Zeno hit it off right away with Marie. Loves having Marie here to look after him when we leave the house. Zeno suffers from separation anxiety and had a fabulous time chilling with Marie while we were gone. (and we didn't have to worry about him while we were gone...which was wonderful)

About: I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, temperaments, and care needs through both personal and professional experience. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, small animals, and more. I’m comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and energy levels, including high energy dogs, shy or anxious pets, and animals requiring patience and detailed care. I also have experience with puppy care and basic training reinforcement, including maintaining consistency with routines, potty schedules, and commands. In addition, I have clinical animal experience, which has helped me become confident working with many different temperaments and behaviours. I hold a Bachelor of Medical Science. During my studies, I developed a strong foundation in biology, physiology, health sciences, and overall wellness. This background has strengthened my understanding of health and behaviour. What sets me apart is my focus on individualized care and safety. I take the time to learn about each pet so they can feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own. Working with animals has always been a long-term career goal of mine. It’s something I deeply care about and take pride in. I have flexible availability, and am willing to drop-in multiple times a day if needed. Contact me so that we can make arrangements that work for everyone. I focus on private dog walks and drop-in visits. I believe many pets are most comfortable and least stressed when they’re able to remain in their familiar environment and routine. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and safety-focused. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, comfort level, routines, and any behavioural or medical considerations before services begin. During walks and visits, I focus on: -Secure leash and harness handling -Private, one-on-one care -Monitoring pets for stress, overheating, fatigue, or discomfort -Maintaining routines as closely as possible -Keeping homes secure upon arrival and departure -Providing updates for peace of mind I understand that trust is extremely important when allowing someone to care for your pets and access your home. I approach every visit with professionalism, respect, and attention to detail to help both pets and owners feel safe and comfortable.

Tata was great ! She sat my 8 lb puppy ( Chihuahua) and he was only 5 months old. Tata was extremely intuitive to Rico's needs and training. I was away for 7 days and she welcomed him into her home and made him feel comfortable. She kept in touch daily with video's and texts. I highly recommend her and would book her to watch Rico for any future extended trips I may take.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was born. Now that I am retired, I can spend all my time being with dogs. They deserve all the love in the world. I have foster and rescue many dogs so they can find a lovely home. I have also train dog for agility. Walking a dog is a life privilege. I am also learning to be a dog massage therapist. I am available 7 days a week from sunrise to sunset to give your dog a walk where he can take his time to smell, enjoying his surroundings and spend some energy. Quality time one on one. I offer walk and play for your dogs. Depending on your dog, it can be a very energetic play, run or walk or a leisure pace walk to take the time to smell. My approach is based on the dog needs and want.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little, giving me years of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Your pet will always be treated with patience, safety, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to schedule morning, afternoon, or early evening appointments, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s puppy playtime, a calm stroll with a senior dog, or regular check-ins, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their routine and yours. When I’m pet sitting, I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment calm and familiar, give them lots of attention, and make sure they always feel safe. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pup is doing. I provide safe, structured walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether they need a slow stroll, a quick potty break, or a longer, more active walk.

We are so glad to have had Andrea looking after Sully. Although it was short notice, she still took time for a meet and greet. That was appreciated. Andrea came on time and had the dog outside right away. Sully had a walk with her and much play time. She is a lovely young lady whom we hope to see again.

About: I grew up with a golden doodle my whole life and took care of her. Majority of my family and friends have dogs so I am very used to being around them and taking care of dogs. I have experience walking various dogs, checking in on them, feeding, and hanging out with them! My availability is very open right now and I should be able to commit to anytime offered. Feel free to reach out any day and anytime of the week If I am coming to your house I will ensure to keep your fur baby safe by putting them on a leash when going outside unless there is a enclosed space with a fence. If they are coming to my house I will do the same thing to ensure their safety.

About: First of all - I empathize with your tough decision; leaving your fur baby in the hands of another is always a stressful experience. I want to make sure this is a pawsitive experience for you - to answer any questions, send regular updates and photos of your fur baby being spoiled, feeling safe and comfortable in your absence - which would be stressful for them as well. I will not derail your training or nutrition routines as I know it takes a lot of work and dedication to raise a healthy, happy pet. I work full time M to F, 8 to 3. If by chance your fur baby needed to spend any weekdays with me, I’m happy to crate or provide a space free of dangers - garbages up, stairs downstairs gated off and peaceful music in the background. I can also ask my folks (retired) to stop by for a pet and a pee. Mainly - I am looking to sit during weekends (when I am fully off) and holidays (I get all school holidays off) - where it will be me and your fur baby from morning till night! Also - if your pet is more comfortable at his/her own home, I don’t mind having the discussion of me staying over with you. I think it would be really beautiful to get to know your pet like an auntie so that you all can rely on a familiar face as you travel and your pets grow older! I live on an acre of land, with a creek in my backyard. I do not live on a busy street, however, I do not have a fenced in property. I would never let your dog or cat outside to roam without myself at the end of their leash. I will gladly exercise your fur baby with toys, lick pads and long-tether leash walks, in the backyard, on the trails (depending on heartworm/tick medications up to date), but I would never let them out of my sight (I wouldn’t even be able to do that with my own fur baby as I don’t want them to get into anything and frankly I don’t trust people out there!!)

