“Benny was a great dog sitter and house guest. He stayed in my house to watch my German shepherd mix Charlie and did an amazing job. He is thoughtful, responsive and caring. I will rebook with Benny next time I go on vacation and recommend him to others.”
“Pre was wonderful! She was incredibly caring for our French Bulldog, who had a rash on his feet; she made sure to apply his ointment and took good care of our home. We'd book with her again!”
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs since my entire life of all sizes. I love to cuddle and take care of dogs. I currently own a chocolate lab and a Belgian malinois who both are spoiled with love and cuddles! I’d love to be able to share my love of dogs and help others with their dogs as well. I have trained both my dogs with obedience training and leash training as well as potty training. I walk my own dogs a minimum of 2 miles a day, as well as interactive play, that I’d love to do for your dogs as well! I also have experience with giving dogs medication. Setting alarms to make sure they are dispensed at the correct times, and making sure lots of praise is given. I’d love to be able to meet your pups and spoil them with my love!! My wife also loves helping me take care of others dogs, she too has had dogs her entire life and loves and spoils them. We can’t wait to meet your baby! My schedule is currently open, with early morning times of 7am to evening hours of 11pm to help fellow dog parents give their dogs fun and adventure! My babies are crate trained, but are only crated when no one is home for their safety. Your babies will love playing with my gentle giants, and have lots of toys to play with. I have a fenced yard for play, as well as unfenced areas. I live in a very quiet neighborhood that ensures comfortable walking conditions for your baby.
“Jennifer was great, very communicative and was able to squeeze us in relatively last minute. She came for a visit and was both professional and easy to talk with. Throughout her time she gave us regular updates on our two cats that helps keep us present on our trip. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Stefanie was wonderful! She sent many pictures each day and gave my cat lots of love. She and her husband stayed at my place and left it in better condition than when I left it. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Right now I have Mon-Fri 6-2. So I’m available after 2pm. But my routine with my pets usually start between 3:30 and 4 am. I usually take Mana for his first potty break around that timeframe, then I serve breakfast around 4:45 for both Mana & cheddar. By 5:30 Mana has already had 2 bathroom breaks and he is fine til I get home from work. I usually do 2 long walks a day. And 20 minute short walks in my complex. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I live in a spacious apartment with plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and feel comfortable during their stay. While I don’t have a private yard, my apartment complex has plenty of walking areas, so dogs can still get regular walks, exercise, and fresh air. I make sure pets are supervised, kept in a clean and secure environment, and cared for according to their normal routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll treat every animal in my care with patience, attention, and respect.
About: Your dogs are my top priority. Anything else I need to do comes second to them. I have watched over my own dogs for 5 years! My family started with one and now we have 3. They all have different personality’s so I am equipped to care for your pets regardless of their personality’s types, sizes, and dietary needs. I will only schedule service when I know I can spend whatever amount of time needed with your pets. I want to make sure my schedule aligns with your dogs! At my home I walk my pets once a day. During the summer time I do this either early in the morning or late at night so their paws aren’t hurt by the hot ground. I feed them once in the morning and at night. I can adjust this depending on your dogs needs. I usually pick up all the poop in my backyard at the end of the day to avoid a buildup of waste in the backyard. I will do the same with your dogs, unless their needs are different. If that is the case I will accommodate your dogs needs.
“Kaitlyn is absolutely amazing. She was able to come on short notice to be with our Gwenie girl while we were out for the evening. Our pup felt safe and loved. She’s truly the best! We are so incredibly thankful.”
“Jessica is amazing! I’ve been lucky enough to book her 2x for overnight puppy sitting. I felt so much better knowing she was there. She is great with communicating, sends awesome pictures, and follows all instructions. My dog loves her too. I’d book her every time if I could.”
“Kristy was very nice! She treated our pup and our home like it was her own. We were so happy to see how much she loved our dog, as well as getting lots of photo updates while we were away! Followed directions well, came home to clean apartment and happy pup. Definitely will be reaching out to her again for future needs :)”
About: My parents have always had a pet. I have been around my pets or friends' pets my entire life. Since 2013, I have had the privilege of being a private dog-sitter in the Ann Arbor, MI area. However, I have recently moved to Las Vegas, and I am looking to continue the rewarding job that is dog-sitting. I am comfortable walking and feeding your dog. Depending on the process, I can also give any prescribed medication. If you own more than one pet, I have plenty of experience with multi-pet households. I work from home, so I can be around as much as needed to ensure your loved one has a pleasant experience while you are away. Before booking, I always appreciate a meet and greet with you and your dog to help establish a bond with them. I take pride in my ability to bond with pets and follow any and all instructions left by owners. When you are away for whatever reason, you can trust that your pet is being taken care of in a loving, responsible manner. I work as an online tutor, so I can be at your home morning, afternoon, and evening. I can also set my schedule to allow for walks or breaks your dog needs and give them the attention they need throughout the day. Your dog's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. I will keep a watchful eye on your dog and follow any instructions you provide. I enjoy providing you regular updates on your dog. I can also only contact you in case of emergency and everything in between. I will clean up after myself and your dog and will do laundry if needed. I am a guest in your home, and I will treat it with respect and leave it as I found it.
About: I’m a 31 year old corporate professional with a love and passion for pets. I grew up with dogs, cats, iguanas, wildlife rescues and many more! I love Rover because it turns my passions into a fun little hobby and side gig. Since I work from home my schedule is always flexible and open. I have downtime throughout the day and can stop by before or after work. This is of course based on customer preferences and dog personality and behavior. Open space or gates, cradles, etc. as needed. Let me know how I can help!
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the first person neighbors would call when they needed someone to watch, walk, or care for their dogs. That early love for animals quickly became a lifelong passion. Today, my wife and I are proud dog parents to two amazing dogs who are truly part of our family. We treat them like our kids and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re away. In addition to caring for our own dogs, my wife and I have spent the last five years fostering dogs through local shelters. This experience has given us the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to senior dogs who require extra attention and gentle care, we’ve learned how to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My background in hospitality has also taught me the importance of communication, reliability, and exceptional service. When your pet is in my care, you can expect regular updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re being treated like family. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day while also managing my small business from the comfort of my home. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet is my top priority. Through five years of fostering dogs with local shelters, I've learned that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I take the time to understand their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any behavioral considerations. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain the routine they're accustomed to. In my home, pets are treated like family and are always supervised in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I carefully monitor introductions with other dogs and ensure each pet has plenty of space, attention, exercise, and affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pets with the utmost respect. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have complete peace of mind while they're away. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owners confidence that they're in good hands.
“WHAT A BLESSING SHE IS!! Yaritza was amazing and kept me updated the entire length of my vacation. So nice to know that someone who cared so much for animals was with my sweet 14 year-old fur baby!! I would hire her again in a second!”
“Lauren was so great with our cat Reese! She sent me so many great pictures of them cuddling and hanging out and she left my place clean and even brought up all of our packages from the reception. I definitely will be having her watch Reese and our place again!”

“Susanna was an amazing pet sitter! She was very flexible with the timing of our trip and accommodated us well. We came back to a neat and clean home and a happy cat with a clean litter box!”
“Karma was fantastic, constantly sharing updates reassuring my babies were ok. She watered my plants as a bonus and offered flexibility in case my flight home was delayed or cancelled. In addition, she was incredibly clean, considerate and respectful of my space as she spent the night. I would definitely use Karma again. THANK YOU.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Erie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,674 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.
