“This is the second time Annabeth has watched our rescue pets. We have 5 so we know that can be a lot and all have unique personalities/needs so it is helpful to have hired someone who understands and can be patient with our pets. We see Annabeth as family.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean could not have been more professional. He was highly communicative, sent pictures, and took care of my pets and my home in a very respectful way. Will definitely book him again.”
“Max has been so happy to have Bethany stay with while I'm on vacation. He's a spoiled boy when she's around, that's for sure! He gets so many walks and adventures and attention and I come home to happy dog and a clean house. I will absolutely use Bethany again next time we're in town!!”
“Christina did great with my 3 pups while we were on vacation. Our trio is not only energetic, but have dietary restrictions and she was amazing our whole week. We would absolutely trust her with our fur children again!”
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
“Dawn is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! We are so happy to have found her and can’t wait to have her visit our baby in the future. ? She texted photos throughout the day and kept us up to date along the way. Thank you for loving our dog like your own!”
“Emily is great! Her calm demeanor was great for our dogs and cats. She truly cared for the wellbeing of our pets, especially our little codependent one, Susie. 😊 Highly recommend!”
“Lux was an incredible sitter for our three babies. He was very communicative the entire time we were away, which was huge for me, and exceeded all other expectations as well. I can’t recommend him enough!”
About: From furry tails to scaly fellows, I love them all! I have been taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes and species for over 10+ years I do have experience with senior dogs. I did work at a vet clinic for some time so I know what to look for or do incase of an Emergency. **for the time being I will be keeping prices low to build clientele after that I will notify you of the price change before it happens *** Pet care is my full time job as of now. I was working for a high volume vet clinic and learned so much! But now im just full time pet care All of my animals are friendly, I do have a small fenced yard where the dogs can enjoy some morning sun, or we can walk to the park and enjoy all the sights! If dogs need any nail trimming or a bath please let me know. (Must be okay to handle without sedation for any grooming)
“Levi was great! My dog, Bella seemed to warm up to him immediately during our meet and greet which helped ease my anxiety as I was leaving the country for 10 days! He was great with communication and I will definitely use Levi again!”
About: - Vet Assistant at Hebron Animal Hospital - Medical Extern at Peformance Equine Vet Services - Petting Zoo Attendant at Kinman Farms - Off and on petting sitting for family and friends over the past several years I am currently home from college for the summer and have plenty of time to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have.

“Danielle and her family are amazing! They were so kind and just real. They obviously love dogs and their house was perfect for Patton to stay at for a few days! He got loved on by the adults & the kids and had fun playing with some new 4-legged friends too. We felt very comfortable leaving Patton there and weren’t worried about him at all because Danielle sent lots of pictures. We will definitely be reaching out for future stays!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Erlanger
Destiny was great staying with our two dogs and two cats, one of the cats recently started living with us after my father passed away, so she is a nervous cat with all the changes. She worked around our pets' schedule, sent updates and pictures, and let us know when she was leaving. One of my cats got a little sore under his eye while we were gone. Destiny sent us a pic, asking if this was common and treated him with ointment after we spoke. When we came home, everything looked like we left it and our pets were happy and healthy. Will definitely book Destiny again.
We had a wonderful experience with Kat! She stayed at our home for a week and took great care of our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure our pets were happy and comfortable while we were away. Kat went above and beyond when our Chukit broke during her stay. She even purchased a replacement so the dogs could continue enjoying one of their favorite activities. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs. I will absolutely book with her again when we go out of town in the future.
Kristen was wonderful housesitting and caring for our senior dog whose food/med routine has gotten a bit complex in recent months. She did everything we needed to be sure our girl was well cared for, cared about the details to be sure Luna was as comfortable and happy as possible, and communicated well with any questions or concerns. Would love to have her take care of Luna again!
Nia was exceptional. It was the weekend of the big snow & ice storm and she handled everything flawlessly. She took get care of Shadow and all the unusual circumstances resulting from the storm. I couldn’t be more pleased with her performance and I highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Erlanger
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Erlanger on Rover is $38.85 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 1,310 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Erlanger. 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 Erlanger 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 Erlanger 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 Erlanger 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.
