“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!”
“Mackenzie did a wonderful job house sitting for our two dogs. She was great with our anxious barky dog. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures and was overall very reliable and went above and beyond for a last minute booking!”
“Kenzie was wonderful with our two kitties, who loved her as well! She was also great with communication (before, during, and after) and sent lots of fun pics for us to enjoy while we were away. We will absolutely hire her again and happily recommend her to anyone looking for a calm, friendly, caring, and reliable pet sitter! Thanks Kenzie! <3”
“Adriana is wonderful!! She’s always super responsive and treats my pup so well! My pup loves her! I’ve booked her more than once already and will continue to book her in the future!”
“Megan is so amazing with my fearful Aussie. She’s incredibly patient and so sweet with him that he almost immediately fell in love!! She’s so communicative and sends plenty of pictures and updates. She’s my go-to sitter!”
“Cole helped make our first Rover experience a positive one! While traveling it helps keep us at ease knowing our pets are cared for so well. Thanks for the photos and extra long walk.”
“I cannot recommend Jenny enough! Not only did she provide exceptional care for my kitties, but she went above and beyond to make sure my home was safe, secured and in perfect shape while we were away. From the detailed updates she sent daily to the little extra touches (like taking out our trash on trash day 🤯🫡), it is clear Jenny truly cares. Our social kitty got lots of love and play time and our shy kitty also had all her needs met. We came home to relaxed, happy cats and a quiet home, which made my return so much easier. She treated my cats as if they were her own and made sure they were safe, comfortable, and well-loved. Jenny exceeded all expectations, and I will definitely trust her with my pets and home again!”
“Charissa gave each of my pups the personalized attention they needed. She kept my high energy pup happy with some fetch and coaxed my shy little one out of her shell for some fresh air, sniff-abouts and TLC. Thank you Charissa!”
About: Lifelong animal lover providing attentive care in a calm home tailored to your dog’s routine. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with rescues, completed dozens of sits, and navigated every stage from puppyhood to golden senior years. After recently losing our beloved rescue pup of ten years, we've opened our home on Rover as a way to pour that same devotion into caring for other dogs. Having guided senior dogs through their final seasons, I am very comfortable managing gentle routines, oral medications, mobility support, and tender pacing. In our home, your dog receives a dedicated two-person care team. My husband brings past experience from volunteering at animal shelters and working with livestock on a ranch. What to expect: •Tailored Days: Upbeat play or quiet couch snuggles to match their unique personality. •Experienced Senior Care: Extra TLC, oral meds, and gentle comfort. One Family at a Time: My calendar shows 1 dog to prevent overlap, but siblings are always welcome! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily life. My schedule lets me offer attentive supervision and adapt to your pup’s established routine. This setup is especially ideal for senior dogs who need frequent potty breaks, scheduled mid-day medications, gentle mobility assistance, or simply the comfort of having someone nearby throughout the day. Whether your dog thrives on quiet company while I work, cozy couch naps, or periodic stretch breaks on a walk, I mirror your home routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, nap spots, and light walks on track. Our home is designed to be a calm, clean, low-stress sanctuary where your pup can truly relax. Every detail is set up with safety, joint support, and accessible comfort in mind—largely shaped by the loving care I gave my late senior dog, Kenny. Accessible, Low-Impact Living: • Zero-Stair Access: Our building features an elevator, so aging hips and stiff joints never have to navigate stairs. •Senior-Friendly Furniture: Our furniture is intentionally low to the ground for easy on-and-off access, and dogs are always welcome on the couch! We also have a cozy, dedicated "dog chair" and an orthopedic, human-grade toddler mattress originally purchased to soothe Kenny's arthritis. •Spotless & Fresh Comfort: Your pup's health and hygiene come first. The mattress has protective covers that is cleaned between visitors. •Cozy & Stocked: While we have a secure patio rather than a yard, our home is filled with plush blankets, orthopedic lounging spots, engaging toys, and healthy treats. Routine & Outdoor Time: Multiple walks throughout the day—whether your dog prefers brisk exercise or slow, leisurely walks. Crating & Comfort: Because my late dog had a difficult past with confinement when I rescued, I never forced crating and prioritize open, free-roaming comfort. However, if your dog feels safe in their crate routine, I am happy to accommodate—please bring their familiar crate.
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.
“I have a very busy on-call schedule working to respond to national disasters and provide service for first responders with AT&T. Katrina has been amazing, and was willing to work with me through some of the hardest moments so I knew my pets were in good hands while I was away.”
About: Friend of all doggos. I've recently had 2 Italian Greyhounds - Lu (17) and Gelato (15) that were my best buds. Always looking to make friends with new pups. I work during the day, but am available weekday evenings. I’m also available all day during the weekends and most holidays. I had 2 Italian Greyhounds for a span of 18 years and can’t wait to meet your pup(s). I can come to your place for walks and visits. I don’t currently have plans to sit for other pets in my own home as I’m in the process of renovating.
“Nicole helped keep my new border collie company for a couple drop in visits while I was away long hours at work. She was communicative and responsive and I know Logan loved it! Thanks Nicole!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals. Currently, I have two dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities and needs. I’m experienced with feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and reading animal behavior. I’m happy to go on walks, take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I’m also open to caring for other types of animals and can provide those services at my cat care rate. My daily routine revolves around being a stay-at-home mom to my two children and our animals. Most of my days are spent at home playing with my daughter while my son is at preschool, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for other pets. I’m looking to fill that time doing something I love—taking care of animals—while earning a little extra fun money on the side. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, so they feel safe and stress-free, and I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and playtime. I’m very respectful of your space and keep everything clean and in order. I also love sending updates and pictures, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Alex was AMAZING! In all the pictures she sent us, we could just tell that our kitty adored her. She was super responsive to every message we sent and everything looked great at our home when we returned. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Laurissa was the perfect sitter for our cat while we were away for a long weekend! From the moment of our meet and greet, it was clear she would be very comfortable playing with Jabba and even holding him to give all the love and attention he craves. Her updates and photos were much appreciated and when we returned home, everything was clearly secure and Jabba was happy. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my entire life ranging from low energy Great Danes to high energy high anxiety terriers. I’m patient and love to learn what will make a dog most happy and help them feel most stimulated while engaging with them. I work from home and have a really flexible schedule. As a dog lover that gives me lots of time to play with your dogs throughout my day. During pet sitting, day care and boarding they’ll get walks and play time multiple times a day and it lets me be flexible with drop-ins and walks. I have a lot of experience with dogs of a variety of anxiety and reactive levels, so will be happy to work with you on their walks to determine the best ways to keep them safe and comfortable.
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!

Pet 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!
Emily has been caring for my Great Danes for almost a year, and I’m so grateful to have someone I trust with them! She came to walk Gracie and Walter the morning after our wedding, giving us the chance to enjoy a slow, relaxing morning together as newlyweds. That was such a special gift to us. Thank you, Emily, for always taking such wonderful care of our pups and giving us that peace of mind! We highly recommend her.
Adriana was amazing in dropping in on my fur kid 3 times this past week, each time making sure she had everything she needed, time outside, pets and treats. Look forward to the pictures she sends and I can see the calmness in my pup (who is anxious around those she doesn't trust). Recommend Adriana completely, and will continue to rely on her. Thanks Adriana!
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 Pet Sitting in Erie is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 14,187 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Erie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Erie. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
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.
