“My dog is excitable and demanding. I really appreciated that Freya was calm, ignoring my dog while we met and made a plan. This allowed my dog to calm down. They were a great pair heading out the door for a walk.”
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.
“Sarah is very understanding and patient with my high-maintenance dog. She made certain to learn the many rules of walking a dog who doesn't get along with others and is nervous of strangers. I feel completely confident leaving my girl with Sarah!”
About: I've cared for a bunch of dogs through dog-sitting and have lived with, cared for, and become close to several dogs and cats. I've also done a lot of research regarding cats & dogs - but I'm very respectful of owners’ beliefs and instructions. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now because I'm self-employed with another business as well. I'm generally available 7 days a week, depending on my other work and plans. I can care for pets in my home or at your home. My home is clean, safe and has room for pets to play and relax. I have lots of toys for dogs and cats, and depending on the pet, we can also spend time in the yard or go for walks.
About: I have my wobbly cat(Neko), I have experience of handling disabled cats, can administer meds. I speak cat fluently and purr occasionally, love em fur babies 🐈⬛. I work from home and have two senior cats as well. I can be available anytime for more fur babies in house and they can have my attention 24/7. My apartment has plenty of sunlight and a big window for kitties to look outside. Also my cats super friendly and love to have friends around and will keep good company to your babies. We also have ways to keep cats separated for the ones who don’t feel comfortable around other pets.
“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 raised two cats from 8 weeks old, one to age 17 and the other to 18. I also helped raise a yellow Lab from puppyhood through her senior years, when she developed arthritis and hearing loss, so I know how to care for dogs with age-related needs. I currently have a chihuahua corgi mix, and between puppy classes and a family member who's a professional dog agility trainer, I've picked up solid, practical training knowledge. I lived in an apartment for years, so I'm well practiced with calm, consistent leash-only bathroom breaks. Comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I'd love to help care for your pet. I am currently working remotely and have schedule flexibility and can take care of your pets within my weekly routine. Depending on the date that you request care, I can be available to stay at your home full-time, i.e. potty breaks every hour, or, on certain weeks, potty breaks every few hours. Please specify how frequently your pet must be let out, and let me know if your pet requires constant supervision - This can be accommodated, depending on the dates. I am unable to care for your pets in my own home but will follow instructions given in order to take care of your pets in your own home.
“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.”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish, newts, snakes, hamsters and guinea pigs since I was 10 years old. I have been a breeder of Old English Sheepdogs and Himilayan Cats. I love all animals and treat them with kindness. I am retired and available to board 1 animal in my house over night or 2 animals for daycare during the day. I can take care of several animals in pet owners homes or walking each day. I have a fenced yard and a house that is used to having animals in it. The animals can be cared for in the same manner that I would take care my own pet. All rooms in my house are pet friendly with the exception of the living room that I keep the door closed to. Whatever style of care you choose for your animal is exactly what I can provide. They can be free range or contained in one space, day or night. I always let your pet guide me in the way they want to be cared for. If they are timid I wait until they warm up to me and if they are friendly and brave, I pick them up and give them rubs and scratches as soon as they arrive.
About: I have over 13 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I have my own pets and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I also have several years of experience helping animal shelters and fostering animals. I am comfortable with large dogs and multi-pet households. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of attention while following each pet’s individual routine and their owner’s instructions. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I always try to follow your pet’s usual routine and can discuss the best time and schedule with each owner. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, routines, and house rules. I always keep dogs securely leashed outside and pay close attention to their behavior. I am comfortable caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats and multi-pet households. I will also keep you updated about your pet while they are in my care.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, been dog sitting since I was 10 and have loved caring for animals as long as I can remember. I spent two years fostering puppies, this included caring for up to 11 puppies and mom at a time. Each litter taught me more about patience, different routines, and individual needs. Alongside that, I also have 2 cats of my own and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and love languages. 💕 I currently have a very flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, while making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I’ll also send photo and video updates through Rover so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for the past 2 years, usually for friends and family. I am a full time teacher and I love animals. I do own a cat named Sammy who is my whole world. I use the services of Rover when I am out of town all the time and I decided to join the community because I want to give people the opportunity to go away on a weekend getaway and have someone qualified to care for their pet. I don't have many pictures of the pets I look after but I will keep taking pictures from now on every time I go and care for a pet. I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I would like to reserve my weekends to care for your pet. I can schedule week days as well as needed depending on my school schedule. Since I have the summers off, my availability will increase as of July 1st. I would prefer to go to a client's home to provide care for their pets. Due to my current condominium regulations, I can only have 1 pet at my place. I clean, feed and walk your dog. I also provide services for cats. I will clean litter box, disinfect and brush.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winnipeg
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.
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!

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 .
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!
