“I would highly recommend Kiana to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Based on the photos she sent and how happy our dog and cat were when we got home, I know they had a great time with her. Her communication was excellent from the first contact through to us returning home. And our house looked exactly as we left it - it’s so good to come home to a clean house and happy pets. Thank you, Kiana!”
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“I couldn’t recommend Jamie more! Jamie watched our cats and dog while we traveled and it was one of the first times that my husband and I were able to actually relax and forget about our pets, rather than worry about them with a sitter! Jamie was communicative, punctual, and warm. He sent pictures and updates and I felt comfortable asking for any needs that popped up throughout our time away! Jamie will be the first person I contact for our future house sitting needs. Thank you so much Jamie- excited for you to see the babies again!”
“Kieran did a great job taking care of my aging dog. Everything was left neat and tidy around the house and my pooch seemed calm and centered upon our return. I would ask her to house sit again for sure!”
About: I bring over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience across long-term house sitting, international shelter work, and specialized medical care. My background includes a 6-month, full-time house sit caring for three dogs and two cats, where I managed strict health regimens—including administering medications every 2 hours at precise times for a dog with a neurological seizure disorder, treating skin conditions and wounds, and managing flea care. I am trained in emergency response and comfortable handling complex medical schedules. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a shelter in India caring for 60+ dogs, providing physical therapy to paralyzed dogs, assistance with vaccinations, behavioral training, and custom dietary meal prep. Locally, I volunteered at Multnomah County Animal Services, completing intensive training in medication administration and enrichment. I'm certified in Pet First Aid through American Red Cross. Through TrustedHousesitters and caring for friends' pets, I regularly handle multi-week stays for both dogs and cats, ensuring consistent routines, high-level medical attentiveness, and dedicated care. As a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the dedicated attention they deserve. I am available for long-term house sitting, weekend stays, and drop-in visits or walks any day between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. I prioritize safe, precise, and low-stress care above all else. Certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid, I am fully equipped to administer oral and topical medications, handle intensive wound care, and maintain extensive care schedules. Because I specialize in caring for anxious cats and special needs pets, I maintain a calm, quiet, and secure environment tailored to your pet's specific routine and comfort level.
“Frank took great care of my older dog while I was away for the weekend. They were thorough and thoughtful and sent great photo updates. I would recommend booking with them!”
“Lucinda took great care of our home and pets while we were away on vacation. She was prompt in responding to our texts and sent plenty of updates and photos. We will book with Lucinda again!”
“Carly took unbelievably loving and conscientious care of our small dog and large cat for an extended weekend. She gave us frequent updates with sweet pictures, asked us thoughtful clarifying questions about their feeding and care, and left the house absolutely immaculate. We are incredibly moved and will be booking Carly again!”
“Alicia is the best! She takes very good care of our dog as well as our house while we are out of town. She communicates regularly and sends adorable pictures of our pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Heather was fabulous! She stayed at our house with our 4 month old, high energy puppy - and I know he kept her busy! She spent a lot of time taking him on walks, playing with him and redirecting his wild puppy behavior. She was very communicative with lots of sweet updates, and took the time to come meet Ralph and spend time with him before her stay. Our house was left in perfect shape, and our pup is happy and tired. We’ll definitely be asking her back!”
“Momo is amazing! She took such great care of Anouk and Klaus— treating them to long walks and lots of attention. Staying on a routine is the best things for my pups, and Momo honored that and more! She’s also a great communicator which gave us extra peace of mind while we were both traveling. I HIGHLY recommend Momo!”
“mackenzie was so great with my dog, she was thorough and proactive in making sure kane would be as comfortable as possible during their time together. highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Elinor! She sent me daily updates and a few extra videos when I was really missing my dog. I had so much peace of mind knowing she is a vet tech but absolutely nothing went wrong.”
“Tabitha was kind, caring, and loving of our pets! She was very attentive to their personalities and sent us lots of photos, which we always appreciate when away from home. Would 100% recommend Tabitha to anyone!”
“Janelle took amazing care of my cat! Lots of picture and video updates and went above and beyond with taking care of her and my place where she stayed. She’s very attentive and her love for animals is very apparent. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs that both required medication, as well as for bunnies, cows, and chickens. I don’t have any specific certifications besides many years caring for different kinds of people and different kinds of pets. :) Hello! I currently live in Corvallis Oregon but I work remotely and love to be in Portland! I have flexibility to work from home but I do like to work at a coffee shop etc. my daily routine is a little different every day which gives me a little more flexibility for care although I do tend to socialize out of the house often. Also I house sit to be near friends and family and occasionally may have a visitor. If your animals are nervous around visitors I understand if I’m not the best fit! Happy to chat and see what your house and pets needs may be! Because the family I live with in Corvallis has a cat and a dog and no fence, I cannot bring animals to my home, but I can provide care via drop ins and/or house sitting.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Harmony is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harmony
Kieran was so lovely and kind to our dog who is very sweet but suffers from anxiety. I’ve never seen our dog take to someone new so quickly. We instantly knew our dog was in great hands and that allowed us to enjoy our wedding weekend. Thank you again, Kieran!
Jackson is the best! I’ve got a senior pup and a lot of anxiety around her health and Jackson was super helpful- reassured me, asked great questions, sent updates, pictures, etc. He also checked in about how much communication I wanted, which was helpful. He’s gentle, kind, and super easy to work with. I felt totally safe leaving my little girl in his care. Thank you, Jackson! Looking forward to working with you again!
Addy took exceptional care of our dogs and home while we were away for a long weekend. She brings genuine warmth and confidence to her work, and we had complete peace of mind throughout our trip. Her check-ins were always on time, and it was such a treat to receive photos of our happy pups. We came home to well-cared-for dogs and a tidy home. We couldn’t recommend Addy more highly!
Erin really helped us out this weekend! They were able to come meet our big and elderly dog, Tallulah, then take care of her for an overnight. Tallulah needs medications, special food, and extra time moving around and Erin took care of everything, leaving us a carefree night out of town. Will definitely book with Erin again!
So happy to have found Vanessa! She took such good care of our cat Rupi while we were gone for the week. He warmed up to her super quickly, which doesn’t always happen, and was even cuddling her and sleeping next to her at night from day one. She was super communicative and thoughtful in her care for him and our house. We will absolutely be booking her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Harmony is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $65 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Harmony 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 Harmony 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 Harmony 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
