“My two dogs really enjoyed their time with Freya. She walked my two reactive dogs every day and they were always excited to see her. I appreciate all she did for my dogs during their time with her!”

About: I’ve had many pets in my lifetime, I’ve been raised with both dogs and cats my whole life! Most of my experience has been with larger dogs and cats, but I’m super flexible and willing to care for any kind of pet. I can walk, drop in to feed, deliver medicine, snuggle or have a play date with your pet. I pride myself in being friendly and easy to get a long with, so I hope we can work something out! Sunday- Available all day Monday- Unavailable between 9am-12pm Tuesday- Unavailable all day Wednesday- Unavailable between 9am-12pm Thursday-Unavailable all day Friday- Unavailable between 9am-12pm Saturday- Available all day I understand the importance of patience when working with animals. I will treat your pets with respect and dignity, and I promise to love and care for them like they are my own.
About: I grew up with cats and have cared for them practically my whole life. I had a dog, that I trained from a puppy, in my 20s, and have cared for many other people’s dogs as well (including senior dogs). I also had fish and a frog as a teenager and have some minimal experience caring for rabbits and hamsters too. My current cats are formerly feral, one of whom is extremely anxious and takes daily medication for her anxiety so I understand how to care for especially nervous and skittish kitties. I’m also familiar with the signs of UTIs in cats and can be on the look out for them if your cat is prone to them. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family my whole adult life and am excited to expand my services to others in the community. My schedule, except for very early mornings, is pretty flexible. I can be available after 9 or 10am (depending on distance from my home) until 9:00 pm almost any day of the week. Upon first meeting new animals it’s important to allow them to come to me first. I get on their level and allow them to approach me to help establish myself as a safe person. I try to be a calm presence, using slow and deliberate movements; for cats I slow blink at them, for dogs, I avoid direct eye contact. I extend a fist for both cats and dogs and they can decide if they’d like to be touched by me. From there I pay attention to body language and suggestions from you on where your pet prefers pets and scratches. Play and treats (if allowed) are also really helpful in building a trusting relationship. As for other care - feeding, meds and walks, I follow the instructions you provide.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had the privilege of raising both rescue dogs and a purebred Golden Retriever over the years. Each one has shaped how I care for animals—with patience, understanding, and a lot of love. In our home, pets truly are family. Their happiness, comfort, and well-being are always a top priority, just as if they were children. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known for being kind, conscientious, and reliable—not just with dogs, but with people too. I’ll always communicate clearly, show up when I say I will, and make sure you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. My approach is simple—I care for every pet as if they were my own. That means plenty of exercise tailored to your dog’s individual needs, along with a strong focus on mental stimulation through enrichment, play, and engagement—not just walks. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routine and environment, keeping things as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, while also giving them the patience and calm presence they need to feel at ease. I care for every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, happiness, and well-being at all times.
“Nicole is quick to respond, very reliable, and easy to communicate with. My dog loves her and Nicole gives detailed reviews on the time spent with him. I would highly recommend Nicole.”

“Kaily is awesome! She arrived 5 minutes early, poop bags for just in case and water for Sunny during their walk. Kaily also provided pics during the walk and a map so I knew exactly where they were. Excellent service and a job well done. Sunny came home happy and because his walk was scheduled in the evening, he was content for the remainder of the evening. I will definitely be re-booking Kaily on a weekly basis!”

About: I love all dogs- big and small! I have a medium sized (aprox. 60 lb) female mutt who is really easy going. She gets along really well with other dogs and people. We go to Maple Grove dog park every day, and would love to have your dog join us. I have had many different dogs over the years, big and small. During your dog’s stay at my home I can help to to train your dog to behave, teach them tricks, and - of course - love them to bits! Really, in my opinion, dogs are the best! I am home full time to take care of your fur baby. When your dog is in my care, my focus is on them alone. I have a fully fenced yard and a very easy going pup to play with (or help train) your pup. Your dog can sleep on a dog bed, couch, or in bed with me!
About: Dog mom + experienced sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized care by learning your dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m experienced with puppies (basic training, potty routines), senior dogs (gentle care, slower pacing), and handling different temperaments, from high-energy to more anxious pups. Expect reliable care, consistent updates, and lots of attention… plus plenty of belly rubs 🐶✨ I work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone all day-they’ll have company, care, and lots of attention. I’m pretty flexible right now, so walks, playtime, and check-ins easily fit into my daily routine. My home is clean, calm, and close to great walking spots by the park and river. Since I work from home, your dog won’t be left alone and will get plenty of attention. I follow their routine closely so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I care for every dog like they’re my own 🤍
“Memphis did an amazing job walking Zeus! She was patient, attentive, and made sure Zeus got the exercise and attention he needed. I could tell Zeus felt comfortable and happy the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing he’ll be in good hands. Thank you, Memphis, for taking such great care of him, we’ll definitely book with you again!”

“Lucie has been walking my dog a couple times per week when I go to the office. I am beyond pleased with how wonderful everything is going. Lucie is very responsible and punctual.

I would highly recommend her for anyone needing dog walks or pet check ins.”

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: 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.

I was away for a week with Bethany standing in for me as dog walker and I couldn’t be happier . My dog actually got more walk time than he usually gets and more time to sniff around. Bethany was able to handle my big dog who is very strong and pulls at times. She showed up for every walk even in the rain. Thank you Bethany!

Harry really has taken to Sarah, and we will be seeing her again soon. Always happy to do extra walks, if needed and genuinely loves being around my dogs......She is so pleasant and very trustworthy. She even showed with one of Harry’s favourite treats – she recalled from last time, these special touches make all the difference! Wag Wag
My experience with Cassandra was wonderful! They arrived on time and clearly has experience and knowledge around working with animals. They were gentle and kind with piper, and send me pictures of their walk. I would absolutly reach out to them again when im needing a sitter or dog walker!

Lucie has been walking my dog a couple times per week when I go to the office. I am beyond pleased with how wonderful everything is going. Lucie is very responsible and punctual. She always sends pictures and updates after the walk which really appreciate. I know my dog is well taken care of while she is out with Lucie. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing dog walks or pet check ins.

My large dog, Percy has been having a hard time with other dogs lately. My two dogs and I met Alicia at the large dog park in the afternoon. I must admit I was a bit worried to turn Percy over to Alicia since he has been nervous lately. She was awesome. Immediately she took Percy's leash and helped me carry Poochie to the park. Poochie and I held back and Alicia took Percy off for a faster walk. She observed him and was able to lead him in directions that kept him calm. I was very happy that they both worked out quite well. Thank you Alicia for your help and experience. <3

Anthony is amazing! My pups enjoyed his company a lot. They're weary over new people sometimes, especially men but they instantly loved him. He followed my instructions clearly, took some beautiful pictures and he even took them for an extra long walk. I booked him on short notice and he accommodated no problem. I highly recommend Anthony! And will definitely hire him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Winnipeg is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 353 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Winnipeg. About 88% of Winnipeg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Winnipeg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Winnipeg after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Winnipeg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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 Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Winnipeg 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!
