House Sitting River’s Edge

“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.”

“Sara is the absolute best! It’s so hard to leave your pets with someone you don’t know, but Sara made us comfortable from the very start. She is so sweet and friendly and our dog was comfortable with her right away which was definitely a sign of her good nature. The biggest surprise was that even our shy cats made an appearance, which is almost unheard of! She showed up on time, sent us updates and made sure to reach out with any questions. Overall she gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to have her pet sit again next month!”

“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: What sets me apart is my 11 years of hands-on experience raising my own dog from puppyhood to its senior years. I understand the patience needed for puppy training and the gentle, attentive care required for senior pets. I treat every guest with the same lifelong commitment and love I gave my own. 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. I specialize in maintaining consistent routines and constant monitoring to ensure every pet feels safe. From senior-friendly spaces to active puppy supervision, I use my 11 years of experience to manage potential risks and provide total peace of mind for every owner.

“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!”

“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 !”

“Natacha was an incredible dog sitter who exceeded all of our expectations! She stayed overnight in our home to care for our two dogs, Joey and Phoebe, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She expertly managed the different needs of our puppy and senior dog, keeping us updated throughout her stay to reassure us that everything was going smoothly. She took the time to fully understand their routines and behaviors, making sure they felt calm and comfortable. Her patience and dedication made all the difference. When we returned, not only was our home spotless, but Joey and Phoebe were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Natacha’s genuine care and attention gave us such peace of mind, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter!”

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.

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.

“Kamil was great with my 90 kilos English Mastiff, Bane. He tried to get along with him, good during the walks, and the time spent during the day care.”

“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!”

“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: 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.

“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: Hi! My name is Ella and I am a Dog mom of three wonderful pups. I have also spent 5 years working in animal care and grew up around dogs and cats and was an animal lover from a young age! I have experience with medication administration, senior dog needs and puppy’s of all ages ! I can’t wait to meet your furry friends soon! I have an open schedule to fit each and every pets needs as I am luckily enough to be a “stay at home dog mom” :) I am an experienced animal care giver and know how to adapt to the needs of every individual pup and treat them as my own.

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.”

“Our pets were lovingly cared for by Breanne while we were away. She kept in frequent contact with us and sent us photos, too. We came back to some happy animals!”

About: Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie Mon expérience avec les chiens se base sur des années de soins et d’accompagnement, offrant des services adaptés aux besoins de chaque animal, que ce soit en matière d’éducation, de soins médicaux ou d’activités physiques pour assurer leur bien-être. Ce qui me distingue des autres gardiens de chiens, c’est mon expertise en éducation de chiots et en renforcement positif, qui aide à établir de bonnes bases de comportement dès les premiers mois. J’ai eu l’opportunité de travailler avec plusieurs chiots, en leur apprenant les commandes de base comme « assis », « reste » et « viens ». Ma patience et ma capacité à m’adapter à chaque personnalité canine permettent d’assurer un apprentissage agréable et efficace pour les jeunes chiens. De plus, j’ai des compétences en matière de délivrance de soins médicaux, incluant l’administration de médicaments, la surveillance post-opératoire et le soin de petites blessures. J’attache également une grande importance à l’hygiène, en veillant à ce que les espaces soient propres et sécurisés, garantissant ainsi un environnement sain pour le chien. Ma passion pour le bien-être animal et mon attention aux besoins spécifiques de chaque chien font de moi un gardien de confiance, capable d’offrir un service personnalisé et bienveillant. Emploi du temps Je m’assure d’intégrer les services pour animaux de compagnie de manière structurée dans ma routine, en réservant des créneaux spécifiques chaque jour pour les promenades, le jeu et les soins personnalisés. Mes week-ends sont également planifiés pour des visites ou des gardes prolongées, garantissant une présence attentive et constante auprès des animaux que je garde. Sécurité, confiance et environnement Lorsque je garde des animaux chez moi, je crée un espace sécurisé et accueillant, avec des zones dédiées au repos et au jeu, pour qu’ils se sentent à l’aise. En déplacement chez les propriétaires, je m’assure de suivre leurs consignes pour maintenir les habitudes de l’animal, renforçant ainsi sa sécurité et sa confiance. Mes services varient en fonction des besoins : promenades, séances de jeu, alimentation, administration de médicaments, et hygiène, assurant une expérience équilibrée pour chaque animal.
