“Hanna has sit for our dogs twice now and she is lovely, responsive, and communicative. We appreciate knowing that our dogs are in good hands and will use her again for our next trip”
“Megan was an outstanding dog-cat-house sitter. She kept our dog and cat happy and safe over a 4 day period. She was a respectful and considerate guest in our home, leaving everything meticulously clean and in its place! We received wonderful pictures and updates of what our pets were up to. You can tell that Megan has a kind heart in the way she treats animals and people. I would absolutely rebook her the next time we have a need and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Kayla, as always, took great care of our pups. They are always excited to see her and go on walks with her. I forgot to leave supplements out and Kayla checked in with me to see if they were still taking them.”
“Nicole took great care of our two dogs for the past week. She sent us updates often and we could tell that our dogs were very happy with her. She was very sweet, thoughtful and reliable and we would love to use her again. Thank you so very much!”
“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!”
About: I've raised and trained my 8-year old Aussie, Bernie since he was a little guy. He's a very sweet and loving boy. For as long as I can remember, I've loved dogs. I decided to sign up for Rover to be around them more.🐕🤗 Over the years, I've watched dogs for friends and love to run with them in the park. I promise to help train them, engage them in physical play and teach them how to be a good running partner. I love running and trail running almost as much as I love our furry friends. If your looking for someone to help get your dog in physical shape and to teach them the ways of the park, I'm your guy! 🐕🏃 I currently work from home and run a small Turo business on the side. This allows me to be home most hours of the day. I spend a lot of time with my pup and plan to do the same with yours! My dog, Bernie, is a very good protector of the house and loves other dogs. When at dog parks, he plays sheriff and tends to break up fights, especially when the little guys get picked on. I'm not sure where he picked up this job but he takes it very seriously. 🚓 In addition, he'll keep your dog company whenever I'm not able to be home. In general, I take the safety of our furry friends very seriously and so does Bernie! 🤗
“Kelly was great! I was really nervous leaving Montana, having not really done that outside of boarding her. Kelly communicated when she got there, sent pictures and followed up to make sure I got home ok. The house was clean and well cared for. Will absolutely recommend Kelly and plan to use her on future trips. It was a great peace of mind knowing Montana was well cared for.”
“Jenna was amazing! she was very attentive to my dogs… I had a senior dog, make a turn for the worse while I was gone, and Jenna went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable, even taking her to the vet. I appreciate everything Jenna did to ensure my dogs were safe and happy while I was gone. Any dog or family would be lucky to have her.”
“Maja sent regular updates and took great care of my big, energetic dogs. She left our house in great shape. Was so nice to come home to happy dogs and a clean house!”
“Jacob did great with our dog and cat! He was communicative and flexible, met our dog beforehand, and spent a lot of time with our animals. Our dog developed a limp the day before we left for our trip and Jacob was happy to follow the ver instructions and administer pills. He sent updates and photos each day. We would absolutely have Jacob care for our pets again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! Nikki was incredibly communicative from start to finish, providing regular updates that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for our dog — he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we returned. On top of that, she left our home spotless and tidy, which we truly appreciated after traveling. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter!”
“Jamie was amazing! Very sweet to my pup, sent lots of pics, took good care of my home & checked in afterwards to make sure flights weren’t to make sure she needed to stay and get my pup more exercise. Clear communication, respectful and responsible caretaker. Would definitely use Jamie again.”
“Excellent care of our pets. We came home to happy pets. Lila went above and beyond, staying up late caring for our Maggie during fireworks and a severe thunderstorm. We will gladly book again.”
“Elyse took wonderful care of our cats and our home during our week away. She kept us informed about them, and went the extra mile when cleaning up one kitty accident. Our home was left completely tidy as when we departed, and the cats were happy and relaxed upon our return. We are keeping up with the tricks she taught them! Her love of animals really shows, and we'll absolutely book her again for our next trip away.”
“Almost don’t want to leave a great review because we’ve struck gold and want to keep Mary to ourselves!! She went above and beyond in every aspect and clearly cares so deeply for animals. Trustworthy, responsive, kind + left the house even cleaner than we left it. Our very anxious pups were calmer than we’ve seen them in a long time. Speaks worlds to how great she is. 10/10!!”

Suzanna was amazing, such a wonderful sitter for my coonhound Penny. She gave Penny so much love and attention and updated me with cute pictures and videos. Her family was all very sweet and I felt like they were so wonderful for my dog. Absolutely would recommend Suzanna for your pet sitting needs!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Erie is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $84 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 9,236 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
