“Lauren watched our four cats, who liked her right away at the meet-and-greet. She has great 'cat person' energy! She did all the tasks we discussed, and was both professional and pleasant. 10/10!”
About: I have been dog and cat sitting for six years, and have had in home pets my whole life! I have experience with senior pets and am happy to help with any mobility needs. I am open to caring for puppies and kittens, but they must be potty trained. I work 8am-4:30pm and can take a lunch break to let pets out as needed! Happy to spend the night with a pet, or just pop for a bathroom break! During the holidays I am available for drop in visits but not for overnights. I am also happy to do early morning at evening visits if that suits your pet's needs. I am not able to care for pets at my house at this time, however I am happy to spend the night somewhere else if need be (after being able to visit with the pet parents present). I am also happy to walk or play with pets to get them some exercise! I have also done several sittings where I do not spend the night at the pet's house, but do a late night and early morning visit to ensure they get their bathroom breaks. Either of these options are available!
About: I have taken care of dogs from as small as a chihuahua to as big as a Great Dane! I have also have experience with older dogs who might need medication or a different routine than younger dogs. My top priority is to take care of your loved one as if it was my own. As a college student, my summertime schedule is very open. I can provide priority care towards your animals, and with my experience, I can give everyday care that can be suitable towards the needs of your animal. In my apartment, I currently own a feline friend. My cat is very playful and loves company. She also knows when another animal does not want to play and respects their wishes.
“Chloe was wonderful! She sent us lots of pictures of Bernie and we always looked forward to her Bernie Report after each visit. When we arrived home everything was just as we left it and Bernie was obviously well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her and we look forward to using her again in the future”
About: I've owned pets, fostered, and worked at an animal shelter. I've housesat for neighbors, family and friends. I'm calm and friendly around animals. I'm thorough, reliable and responsible. I am available early mornings, weekdays after 5pm and weekends. I am also available to sleep over. I'm very flexible and don't mind traveling, either. Because I am a teacher, I have FBI/State police, etc clearances. I'm thorough, neat and will be as loving with your pets as I am with my own!
About: As a work-from-home professional, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home the majority of the day, which means your pet gets regular bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of pats and attention instead of long stretches alone. If I’m staying in your home, all I need is electricity, coffee, and reliable internet so I can keep working while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. In my home, dogs are welcome on the sofa and the bed—this is a snuggle-friendly house where everyone gets love and lots of cuddles.

About: Hi! My name is Alicia. I am a Licenced Veterinary Techician, and graduated from IMBC. I have two cats and two jumping spiders currently. I was a full-time LVT at NEAH for 3+ years, but left due to compassion fatigue. I recently started working full time at Balance Veterinary Rehabilitation Services and have learned a lot about canine physical therapy so far. I have experience with exotics as I used to own rats, a fire skink, and have cared for bearded dragons in the past. I would like to get to know you before coming into your home and caring for your pets. I think establishing trust between each other is an important step to becoming a valued pet sitter. I’m very excited to meet you and your little companions! I am currently working part time doing odd jobs and would love to add this to my routine! I have so much love for animals! Cleanliness is a top priority of mine when it comes to feeding and potty time. Additionally, I know the basics of first aid and CPR in a situation where the worst would occur. I believe this is important knowledge for any sitter to have.
About: I got my first cat 2 years ago, her name is Indy (after Indiana Jones) and I adopted her from The ANNA Shelter. After growing up with strictly dogs, I knew right then I was a changed cat person. A few months later, I adopted my 2nd cat from Because You Care, his name is Laverne. I realized that there are so many cats that need help, and all shelters are almost consistently full. Although I can’t adopt them all, I decided I could at least start volunteering at some of these local shelters. My boyfriend and I now volunteer at Erie Animal Network at their cat shelter. We have been going weekly for the past 1.5 years. I have now gained experience dealing with the many personalities of cats who come through the shelter, as well as medicine experience. At Erie Animal Network I have administered pills, powered medicine, eye drops, ear drops, oral liquid medicine, and creams. I also have had some of that experience with my own cats. Occasionally I volunteer at Purrista Cat Cafe in the cat lounge where it’s pretty fun to just hang out with the kitties and make sure they all behave haha. I also frequently cat sit for my friend and her boyfriend when they go out of town. I have a huge passion for cats. I work a 8:30-5 job, but have all weekends and all major federal holidays off. Visits will be able to be conducted in the mornings and after I get off work no problem. I live in an apartment, and have 2 cats that are strictly indoors because of our 3rd floor apartment. If they do go out on the deck, I have bought little playpens to put them in to keep them safe and so they can still enjoy the outdoors (although they aren’t fans). I give them lots of stimulating toys to play with, space to run around and play, and make sure they always have fresh food and water. Their litter box is scooped daily to ensure cleanliness.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lucy and Bennett while we were away! We will be going away again in the middle of February and will want to book you again if you are available.”
