“Hanna took good care of our cat and our home while we were away for a few days. Our kitty seemed to love her, she texted lots of photos, and the house was clean when we arrived home.”
About: I’ve been privileged to have dogs be apart of my entire life. From having them as pets, caring for others, and volunteering for multiple shelters over the years, dogs have been a priority for me. I have deep respect for routines and instructions, can work with new born to seniors (who are just babies really), and will give them the love and attention they deserve. I am currently working on aspects of my education and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. I have minimal travel plans, so would be interested in a one time walk to a long term sit, and everything in between. I have reliable transportation and I’m allergic to being late. Communication and following instructions is top priority for me, so you will never wonder how your wonderful companion is doing. When caring for pets in your home my priorities include respecting your property, your instructions, and your animals needs. Schedules are followed to a T and communication including updates and pictures if wanted! Something I really pride myself on is being able to adapt and match the energy your animal needs. From extremely anxious to very extroverted, I can easily find the pace they are most comfortable with to reduce stress, build trust, and give them the love needed while you are busy!
“Sarah was amazing with my boy! He’s an older dog and when I had a sudden work trip come up, Sarah was able to jump in and care for him like her own. She communicates very well and I really appreciated the daily photos and follow up while I was away. Sarah is a ln absolute gem.”
“Dani was fantastic! Communicative before and during her stay, provided updates about how our pup was doing (he's a puppy and this was our first time away from him), and sent photos. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Stephanie and Dominic are amazing sitters! Highly recommended! They provide loving care to our greyhounds while we are away including affection, feedings and playtime. They are kind, punctual, flexible and great listeners and communicators. Our dogs love and trust them and so do we.”
“Sasha was prompt and professional. Proving regular updates, putting my worried mind to rest. It is never easy leaving your pups behind, but they were in good hands with Sasha.”
“Jessica stayed at our home for two nights to house sit our 2 year old, extremely demanding, puppy. Jessica takes great care of our home and our puppy. This booking required giving our pup medication via a special method and it was no problem. Jessica is fantastic. We really appreciate the care she provides and we return to a happy puppy.”
“Lauren is wonderful with my dogs and house sitting. She is quick to respond and loves them like I do. Both dogs seem well rested and content when I return home. I will use her again.”
“Marcos took care of our Frenchie and was an excellent communicator. He sent pics & updates frequently. He stayed in our home and left everything in pristine condition. Highly recommend him!”
“After losing a local sitter last minute for a trip, Alex was able to watch over our pups. She seemed very attentive, responsive and communicative throughout our trip. We came home to a clean house and happy pups. We hope to use her services in the future.”
“Matt was absolutely fantastic! He took excellent care of my pup and my home. Frannie had such a great time going on walks, getting lots of pets and loving, and snacking on some tasty treats. I will absolutely be booking again with Matt in the future.”
About: I will give endless love to your animals. I really enjoy researching animal body language so that I can ensure the animals comfort! I am mostly a home body so I can spend lots of time with your animals. I’ve always been a big animal lover and I love meeting new animals and learning about their unique personalities!! I also have experience giving pets medications or special meals. I’m a self employed artist so I make my own schedule and have the freedom to spend lots of time with your pets. I can easily adapt to any pets schedule, whether they are waking me up at 5am, or if they need constant love and attention. I will keep your fur babies company as much as possible, I really love animals and the positive energy they bring to an environment. I will often try to leave your space cleaner than how I found it, if I can find the right tools in your home! I like to build trust between myself and the animals, and myself and the pawrents.
“Saliha did an amazing job taking care of our cats. She is detail oriented, communicative, and flexible. I can tell that she really loves animals and treats the pets she watches as her own. She sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated. She followed all the instructions we gave her and did even more. I was nervous to leave our cats, as we had just moved, but she helped our cats feel comfortable immediately. Saliha also helped take out moving boxes which was so kind and unexpected!! I would definitely recommend Saliha to other pet owners, especially if you have a shy cat who is picky about who they like!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Erie
I wish I could give Ryder more than 5 stars. He took great care of my 2 dogs and cat, as well as my son’s dog, who was here for the summer. He sent pictures and texts several times a day as well, so I always knew how everything was going. Great communication! I highly recommend him as a housesitter and pet sitter!
I usually rely on family for dog sitting, so letting someone new stay at my house was a big step for me—but Adriana completely erased any anxiety. She came over before the stay for a meet-and-greet, and my dogs took to her instantly! Having her stay at my place was such a relief; she kept me posted with tons of updates and pictures the whole time. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again and couldn't recommend her enough!
Liliana took such good care of our dogs, Roo and Vader! She was very responsive and friendly. She had great attention to detail and always asked us questions when needed. We know that our pups felt safe and cared for as their demeanor was calm and happy when we returned. We will most certainly consider Liliana for future bookings!
Barqs had the absolute best time with Ariel! She took him on multiple walks, and every excursion was like his own mini field trip. She kept me updated with messages and photos the entire time and my fuzzy buddy had the biggest smile in each captured moment. Ariel has a calming presence that helped put my anxious pup at ease. We will definitely be using her services again!
Kelsey was very personable and came over a couple of times to get to know our husky Zeek. We left town for 4 days knowing he was in good hands. She even sent us a photo every day! We were very pleased with Kelsey and would look forward to having her in our home again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Erie on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Erie. 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 Erie 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 Erie 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 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!
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
