“Titiksha was absolutely amazing! She kept everything clean, sent me videos and pictures, she messaged me for any concerns. Such a good cat sitter. Thank you so much!!”
“Nicolle is so wonderful with our fur babies and makes us feel confident leaving them with her. She checked in with us with questions to make sure she's doing the right thing and seemed to spend alot of quality time making the cats feel comfortable with her. We already have our next stay booked with Nicolle!”
“I was really happy with the care you gave my cats. You were very proactive and attentive and I really appreciated all the pictures and updates. The only thing I wanted to mention was the situation with the keys. I unfortunately don’t drive so I wasn’t able to drop them off as early as I would have liked, and I did feel bad about the inconvenience. When you asked if you were expected to stay the full hour, I also felt a bit uncomfortable saying yes because I was worried about inconveniencing you even more. For the key return I had originally planned to pick up the keys myself and only asked if I could pick them up later today. You offered to drop them off after another appointment, which I really appreciated and thanked you for. So I was a little surprised to later feel like I had asked you to make that last-minute arrangement, if you had said no I would’ve been there at the time we had discussed I really do appreciate your flexibility but I wanted to be honest that I felt a little uncomfortable with the communication around the keys. That said, I really appreciated the care you gave my pets and all the updates you sent 😊”
“Freya did an amazing job! Warm, friendly, responsible, and conscientious. Cat care was outstanding. And communication was detailed and timely. I will definitely hire her again!”
““Brena was absolutely amazing, and I’m so glad we found her! It was such a relief to know my kitties were well taken care of and loved. They got their outside time, their rubs, and all the attention they needed. The pictures she sent were always the highlight of my day—waking up to them and going to bed with those wholesome images really put my mind at ease, knowing they were getting love every day. Thank you for going the extra mile doing the little you did, I really appreciate it”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about a decade. I have had two of my own dogs who were high-energy and took medication every day. I have also taken care of the neighbours' dogs as needed if they were away for short periods. I currently own a very needy and rambunctious cat who also takes medication daily, so I am accustomed to that as well. I am currently a full-time student working roughly 9-5, but I am flexible. I am available in the evening and on weekends as needed. Open to negotiation. I am pretty comfortable with animals and don't mind being covered in fur! I can crate your pet if needed and will do my best to make them feel comfortable.
“Anne is an exceptional pet sitter who goes above and beyond to care for the pets and the house. Before the appointment, she visited the cats to familiarize herself with the space and setup, which is more than what’s expected. The cats instantly connected with her, and their bonding with her was seamless. Thank you so much, Anne, for your exceptional service. ☺️”
About: Hi there! We’ve both been surrounded by animals for years, and our hearts are fully claimed by two adorable cats of our own. Titiksha has loved and cared for animals since her teens, from her family dog back home to countless cats she’s doted on over the years. Kuljit officially joined the cat club after meeting Titiksha’s sassy feline, and together we adopted another furball—now we’re happily wrapped around four tiny paws! We adore learning each pet’s quirks, giving them calm, cozy care, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and understood—purrs, head boops, and cuddles included. I (Kuljit) work in and out of house for few hours and my partner (Titiksha) is always home, so there’s always someone around to give your pet attention and care they deserve. Our apartment is spacious, filled with natural light, and has big windows perfect for birdwatching (aka "cat TV") and sunbathing. Your pet will also have two calm and friendly feline companion while staying with me. We also have experience caring for cats with medical needs-whether that's administering medication, special diets, or just a little extra TLC. If your fur baby needs any special attention, we’re more than happy to accommodate and provide the love and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Your pet's happiness and well-being are our top priorities. We’d love to welcome them into my home and treat them like one of my own while you're away.
About: I have experience caring for fish, painted turtles, salamanders, guinea pigs, parrots, dogs, and cats. Most of which are from childhood family pet care experience. My most extensive pet care experience is with dogs, as I have experience working at dog daycare and overnight kenneling. I love all pets as my own! Downtown Evening Walker & Overnight Housesitter Because I work a stable early-morning schedule (6:00 AM – 2:30 PM), your pets get my full attention all evening and all night long. I have full-day availability every Tuesday and Wednesday, and I am ready for walks or drop-ins any evening after 3:00 PM. For overnight stays, I happily base myself out of your home to ensure your pets follow their exact morning and evening routines seamlessly. Based right in West Broadway, I primarily serve Downtown, the Exchange District, and Broadway, but I am happy to travel across Winnipeg for the right match. Let's connect for a quick evening Meet & Greet! I live in an apartment building that does not allow pets, so I strictly work in your home and/or walks. I have trusted references to provide upon request and I am more than happy to send updates throughout housesitting pet care that I provide. I am flexible and will follow your instructions and methods in order to provide the best care for your pet.
“We highly recommend Carmelle to any pet parent looking for a highly capable, caring sitter, whether drop ins and/or pet sitting. She went above and beyond to ensure our kitties had everything they wanted and needed during our time away. Upon our return, our home was spotless and our kitties appeared to be so well cared for. Both our cats, Dilly and Ozi, formed a wonderful bond with her. We so hope to have her watch our kitties again soon!”
“Thanks again, Emilya! Our trip was easier with the peace of mind that came from knowing our cat was well-cared for. As an older cat with diabetes, it's a big deal to have found a go-to pet sitter who keeps him healthy and socialized when we're away.”

“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.”
“Meghan exceeded my expectations when she watched my little Henry during my recent business trip to Toronto. She was attentive, I knew when she arrived and left due the check in feature she uses. Lots of pictures and always a note to let me know how my kitty was doing. I will definitely be booking Meghan again!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winnipeg
Nicolle was wonderful with our two - she came into a challenging situation due to some unforeseen circumstances which were not of her making - and befriended them both, so we came home to two happy and calm cats. She was so kind and patient with both of them and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. Can’t say enough good here - constant communication and questions to make sure all was ok.
Meghan was fantastic. She came over and got the lay of the land. I have an older dog with health issues and she took very good care of him. Filled out the cards with photos, the dog is older and she took that into account. All I can say is excellent, really took the anxiety down for me.
It became evident very early in that we had chosen the right pet sitter with Christine. She has a sincerity about her that made us feel secure. That feeling was quickly affirmed when receiving daily pics - videos and updates from her. We could see that our cat felt comfortable and safe w her- satisfying our main objective. As to the security of our home- she was top notch - surprising us with extras like reporting on the condition of our yard and neighbourhood after the bad storm - removing the sitting water from our screen house roof and taking care of smaller but important details like mail. Our cat looked as fat on our return as before we left! Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience with Duha! She took such great care of my cat, kept me updated, and made sure my cat was comfortable while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring hands. Thank you so much for your kindness and excellent care of Kiwi!
Safia was wonderful with our cat, Wall-E. She stepped in on very short notice, which was a huge help, and kept us updated throughout our time away with messages and photos. It was clear that Wall-E was well cared for, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Safia was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter.
Jordan was fantastic! Very conscientious and caring about our two cats and making sure they ate & drank and got some love. He even got our fearful boy to come around and accept pets and belly rubs. He was great with communication and sent many photos of his visits. We will definitely book with Jordan again!
Arissa was fantastic. She took excellent care of our pets while we were away, including administering oral medication. She was consistent, friendly, professional, and bonded quickly with our pets. We were able to go away and feel completely comfortable with the care of pets. Strongly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Winnipeg on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 357 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Winnipeg. About 85% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Winnipeg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
