About: Hi there! I've been doing canine caretaking on the Rover platform since 2023. My property is a located on the same street as the McClelland Dog Park, a 5-minute walk. As veteran dog owners, we make regular use of it! Prior to doing Rover, I frequently helped friends and family with their dogs for many years. Nearly everyone I know has pets and I've hosted dozens in my home. My clients love the close proximity to a public park with trails. Currently I have 2 dogs - Ellie and Bishop. My yard is fully fenced and your dog will enjoy plenty of outside play time with Ellie and Bishop, as well as trail walks and trips to the dog park. I also live a 5-minute drive from the nearest veterinary clinic, and I have room for crates. I also offer professional photography services for your pet for an extra fee. Ask about it during your dog's stay if interested! 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 a public park with trails. Yard gates are secured with locks and monitored with cameras.
“Rickie did such a good job taking care of our little Gizmo and Arthur! She made sure to follow our admittedly complicated feeding instructions as each of our cats have specific dietary needs. On top of this, she made sure to spend some quality time with our little ones to ensure they were not lonely while we were away. I can't recommend her enough, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future.”


About: I’ve been dog/cat/house sitting since I was about 14! What started out as something I could do for a little extra money quickly turned into something I have a strong passion for and through that I have gained reliable clients and relationships! I have been taking care of many animals through those years and have grown to appreciate each breed as their own individual! Though I’m not specialized in animal care my love, vigilance and passion for helping and taking care of animals makes up for that. I’ve had three cats and a big dog. My latest cat is blind so I’m familiar with some medical care as well! And if you have a reptile (no venomous) no worries! I have experience with them as well as I have my own leapord gecko! I know everyone wants someone loving, reliable and trustworthy to watch over their fur babies and I will not disappoint! On a typical day in the summer I usually have off as I work full time during the school year. Which leaves me free during the day and night for visits or to watch over night. I am free to watch, walk or just play with your fur baby at any time! I typically will do a no charge visit prior to me meeting a new client and animal/s to get a feel for their environment and how your day to day typically runs so I know their routine. I try not to disrupt their normal routine as much as possible! Once we have established the routine I will follow it depending on your specifications! I have experience with all shapes and sizes. I typically bring in mail and packages, water plants and light cleaning if you so desire. It’s all what you’d like! It’s you and your fur babies world I’m just living in it!
About: Hi there! I'm Farah. I have ample experience with all size dogs and an array of special needs dogs, including caring for disabled dogs, giving meds, and managing strict diets and feeding schedules. I’ll be there when promised and will provide updates and/or photos. I am comfortable with all breed sizes and will prioritize your dog's safety and comfort. My chorkie is attached to me so for any overnight or daytime boarding, he will be present unless otherwise stated. He is 6 pounds now and comfortable with cats and small to medium dogs. He is not fixed yet, so please let me know if your girl dog is not spayed. Weekdays: I am not available 8a-4p on weekdays due to my work schedule, but I am available before or after. For boarding, I can accept crate/pen trained dogs and I come home on break midday for walks and treats. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I work Monday through Friday 8-4, but I'm free all day after and anytime on the weekends. I am also happy to pop in during my work day on lunch breaks. I'm flexible and can accommodate you and your pets' needs! I provide structure, care, love, and frequent walks for my dog and will treat yours the same way. I also love taking him on adventures to parks throughout Erie.
“Brandon is very attentive and plays well with my pup. He pays attention to details and makes sure my puppy has everything he needs to remain comfortable. Great dog walker and pet sitter, highly recommend him for service to your pets!”


“Bethany is a great Rover! She accommodated a late request, which was greatly appreciated. The photos she sent and detailed description of the visit were so nice and it is clear our dog and cat love her!!”

