“Ally is a professional in every way! She is communicative and responsive, flexible, and took such good care of our animals and home while we were away! I got lots of pupdates and when we returned, our dog and rabbit were happy and relaxed, like we never left!! She also left the house clean and everything looked great. I would highly recommend Ally for pet/house sitting! 10/10!!!”
“Jan is an exceptional dog sitter!! From our very first meeting, I was very impressed as Jan arrived with a notepad and pen ready to take notes about our dogs and their routines. At that moment, I knew she was the right person to care for our three dogs. Jan has such a kind, loving and gental spirit. She was incredibly loving and caring with all of our dogs, especially our senior dog. She followed all of our instructions, was punctual, communicative, and truly went above and beyond our expectations. We were so happy with the care she provided that we've already booked her again for our trip in August, and we plan to use her for all of our future trips. I highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She is absolutely wonderful!”
“Kaylee was fabulous house/pet sitting with our 2 dogs and 4 cats for four days. Followed instructions to the ‘T’ and went above beyond; very communicative and reassuring.”
“Paula was everything we could ask for in a pet sitter! She had great communication and was super friendly and bonded with our pup right away. We felt so confident having her in our home for a week and taking excellent care of our little guy while we were away. She was very respectful of our home and sent photos/videos of our pup to keep us updated. I would hire Paula again and again. She is wonderful!”
“This was our first time using Rover to find someone to watch our pups while we were on vacation and Brooke was amazing! She was very communicative with me before and after she stayed at our house, which made us feel so much more at ease. Our dogs are pretty easy to take care of, but one of them is an old guy so finding someone who could administer medication and tend to him was very important. She did a great job. I hope our paths cross again sometime in the future and I 10/10 recommend Brooke!!”
“Brittany was great! My dog took to her calm kindness right away! I had no trouble separating to go out. Kona (my dog) welcomed her right back again. What more can you ask for? I would definitely work with Brittany again. Thank you!”
“Nicole has been such an amazing sitter we went to seven feathers for my grandma’s birthday and she just amazes me she is just the best person to have at ur house watch your animals I would recommend her to anybody!! I’m so happy I never had to get a pet sitter but we were just blown away with her and her service the way she just handled everything was amazing! 100/100 couldn’t be happier with her service!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ she’s just so uplifting and has such great energy thank you Nicole for everything”
“Angelica was great! She communicated with us prior and during the house stay and set clear expectations. This was our first time doing house sitting and we were thrilled! Our pups are terrified of fireworks and she sent plenty of pics of them cuddled up with her relaxing. Overall a great experience with someone that you can tell loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”
“Lily did a great job taking care of our dog, Watson and our kitty, Holmes. She kept us up to date each day and sent us photos of our sweet fur babies. We left a very detailed (i.e., long) list of our needy, routine-oriented pets' peculiarities and she followed it perfectly. Everything was exactly like we left it. Thanks, Lily for helping us out--we were nervous using Rover for the first time, but you made it so easy.”

About: I started taking care of animals when I was really young I think around 6 years old I would take care of my neighbor's dog was a little Pomeranian when they would go places. Also my neighbor had a Irish setter that I would go visit all the time and she would give me a dollar to walk her around the block or talking at least 48 years ago and I still remember it to this day it was one of the best times in my life when I was young. I think I've decided that I want to dedicate my life to this I mean what's left of it anyway lol I've been working with people most of my life and I thought I'd give this a try so daily routine and weekly routine would be up to the customer and it would be your preference after all you're the boss right? I've been a caregiver since 1998 of people I had five background checks last year for the state of Oregon I work for Oregon health Care commission and I'm a caregiver I passed five of them so you would not have to worry about me being in your home I would offer the services that you were requesting and you would also go beyond even more than what you would expect I think I would be a good fit with for anybody I'm an older lady and I've got a lot of grandchildren so I figured taking care of your for a babies and I would treat them like my grandbabies or you would say fur babies. Customer would be my boss so therefore I would do what they would ask.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Whenever my parents need it I care for their elderly lab mix. Also, I had a dog I loved dearly who I lived with and loved for 6 years. He was an Aussie collie named Buddy and I miss him dearly. Every dog I watch now I care for with the same gentleness and patience I treated him with. Pet care is my full time job currently. I am quick and responsive. I’m very eager and available to spend some time with a dog or cat I am not currently living somewhere where I can host boardings, but I hope to in the very near future, as I am moving at the end of the month
“Jeanne graciously accepted my last minute request to care for my house & 2 cats. Jeanne's experience was readily apparent which put me at ease. Once home everything was just as I left it & my kids/cats were happy & healthy. I would not hesitate to book with Jeanne again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, and pet-sitting professionally for over 10 years now. I am particularly experienced and confident in caring for senior animals, pets needing medication, and those who are particularly shy or need that extra emotional consideration. You'll notice me take the extra time to get to know your pet and the nuances of their personality and needs. I offer animals the slowness and presence needed for deep listening and attunement: two qualities that help build trust. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and good at communication. I'm used to planning my schedule and time around the needs of the animals I'm caring for, and am always ready to apply my extensive knowledge for unexpected situations that may arise. Some of my recent clients include a rowdy pack of 5 dogs of various size and breed, a senior cat with hyperthyroidism who switches her food preferences daily, a blind and deaf senior dog who loves to play, and a farm sanctuary with over 20 animals, including pigs rescued from a neglect situation and feral cats being socialized for the first time. If your animal needs a bit more time and care to feel comfortable around someone new, takes medication or is navigating ongoing health conditions, or is at higher likelihood of needing veterinarian intervention while you're away, these are situations where I have both experience and confidence. For me, animal care isn't just about completing all the tasks that need to be done for the well-being of our animal family members. It's about creating a relationship of trust with the animals relying on me, as well as their human guardians. Entrusting your beloved pet to another person, as well as opening your home to them, is something you deserve to feel secure and confident in. And your pet deserves to feel truly cared for, understood, and prioritized while you're away. With my years of experience both personally and professionally, and my special skills for medical and emotional complexity, I know I can provide a pet-care experience where trust flows in all directions. Pet-care is my main job (and joy) which I orient the rest of my living schedule around. I have lots of flexibility to form my schedule around your animal's needs. My most commonly booked form of pet-sitting is overnight care in the pet's home. This can put the pets at ease and lets them maintain their usual routines. Having years of experience with overnight stays, I am diligent and thorough when it comes to keeping your home and animal family safe: I always lock all doors and windows when I am away, unless given different instruction. I am always aware of closing doors and gates behind me so no pets can escape. I also offer visits / drop-ins throughout the day, and am consistent and timely in these visits.
About: I’m experienced in caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I love walking dogs, teaching them new tricks and words and most of all play time outdoors. I will give them all the love while you’re away. I am a homemaker with free availability, I am usually home meal prepping or tending to the garden. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a home with a large fenced yard in NW Albany. I have two doodles in my home. We spend a lot of time outdoors especially in the morning. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 354 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harlan. 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 Harlan 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 Harlan 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 Harlan 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.
