About: I have experience with all ages and sizes. As well as medical needs and administrating medicine! I've worked with high energy working breeds (previous Malinois owner), couch potatoes, and everything in between. currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility, meaning more time that I can spend with your baby! Im available Mon-Fri, with an exception for some weekends. My last dog was a Boston Terrier mix, that girl loved nothing more than to eat and hangout on the couch. With the occasional fetch with her favorite frisbee. Before Gracie, I had a Belgian Malinois named Rosie. Our days were mainly spent outside digging, racing, playing fetch and anything else she wanted to do. I currently have two cats, our days are filled with cuddles, playtime, bird watching, and 3am zoomies. So, whichever vibe your sweet baby enjoys and thrives in i’ll be right there enjoying it with them!

About: I’ve loved all animals my entire life. We’ve had many family dogs I’ve been around and now I have my own! Our girl is a 3 year old golden retriever that we’ve had since she was 8 weeks old! I’ve also previously pet sat multiple times for friends and family - including my in-laws pup who had health problems. I’m very easy going and I’m great with being around cats and dogs! I’m a new stay at home mom (as well as a photographer) which means I have a super flexible schedule! I am able to work around most schedules during the week because of my newly found flexibility. I have a fenced in yard, with a friendly golden retriever and golden doodle! However I’d prefer to come to your home to play with your animals!

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs! As a proud golden retriever owner, I understand that our pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. ❤️ Along with caring for my own dog, I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, providing everything from daily walks, feeding, and playtime to more specialized care. I also have hands-on experience caring for sick dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications, giving injections, and monitoring their health and comfort. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and following each pet’s individual care routine. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone else with your furry family member, especially when they require extra attention. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup needs extra medical attention, plenty of playtime, or just someone to snuggle with, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own! 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to offer pet care throughout the week, including weekends! Whether you need someone to stop by while you’re at work, take your pup for a walk, or stay overnight while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every household has a different routine, and I’m always willing to coordinate schedules to find what works best for you and your pets! I believe the best pet care starts with understanding each animal’s personality, boundaries, and daily routine. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn about their habits, any behavioral concerns, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will always keep you updated! This is very important to me, as I’d want my dog and I to be treated the same. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of our surroundings, and avoiding potentially unsafe situations. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’m mindful of securing doors, following household instructions, and keeping your pet’s environment clean and comfortable. Communication is also important to me! I’ll keep you informed with updates and photos, and I’ll never hesitate to reach out if I notice something unusual or have a question about your pet’s care.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Erie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Erie is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 164 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Erie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Erie. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Erie after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Erie. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
