Pet Sitting River’s Edge

About: I’ve been pet sitting for just over 6 years and have fallen in love with the work. I specialize in multi pet homes and furry friends that may have specialized diets and/or medication needs. I recently have relocated to the city after graduating school for aviation! I’m on a job hunt currently but for the time being my schedule is clear and open for your little one! Your pets safety and comfort is my top priority! My goals are to try and disrupt routines the least when you’re away from your pet as well as send regular updates and photos!

“Nicole was thankfully available at the last minute and did a great job taking care of our cat, Wall-E. She was reliable, responsive, and made us feel confident that he was in good hands. We really appreciated her help and would gladly book with her again.”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, raising two Great Pyrenees mixes over the last 15 years, and sharing my home with cats for more than 20 years has given me a deep appreciation for the joy, comfort, and companionship pets bring to our lives. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, affection, and patience. I currently work full time, regular 8-4 hours M-F. I have availability for after work walks or anytime on weekends. I love having a companion for my own daily exercise! I am very attentive to the rules and expectations you have set up for your pet. I will ensure your pet's safety and comfort at all times.

“Incredible to have over and watch my girls. It’s especially hard finding someone comfortable with Great Danes. Follows all care instructions and checks in during the visit.”

“Cheryl provided outstanding care for my two cats. She was exceptionally caring, reliable and detail-oriented. She even handled thoughtful extras around the house, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Her meticulous approach ensured my fur babies felt secure and my home stayed in perfect order. I returned to two very happy cats and a house that felt as though I had never left. I wholeheartedly recommend Cheryl’s services, and we will definitely be seeing her again! 😊”

“Brena was a great cat sitter. Good communication throughout. I felt like my cat was in great hands with her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her.”

About: I’m a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) with 9 years of professional animal care experience and a lifelong love for animals! I have extensive experience handling dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant breeds, and am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, and recognizing changes in health or behaviour. I also have two senior dogs, one of whom is currently receiving palliative care, as well as three cats, including one with diabetes. This has given me an even deeper appreciation for the patience, attention and extra care that senior pets and pets with medical conditions need. I have a background in dog walking and understand the importance of providing safe, positive and engaging experiences for every pet. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic or needs a little extra care, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy! I’m happy to walk and visit with your pets in all types of weather! Rain, snow, or sunshine, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. ❤ I work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Technologist, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunity to provide attentive, quality care to pets. Animal care is already a big part of my everyday life, and I genuinely love spending my free time with animals. I’m able to work around my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-in visits and personalized care. I understand how important consistency and communication are, and I’ll always make your pet’s well-being a priority! As a Registered Veterinary Technologist, safety and animal well-being are always my top priorities. I have extensive experience handling animals of all sizes, recognizing signs of stress or illness, administering medications and caring for pets with special medical needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I strive to maintain their normal routines and environment to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual personality, needs and preferences. I believe in patience, positive interactions and clear communication with pet parents. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets like they’re part of my own family!

About: I have taken care of dogs starting with my puppy about 15 years ago. Kilo was a puppy rottweiler and I rescued him from a potential life of dog fighting. From that day on Kilo was my best friend and companion in everything from work, to school, and home. I learned a lot from my time with Kilo about proper training and pet care, as well as the patience it takes to be a caring sitter. After Kilo I helped my sisters with training and exercising their big dogs (Pitty, and Husky) as well as attending therapy dog training with my partners 2 dogs (Havanese). I am comfortable with administering oral and topical medications, and know about various training and developmental theories for dogs. I cannot wait to meet your and your pets! I am currently working freelance and I have a lot of free time to spend with your wonderful pets. When I do have a gig I am generally only out of the house for 5-6 hours max. I will follow all your routines and guidelines as stated, while also making sure to tire them out so they dont have any anxiety while you're gone.

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 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: I’ve taken care of different kind of pets all my life. My family has a German shepherd who I care for when needed for my parents and I am the standard pet sitter for all my friends. For everything from a bunny to a boxer! I also live in very close proximity to Kilcona dog park if your pet enjoys dog parks! I currently work full time but work from home one day a week. I do travel for work but when at home am done by 4 and have all weekends off. My schedule is very adjustable if needed. I am able to board on weekdays as long as your pet is able to be alone for approximately 8 hours on a weekday! I have a fenced yard and a pet safe home. I have no animals currently so your pet would get all my attention. I live in a two floor house so your pet is free to roam and I have a very dog friendly home as far as furniture goes!

