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 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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping neighbours, friends, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care is naturally part of my routine. I can set aside time each day for feeding, walks, and play to ensure pets stay healthy, active, and well cared for. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many different breeds since I was a teenager for family, friends and neighbours, as well as owning dogs and cats my entire life. I have been volunteering with a dog rescue for 6 years now. I currently own a 12.5 year old dog named Faith. She is a shepherd/Norwegian Elkhound. 103 lbs. I am working from home currently but I am looking for a new adventure. As long as I have at least 2 days notice, I should be able to make things work. I will come to your home where your pet feels more comfortable and I will follow the rules you lay out for me regarding routines. If you need me for overnight service that is fine.

I have been in the hospital with my service dog. Holly has been able to make time in her schedule to drop by throughout the day to walk my service dog and give a potty break. She also reminds me if I have given her food and meds. She makes detailed notes on changes in behaviour. My dog developed runny poops. Since Holly was on the ball and reported it to me, I was able to get medication before the long weekend. All is well.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. The dogs I watch, walk, and visit, become my family. I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs that have anxiety about thunder and fireworks, and dogs that have medical regimes. I am attuned to the need for dogs to be engaged through walks, play, and games, while also enjoying their rest. I am Pet First Aid Certified through St. John's Ambulance, with hands on training in dog CPR and other treatments. I look forward to introducing myself and meeting you and your dog(s) during a free meet and greet. My work allows for a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can be available for all of your pet care needs, regardless of timing. My elderly puppies need a predictable environment, so I prefer to stay at your home when caring for your pet(s). I will review your expectations regarding your home, the yard, and the immediate neighbourhood during our free meet and greet. I also offer additional services inside or outside of your home, if you are interested.

About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have pet-sat for friends, neighbours and family. I am able to accommodate puppies and senior animals. Brushing and bathing are negotiable. I do not groom. My schedule is flexible. I can normally accommodate you with a bit of notice. Usually, any time after 9:00 is fine. I'm currently on leave from home support work due to injury as my job requires heavy lifting. Unless your yard is fenced, I insist on leashing. The field behind my home is great for walks but not fenced. My big dog loves to play with dogs but she can be placed in a separate room. I have a pen for pups or small dogs. Your dog(s) will get cuddles and play. I have a quiet room for shy cats, but your cat(s) can socialize with my 2 cats. My animals are all fixed. I can take exotic pets in your enclosure. My pen will give ample room to guinea pigs or rabbits. I can't separate small pet genders so please confirm in advance or bring your own cage.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and know how much they brighten a day. Whether it’s walks, play, or just company, I make sure they’re cared for and happy. Being a student gives me the flexibility to fit into your pup’s routine and keep things easy for both of you. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Fridays, most of Wednesday during the day, and weekends too. That makes it easy for me to fit in regular walks or quick check-ins when you need them. I take walks seriously and always put safety first, whether that means sticking to familiar routes, keeping a close eye on traffic, or matching your dog’s pace and energy. I’ll follow any instructions you give so you know your pup is in good hands.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fort Erie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 346 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Fort Erie. About 89% 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.

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 Fort Erie 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 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 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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
