“Grace was absolutely amazing! She watched our dogs the weekend of our wedding and she made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Cannot recommend enough!!”

“Nina is the best! She loves on our dogs, one of which can sometimes not be loveable to others. She is loving & caring and truly makes me feel they are totally safe so we can travel. And always communicates daily along with sending pictures! ❤️”

“Jill was very communicative and easy to work with. We enjoyed her daily updates and she was very patient and thorough with my senior dogs specific needs. We would definitely book again!”


About: Experience with senior dogs that need more special attention due to their diet and medication needs giving them plenty of exercise or playing going on walks and making sure that they get all the attention and love that fur babies need. Currently work part time and available after 2 PM on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Fully available Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. I will have plenty of time to take care of all pets needs whether it’s check-ins, housesitting, walks, feeding and even baths if needed. This all depends on clients wishes and what the fur babies need will be based off of clients comfortability with me being in their own space. My general rule is making sure I leave space(s) clean and respecting others homes and boundaries due to me being a guest and being respectful of property and the safety of pets and fur babies.
“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.”


About: Hi! My name is Lea, and I'm a college student looking to earn extra income while doing something I enjoy caring for animals. I've helped care for my nana's dogs over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I pride myself on being responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that pets are family, and I'll treat yours with the same care and respect that I give my own. I'm currently taking online summer classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I can provide regular walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I always follow the owner's instructions closely to make sure their pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space, keeping everything clean and secure. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and stress free while their family is away.
“Olivia took excellent care of my dog, my cat, and my sister's dog as well! She stayed in my home for a three day, two night petsitting request, and she took great care of my house & belongings as well. Olivia is very pleasant to be around, and the animals loved her. She'll provide plenty of cuddle time as well as play time, and she follows detailed instructions without issue. I'd certainly hire her again. Thank you!”

“Natalie did an amazing job. I have used a couple dog sitters from Rover and have to say she is the best. I’m very particular about who watches my 3 English Bulldogs. They can be quite high maintenance. She made me very comfortable with periodic check ins with photos of my fur babies. I would highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her services again.”
“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 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.”

“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.”

“When I first met Mariana, I liked her immediately and I believe Zion fell in love with her. I mentioned he loves going to the dog park and (with permission) she took him to the dog park and sent pics & videos of him having fun. She's very informative, caring, and follows directions. A very sweet and nice young lady. I highly recommend Mariana and will definitely request her again. Thank you Mariana and thank you Rover for your service.”


“Jackie was great! She pet sit my two dogs and cat. She was communicative and sent photos during my trip. I felt totally comfortable having her in my home and caring for my pet kids. Everyone was happy and relaxed when I got home and my house was immaculate. Highly recommend Jackie and will be booking with her again - I feel lucky to have found her!”

“Jorie did a great job watching my 3 pets over the holiday weekend! She has walked our dogs before, and this was the first overnight. She was communicative leading up to the stay and throughout. I think we got about 10 pictures within the first 24 hours! One of my dogs is very anxious, and Jorie was so good about being patient with her. My other dog has epilepsy and takes medication. She was able to administer that with no issues. Our cat is older and tends to sleep in her little house all day, but she was all over Jorie and loved hanging out with her! I would absolutely hire again and highly recommend!”

“Chris is an unbelievably responsible and passionate human being. He has a special communicational demeanor with animals, and my dog Sergio immediately fell under his spell. He was responsive and great with human communication, too. :) He sent lovely pictures of Sergio multiple times a day, and Sergio seems to have come home in a zen-like state of contentment. I highly recommend his services!”

“Karma did an amazing job watching over our fur babies and home. I was stress free on my vacation, knowing that my animals were in such good care. She took my two pups on adventures to the park and made sure they stayed cool and hydrated in the Vegas heat. My kitty absolutely adored her as well! I know they received plenty of love and cuddles. She sent plenty of pictures and updates daily. I’m happy to say we will have a sitter for all our future trips. I highly recommend Karma for all your four legged friends!”

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.
