About: I’ve taken care of my cat Lincoln for 9 years now, and am unable to adopt a dog because of the apartment I live in. I would love to spend some quality time with dogs however, I miss them so much! I’m currently working part time and trying my best to spend all my free time outdoors, I would love a dog companion for my walks! My cat has remained an indoor cat ever since I have adopted him, and I’m very dedicated to making sure he stays safe and healthy!
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.
“Tiffany was en excellent sitter! The dogs were very comfortable with her - and calm/happy when we came home. She left our home tidy - and with a few adorable 'easter eggs' and a lovely note. We highly recommend!”
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 have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, including having my own beloved dog, Coach, who taught me just how much love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. Your dog won’t just be another booking to me I’ll care for them with the same love and kindness I gave my own. 🐶❤️ I work full-time from home, so I’m able to be around throughout the day and give your pup plenty of attention, companionship, playtime and regular breaks. My flexible work-from-home routine makes it easy for me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks and your dog’s usual routine. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines and house rules. I’m attentive to changes in behaviour and will make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. 🐾
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.”
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: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals. I am a self-taught dog groomer and currently work at a dog daycare, where I care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. My responsibilities include supervising the dogs, feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning up after them, and making sure they are comfortable, safe and well cared for. I have also grown up around animals and currently live in a home with dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, multiple-pet households and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether that means walks and lots of playtime, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone around so they feel comfortable while their family is away, I’m happy to adapt to what works best for your pet. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work at a dog daycare in Winnipeg, typically for six-hour shifts, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my day. When I’m at work, one or both of my parents are usually home, and my mom works from home part-time, so dogs staying with us can still receive regular potty breaks, attention and care. When I’m home, I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine as much as possible to match what your pet is used to at home. We live out in the country with a large fenced yard, providing plenty of space for dogs to enjoy the outdoors. We take our dogs for daily walks and are happy to include visiting dogs in our routine. Whether in our home or yours, I follow your pet’s feeding, walking and care instructions and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and affection.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Selkirk maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Selkirk walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Selkirk 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
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.
