“Danielle was always timely and very patient with my older cat and giving him his meds (even though he doesn’t want to take them sometimes). I know I can rely on her to watch after them and play with them while I’m gone!”
“Sara took wonderful care of our cats! She went above and beyond to make friends with our cat who is weary of strangers. She was communicative, prompt, and extremely kind! Will definitely be using her again for future cat sitting.”
“Ollie was (and is) an amazing sitter! They’re extremely professional and show genuine care for the service they provide. I was provided with multiple updates about my babies and I would 1001% recommend them to anyone in need of a sitter.”
About: I have 10 years experience working with dogs. I tailor my care to your pet's specific needs and likes, creating an environment that feels safe and comfortable while you are away. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends upon request. I live in the West Gunbarrel area and serve Gunbarrel and Boulder. I love working with Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folxs. I pay close attention when leashing dogs for walks, making sure they are comfortable before going out with them. I have treats on hand and provide structured playtime.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in the household. My priority is care and love for your furry friends! When I see dogs in public, I want to pet them all day :) Currently unemployed and looking for a full-time job. My schedule is flexible and open most days of the week. Any time of day usually works for me. I like to gain a sense of trust at first between me and dogs(holding my hand out to sniff, pets if warranted, etc); Steer away from other dogs in public if mine gets aggressive; always conscious of surroundings; Dogs brighten my day every time I see one!
About: Hi there! I’m excited to welcome your pup into our home! I work full-time Monday through Friday as an environmental consultant, and I offer weekend boarding (Friday–Sunday) and weekend house sitting. My partner, Cait, and I share a love for animals and enjoy providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every dog in our care. We live in a cozy, pet-free and kid-free condo, making our home a great option for dogs who thrive in a quieter, more relaxed setting. We also lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors! Whether your pup enjoys long walks, exploring new places, or tagging along on adventures, we’d love to include them whenever appropriate. A little about our availability: I primarily offer boarding Friday through Sunday. For Friday morning drop-offs, Cait is available to come home during her lunch break for a potty break, and I’ll be home after 5pm to spend the rest of the weekend with your pup. Our goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. We look forward to meeting you! 🐶❤️ I mainly offer weekend boarding or house-sitting to make sure your pets have plenty of care and attention throughout their stay. Our weekends are flexible, allowing us to tailor our routine to each dog's individual needs. Safety and trust are my top values, and I don’t take it lightly when someone entrusts me with a pet who is so special and important to them. I care for them, like they were my own. I maintain a clean, secure environment and supervise pets closely while they’re in my care. I’m attentive to behavior cues, comfort levels, and any signs of stress, and I adjust care as needed. I communicate openly and consistently with owners so they feel confident their pet is well cared for.
“Bridgett did a fabulous job watching our 2 cats while we traveled out of state. She was very friendly and thorough, taking detailed notes regarding their care and sending updates and pics every day. She also kept the kitchen and litter boxes super clean. Our cats took to her quickly and we would happily book with her again!”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, as well as other animals like horses, poultry, cows, goats, sheep, etc. I look forward to getting to know your pet and helping you to make life a little easier. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so can make most schedules work, and nearly all schedules work with at least a little notice. I have a sweet medium sized dog named Missy who gets along with most dogs and loves to play, but cannot have cats in my home with her. We have a small, but well fenced in (6 foot wooden) back yard and dog door for easy in and out. There is a park just a couple of blocks away, and the neighborhood is great for dog walks.
“She’s absolutely amazing. My dog is very caution of people and within 15 minutes he was by her side letting her pet his face. She gives plenty of photos and makes me feel so comfortable knowing my dogs are well taken care of!”
“Ariane was great with both of my kitties! She showed up consistently and sent pictures after each visit. She followed all of the instructions I left and reached out for clarification as needed, which I really appreciated. I hope she will be available when I take my next trip out of town! Thank you, Ariane!”
“Ben came by for a meet and greet and was friendly and communicated well. He then stayed in my home with my cat while I was traveling. He got along well with my cat and was responsive and communicated well while I was away. My home was clean when I returned (he also had cleaned the sheets and towels he used) I could barely tell he had been there other than coming home to a calm and cared for cat and plants. He was thoughtful and asked good questions to do the job well and to utilize my home respectfully. I would have him house and pet sit again. He kept up with my cat’s medications (pills), wet food feeding schedule, and treats.”
About: I have loved taking care of pets since I was a child. I have pet sat for cats and dogs and it is always so much fun being around some sweet animals. My dog at home LOVES other dogs but at this time it would not be wise to get her a brother or sister because she has a human brother who is 9 months old! So, I have decided to start caring for other people’s pets because I don’t have to pay for other people’s pets vet bills 😅 If your dog is friendly and can be around the family.. GREAT if not, you can book something at your house and I am always open to drop ins. We can always make it work! I am currently working VERY part time and someone is home all day every day of the week. I have a wonderful partner and we have a baby and are trying to make some extra cash by opening our home to some pups that need some attention/a place to call home until their owners get back. At my home I live with my partner, my dog and my infant son so any friendly and well trained dogs are welcome to stay with us! At your home on certain days I CAN come to do drop ins but at least my son will need to tag along if it is more than just a morning and evening visit.
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!
“Juan was amazing with my cats! He was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos every day. He clearly cares about animals. He went above and beyond and was respectful of my home. My cats loved him, and I’ll definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from other family members. I also work as a caregiver, so I’ve had clients with pets that needed help taking care of them. I have experience with large to medium dogs, but mostly small dogs from puppyhood and up. And if you have a pet that has a strict diet you’ll be happy to know I am immune to their deceptions. I do have some experience with dog sitting overnight and I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time so I can work around my schedule and check on pets after a shift. I’m free two days straight on weekends l so I can stay overnight if needed if you want a weekend getaway without worrying about your fur babies. I’d just have to discuss scheduling details with you so everything goes smoothly. The first thing I’ll do is look for any possible ways your dog may get out and secure them so the won’t be able to get out. I’d also try to double secure a leash in the event of one clasp breaking, the other will keep your pet secure.
“Diana took great care of my cat, Bigfoot, while I was away from home. She was attentive, reliable, and made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Erie
Excellent. Jessica sent a photo every day and kept our cat Jasmine comfortable and well. An unexpected turn in the weather (cold snap), that would have left our 17 year old cat shivering, was handled by Jessica by figuring out (without any instructions left by us) how to turn on our furnace. We highly recommend Jessica as sitter! Thank you, Jessica!
Brittany is amazing!! She took care of our three kitties while we were out of town. She sent such great updates and lots of photos. We knew our cats were in good hands so we were able to enjoy our vacation! Brittany went above and beyond loving on our kitties and making sure they had attention. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Erie is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,048 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Erie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Erie. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
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.
