“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!”
“Lauren is fantastic! She watched our two cats for a long week, and she kept us up-to-date on who she did or didn’t see; sent photos when possible; cleaned the litter box and gave fresh water daily; and was very reliable and great at communicating!”
“Heather was absolutely fabulous and will 100% be booking her the next time I am out of town! As this was my first time leaving my kittens for multiple days I was a bit nervous, but Heather did a phenomenal job calming my nerves and taking care of the kitties. She sent a plethora of photos and videos and recounted a detailed account of each visit. She was incredibly kind both with her care and her communications with me. Highly recommend booking her to watch your pets, you will not regret it!”

About: I am a mature, responsible, animal lover. I have had dogs and cats pretty much all my life. I currently have 3 senior dogs of my own, and I dote on them like they are my children. I truly believe that pets are important family members, and they deserve all of the love and attention that we can provide. I do currently work full time, but I have free time in the evenings and on the weekends. I am also close to retirement, which will allow me more time to provide pet care I can provide care in your home. I can provide potty breaks, play time, walking, and feeding. I love being around animals and spoiling them with love and affection.
“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.”
“Emma has always been wonderful with our dog. We are glad to have found her. We are sorry that we can no longer schedule her because we are moving out of town on June 30. Thank you so much Emma!”
“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 had many different pets in my life including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, hedgehogs and reptiles which I’ve helped take care of. I’ve done 1000 hours of pet sitting for many of my family members and friends . I’m in college with a pre-vet focus and love all animals. I also have experience shadowing doctors and working in the vet-med field at a vaccine clinic. I would love to take care of your pets while you’re away. I have time in the morning Monday-Friday until 11 or 12 as well as late at night to check in on and walk your pets I love walking the dogs and am meticulous about following the owner’s instructions. I love to send pictures and will take the dog to the park or other adventures if approved by the owner.
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.
“Jillian did an excellent job taking care of my littles while I was away. You can see in her face how much she truly cares for and loves animals. I look forward to having her take care of them again!”
“Alexandra is a great dog sitter . She is courteous on time and very pleasant and did a great job watching our golden retriever Jax .Alex kept us updated on how Jax was doing and also sent us pictures .We would use her again and highly recommend her to our friends and family thanks Patty S”
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.
About: I’m reliable, active, and patient, and I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, puppies who need structure, and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra care. My goal is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Being a pet caretaker fits into my daily routine because I am able to work from home. This allows me the ability for check-ins/walks and for the consistency that a pet owner needs when they are away. In a client’s home, I follow the owner’s routine closely so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I can help with feeding, water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. I’ll also respect the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet is cared for before I leave.
“She is awesome. Jasper was well taken care of. I will use her again. Elizabeth is a kind, happy young lady who truly loves animals. It was a pleasure to meet her. Reliable / Trustworthy / Fair. I sis not have to worry about Jasper while I was away from home.”
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!
“Rori was a fantastic dog-sitter. She was prompt, friendly and paid close attention to detail. Our dogs also enjoyed seeing her! We knew our dogs were in very capable hands while we were away for the holidays and we would definitely recommend Rori to others searching for a sitter on Rover!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Erie on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 177 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Erie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
