“In addition to our usual sitting routine, Rachel made extra time to run over and address a litterbox issue on short notice. Thank you for taking such great care of our cats!”
“Kenzie was terrific taking care of our 16 year old cat, Bella! She sent photos, gave me updates every day, brought in our newspapers and a package that was delivered. I will definitely ask her again! Thanks so much Kenzie!”
“Jon did such a great job with my dogs! There has been a lot of upheaval in their lives with moving to a new house and Hattie is always nervous when meeting a new person. Jon was so patient and understood her hesitation and he allowed her to warm up on her schedule, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Jessica is great! She took such good care of our babies while we were away. She even went the extra mile and helped care for our garden during an unexpected snowfall. She is very kind and our dog adores her! We totally recommend Jessica to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“We have never used a Rover before because we’ve been worried about how our animals would respond a stranger in the house. As we came closer to our wedding day, we realized that the best thing for our cats was for them not to be boarded but to stay at home where they can feel safe. Adriana was absolutely amazing. She made everything leading up to our big weekend less stressful. She came over and met our boys, and she was so kind and considerate and sent us updates and pictures. It was such a relief for us to know that our boys not only ended up LOVING her (when normally they hate strangers) but that they were also home safe and sound. Adriana’s updates and pictures were everything to us this weekend. We looked forward to her messages every day. She also went above and beyond - bringing packages inside and even going back over to our house when something came up. I’m so beyond grateful for her!”
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 work outside the home from 12–3 PM, Monday–Friday but have the option to work from home. ( I will be home full time starting in June 2026), 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.
“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: I’ve had dogs for 15 years, and loved, trained, and raised them from puppy age until the very end. I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs for seven years. I have experience in senior dog care and know how important it is to go at their pace, on their time. I’ll only take on full-day or overnight pets on my days off, which means they will get my undivided attention. Plenty of bathroom breaks, walks, and love. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my apartment, so just let me know if those aren’t your rules. I live in an apartment with a balcony. There’s plenty of open space in the surrounding area and we’ll go on lots of adventures, as long as it suits your pup! I will always keep your dog on a leash unless you tell me otherwise.
“Cole did fantastic with my less than friendly to strangers kitties. He went out of the way to make them feel comfortable with his presence and he did absolutely everything I requested!!”
“Hanna did an amazing job checking in on my dog and cat with my last minute check-in request. Followed my instructions to a T and left the house in great shape. They also went above and beyond, taking care of our foster dog esp. with some complicated health stuff/instructions. Great communication. Will rebook again in the future.”
“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 :)”
“Emily has been walking our 10 year old pup daily for 6 weeks or so. She is reliable, communicative, and thorough. She has followed through with everything I asked and she’s a big help to us. Thank you for taking such good care of our Stella!”
“Kendra was wonderful. Took great care of our dog and our house. Timely followed through and was very loving with our camel. We will definitely use her again. Thank you so much, Kendra.”
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job as always taking care of our car while we left the country for vacation. She gave us peace of mind with thoughtful updates and cute pics, as well as went out of her way to help us out with a house thing.”
“Melissa was so kind, understanding and reliable. She helped me with a pick up drop off and really made my vacation possible by helping me ensure my baby was safe and sound! I couldn’t recommend her more. So glad to have found her!”
About: Caring for pets has always been my passion! I’ve grown up with cats and dogs of all kinds and have always been very adamant in making sure they receive the best care and all the love possible. I’ve worked professionally with animals in doggy day care setting and worked closely with dog trainers. My husband is also a vet technician who has spent his whole career working with animals including in dog kennels and doggy day care. Our life purpose is caring for animals, our own and yours! You can be sure your pet is being cared for deeply while you are away! I have taken my passion for pet care full time! Please contact me for availability, I am booking up quickly but I have a wide range of availability for different services. From house sitting to dog walking, I also offer pet waste collection/removal & nail trims. We have a very well sized fully fenced back yard and an open home. Our home does have other cats and dogs so we mostly require guest to be adapted to this kind of environment. However, we have spaces in home available to keep a dog separate for their comfort levels if need be. Case by case. As far as animal care in our home or yours, we treat them as our own. Each animal has a different personality and different needs, which for us is easy to understand. If I am away home sitting for work, my husband is home caring for our animals. Please reach out and ask any questions you’d like for more information.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Erie
Danielle took care of our two cats and did an amazing job - refilled their food, scooped litter and gave one of my cats her daily medicine. We will definitely be using her again the next time we take a trip. It really gives me peace of mind knowing I have someone taking such great care of my cats while I'm away.
Best sitter ever! So glad we found Brittany. She did a great job with our two cats, both of which are very shy and finicky. She also was an excellent communicator, sending pictures and videos and keeping us informed on how our two girls were doing. We can’t recommend Brittany enough, she’s been an excellent cat sitter.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Erie on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 14,268 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Erie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
