“Kaylee was great! She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures. She went above and beyond with house sitting for us! We now have our go to sitter for the future!”
“Elsie was fantastic and my fur babies loved having her taking care of them. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and I was completely at ease while I was away traveling. I’d highly recommend her to anyone that is needing any type of pet sitting services and I’ll definitely use her services again.”
“Jessica is always amazing! I’m so appreciative of the peace of mind I have when Jessica is pet/house sitting. My fur babies love her (even the elusive cat) and she shows them so much attention and care!”
“Poly is fantastic with Dutch! I’ve had her sit twice for me now, and Dutch seems to love having her around! Would definitely recommend Poly! She’s great with updates, and has been a great help to me!”
“Sierra did amazing with her sitting of my two girls. She was communicative and respectful of my home. She sent photos of my girls throughout the sitting, and updated me with any needed information. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Grace was amazing. She came to meet our animals beforehand, and stayed with them overnight while we were out of town. The animals were happy and the house was clean when we arrived back home.”
“Megan is amazing! My siamese Frankie loves her possibly more than me. She is attentive, communicates well, and always leaves the house perfect. She is the absolute best, I am so grateful to have found Megan.”
“Haley was a great sitter for our three dogs for the ten days we were gone. She would send messages and pictures to keep us updated. She went above and beyond by doing a few chores and cleaning up after herself and the dogs.”
“Mandi is the best! Our precious baby Emily was loved so much by her and she kept us updated with pictures and messages how everything was going the entire time! Definitely put our minds at ease knowing our baby was in good hands!!”
“Caroline is absolutely the best dog sitter we could ask for! From the moment we met her, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves dogs, and she treated ours like family. She took amazing care of our pup, kept us updated throughout our time away with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Not only did she provide exceptional care for our dog, but she also treated our home with the utmost respect, leaving everything exactly as we left it. Caroline has such a kind, positive energy, and it’s clear she truly enjoys what she does. We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable Rover sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Danica was super nice and very communicative. She did a great job careing for him, making sure he got his meds, and all his need where met and sent me daily updates and pictures.”
“Karma is wonderful with my senior cat, kept me updated with news and pics of the day, followed instructions, was flexible with changes to my travel schedule, and left my home tidy. She’s the best! It takes a special sitter to feel comfortable leaving in your home with your babies for a long trip which is why I’m so grateful to have Karma!”
“Maya stepped into a chaotic situation with my three cats: one who wasn't feeling great and only eats tiny amounts, but snacks often, an 8-month-old kitten who isn't very regular with meals yet, and a third adult cat who hates the kitten and isn't shy about letting him know, and who only eats raw food twice daily. A real circus. Maya and her partner who also stayed handled it with poise, and everyone was fed and happy when we returned. Thanks for letting us get away for a few days! Couldn't have done it without you!”
“We have had several pet sitters and Valeria is by far the best one. Her attention to detail and instructions on care of Karma was perfect. We would highly recommend Valeria to anyone looking for a excellent caring pet sitter.”
“Kaitlyn was great! She was communicative, friendly, she followed instructions, and took great care of our pets and home while we were gone. 10/10 would recommend and we'll be booking her again.”
“Chris is amazing! Let me start by saying this - our dog can be a handful - medications 3x a day, chronic digestive issues, limited mobility, cant be left overnight, etc. Chris was the complete professional, stayed in regular contact with us, adjusted as needed, and was kind and flexible the entire time! Plus - our Ellie LOVES him! ❤️ He is the ultimate dog-dad and we have already booked him again for our next trip!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Erie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,675 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
