“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!”
“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”
About: Hi, I'm Lindsey, I am a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for playful pups, energetic working breeds, and sweet senior dogs. I currently have a 4-year old mini American Shepherd named Mochi! He’s a trained frisbee dog and the friendliest little shadow. Before him I raised two Australian Shepherds from puppyhood through their senior years. I’ve cared for: Puppies Senior dogs High-energy and working breeds Anxious and shy pups Dogs needing oral medication I believe every dog deserves patient, structured care with plenty of love, enrichment, and outdoor time. I treat every dog like my own. I live on a greenbelt that connects to Coal Creek trail, there are miles of of walking and sniffing at my back door! I am home full time, and my husband works from home MWF so your dog will rarely be alone. I’m fully available: Early mornings Late afternoons Evenings Weekends Daily walks, trail adventures, enrichment, and playtime fit easily into my weekly routine. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. I offer boarding,walks, and drop-ins, and I maintain a calm, respectful environment for all dogs in my care. My home setup: -Fully fenced yard backing up to a greenbelt connected to Coal Creek Trail (endless sniffing and exploring!) -Dogs welcome on furniture -Two kind, dog-loving daughters (ages 9 & 11) -Just Mochi, a playful mini American Shepherd -Calm home environment Safety practices I follow: -All dogs leashed outside the fenced yard -Crate available if preferred or required -Follow all pet parent routines + special instructions -Frequent photo updates and check ins for peace of mind I do not accept aggressive dogs, but I’m very comfortable with high-energy, playful, or anxious pups.
“Sarah took amazing care of our two Great Danes on the evening of our wedding! This was our first time booking with her, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave Gracie and Walter. She even cleaned up Walter’s bed after he destroyed it, which was so thoughtful and appreciated! Knowing our pups were in good hands let us relax and enjoy our wedding without worrying. Thank you, Sarah, for helping make our day stressfree! We would happily book with her again.”
“Sara did amazing with my cat! She did drop in visits to administer oral and topical medication and had no problems. I also got an update picture from her every day and she communicated amazingly! I would definitely book again :)”
“Dan is a great sitter. He was punctual, thorough and very informative while posting pics and texting updates while we were gone. We're going to book Dan again this summer. Thanks, Dan!”
“Holly is amazing! She takes such good care of my puppy, Kevin! She is punctual, efficient, communicative and super caring and fun with Kevin😊 Simply put, a working dog dad’s dream! Thanks so much Holly!”
About: I work full time, but would love to spend time with dogs before and after work, when possible. I have a 3-year-old Siberian Husky, my dream come true! I trained her starting at 8 weeks. She is as sweet and patient as can be. While I was in college, I would often care of a couple dogs that my friends had or that I would live with. Since then, I have taken on clients by word of mouth. I'm looking to connect with the community and spread the love I have for animals to others. I work remotely. While I do often have meetings throughout the day, I have some flexibility to modify much of my day to meet the needs of pets. I am very concerned about safety as a medical professional. I love to have fun and show love to pets, but I recognize some situations require more care. My own pup is crate trained to reduce the risk of getting into risky situations unsupervised. I also clean up the yard to reduce the risk of infection by cleaning up bowel movements routinely throughout the day.
About: We are a caring couple looking to watch over your pets while you are away. Ranch style home with a fenced backyard. Full roaming access to the inside and outside of the house. We are used to dealing with senior dog care. Your pet can relax on the furniture. You have the comfort of knowing that we will be home and available to keep them company! We also understand that last minute things come up… Check with us for same day appointments! Someone will be home Tuesday night thru Monday morning at all times (if your pet needs it). We are used to caring for a dog with separation anxiety, so we know what it is like to have someone there for them. Piece of mind for the furry friend in your life. We have a fenced yard and roaming access for inside and outside pets. Need a splash pool for those hot summer days, we have them covered.
“Nicole ALWAYS takes good care of our babies! A few days before leaving, our two older cats got really sick & I was super anxious about leaving. Nicole made me feel more at ease leaving them..she always does amazingly detailed reports and describes our cats perfectly-showing attention to each of their personalities! Thanks for being our go to cat sitter!!”
“Rachael is amazing- she is prompt, courteous, communicative, knoweldgable and so sweet with our 11 week old Chocolate Lab. She has taken wonderful care of her, helped her adjust to her crate with lots of extra help that she went out of her way to do. We trust her in our home and would 100% recommend and will use her again. Thank you so much, Rachael :) - Charlie & The Gibbs”
About: First time clients to Rover can receive $20 credit - please ask me about this promo code. Will take last minute bookings, if my calendar is open. My background; I have always had family pets my entire life. Your 🐕🐈 is my priority, I will take special care of your fur babies when you are not able to do so. My schedule is flexible and my client list will remain small to allow me the time to provide your pet the very best care they deserve. I will ensure your pet is safe and secure on walks and when under my care. Following my clients directions will be my top priority.
“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!”
About: I’ve shared a dog with my mom for the past 9 years and have been around dogs my whole life. I’m calm, patient, and truly love caring for all kinds of pups. Friends and family often rely on me to feed, walk, and stay overnight with their pets. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am a part time student remotely at UCCS so your pet is my biggest concern! I am extremely flexible and can do drop byes or I can stay overnight whatever fits your needs. I care for each pet based on their individual needs and personality. Whether that means cuddling on the couch, playing fetch, or going for long walks, I want your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and fulfilled. Safety and trust are my top priorities! I always use secure leashes or harnesses on walks, respect your home’s rules, and follow any specific routines you provide.
“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!”
“We had a last minute type of situation, and Katrina was very communicative, to say the least! She provided care for our pup in our home sending lots of great pictures. We would highly recommend Katrina!”
“This is our second time booking with Jessica and it definitely will not be our last. She's incredibly responsive and her care for the pets she's looking after is obvious.”
About: I have experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, and other pets in our home since I was 10. I currently have an 8.5 y/o black lab border collie mix who is very active and is a people's dog not a dog's dog. That said, I can comfortably care for reactive dogs and cats with ease and empathy. I work full-time but my schedule is flexible. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, play time and attention! I am used to caring for active dogs. I know our pets can be most comfortable at home so I am happy to stay with them at your home. I will treat your home as my own and leave it better than I found it.

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 .
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.
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 .
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.
