“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Teresa is a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious pet sitter (translation - she is the Mary Poppins for pets)! She came to our AirB&B to watch our 15 month old puppy so we could go out for the evening. Not only did she take great care of our pup (including gifting him a toy he loves), she also helped with his training by coaching him down the stairs. Our pup and our backs thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Whether it’s a long walk, a quick drop-in, or cuddles and feeding time, I treat every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and cared for while you’re in need Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I start most mornings with a workout or walk, so adding pet walks or drop-ins during the day fits perfectly. My work schedule is flexible, which allows me to check in on pets throughout the day and evening. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines closely feeding schedules, walk routes, and house rules to make sure your pet feels secure and stress free. I take time to earn their trust with calm energy, patience, and plenty of affection.
“We felt really good about leaving our home and pets in the care of Brenna when we went away for the weekend. She did a great job and our 3 cats, dog and fish were all happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend her!”
“Sarah did an excellent job house/pet sitting us! She is very responsible and communicates well. It was nice getting surprise photos as well!! We definitely recommend her and would gladly use her again...”
“Ericka was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was great with our pup and left our house in great shape after staying with him for the weekend. If our dog could talk I’m sure he would give her a rave review as well!”
“Paul was great! He arrived on time, communicated throughout the weekend, and took wonderful care of my two dogs. The dogs were very happy, well cared for, and enjoyed lots of play time. I look forward to using him again in the near future!”
“Taylor was amazing. I went away for the weekend and have literally never left my dog without anyone but family before. I was so nervous. But Taylor came over for a meet and great before and gave me complete confidence. I was able to enjoy my weekend without worrying about my dog or what was going on at home. She even got my pup out of the apartment when the fire alarm suddenly went off! So sad she is leaving the area after graduation or I would definitely book her again!”
“Brady was fantastic. He communicated with us throughout our entire trip letting us know how Holly was doing and making she we knew she was happy and well cared for. He took care of and respected our home. We would not hesitate to have him back!”
“Chelsea was awesome. Our cat who hides from ALL visitors was sitting in her lap being petted in a few days. Our dog is also a challenge and Chelsea was great with her. Helped her in thunderstorms and fireworks. Our house was in great shape when we returned. I will definitely use Chelsea again.”
“This is the second time Jenni has house sit for me to take care of my four pets. She’s the absolute best was in contact with on how the pets were doing the whole time I was gone even sending pics showing how well they were doing. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have 4 little dogs that I’ve helped to take care of since I was little! This includes being left at home for full weekends making sure they are fed, medicated, let outside, and of course loved! I also have some experience with taking care of cats although I’ve only ever had barn cats. There are a few weeks during the summer that I wouldn’t be able to do. These would be June 1st, June 22-June 26, June 29-July 10, and July 13-July 24. Other than that I can start as soon as May 25! I’m very friendly with animals and would be fine with feeding, walking, bathing, medicating, etc. All I ask for is detailed instructions of what to do!
“Evangelene was super communicative and sent tons of photos of our dog while we were gone. She did great giving his meds and managing his little anxieties around the house and on walks. We would definitely book with her again.”

Karen was amazing! Every picture she sent you could see the dogs just happy as can be. She stayed at our house and the pictures that she took with them snuggling with her in bed were just priceless. I will definitely recommend Karen to any and all of my friends!
Chelsea stayed in my home with my two senior cats and senior dog for two nights and was a dream! She was very communicative, sent great updates, treated my furbabies like they were her own, and left my home in great shape. I so appreciated her care and effort for my pets and I definitely recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll certainly be booking Chelsea again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ercildoun
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,505 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ercildoun. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Ercildoun walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ercildoun 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!
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 Ercildoun 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!
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
