 cats were in great care with Kinsey! 2 of our girls were unexpectedly on some medication during the sitting and Kinsey handled that with no problems. She was very proactive with setting up a meet and greet and making sure any information she needed was clear. We came home to happy cats and a clean home! Would book again for sure !”

Danéa G.

“Kathryn was a great house and dog sitter. Daisy got incredibly sick when I was away, and Kathryn was able to take her to the vet to get checked out. She handled a very stressful situation with grace.”

Brittany S.

“Princess took care of our six year old cat and she did an outstanding job!! Our cat is very shy but trusted Princess quickly as she was kind and patient with him. She even managed to get him to drink water, which we had been struggling with. In the videos she sent es everyday, we could see that our orange scaredycat came out of his shell which is an extraordinary accomplishment. We would love to have her back!”

Melanie B.

“Amanda was very attentive to my dogs . She took amazing care of them. She also walked them and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend Amanda for your puppy care”

About: Hello! My name is Ashley and I am a dedicated pet care provider in Winnipeg's North End as well as life long pet parent. I'm passionate about ensuring your furry family members are happy, loved and comfortable! For overnight house sitting, I specialize in creating a predictable routine for your pets. I understand that pets thrive on routine and comfort. Under my care, I'll ensure your pets are cared for and loved as if they are my own. You'll receive photo updates to give peace of mind while you're away. I have experience with walking, playing, feeding, administering oral medications and providing regular groomings. I'm excited to meet you and explore how I can care for your fur babies while you're away or time constrained! **To ensure I can provide the best care for your pets, and to make sure the environment is a good fit for me as well, I require a thorough, whole-house tour during our initial Meet & Greet for any overnight pet sitting. This helps me get acquainted with your pets' routine and space, and allows me to confirm the home has a clean, comfortable, and safe environment with proper climate control (heating/air conditioning) for the duration of the stay."** I have a decently flexible schedule, as I am self employed. Reach out to discuss schedule options! I’m hoping to connect with a few local clients who could use reliable, close-to-home pet care support in the area near Sinclair Park Community Center. My priority when caring for your pets in your home is their safety, comfort, and happiness, all while respecting and securing your property. Before Your Departure: During our Meet & Greet, we'll thoroughly review your pets' routines, needs (food, medication, exercise), and any special instructions or anxieties. We'll also establish clear emergency protocols, including vet contacts, and discuss secure home access. I'll do a walkthrough to identify any potential hazards and ensure the environment is pet-proofed to your specifications. During the Stay: I follow all established routines as closely as possible for feeding, medication, and exercise to minimize stress for your pets. For dogs, all walks are on-leash, with safety checks and adjustments made for weather conditions. If you'd like outdoor time for your kitties, cats are always carefully watched while outside on a harness and leash. I am highly vigilant about preventing escapes, always securing doors and gates. I regularly monitor the home environment for anything unusual. I'm committed to maintaining clean litter boxes for cats and promptly cleaning any accidents from either cats or dogs, ensuring a clean and hygienic space. Your home will be treated with the utmost respect, always secured upon entry and exit.

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 have 15 years of experience living with and caring for cats, so I understand their behavior, routines, and how to keep them comfortable and stress-free. At the same time, my wife and I currently have a German Shepherd, so I also have hands-on experience with large, active dogs. I’m confident handling walks, feeding, and daily care, and I understand the importance of structure, safety, and attention. Pet owners can rely on me for responsible, consistent, and attentive care. I treat every pet with patience and respect. I work remotely from home, which means I’m available to stay with your pet throughout the day and provide constant care, attention, and supervision. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and not left alone. Flexible schedule and reliable presence guaranteed. I focus on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for every pet. I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and any special care requirements. Working from home allows me to supervise pets throughout the day and respond quickly if needed. I have hands-on experience with both cats and large dogs, including my own German Shepherd in the past, so I’m confident handling different temperaments. Safety, consistency, and trust are my top priorities.

I am well-rounded in animal behavior and can easily determine if/and when animals need to be separated, require medical care, or need a bit more play time!

“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.”

“I came home to a very happy kitten. I was nervous to leave her so long. So I asked for not too much info. Holly just let me know all was good so I don't know details. But my kitten seemd healthy and playful and cuddly when I returned and the place tidy. She was as Holly said in "good hands."”

About: I have had cats of my own my whole life starting as kittens throughout being seniors so I am good with working with any age of cats. I have experience with dogs ages 1+ walking them, feeding them, giving medicine, diapers, playing with them, all of the above! I also have my first aid & cpr training. I work until 3:30 monday-friday so I am free in the morning, after work and on weekends also for taking care of cats and dogs. I have my first aid & cpr training along with a criminal record check if you are wanting someone to stay in your home. I always double check that the persons gates are closed properly before I let the dogs out. Before I leave for a walk I always double check everything is attached for whatever type of leash is being used. I will walk and feed them whenever is requested by the 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.

About: Hi! I’m Kerry and I’d love to take care of your pet(s) while you’re away. Growing up around animals, caring for them has always been second nature to me. I've owned many cats over the years and one sweet pup who recently passed. I’ve been pet sitting for over 25 years...longer if you include sitting for friends and family. ​Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, giving meds, light training, going on daily walks, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet with the patience, care and attention they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’m also certified in Pet First Aid through the Canadian Red Cross. ​I know how important it is to feel confident about who is in your home. You can trust that I will treat your space with complete respect—keeping everything clean, secure, and tidy so you can return to a fresh house and happy pets after your trip. ​I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work full time Monday to Friday in education. I get 1 to 2 days per week to work remote, which enables me to keep your pets company! I am able to care for dogs in my own home, provided you know they are able to get along with cats. Otherwise, I'm happy to sit in your home.