About: We’ve always been happiest with a dog in our home. With one of us working from home full-time, we’re able to give visiting dogs steady company throughout the day along with the walks, playtime, and routine they’re used to. After caring for our girl Nora for 17 wonderful years, my husband and I have lived through every stage of a dog’s life and still miss having that energy around. We already look after the pets of friends and family, and we’re excited to welcome a few more furry guests. We tailor each stay to your dog’s usual needs, whether that means long neighbourhood walks, extra exercise, or trips to the dog park. We’re big believers in keeping things consistent for the dogs we watch. If your pup has house rules, feeding schedules, training cues, or favourite spots to nap, we follow them closely so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. We reinforce the habits and boundaries you’ve already worked hard to build. Caring for our own dog through a few medical challenges taught us how to handle medications, mobility needs, and gentle support for older pets. If your dog needs special care or a bit of extra patience, we’re comfortable providing it. During the week, there is always someone at home, and weekends are usually spent together too. If your dog enjoys little outings, we’re happy to bring them along on pet-friendly errands or quiet park trips. If they prefer a slower pace, we’re just as happy to relax on the couch and keep things calm. We’re simply hoping to bring a bit of that tail-wagging joy back into our home and make your dog feel safe and loved while you are away. My husband works from home and I work 20% at home and 80% in office. We are both off evenings and weekends. We have a 18 year old who is eager to help out when they are around. When it comes to your dog’s safety and comfort, we’re your people. We treat every dog like they’re part of our family, so much so, we’d probably share all our snacks with them if they gave us that “sad puppy eyes” look. Hopefully we would make them do a trick first. Our yard is fully fenced, which means no escape artist dogs on our watch! While we love giving dogs the run of the yard, we also recognise that some dogs need to have their own space. If your dog has a special bed, crate, mat that brings them comfort, bring it. This ensures they have a place they can feel comfortable in. For success we know following usual routines make your pup feel comfortable and safe as possible. Basically, your dog will be treated like royalty... with extra belly rubs.

About: I have only recently begun expanding who's animals I take care of but have been taking care of my personal pets all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, small mammals and amphibians. I have cared for all ages of pets including newborns and geriatric. I can handle administering medications of different sorts. I have first aid training, human and animal. If you have a specific way of doing things that you'd like continued I am more then happy to do so. My main concern is that your family member is well taken care of whether it be for an hour, a day or several days at a time. I have a schedule that is constantly changing. I am doing a training program come early 2025 so my schedule will be tighter than it is now but I will still try to arrange you to fit in. Keeping your pet safe is a big concern. I always check collars and leashes prior to use to ensure their functionality. I do have a dog who loves playing with others if yours needs a companion.

“Kamil is very attentive to our dogs' needs and has priven to go well beyond expectations of an in-home sitter to include bringing JB home when my flight arrival prevented me from picking him up. Kamil listens closely to instructions and makes his best effort to maintain our dogs' relaxation and minimize routine disruption. We are very happy with the service he provides and is our go-to when considering an in-home sitter.”

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: I have grown up with pets my entire life both dogs and cats and love it so much. When I moved to the city I started fostering cats through the humane society and that has taught me many things especially with cats/kittens with medical needs or behaviour issues. I also have helped raise my dogs from puppies. I locally dog/cat sit consistently over the summer and have dealt with kittens, puppies, cats, dogs and seniors and love every single one of them. My priority is making sure your pet is happy and giving them lots of love! I am in school and work. I am able to always make time in mornings or after/in between school or work to see pets whenever possible. I am able to follow any instructions needed for your pet. If there is any medical or behaviour issues, I am comfortable doing whatever is needed. My goal is to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible.

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 husband and I have owned dogs for the past 15 plus years together, and our families both owned them for many years growing up. While he would not attend your home with me, I like everyone to know that our entire house is Pet lovers. My soft spot is for seniors, and dogs with varying degrees of health related issues. The ones that nobody wants and the often misunderstood ones. I have cared for a variety of breeds with varrying degrees of health issues. I have extensive experience in administering medications, IV fluids, intramuscular injections, eye drops, nail trims, and more. I have had 2 blind dogs (one of which had both of her eyes removed due to glaucoma), so am very familiar with their sometimes unique challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with little to no hearing, as well as ones with various levels of behavioral challenges, such as resource/food guarding, stranger/leash aggression, and more. As the owner of Manitoba's ONLY small animal rescue charity, I also have a wealth of knowledge and experience with exotic and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more! While I love a good puppy cuddle, my heart belongs to the older four (or less!) legged friends, and I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family members. Thanks to some amazing clients and word of mouth referrals, I was recently able to quit my corporate job to do pet sitting full time! I am so incredibly greatful for this new schedule, which allows me to dedicate as much time aa possible to caring for your furry family members. I love the idea of coming to your home to care for your pets, as it allows them to continue to feel safe and in a familiar environment. Following their regular routine helps make any time away from mom and dad as stress free as possible. Pets are never left outside unattended, and if you don't have a completely fenced yard, they will always be on a secure leash for potty breaks. If spending overnights in your home, I welcome the pets to share a sleeping space, or crate them as requested. Even if I do things different with my own pets, I want to ensure all of your rules and routines are followed while you are away.

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.