About: Pet owners trust me because I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animals. I’ve cared for pets of my own, friends, family, and previous clients for years — managing feedings, medications, and long walks in all kinds of weather. You can count on me to treat your pets with care, keep you updated, and make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away. I currently am in graduate school (dental) M-F until noon, leaving me a large amount of time each day to spend with my fur baby friends! In my home or my own, my main goal is to make your pet, and you most comfortable. Whether that mean a keeping a certain routine the same, or allowing your pet to make itself at home in my home, I want you both to be at ease that they are taken care of and loved.
“When it comes to cats, Sunny is the real deal. She was fantastic with our (many!) cats and kittens and took extra care when looking after a momma cat and her six kittens we were fostering, ensuring that everyone got a little extra love and human-time while we were away. Sunny's communication was great with us and she was on top of everything, sending pictures every day. Five stars, best cat sitter in Erie.”
“We could not have asked for a better cat sitter! Mary was warm, professional, and attentive to every detail about our two cats’ routines and personalities. While we were away, we received updates from each visit with adorable photos and thoughtful notes that gave us total peace of mind. Both of our cats can be a little shy with new people, but they warmed up to Mary quickly—which speaks volumes about the level of care and kindness she provided. When we came home, our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved in our absence. We would not hesitant to book Mary again!”
“Scott went above and beyond to provide excellent care and service for my two pups. He took time to let my dogs get to know him and earned their trust as they are unsure when meeting new people. Excellent communication throughout the process as well. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 14, starting with my own who required insulin shots. Currently I have 3 cats of my own: Charlie, Gilbert, and Mia. I raised Charlie and Mia from when they were kittens so I am familiar with kitten care as well. Occasionally, I will pet sit for a friend with 5 cats so I am open to pet sitting more than 2 cats at a time. I currently work 3 days/week at my other job. I’m pretty flexible and would be able to pet sit on the 4 days I’m off or stop by after work. I know that cats are very established in their routines and I will typically follow their owners instructions as far as feeding schedules/different types of food used, or play routines,etc.
About: Howdy! I took break from doing Rover for a while, but I've been doing Rover caretaking since 2023. I've hosted over a dozen dogs in my home, and I'm now happy to announce am accepting new clients! I've been a veteran pet owner and caretaker for over 20 years, and I currently have 2 dogs - Ellie and Bishop. My property is fully fenced and directly connected to the Fabrizi dog park in east Erie. It's a huge perk for dog lovers, and we make regular use of it. Your dog will enjoy plenty of outside play time with Ellie and Bishop as well as trail walks and trips to the dog park, weather permitting. I live 3 minutes from the closest emergency veterinary clinic. Will accept medium or smaller size crates for longer stays if required. NEW SERVICE! I am now offering professional photography as an extra service! If you are interested in high quality photography of your pet with other dogs, at the park or just by themselves - please ask! I am happy to provide this during their stay at an extra cost. I work a regular day job, but it's very close to home so I come home daily for lunch to and for the dogs and run them in the yard. Off on weekends with fairly open schedule. Ellie and Bishop are exercised daily and worked with often, and are very well behaved with both dogs and people. The backyard is directly connected to the McClelland Ave. dog park, which is directly accessible via public access trails from my rear gate. Yard gates are secured with locks and monitored with cameras.

Kseniya is a fabulous pet sitter and I trust her 100% with my cats and in my home. She does a great job at not just the basics (food, water, litterboxes) but takes the time to play with my kitties and give them love and attention. She also takes great pet pics for updates which helps me to feel secure knowing everything is going well. She leaves the home spotless every day even washing the plates my cats ate their wet food from. Highly recommend booking with her!
