About: As a loving pet owner for over 50 years, I consider every pet a true member of the family and pride myself on providing a warm, nurturing environment where your dog will feel right at home. Since I am retired, pet care is my daily routine! I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your dog, ensuring they get constant companion ship, frequent potty, breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, your dogs safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a completely fenced in yard where they can safely stretch their legs and I love taking dogs on daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored entirely to their pace and energy level. Because I am a retired and home full-time. I follow their usual feeding schedule exactly, provide frequent potty breaks and give them free rein of the house. They are welcome as part of the family meaning plenty of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship all day long.

About: We have years of experience when it comes to dogs from puppies to our dear senior dogs. We love them all and are capable to take care of them. I have a Springer Spaniel which I need to take care of daily. She's needs lots of workouts as a high energy dog and I love it to exercise her. She is also a very big part of our family and needs lots of attention care and love. A pet in my home or a clients home will be taken care of like my own, they will get all the love they need in our scheduled time and also enough exercise to make them tired.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and treat every pup like family, providing safe, reliable care, fun walks, and lots of love while you’re away. I have a 1.5 year old mini goldendoodle who loves new friends and is friendly with other socialized dogs 🐾 I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and can provide morning, midday, and evening walks, weather permitting, while maintaining your dogs usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll follow their usual routine; provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, fresh water, and lots of cuddles and companionship. I only host one family’s dog at a time, alongside my friendly mini goldendoodle, Cooper, to ensure every pup receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care in a calm and safe environment.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for over 13 years, and I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs! From senior dogs requiring medication and caring for my own dog with epilepsy, to energetic pups needing patience and training, I’ve experienced it all. I’ve also adopted a formerly feral cat, helping her feel safe, comfortable, and loved, training her myself and teaching her to be an indoor cat. I’ve watched birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish as well. I truly believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and individual attention, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a full time student at Seneca College, working toward my degree in Behavioural Psychology! My classes alternate between Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but since they’re all online, I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available day or night, weekdays or weekends, and I’m always happy to help with last minute needs, holidays, emergencies, or simply giving your furry friend some extra love and attention when life gets busy! Your pets’ happiness and well being are always a priority to me! I believe every pet deserves a safe, loving, and enriching environment! My own cat, for example, is incredibly spoiled, with a filtered water fountain, a carefully varied diet of wet and dry food, multiple cozy beds, a toy bin, two cat trees, scratching posts, and even her own outdoor enclosure! I also love taking her on adventures with her leash and harness and would love to do the same with your kitty. For dogs, I love going on long walks, exploring new areas, and switching up routes to keep things exciting! I enjoy playing with pets both indoors and outdoors, working on training, and capturing lots of adorable photos along the way. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll always prioritize their safety, comfort, individual needs, and routines. My goal is to make every pet feel just as loved and spoiled as my own!

About: Hey! I’m a full time student who loves animals and knows firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’m currently offering cat and dog services to help support my studies, but because I know how expensive quality care can be (and because every pet deserves reliable care), I keep my rates as low as possible. I’m a full time student so you’ll have my availability as long as I’m not actively in a lecture. Luckily, lots of courses I’m taking are online! Using positive reinforcement, I tailor my services to the preferences of both the owners and the dogs, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's drop-in visits or dog walking, I consider your dog's energy level, the temperature of the day, and other factors to provide the best care. For example, on hot days, I bring dog friendly popsicles for the pups to enjoy (with prior approval of owner, with allergies in mind). My goal is not only to ensure your dog leaves happy but also well-exercised, content, and satisfied.

This is our second time using Amanda for our cats and she is just lovely. We have anti social cats I don't think she's ever even seen, though she did send me a picture of some eyeballs peeking at her from the stairs! Even though she doesn't get to see and pet the boys, she still comes over twice a day and makes them their Friskies soup and even leaves them little Temptations piles. Amanda is very sweet in person and we absolutely will be booking her again whenever we go away.

Elizabeth is great with my cat Dasher. She is reliable, takes great care of Dasher when I am away and is flexible when I need to make a last minute change. She’s been taking care of Dasher for the last couple of years and is my go-to for times I need to be away.

Morgan did a great job watching all of our fur babies for two weeks in our home. She dealt with the alarm system and one of our kitties that went postal on her. She was very reliable and caring. I would hire her again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fort Erie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Erie is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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.

There are 324 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Fort Erie. About 87% of Fort Erie 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
