“Adriana is wonderful. I’m so glad we found her. Having her come by the house to check on our boys has been such a relief and a game changer. I can tell by her pictures that the cats really do love her. They don’t let just anybody pet them!”
“Communicative and reliable! Did great handling our rather complicated dog! Was able to take her on walks even though she can have behavioral issues and gave her meds without issue! Great trustworthy drop in sitter, would love to use his services again!”
“What a huge help! Emelia was great about communicating, sharing updates and pictures, giving medications, and cleaning up litter. We felt confident she was taking great care of cat! Thank you so much!!”
“Emily was absolutely AMAZING with Gracie while we were in Florida visiting family. I truly cannot say enough good things about her. She worked her butt off and went above and beyond every single day to make sure Gracie was happy, cared for, and loved. Leaving your dog behind is never easy—especially when you adore them the way we adore Gracie—but Emily gave us complete peace of mind. She was attentive, responsible, communicative, and so sweet with her. It was clear she genuinely cared. We came home to a happy pup, and that means everything to us. I am so, so grateful for the effort and heart she put into caring for our girl. I would trust her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've had all type of pets my whole life. I've had really energetic dogs and also really calm emotional ones. I often like to take out my dog on a long walk then cuddle up with my cat and read or watch tv. I currently work part-time and mostly work evenings so daytime and morning walks work for me on any day. I am completely free Sunday through Tuesday for overnight stay and at home visits. I'm ready for any instructions you have to help me care for your dog or cat. I'm ready for any type of visit.
“Erika and I never met in person, but I was never worried about her being at my home with my pets! She communicates and takes care of pets very well. She was always very sweet and she was in too of her things on her end with modifying schedules when needed. You should book her!”
About: There’s nothing better than fresh air, open skies, and a wagging tail beside me. I focus on creating calm, enjoyable walks where dogs can explore, exercise, and feel completely cared for. You can expect thoughtful attention, lots of encouragement, and walks how you like them - whether that’s a pup who needs to stay close and away from everyone to letting your social dog say hi to everyone. I live in Erie and work from home. My job is flexible and I work east coast hours - so I’m up early and get off early. This means I’m more flexible to your needs. I know every animal has their own needs and I’m here to listen to yours. I hope to meet your four legged family member soon!
“Denisa is awesome! Great communication and availability. She def went well beyond our expectations. Our young puppy had a great time with her and is already looking forward to her next visit!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, making sure they’re fed, walked, and comfortable while their families are away. I’ve cleaned litter boxes, washed bedding, and kept up with daily routines so pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or a long walk, I try to give each pet the same attention and care they’d get at home. I’m a teacher with summers off, so my schedule is wide open. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and for last-minute bookings while you’re on vacation or away from home. In the fall, I can do evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own. In a client’s home, I follow your routines closely to help your pet feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, clean spaces, and plenty of attention. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes to keep pets secure and never leave them unattended on walks. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Diana was great with Daisy, making sure she got a potty break in the evening, when we were away until almost midnight. I really appreciated the flexibility for a last-minute booking -- helped us out a lot!!!”
“Great experience! Cats love Nicole and she was very good with them. Low maintenance cats but peace of mind for us knowing that Nicole was watching them. Appreciate her bringing in packages from Amazon.”
“Rachael was amazing with our Leo and he was extremely happy when we returned. She was very responsive and sent us the cutest photos. We would absolutely love to book with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family and house since I was born, so taking care of dogs comes naturally to me. Throughout high school, I was known to be the dog walker and watcher of the neighborhood. I would watch dogs for weeks or even just check in once and awhile for a walk. I continue to take care of my own dogs when my parents are away and even on a daily basis. What makes me stand out is that I have a genuine love for animals and I’m very reliable. I also specialize in anxious, hyper and even older dogs. My dog is very anxious and old so I know how to meet their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to taking care of whatever a dog needs to feel comfortable. I’m currently out of school for the months of June and July. I have no schedule and I’m free most of the days. I would like to use these days to take care and visit your loved animal. I provide care in my clients home where I can keep a pets routine normal and comfortable. I don’t offer boarding in my own home
“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Erie
Danielle was such an amazing help to us for some fairly last minute requests. She was always on time, went above and beyond to help our very anxious dog feel safe while we were away including hand feeding her, gave puppies medications no problem and spent lots of play time with them. She was very communicative and professional from start to end. We would recommend Danielle to anyone and will be booking her again!
Jessica was wonderful with our two elderly dogs! We were a bit concerned about leaving them for the weekend because they do have accidents due to age and one of our dogs has difficulty navigating our house. Jessica came over for a meet and greet before watching our boys, she was so kind and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Jessica provided regular updates to let us know our doggies were doing okay. She made sure to give them some extra love and attention and made sure they got outside. We came home to our house just as we left it and we really appreciate her flexibility regarding the older dog's accidents.
Brittany was wonderful to work with. She took her time taking care of our dog and cat. We also received updates and cute pictures everyday while we were on vacation. We were happy that she took the time to walk our dog everyday, and spent some time outside with our cat even though we did not expect her to do either. They were very happy and content boys when we home! Thank you!
Alex is fantastic! She swooped in after we made a last minute request and made us and (most importantly) our dogs feel so comfortable. She’s clearly a huge animal person and has that special combination of caring and competence that’s needed, especially with puppy. She’s a great communicator and sent the best photos. We’ll definitely be working with Alex again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Erie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Erie 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Erie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 96% 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 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.
