“We were very happy with Jax’s stay with Margaret. It was his first time away from home. He was happy and well taken care of. Margaret has a lot of experience and knowledge about dogs. We will be using her services again!”
“Harley’s stay with Beth was outstanding! She was very attentive as I talked about Harley’s food needs, the obedience we are working on and my overall concerns. Harley is only 6 months old and while he has been to doggie day care, he never stayed overnight with anyone other than us. Beth was very careful to introduce the other dogs to Harley and we could not have been more pleased. I recommended Beth to my sister in law who lives in Erie. We will definitely try Rover again with our travels. Thanks.”
“Our pups really enjoyed their stay- and we really enjoyed getting photo/video updates throughout the stay! Debbie and Eddie couldn’t have been nicer and really helped us out by watching our two on such short notice! Will definitely be using them again!!”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She takes amazing care of my fur babies which includes taking them on lots of walks, which they love. She really helped me out when I was in a bind and was able to take my fur baby overnight with very short notice. I am so thankful to have found her!”
“Jodie was awesome in taking care of our two labs. We moved to Colorado last year and was looking for someone to care for our labs. One of our pups is older, nervous, and has never been watched by someone other than family. Both of our pups did great! I highly recommend Jodie.”
“We were coming in from out of town and we were in a crunch to get a sitter for our dog, and we're so glad we found Stephanie! She took such good care of our dog and was incredibly responsive and communicative at every point of the process. We'll definitely book with her every time we're in Erie!”
“We were nervous to leave Harper. He had only been boarded with friends he knew. But Stephanie was great!!! She sent us pictures and videos and Harper loved it there. We would have Stephanie watch Harper again for sure!!!! We highly recommend her!”
“This was Wynnie’s second stay with Mary and we are just so grateful for her. It is so comforting know we are leaving our pup in great hands and she gets first class treatment while we are away. We really appreciate that Mary sends us pictures and updates each day. We really can’t say enough great things about Mary! Wynnie can’t wait for her next stay! Thank again Mary!”
“This is the second time that Keely has kept Russ for us and we are so pleased with her care. She walks him and sends me pics everyday of their adventures. We will definitely be using Keely in the future!”

About: I’ve spent the past several years working hands-on as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, and I truly love what I do. In the clinic, I’ve helped care for pets of all ages and temperaments, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during what can sometimes be stressful visits. As a trainer, I focus on building trust and clear communication between dogs and their owners, using patience and positive reinforcement to create lasting results. Whether I’m assisting in medical care or helping shape better behavior, my goal is always the same—happy, healthy pets and confident, informed owners who feel supported every step of the way. I’m currently working part time and home with my children 4 days a week and when I’m at my part time job I’m only there till 12pm. So I will have lots of time to spoil your fur babies with all the love and attention! I have worked in the veterinary field for over 7 years and currently working as a dog trainer part time your pets will always be properly taken care of and looked after with lots of play time and walks! If boarded in my home if I am not with them I would have them in a crate for rest times if not crate trained we can figure something out always open to help your pets feel the comfort of home away from home!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. My father used to train dogs so I’ve adopted these skills as my own by being very patient and nurturing with each animal I have the privilege of working with! I’m currently working part-time so I am available to care for your beloved pet just like one of my own. Looking forward to meeting more furry friend! I have an unfenced yard, but I do have a run line that I can utilize. I have a tie out in the front of my house as well and frequently take walks in my neighborhood. I can easily crate your pet if needed.
“First time using this service Erik was very welcoming to my dog Sadie he had other dogs for mine to play with very nice clean house my dog was happy at drop off and happy at pick up . I highly recommend Erik for this service. Thanks again .”
About: Hey, my name is Delaney. I am a college student attending Gannon University. I love animals and would have many of my own if was available 24 seven. However, since I am not, I would love to help take care of your pets! I am a full-time student and play a sport. However, I am free every night and my classes are very spread out. So I have lots of time to be at home taking care of everything. We don’t have any pets on the property. And there is a nice yard that is not fenced in, but when the pets are outside, I will be with them. I have a lot of space in the house and there is a park nearby for walks or fetch.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Akerly home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Akerly.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Akerly sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
