“Sirrine has house/dog sat for us twice & we couldn't be happier with her! Our pups are loved & well cared for when she's taking care of them & we have complete peace of mind leaving them and our home in her care. We always come home and the house seems like it is cleaner than when we left it lol! Sirrine always sends us update pics of our dogs while away as well so we can see they're being their normal, lazy selves. I highly recommend her for your house/pet sitting needs.”
“Kyra is an AMAZING GEM! My fur~babies enjoyed her and I love that I found someone whom I can trust. She will be my go-to. I do not need to look any further! She is a wonderful photographer as well. She took photos and continued yo keep me updated. Kyra is the REAL DEAL!”
About: ⭐️ MEET AND GREETS WITH NEW CLIENTS ⭐️ DETAILED updates with videos / photos ⭐️ extra treats and cuddles!!! I have hands on experience caring for both my own dogs, neighbors dogs while they’re away, and 6+ months on the rover app. I regularly care for my two best friends a Labrador named Luna and a Collie/Beagle mix named Maggie. handling their feeding, fresh water, medication/vitamins, playtime, and daily attention. With my new furry friends I’ve made I treat them with the same care as if they’re my own family. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely LOVE spending time with animals. I take pet safety seriously, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are gone. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible with me!! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside school. I attend school Monday through Friday (Sep-May) but I’m flexible to make your pets routine work for me! plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and safety guidelines. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I respect my client’s home, keep doors and gates secure, and prioritize the pet’s royal safety, comfort, and well-being in their palace at all times!
“LOVED! Was the first time I’ve used Courtney or anyone out side of family in years and I felt comfortable since day one and the pictures of my boys smiling throughout the whole stay just made it better! Will absolutely reach out to Courtney for my future needs”
“Lexie is awesome!!! She took great care of my English Bulldogs and provided pictures daily.She even went out of her way to check for packages that were being delivered while I was on vacation. I definitely recommend Lexie.”
About: I’m a dog mom myself and have been taking care of dogs (and occasionally cats) since I was a kid. I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own! I currently work part time and mostly from home, so I’ll have plenty of spare time to take care of your pets. My schedule is flexible, varies week to week, and is something I have control over to change as needed. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting in your home. I’m reliable and a dog mom myself, so I’ll treat your babies just like they’re my own.
“We could not have asked for a better sitter than Megan for our week-plus trip. Going in, we were honestly a little nervous — between our 3 dogs (1 German Shepherd and 2 Corgis) and 6 cats, it's a lot of personalities and needs to juggle — but Megan handled it like she'd been doing it for years. She sent check-ins every single day, complete with pictures and videos, so we never once wondered how everyone was doing. The dogs were brushed daily, walked, fed on schedule, and clearly happy and relaxed in every photo. The cats got just as much attention, which isn't always a given with a multi-pet household this size. She also stayed right on top of medicine and vitamins for the whole crew, never missing a dose — that alone takes a level of organization and trust we don't hand out lightly. What really stood out was the state of our house when we got home. It wasn't just "fine" — it was spotless, arguably cleaner than when we left. Litter boxes maintained, no messes left behind, everything tidy and put away. That level of care and respect for our home, on top of juggling 9 animals and their daily meds, says a lot about her reliability and work ethic. If you have a full house and want someone who treats your pets and your space like their own, book Megan. We'll absolutely be using her again.”
“We could not be more thrilled with Kimberly and we will 100% be calling her again. She is punctual and professional and asked great questions. She sent regular pictures and updates and even left a present for the pets when she left. She left the house spotless. She went above and beyond in every single way. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would.”
“Kori was super great, put my mind at ease as soon as he came over to meet my babies. He communicated and responded very clearly and professionally, will definitely be reaching out next time we go out of town!”
