“Amy is the best! Great communication and she helped us with a few house issues while we were away too. We felt great knowing our fur baby was in good hands. We’ll definitely book Amy again!!!!”
“We had reached out to Kirstin last minute and she could not have been nicer or more accommodating plus she was great with our silly boy, Mosley. She sent us updates and pictures each time she dropped in for a visit. Her communication regarding Mo was just what we needed to feel comfortable, that he was being well taken care of while we were away. Additionally, Kirstin was quick to respond to all of our messages (before, during and after our trip). We highly recommend Kirstins’ pet sitting services and look forward to booking with her again in the near future! Thanks Kirstin!🐾”
About: A lifelong dog lover with over nine years of personal experience raising my own pup and five years of dedicated dog‑sitting for friends and families. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m currently available throughout the entire week, including weekends, and can accommodate a wide range of schedules. Early‑morning drop‑offs work perfectly for me, and I’m happy to provide flexible timing to make your routine as smooth and stress‑free as possible. I have a huge fenced in yard and have easy access to private trails by the home and the have no other pets at home.
“Lexi was fantastic sitting my 2 very picky kitties. Truly appreciate you and John looking after them and taking great care of my babies!! Will definitely ask again next year and hope you’ll be available! Thank you!!”
About: 1) Experienced with dogs of all personalities and temperaments through several years of volunteering at Dogtown Rescue, where I learned how to safely handle dogs with different energy levels, behaviors, and needs. 2) Safety is always my top priority. I’m extremely attentive on walks and proactively avoid situations that could cause stress or unsafe interactions with unfamiliar dogs. 3) Detail-oriented and careful. Before every walk, I check that harnesses, collars, and leashes are properly fitted and secure to help keep your pet safe. 4) Patient and calm approach. I understand that every dog is different and take the time to make them feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. 5) I treat every pet like my own, providing dependable, loving care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands. I currently have a hybrid job so I am able to provide care on various days and various times throughout the week. I also have flexibility weekends as I am often local. Prior to letting a dog out, I will always double check that fences and gates are properly closed. Additionally, prior to walks I always ensure that harnesses and leashes are properly working.
“Brooke did an amazing job with drop in visits for our 3 poodles. She provided check-ins with photos and notes on how they were doing. I was able to enjoy the wedding and know they were well cared for. We definitely will use Brooke again!”

I also pay close attention to routines and instructions so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that keeps pets happy and stress-free.

I’ll also keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, pay close attention during walks and playtime, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Kevin is great! He took care of our two dogs over a holiday and was right on time, always left an update, and the dogs seem to be happy! I would recommend Kevin to take care of anybody’s pets.”

“Erin was great for us. We had never used Rover before booking with Erin so we were not sure what to expect but she went over everything before hand and set up a meet and greet which was very reassuring. Erin was super thoughtful and thorough throughout which was very much appreciated. We would absolutely rebook with Erin in the future as she was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was just 6 years old—whether it was my own pup or a neighbor’s. That early experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different personalities in dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with puppies who need consistency and training, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy every time we’re together. As a full-time student, I’ve built my schedule to make plenty of room for pet care. I’m available on weekdays after 5 PM, which is perfect for evening walks or playtime. Fridays I’m completely free in both the morning and evening, and I’m totally available on weekends. This flexibility allows me to give your pets the time, energy, and attention they deserve—whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routines, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. I always double-check doors, leashes, and gates to ensure pets stay safe. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect as I do my own.
“Tricia was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our fur babies while we were out of town. She administered medicine for our elderly German Shepherd and is great with pets that require special care. We are really grateful to have someone dependable, like Tricia, to watch them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young. I currently have two dogs of my own: a Yorkie and a French Bulldog. I love taking care of dogs! I currently have some extra time on my hands because I’m working a part-time job. I love taking care of animals, so if it works with my schedule, I’ll definitely do it! I have a fenced-in yard where I keep two dogs. Since I live on the first floor of a duplex, I make sure to keep my house very clean and tidy.

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 Harleysville 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 Harleysville 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 Harleysville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