About: If you’re in need of top-notch care for your beloved pets, you’ve come to the right place. I’m passionate about all animals and cherish the moments I’m able to spend with them. I’ve had pets my whole life and love taking care of them, we had a potbelly pig growing up and I had a Chihuahua for 13 years and now have Coco the Cockapoo. You can rely on me for loving and caring for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pets before booking so that you you have the opportunity to get to know me and I become acquainted with your pet. My most important concern is that your pets feel safe and cared for and the parents truly feel that I’m dependable, reliable and a honest human being. Rest assured I prioritize the well being and happiness of your pets above all else. I’m on ODSP and not working other than dog sitting or cat sitting. I’m available any time that you need me to look after your pets I have a fully fenced school right near me I can take them or if it’s in your home I will take them on walks or to the dog park if you want.

We left our Golden doodle Sadie with Camille for two week while we went on a cruise. Her daily messsages and pictures made is feel so relieved that our dog was being loved and cared for so that we could really relax and enjoy our holiday. She played with her, slept with her, groomed her and loved her while we were gone. We came home to a clean home and a happy pet. Recommend her highly!!

About: I am a lover of all animals! I know everyone says that, but animals are my passion. I am energetic, outgoing, and fun and LOVE spending time with any kind of animal! I have had pets my entire life and hope to one day open a sanctuary for rescued animals. My dream job would consist of being able to spend time with your dogs and give them love, affection, and of course, the exercise they need. I have recently graduated from the Social Service Worker program at Mohawk College and hope to use my education to offer pet therapy in the future. I am more than happy to offer my services to your dogs (or cats). I can walk them, play with them, feed them, bathe them, house sit for you, clean up after them, brush them, administer medications, just to name a few. If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and who will treat your dogs (or cats) like family, then I hope you give me a chance! I am available for walks, drop ins, or just hanging out with your pet! I have availability every day, through the day, just let me know what you need! In my home, pets will be treated like family — they’ll have a safe, comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I follow their normal feeding and potty routines to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I make sure to keep their pets’ environment familiar and stress-free by sticking to their usual schedule. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, and plenty of companionship, while also respecting the home and leaving everything tidy. My goal is to make sure pets feel secure, happy, and cared for no matter where they are.

About: I grew up with two dogs when I was growing up and it helped to teach me with maintaining their routines, trying to reinforce positive behaviors, taking care of their medical needs and administering basic medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort early. I treat each pet like they are my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, along with updates so you always feel confident they’re in good hands. I strive to create a calm, consistent environment so dogs can thrive even while their owners are away. I'm currently working retail part time so I am flexible during the week and weekends. I usually have Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Can do weekends per request I can take care of your furbabies however you need if they require certain medications, feeding schedules, walking or litter cleaning schedules I am flexible to work around you and their needs.

About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: What makes me different is the extra care and attention I put into every pet I look after. I’m comfortable working with playful puppies who need training and patience, as well as older pets who may need a little extra love and support. I treat every animal like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats :) I am available on weekdays and Saturdays, making it easy to find a time that works for your schedule. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer sitting sessions, I can be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. I have a bug fenced in back yard and 2 friendly small dogs, I can watch your pets here or at your residence, whatever is preferred:)

About: I stand out as a pet sitter because I bring both lifelong experience and professional knowledge to every animal I care for. Having had cats my entire life, I understand their behaviors, needs, and personalities on a deep level, and I also had a dog growing up and have been taking care of dogs for years, so I’m very comfortable with their needs and routines as well. My work at a pet store has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and care practices. I’m confident providing attentive, specialized care for pets at every stage of life—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need extra patience and support. I also have experience administering most medications, ensuring pets stay healthy and safe while you’re away. Above all, my genuine love for animals means I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m a university student who recently experienced an unexpected change in my schedule, leaving me with more free time than I had planned. While I do have a part-time job, I’ve found myself wanting to stay more active and productive rather than feeling idle. That’s what drew me to an app like this—I’m excited to use my extra time in a meaningful way by helping others. Although my availability may vary at times, I’m eager to be as flexible and reliable as possible and look forward to supporting as many families as I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation, whether that’s walks, play sessions, or simply keeping them company. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and can provide extra support for senior pets, puppies, or kittens who may need more attentive care. In addition to caring for your pet, I keep your home clean, secure, and well-maintained so you can return with peace of mind knowing everything was handled responsibly.

I am beyond grateful for the incredible care Hillary provided to my two rescue dogs, Astrid and Rocco. These pups aren’t the easiest to look after—they come with a full set of challenges and sensitivities—but she handled everything with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. From the thorough pre-visit questions to the daily updates (complete with thoughtful notes and adorable photos), it was clear that Astrid and Rocco were in the best hands. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure both dogs felt safe and comfortable. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who truly understands and respects the unique needs of rescue animals!

Natalie was phenomenal with my dog, Lina over a 5 day house-sitting booking. She took the time to ask questions, and was attentive when learning about Lina's quirks and her daily routine. She'd always send multiple updates a day, pictures on walks and at meal times. My apartment was just as I left it when I returned. Would absolutely recommend her, she'll treat your dog like they're her own, and is super respectful when house sitting. Will definitely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Erie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Erie on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Erie. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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

Tip: 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 Fort Erie 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 Fort Erie 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, identity 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.

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.

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.

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.
