“Nina went above and beyond in taking care of our furbaby and taking care of our home. She is trustworthy, respectful, and caring. We hope to have her for future care and would highly recommend her. Thank you, Nina.”
“Elsie was absolutely amazing house sitting for our Giant Schnauzer! We received daily updates with photos and videos. She’s a quick responder too! Our dog really enjoyed his time with her! 10/10 recommend, we will be booking again :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Naidalys was great with our dogs (3 month old, one year old, and a 15 year old. She sent plenty of updates to know that she and the dogs were getting along just fine. Strong recommend.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for every kind of personality from playful puppies to slow moving seniors. I’m currently a dog mom to Sunni and Cher, my five year old duo. Before them, I raised Roxy and Lily from puppyhood all the way into their senior years, and Roxy lived to 17. Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work full time as a nurse, so I offer pet care on Wednesdays and weekends. Those days are completely open for walks and drop ins, and I’m reliable with scheduling and communication. Services Explained: Dog Walks A neighborhood exercise walk and potty break. Perfect for mid-day exercise while you’re at work. Drop-In Visits A 30-minute visit for feeding, potty breaks, litter box care, and playtime. House Sitting Overnight care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment while you travel. When I’m caring for someone else’s pet, I treat their home and their routine with the same respect I expect for my own. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, meds if needed, and any quirks the pet might have. I’m big on safety—locked doors, leashes clipped, and keeping a close eye on the pet at all times. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, calm, and cared for while you’re away.
“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’ve taken care of animals for many years. Neighbors, family and friends all call on and refer me out. I love dogs and cats of all kinds. Young or old, from walks, to lodging, I can do it all! My job is flexible and I am happy to work wherever is needed! I will work with you on timing, needs, etc to maintain your pets schedule as efficiently as possible. I have a fenced backyard and an incredible friendly bernedoodle. I am happy to work on basic training with your pet in addition to play time with the pups.
“Our three pups had a fantastic time. They were tended to and cared for with so much genuine attention and kindness we couldn’t have asked for a more stress-free experience while we were gone for the entire day! we received adorable videos and photos during the sitting and had a glowing report upon our return. Highly recommend and will absolutely be requesting them again!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! :))”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable dog lover who will treat your pup like family. 🐶❤️ I have experience with dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ll follow your dog’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! 🐾 My school schedule is Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-5pm. I’m flexible the rest of the week and am happy to find a time that works for your family! I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!
About: Every animal deserves to be cared for with special attention. My name is MJ (or Meghan). I have raised a few dogs myself, and have watched family and friends pets (including snakes, spiders, and chinchillas). I’ve volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs, playing with critters, cleaning their living spaces and even fostering a few dogs. I enjoy the healing energy animals bring, as well as the exercise. I love all kinds of animals! Slightly unrelated, I also have a bachelors degree in psychology and I use that in daily life. I bartend part time at a restaurant, so I have a lot of free time, especially mornings. My day is centered around playing with my dog (hide and seek with toys or treats or myself, tricks for treats, tug of war, fetch and taking her on walks). It has slowed down since she got diagnosed with early onset advanced arthritis, so I thought it would be fun to look for something I would love to do but also make a little extra money doing. We just moved to Las Vegas six months ago so I’d like to build a foundation here. I have booties if necessary (for medium -medium large dogs), treats, and poop bags already at my disposal. I live in a two bedroom two bathroom condo, so the care of your cutie would be lots of playtime, walks and reward driven activities!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have over 12 years of experience caring for them. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I enjoy giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. Im currently in nursing school and also work, so my schedule can vary from week to week. My calendar may sometimes look more limited than my actual availability, and I can often be flexible depending on the day and your pets needs! Please feel free to message me even if a date appears unavailable- I'm always happy to see if we can work something out. I only accept bookings I can fully commit to so your pup gets the time, attention and care they deserve! I always make each dog’s safety and comfort my top priority. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention and supervision, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pup is in my care.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole childhood and cats. I’ve been dog/cat sitting for years now. I also foster for the animal foundation from time to time. I bottle fed a litter of kittens once!🥰 I have experience administering medication to my pets growing up as well as animals I have fostered. I work from home. I’m home all day every day. I wake up between 5-7am and go to sleep between 10-11pm. My schedule is very flexible. I’m available for early morning or late night walks. I will treat your dog or cat as if they were my own! I encourage you to bring their favorite toy and treats. I will keep them on their same routine as best I can. Feed them as you instruct and take them on walks or even the dog park if that’s okay! Treats and an occasional pup cup. Lots of love and attention!
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve had the joy of having dogs by my side my whole life. I’ve been there for pets through every stage—whether it’s bathing, giving medicine, taking them on walks, feeding, playing, or simply treating them like family. I’ve also helped out friends, neighbors, and family with their pets along the way. I’m trustworthy, friendly, and always ready to provide the loving care they deserve. As a student and a mom to older kids, I have plenty of free time to take your dog for a walk or play with them while you're at work or on vacation. I love being outdoors, staying active, and spending time with dogs—they always bring a smile to my face. It's a win-win situation! I will follow every instruction you give to ensure your home and pet are safe, clean, loved, and well-exercised. Your furry companions will receive the utmost care, love, and attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Erie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,697 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Erie. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