“Rebecca is an awesome sitter that prioritizes the comfort and routines of your animals. She connected w all of our dogs upon meeting them, and it was clear that they trusted her to care for them while we were away. She was great about keeping in touch and sending pics when we were missing our babies! Judging by the pics, they all had a lot of fun :) Def recommend, and hope to book her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’ve lived and cared for dogs, cats, and ferrets all throughout my life. I have also worked at a pet resort and volunteered at a pet rescue where I gained experience in dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, reptiles, and birds. I have experience with giving medications, maintaining (mostly kitty) boundaries, and strict feeding schedules. I also currently have one pitbull (my stepson) and two young 1-year-old kitties (my children) bestowed to me by the Cat Distribution System! However, I have to say I’m partial to small dogs since I grew up with Shih Tzu mixes! I love them all. I schedule my life around theirs. Their whole world is me, so I prioritize their needs. I’ll do whatever they need me to do, one example being I have to now take my cats on their own walks (harness-trained) because they get jealous of their dog sibling. I always offer companionship and play if that’s what the pet’s body language is giving me, or I can just be a warming presence who just provides food and cleanup. I’ve worked with dogs who need 6 walks a day and cats who you need an oven mitt before serving food. I go based off them!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized, patient approach and deep understanding of pets’ individual needs. I have experience with both high-energy puppies and senior pets who may need extra care, medication, or gentle handling. I’m trained in basic dog behavior and positive reinforcement techniques, which helps when managing training or adjusting to new routines. I also provide updates with photos and videos so you always feel connected to your pet while you're away. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own I have a lot of free time since I have been retired recently and I will love to care for your lovely pet if tou give me the opportunity I have fenced back yard , but I an care for your pet in your home ,so your baby will.not feel your absence, I will take excellent care
“I cannot say enough good things about Kylie. I got a good vibe from our first initial meeting and that stayed true throughout her stay. She took thorough notes during our meet and greet and asked me to review a few days later to see if anything needed to be added. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND everything I asked for. She stayed in constant communication and kept me updated for the 9 days I was gone and helped keep my mind at ease with my senior dog who can be needy. She cleaned up and vacuumed my house unsolicited and left the house just as clean as I left it like nobody had been there. She even finished drying some clothes I asked her to after I didn’t get to finish them before my trip and asked if it was okay to fold them. I would not hesitate to use her again for any pet sitting/walking services and she is by far the best sitter I’ve had”

About: From a young age i’ve always had a dog by my side! As I got older I got a puppy that I personally trained up until now. I’ve caught on to how dogs behave, warning signs and how to treat them. For the summer time I am available any portion of the day to come take care of your fuzzy friend! :) I have another job, but I still make time for my own dogs. However, I use more caution now because of the summer heat. Former school student who participated in afterschool clubs, volunteering and was in an agriculture program! My weekends are relatively free to come by as well as time for walks or check-ins in the evenings on weekdays. I have a fenced yard and two large dogs. They get lots of love daily, are very spoiled and get time at the park and their grandmothers home. I will take care of your dogs with the same amount of love as I do for mine!
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She cared for my 4 dogs as though they were her own. She was very communicative and I couldn’t be happier! I will definitely be using her in the future for my babies! Highly recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Harmaston is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harmaston
Over the past six months, Sirrine was a consistent source of care for my senior dog, Gordon, during his final chapter of life. She was always flexible with scheduling, whether I reached out well in advance or needed help on shorter notice. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind whenever I was away. I'm truly grateful for the care, reliability, and kindness she showed Gordy throughout those months, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.
Kira was great with the dogs for an extended weekend. She had a bit of a conflict due to her flight schedule but she communicated beautifully during the whole thing. I very much appreciated this as I made alternate arrangements for the time she was out. Additionally, my elder dog vomited on the carpet while she was there. Kira cleaned the spot so well I can’t even tell where it was! Loved having her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Harmaston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harmaston on Rover is $49.95 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 3,301 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harmaston. 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 Harmaston 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 Harmaston 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 Harmaston 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 Harmaston. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
