“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals ever since I was a child including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have extensive experience in handling and caretaking of dogs. I am available any day of the week at this time. I can board, walk and sit for animals in my home or their owner’s homes. My first and foremost concern is the animals wellbeing. So I can go to their home if that’s the best option for them and the owner. I can also board in my home. I currently have 1 senior cat who is rather shy but has been around dogs and other cats in the past. I have a big yard where I can take and walk dogs outside to play and exercise. I could also crate if it’s needed.
“I can't say enough good things about Logan S. First off, he bailed us out from a desperate situation as our original dog sitter bailed on us the week of our daughter's wedding. With that being said, his professionalism is unmatched. He made the time to come and meet our dogs before accepting the job and kept sending us updates and pictures the entire time we were gone, to give us peace of mind, knowing we had never left our dogs with anyone besides family. He followed all the directions specific to our dogs to a tee. Best of all, our dogs LOVED him. We will DEFINITELY hire him again and can't recommend him enough to anyone in need of a sitter”

“Lori has an excellent touch with animals. She took the time on the initial meet and greet to meet our dogs, ask questions about their habits, likes and dislikes. I was super thrilled that she was interested to know their usual walking routes. She sent periodic check-ins to let us know all was going well. She was clearly able to think on her feet and remembered the added directions I left to help her out through an unexpected challenge. I will definitely be hiring Lori again. She is very kind. My gods were very comfortable having her stay with them in our absence.”

About: I’ve owned several dogs/cats since I was a child, bathing them, cleaning up after them, medicating them, and playing/walking them. I now work at a vet clinic, where all or my knowledge has come from. I’m currently working full time at a vet clinic, this is more as needed and affordable. I’m willing to stop by prior to and after work as well as stay on my days off. We can discuss further and if too busy for your kiddos I won’t be offended. I plan to care for you pet as you do at home, including play time, feedings, medications, and outside time. If you are working on training, I can provide some help with that while you are gone (just let me know of instructions).
About: Hey, I'm Kelly! I've dog-sat for friends over the years for various lengths of time, getting to know many different breeds and their unique personalities. I genuinely love dogs and focus not just on their basic needs, but also on engaging with them and providing a fun environment. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced, and fun-loving dog sitter, I'm your person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home, which means plenty of time to hang with dogs. Whether it's walk time, feed time, or just chill time, I've got it covered. Love having a furry friend around to make the workday better. I've got a great setup at home for dogs – a fenced backyard for them to run around in and tons of toys for playtime. Your dog will have the freedom to explore and play in a secure environment, and I'll always be there to keep an eye on them. So, while you're away, they'll be having their own little fun-filled vacation at my place.
“Matt took phenomenal care of our two pups while we were away. He was extremely communicative and got them both tons of exercise and play. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for the best care for their pets!!”

“Brittney was truly the best!!! She kept us updated every day, multiple times a day, with pictures and messages about our 3 kitties. She went above and beyond for us and put our mind at ease while we were away for the weekend. We couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.”

“Eileen was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Maeva, Maude, and Vito, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent so many photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious they were well cared for and loved.❤️ She also left my home spotless, which I really appreciated. I’m so thankful I found her and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I was raised on an animal farm so my family has had almost every animal you can think of! I love animals so much & I would love to help take care of your furry friend while they are waiting for your return :) I will try my best to work with your schedule! Right now, my job is flexible, so figured this would be another great flexible part time job have :) I don't mind coming to your house if it’s easier! OR they are free to roam my clean house! Each week is relaxing but I can honestly say that having so much free time can be boring so this would be a lovely addition to my weekly routine. I let your dog snuggle with me and watch movies if they like! If they aren’t a snuggle bunny then they can roam my house and choose a cozy section their prefer!

About: I've taken care of cats and several types of dogs, mostly of the large kind, for friends and family as well as raising many kittens in my own home. I have experience with all ages of dogs and am comfortable with high energy dogs as long as they don't have aggressive tendencies. I have worked on some (very) basic dog training, but nothing at all professional. I have also had and taken care of ducks, chickens, rabbits and fish. If you need a companion for your pet, I would love to be of service for you! I am currently unemployed and living at home, so any schedule you would like for your animals while I'm there with them, I am able to do! I'm happy to take dogs for walks, play with cats, or whatever you need me to do for their schedules.:) I will be respectful of whatever boundaries you have for your home, or with your pets. I am happy to care and be involved with your pets in whatever way you need. I am patient with animals that take a bit of time to warm up to more people, so don't worry about being offended. I will always have the best interest of you and your pet in mind while I am on the job.:)

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 14 and I've owned 2 pitbull mixes so I am good with big dogs aswell! I've pet sat for senior dogs and I've pet sat for puppies aswell! My schedule is wide open!! I have all the time in the world to take care of your furry friends! And I am extremely flexible with extentions! I refer to the clients needs multiple times throughout the service being provided, I understand the stress that comes with leaving your baby in the hands of another and I will share my number with you and send you multiple photos of your pet during the service

“Noelle is great and goes above and beyond. She stayed with my two dogs for multiple nights which is not easy. My dogs are lovable but they are rescues who were abused so they have behavioral issues. Noelle wasn’t worried and came to spend time with them ahead of our travel to ensure she understood their challenges and learned how to handle them. One of my dogs is people selective but loved Noelle from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She even worked on some training techniques with them during her stay. She is a true animal lover and it’s evident in her care towards all animals, treating them as her own. I highly recommend her!”


About: About Me 🐾 Hi!! I’m a 30-year-old elementary school teacher who absolutely loves animals 💛 I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life—it’s something that just comes naturally to me! I’ve had the opportunity to dog sit for a few wonderful families (including one with both dogs and a cat!), and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, loves to cuddle, or prefers a calm and cozy environment, I’m happy to match their energy and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and very trustworthy. Families trust me every day with their children, and I bring that same level of care and dependability when looking after pets. I understand how important routines are and how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone—and I don’t take that lightly. I will treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and so well cared for while you’re away. My Experience 🐶🐱 - Grew up on a farm (lots of hands-on animal care!) - Dog sitting experience with multiple families - Experience caring for both dogs and cats in the same home - Comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and routines A Little Extra 🐾 I love sending updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you always feel connected and reassured 😊 Availability 🐾 I’m available for pet care before and after school during the week, which works great for morning visits, walks, or evening check-ins. As a teacher, I have a consistent daily schedule, so you can count on me to be dependable and on time. I’m also open to weekend care when my schedule allows—feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate! Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. As a teacher, I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and doing well 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Harford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harford on Rover is $49.91 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 172 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Harford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Harford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Harford 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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harford. On Rover:
- 73% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