“Kathy was very responsible and completely reliable. She provided food, water, and litter cleaning twice a day as agreed. She played with my one kitty who does not hide and took really good pictures of him each day. She dealt with some issues promptly and let me know what was happening. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Kathy. I would be happy to trust her with cat care again at any time.”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life and I feel grateful for it. Whether that be my own pets or taking care of others, I’ve been a trusted caretaker of family and friends’ pets (babies)! I’m currently looking for a full time job as I just graduated and have a lot of free time! I’m hoping to make some money and stay busy for the time being. I would love to take care of animals and help families by providing care and comfort during your busy lives! I can meet whatever needs makes you and your pets comfortable. If there are any specifics of care your pets require, I want to help.
About: Growing up we always had both a dog and a cat in the home. I genuinely love dogs of all types however have experience caring for cats as well! I do work full time Monday through Friday. My job keeps me busy however I would not accept pet care that I was not for sure able to fit into my schedule. Primarily available evenings and weekends for that reason. I am attentive and loving to pets! I enjoy walking and playing with pups of all sizes and spending time with them! Dog cuddles are the best!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since as long as I can remember. I, myself, have six Golden Retrievers (yes, six) and four birds! I’ve pet sat family & friends animals, ranging from dogs to cats to birds and even reptiles and arthropods. I am comfortable with giving animals daily medications they need! I am a full-time college student who works a part-time job. It’s summer break, and I am more available more often! I will easily be able to go from my part-time to your pet(s)! I have a fenced in backyard, myself, but with the amount of dogs I have, I would prefer watching the dog at your residence. I am comfortable walking dogs, and if it’s comfortable with you I would love to hike with them as well!
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years ! While I am most experienced with golden retrievers and helped train them for two years, I am comfortable with any and all dog breeds and sizes. Love going on car rides with a dog in my back seat !! Can’t wait to snuggle your furry friend. :) I work night shift at Starbucks, so I am able to pop in most mornings and early afternoons as well as after 9 PM for a late night visit ! If looking for extensive care over a period of time, I am more then willing to request time off specifically for your buddy. I am comfortable with crate trained dogs as well as free roam friends ! I will make sure to clean up after your friend and ensure they are safe and cozy while you’re gone.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs in Buffalo, where I looked after two dogs, including a Newfoundland and a pit bull mix. I stayed in the owner's home for several days while they were away, making sure the dogs were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I provided daily walks, playtime in the yard, feeding on schedule, fresh water, and treats as instructed. After that, I continued caring for them with drop-in visits, coming in the mornings, evenings, and during the day on weekends. I am responsible, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I always follow the owner's instructions and make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care during weekdays and weekends. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. I can visit in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on your pet’s needs. I am reliable and will always arrive on time. I always prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries, especially with cats or shy animals. I create a calm and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you are away.

About: I was raised on a farm so I have experience with a variety of animals. My family has also had multiple cats, dogs, and small animals who I’ve had a hand in raising and caring for. I don’t have any of my own pets to take care of due to my living arrangements and plenty of free time so your animals are sure to get all my affection and attention. I’m comfortable with any types of cages, leashes, and harnesses and know what kinds of behaviors to look for to know when these are necessary.
About: My husband and I have raised kittens and puppies for the past 20+ years. Our children all have had jobs pet sitting for multiple people. Our family honestly just loves animals, so we figured why not earn some extra money to put towards family getaways, doing what we love. Plus it gives us a chance to do something together! Between myself and the 5 other family members in my home, we can figure out a way to accommodate the needs for your pet. Plus most of us drive so we can provide transport or easily come to you:) We have a large yard for your pet to play, and a great neighborhood with side walks to take for walks. We love playing with animals and cuddles, but we also have enough space in our home if you’d like your pet more secluded.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals growing up. I have experience with all age ranges and breeds of dogs, as well as cats and lizards. I'm good with any challenges that come! I currently own two cats myself:) I am currently working part time at a restaurant and can work my schedule around what you need if brought up a week in advance:) In my home I am used to getting animals in crates, on leashes or just out in the backyard if that's what you need. I will take time with the animals that need help or time with certain things!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Erie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Erie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
