About: Born & raised in Texas, recently moved to the area, grew up with/around animals my whole life; Having over 20 years of experience with a variety of breeds from livestock, outdoor to full indoor fur babies I'm capable and reliable to take the best care of your lil' one! I’m quick on my feet and ready to take on any task. Lately I have transitioned into working more from home which gives me plenty of free time during the days & evenings either to drop by and check in or go for a nice long walk/run to exercise your pet or just stick to their normal active routine if they have one. You can rest assured that if you happen to be out of town that the regimen you set will be strictly followed- I’m always happy to send candid updates via pics/vids of your lil one when you’re missing them. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns; I am delighted to answer any that you may have! Currently working from home, I have ample opportunity to tend to your fur babies needs at any given time during the day/evening. If you are looking for someone with a flexible schedule who is willing to drop what they are doing to check on your loved one, then I'm the right sitter for you. Whether it is taking care of paws or claws, I genuinely will provide the best level of care regarding your fuzzy family member with the highest regard making sure their routine stays uninterrupted. If your dog loves to run, then we will run! Also more than happy to relax and chill with the low energy types while still having that playful interaction if they're in the mood.
About: I have always wanted taken care of my pets and everyones in my neighborhood, I get along and everything gets done smoothly when im with them I work only some days in the morning or nights and I can work around my other schedule for any animals when I am needed. I have an open field and a gated one as well and two dogs, I only crate when need be and if asked from someone else.
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!
“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 always had animals my entire life of all sorts and prefer their company. Naturally animals are comfortable in my presence. I am basically Snow White. Pet care is a regular part of my routine that I could easily adapt to your requirements. I work a few hour during the week for a few days and have plenty of time to accommodate your needs. I have fenced yard if necessary for run time. But I can make time to visit the home of your pets for their comfort ability.
“Jillian was great! We had accidentally locked a cat in my daughters room and upon not being able to find her, Jillian messaged me and looked all over the house while I gave ideas where to look of her favorite hiding spots. We discovered the locked kitty and she was fine but you can really tell that Jillian genuinely cares for your animal’s well-being! Thank you Jillian!”
About: Hey, my name is Delaney. I am a college student attending Gannon University. I love animals and would have many of my own if was available 24 seven. However, since I am not, I would love to help take care of your pets! I am a full-time student and play a sport. However, I am free every night and my classes are very spread out. So I have lots of time to be at home taking care of everything. We don’t have any pets on the property. And there is a nice yard that is not fenced in, but when the pets are outside, I will be with them. I have a lot of space in the house and there is a park nearby for walks or fetch.
“Char was great. She dropped in to take care of my cats for two nights. She sent photos each night and gave an update. She couldn't find my one cat downstairs, so she went upstairs to find her (she was just sitting in her favorite window!) and she let me know they were all accounted for. Will book again!”
“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!!”
“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!”
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: 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.
“Phoebe really did an outstanding job taking care of our very shy cat. Nugget really opened up to her right away. Very conscientious and caring. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I have had pets for all of my life and have gained a wealth of experience along the way. For several years I worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I obtained the knowledge of light grooming, and administering medications such as insulin. During my time working at this facility I also learned how to handle pets that may be aggressive wether it was caused by food, toys, or anxiety. I currently have four dogs and two cats who I love dearly. I have also had the joy of taking care of many animals all the way from puppy/kitten hood all the way to the rainbow bridge. I know how hard it can be to find someone you can trust to care for your fuzzy family member, but I hope you can find that with me. If you have any questions please ask me and I will be happy to answer I am currently working as a shipping manager for a small factory but I would like to make caring for pets my full time job. I have an invisible fence with one and a half acres of area to roam. I have pet stairs leading to those hard to reach areas (like the couch or bed) for small or senior pets. I also have a cart to pull behind my bike if there are any pets that aren't so active but like fresh air. My cats enjoy the luxury of having their own bedroom so they can have peace from the dogs when needed. And of course I have a plethora of toys and treats. I am willing to make accommodations for special needs pets.
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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.
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.
