“Jill is amazing! She is so good with our pups. I know they are in good hands with Jill when we are gone for the day. She is very professional and always leaves a detailed update for our dogs for each visit. So glad we have Jill close by. She is also a very nice, kindhearted person as well. 🐾”

About: I’ve always grown up with pets, and I have always loved caring for all animals. From friends to family, I’ve done it all in caring for them I can take of all pets during the days.

Even multiple times a day if needed, can take them to vet appointments, I’m free almost every morning since I work nights

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life....all ages and sizes! It's important to me that they feel safe and comfortable in my home. I work Part Time, and I am available for boarding Thursday- Sunday. My schedule is flexible and I can usually adjust to your scheduling needs. I have a fully fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own, for your pup to play with. I also have plenty of room for all crate sizes, if that is preferred.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.

This is my current role, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I enjoy music, nature, spending time outdoors, staying active & giving a whole lotta love! Activities include: Long walks in nature preserves, hiking destinations and public parks Visiting dog parks (for more social dogs) Playing a game of catch and frissbee (large fenced in backyard) Running, rollerblading, bike riding (especially for high energy dogs) Swimming in reservoirs, lakes and / or the beach (warm weather required) Making sure your dog stays on his / her routine that you've created is essential! I understand the importance of maintaining a healthy schedule for your pup to ensure their health and well being.

About: I have had my first dog since I was eleven years old, and I have had my second dog for two years. Since I have had experience with taking care of pets for so long, I am confident in my dog walking and sitting abilities. I also have experience with both smaller and bigger dogs with different energy levels because my older dog is a yorkie and my second dog is a Siberian Husky that my family rescued. Therefore, I understand the difference in pet personalities and how to handle them. I am currently employed, however, I am still available during most weekdays and weekends for dog/cat sitting and dog walking during the day and at night. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as I would want for my own. I am sure to give every pet attention, exercise, and adhere to the pet's usual routine.

“Seriously wish I could leave a 10 star review. From 1st contact Colleen C was a quick response and answered all our questions and concerns. We set up a meet and greet for our 3 girl dogs. Since our girls are larger pups and barky but completely friendly, I wanted to make sure Colleen was comfortable. From the minute she walked in for the meet and greet it was obvious that she loved dogs and was 100% comfortable with them. During Colleens drop in to let our girls outside for a potty break while we were out of State, she was so communicative and even sent us a video and photos of the dogs. We had no hesitation hiring Colleen. Highly recommend Colleen for care of your furry family members.”

About: Hi, I’m Abby! 🐾 I’ve cared for animals through 4-H and pet sitting alongside my mom, and I’m now starting my own pet care business. I love all animals—furry, scaly, and feathery! From cats and dogs to birds, reptiles, and small animals, I provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’ll treat your animals like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away!

Now, I’m able to make caring for animals a part of my everyday life! My days and weeks are filled with caring for pets, giving them love and attention, keeping up with their routines, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their families are away. I love that my work allows me to meet new animals and build special bonds with each one. 💕 I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own! 🏡💕 I’m happy to bring in mail, keep things tidy, follow any house routines, and make sure everything is safe and secure. I don’t mind sleeping over and staying with your pets, especially if they’re more comfortable having someone around. My goal is to leave your home just as I found it while making sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for! 🐾

I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.

We had such a wonderful experience with Alayna! She took amazing care of our 15 week old corgi, paid close attention to his routine and individual needs, and made sure he was happy and well cared for. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, and we could tell our pup was genuinely loved and cared for. I really appreciated that we were able to do a meet and greet before Alaya dog sat. We would absolutely trust her with him again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Erma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 492 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Erma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Erma. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
