About: Hello! My name is gurman and I am a veterinary technician student who aspires to serve the animals of her community for the rest of her life! I have been walking dogs in the neighborhood for my family and friends for over 8 years, and have finally decided to turn this into an official venture! I live on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and horses, and I know how important physical and mental stimulation is for our fur babies! I would love to give your animals love and be able to make their and their owners lives a little easier! I am currently taking a semester off from school, so until december I am at your service! I am available all times of the day to come to you, and will work around your hours! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I've owned pets for years, including several cats and a small Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable with both cats and dogs, especially small and medium breeds. Caring for my own pets taught me the everyday essentials: consistent feeding routines, leash walking, cleaning up, and noticing changes in a pet's mood, appetite, or health. I'm patient with shy or anxious animals and always follow each owner's routine closely, because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed. I'm a full-time graduate student at the University of Guelph, so my schedule is organized around my classes. I'm usually available on weekends and on weekday evenings, and I plan my week in advance so I can give every pet reliable, consistent care. For House Sitting, I'll be at your home overnight and will return between classes whenever possible for feeding, play, and potty breaks. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable. I follow your routine exactly, including feeding times, walks, medication, and house rules, and I'll ask about any off-limits areas during our Meet & Greet. I always keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never let dogs off-leash in unfenced areas. I'll send you regular photo updates through the Rover app, and I'll look after your home as carefully as your pet by bringing in mail, watering plants if needed, and locking up whenever I leave.

About: I've always had a soft spot for all creatures under the sun, and being able to care for a pet, be it mine or someone else's always brings me great joy. I owned a cat for over 17 years (and a hamster and 2 rats in college), I currently have one cat at home and have done drop in visits most of my life to help care for all sorts of pets, from fish, lizards, rabbits, cats, and dogs. I have experience as a live in pet sitter, and while I can't bring pets to my house due to my own little territorial fluff ball, I'm just as happy to care for your pets as though they are my own. As an actor, work isn't always easy to come by, and with my flexible availability and empathetic heart, I think I would make a great companion for your pets when you can't physically be with them. I work in the entertainment industry which can be feast or famine, so I am looking for supplemental income for the foreseeable future! Lots of availability right now :) The care I provide is always based on the needs of the pets! Whether it is my utmost attention or just a nearby presence during naps, making your pet happy and comfortable is always my priority!

About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & area Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds my whole life, and have a very deep resonance with cats especially. I’ve had one in every house I’ve ever lived. As this was natural to me, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many cats and homes over the years, sometimes for extended stays. So far, there isn’t a cat I haven’t been able to befriend or at least find harmonious ground. I’m very confident in my ability to take care of these wonderful pets. Though I’m specialized in taking care of cats, my care has been extended towards all animals, and so I have a naturally affinity to caring for any pet. This includes both birds and dogs. I’ve always been able to get along with dogs just as much as cats. In the past few years I’ve had even more opportunity to care for them in my home when their owner leaves. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving affection, and attending to any other instructions. I’ve also assisted in caring for a dog and a home in the past year. This experience has been for both seasoned dogs and puppies, and I love the unique personalities of each. I’m confident in working with small to medium type dogs, though I love the large ones too! I would also love to continue gaining experience with these wonderful creatures. I’m currently student online working towards a diploma, and I’ve left my schedule very flexible to be available to care for the pets of others! Any time of the week will do, when not taking care of other bookings, and I can make myself available. Currently living with a beautiful black cat named cricket, who loves to stop for attention in the hallways and get chin scratches in the Kitchen. As for the home of others, I do my best to bring my utmost respect to the home and attention to instructions, giving proper play time, affection, special care to walking for the unique needs of each dog, and feeding schedules amongst other roles. I take pride into maintaining the safety and standard of the home when in care or it.

About: Hi! We’re Hemmy & Gillian, an animal-loving couple who’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for pets feels natural to to us. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. My boyfriend and I treat every pet as if they were our own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, fetch, or just quiet companionship, we’re happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always our top priority—and we can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶🐱 I’m 25, currently working as an admin assistant and running a small business making candles!

If you are looking for someone to put their all into taking care of your pets, that would be us! We are probably some of the most animal-loving people you will ever meet. We would love nothing more than to give your furry friends the nice, fun walks and genuine care they need!

About: I have had formal training with the both the Kitchener SPCA as a dog care attendant and Paws it Forward foster agency as a foster parent for numerous dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. This has allowed me to develop my skills as a pet sitter and ensure that I am properly taking care of your animals as per industry standards. Additionally, having both a cat and a special needs dog gives me the understanding of the responsibility of looking after another persons pet. As a care provider I am kind, energetic and attentive. If I seem like the right fit don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m able to take breaks to check in on them, provide meals, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. Because I’m home for most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I can also be flexible with timing and adjust my schedule around your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is looking for a walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra company during the day, I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and caring environment while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in house, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.

About: I love to look after pet especially dogs, cats. I couldn't have one because my landlord don't allow me to have. Pets are like human they need to be loved and cared. We are created in one world so we are meant to be lived and loved together. When I lived with my parent, mother used to have dog in our house, and my sister used to have cats too. Since I went abroad I have to live without them and now I'm missing something which is loving and caring God creature named dogs and cats. I started to look after dogs and cats a year ago and continue until now. It was when my landlord have dog and cat. But after 2 months ago she gave them to her daughter who live in another house.

FAQs for House Sitting - Erin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Erin is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.

As of November 2026, there are 3,177 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Erin. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Erin 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 Erin 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 Erin 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 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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
