About: I’m Logan, a lifelong dog lover with an Aussie Doodle named Hobbes. My girlfriend and I provide a calm, caring home where dogs of all sizes feel safe and welcomed. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both energetic pups and more anxious dogs, so your dog will receive the same structure, attention, and comfort they’re used to at home. We take Hobbes to the downtown dog park often, giving visiting dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and socialization. We also share our home with two friendly, easygoing cats who are comfortable around dogs, creating a relaxed and well rounded environment. Our household routine makes it easy for us to give visiting dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I typically leave for work between 8–9 AM, Monday through Friday, and both my girlfriend and I are usually home by 3–4 PM. Evenings are spent at home, so dogs get lots of company, outdoor time, and attention after the workday. On weekends we’re almost always home, which gives us even more time for walks, play, and one-on-one care. We take Hobbes to the dog park about three times a week when the weather allows, and we also go on frequent morning or evening walks. Visiting dogs are welcome to join in for exercise, enrichment, and fun if they enjoy social outings. Safety and comfort are always our top priorities. Our two cats have their own dedicated space in the home, so they can relax undisturbed whenever they want. Visiting dogs are welcome to stay out of the crate and enjoy the home freely, but we’re also able to crate them when we’re away if that’s part of their routine or if an owner prefers it. With Hobbes here, most dogs enjoy having a built-in buddy to play with, which helps them feel less lonely and more settled during their stay. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, we take all dogs outside on a leash for bathroom breaks, fresh air, and extra exercise to keep them comfortable and safe.

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Nick! Your Reliable Neighborhood Dog Walker. 🐾 At 30 years old, caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years.

I truly enjoy being outdoors and staying active, and there’s nothing better than spending that time with dogs. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn energy, extra playtime, or someone dependable to care for them while you’re busy, I can provide safe, attentive, and loving care every step of the way. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🐶 Reliable 🐾 Energetic ❤️ Trustworthy 🚶‍♂️ Active & Attentive 🏡 Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, reptiles, chickens, amphibians, and small mammals. I’ve owned pets continuously since childhood, from Golden Retrievers and a Border Collie to cockatiels that I’ve cared for into their senior years. I currently have three rescue cockatiels and understand the patience, consistency, and attention to detail that pets need. Friends, family, and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for throughout my week. I work part-time, which allows me to accept drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting that fit my schedule. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible and will communicate clearly about my availability. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, or dependable daily care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. During visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure your home is secure, your pets have fresh food and water, and they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection at a pace they’re comfortable with. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life since majority of my family members have them. I used to have the responsibility of feeding and providing potty breaks for my grandparents dog. Now I have a cat of my own. I’m currently working full time, so I typically only have Thursday-Saturday to look after your pets. More than happy to try and make any time work for those days! As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. Having cared for my own cat and looked after animals for many years, I know how to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs and routine.

About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Wednesday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.

About: I work as a grooming technician and have an educational background in animal and veterinary science through NSTC, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and basic health knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’ve also done training work with reactive dogs, so I’m confident managing structured walks and helping dogs feel secure. In addition to sitting and walking, I can provide light grooming services such as nail trims, bath and brush, and sanitary trims upon request. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on building trust so pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I work part-time in the pet care field, so animal care is already a regular part of my daily routine. My schedule allows flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I have strong weekend availability. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable. I provide care in my client’s home and prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress handling. As a grooming technician, I work hands-on with dogs every day and am very comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach to keep pets calm. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs, so I’m especially patient and aware during walks and new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and can crate if needed. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being always come first.

Maysie went above and beyond for our dogs Cooper and Cali! She is such a sweet girl and took such great care of our dogs while we were on vacation! She gave us such good descriptions about how their day went and what they did. Also sent a lot of cute pictures! She made us feel very confident that they were in great care with her! She also left them with homemade treats! So sweet and would highly recommend Maysie!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Erie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,163 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Erie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Erie. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
