“Amir was a fantastic house sitter. He cared for our reactive dog, two cats, and home for over a week, providing them with plenty of companionship and attention. He stayed extended hours during the day, watered our plants, took out the trash, and left thoughtful touches like washing the sheets and cleaning up pet hair before we returned. We came home to a clean, calm house and happy pets—highly recommend!”
“Tiana was amazing! She provided us with a lot of updates and had great communication around how it was going. She followed our instructions as requested. She knew we were getting home super late and was kind enough to change our sheets (on top of leaving our home spotless). The quality of care and little touches like that mean so much. I highly recommend Tiana!”
“Mandy was great with my 2 boys! I could tell when I returned they were relaxed and well taken care of. She sent lots of cute updates throughout the week, and left the house clean :) We felt at ease knowing she was taking good care of them. Thanks Mandy!”
“Emily hands down blew away our expectations. She is kind, prompt, and professional. Our dogs and house were cleaner than we left it. Our pets were happy and safe while we were away and we didn’t have to worry at all. I would recommend Emily for all your pet sitting needs!! She’s amazing!”
“Jayne house-sat for me and watched my two dogs and cat, who are all fairly high maintenance. She did an excellent job. I got plenty of pictures and videos, and the animals were happy. They got lots of exercise and play time. I’ll definitely have Jayne help me again in the future.”
“Absolutely the best. Tayler was super responsive and made our first experience with Rover incredible. She provided us with some many pictures and updates and our girls loved her. Will 100% be using her services again!”
About: Despite being the oldest of two, my parents' first baby was their basset hound, Ginger, adopted as a puppy. So, it should come as no surprise that I grew up understanding that our dogs are equal members of the family. I grew up in Massachusetts alongside our dogs Fiona (a rescue flat coat retriever) and Blu (a rescue basset hound). Fiona and Blu were like sisters to me: them and my sister and I all squished into the backseats of our family car for roadtrips, I came to understand my own anxiety seeing it in Fiona (who, as a rescue, has always been a bit nervous around people or loud noises), and I spent many summers in the backyard running around or lounging in the sun with Blu. My relationships with Fiona and Blu are what allow me to confidently tell you I adore dogs as companions and as unbelievably kind and smart creatures. In caring for your dog(s), I not only bring a deep awareness of how important they are to you, but also an excitement to build my own relationship with your pet and to enrich their lives! In caring for Fiona and Blu in their later years, I know a lot about senior dog care and how to administer medicine to dogs. I also love going on long (or quick!) dog walks and spending time playing with dogs. I also have extensive experience dog walking, sitting, and house sitting with a dog during my time working with dogs and cats while living in San Francisco this year. While caring for your dog, I always adjust my care to their individual specific needs! If you have a high energy dog who pulls, I try my best to sprint or run with them for a few blocks so they can get that energy out. If your dog has a pre-walk or post-walk ritual (treats, belly rubs, practicing commands), I've got it! If your dog needs breaks and water during the walk, I will rest with them and get them a drink until they're ready to go again. Following each sit or walk, I will provide you the pet parent with a detailed note about my time with your pup, telling little stories from our walk and some of their silly behavior, as well as taking photos of them walking and playing. :) I love dogs! I hope to meet yours soon and get to know them. <3 I have just moved cross country to SE Portland and am excited to start providing petcare full-time here! I have open availability to any time on weekdays. I love starting my day with a refreshing morning dog walk just as much as I enjoy an evening walk before your pet (and I) go to sleep. I especially would love to find some repeating weekly or daily walks, but am also beyond happy to provide care for one time sits as well! I accept house sits on a case-by-case basis (usually for less than a week or for high pay); since I've just moved to Portland, I want to settle into my new home a bit more before I am staying for extended periods of time at other houses. I am incredibly devoted to you and your pets' needs, whatever they may be! I will carefully follow any guidelines for watching your dog and how to be with and care for your dog in your home. I am reliable and both know how to problem solve on my own and know when to contact you and communicate a question or situation at hand for your input. Above all, the way I care for your pet follows the way you want me to care for them! Whether this is walking or playing with them until they tire out, or providing company during your work day by sitting with them and reading a book. Following each of my petcare visits, I provide a detailed note about my time with your pet. I will give a play-by-play of what happened from when I first arrive to when I say goodbye and give the little story of any silly or cute behavior your pet got up to during our time together!
“Kieran was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. He took the time to come by beforehand to meet both dogs and even walked my feisty little dog ahead of my trip—which made all of us feel comfortable right away. While I was away, Kieran kept me at ease with regular check-ins, photos, and quick responses whenever I had questions. I came home to two very happy dogs—and a house that looked exactly the same as I left it, which I truly appreciate. There was even a five-hour power outage while I was gone, and he handled it without a single complaint. On top of that, Kieran made sure my plants were watered during a stretch of 90-degree weather—definitely going above and beyond. Kieran has such a calm, easygoing demeanor, and I felt completely secure having them in my home. I will absolutely be hiring Kieran again and look forward to working with them throughout the coming year.”
“Katherine was outstanding caring for our big guy for 4 days while we were out of town. She was easy and clear to communicate with, quick to respond to texts, and our pup did really well with her. She even vacuumed our fur-filled carpet! Highly recommend Katherine for housesitting.”
“Mackenzie did a terrific job of taking care of my elderly cat Mia. She sent frequent updates and lots of good photos and Mia really took to her which doesn’t always happen. Great sitter, I would definitely recommend and would hire Mackenzie again!”
“Kaylee was great! My pups have some special needs and are not the.best rained. Kaylee did a fantastic job making them feel safe and happy. I will definitely look to book Kaylee again!”
“Camille and Shayla were extremely kind and attentive during their sit with us. They were kind enough to accept a pretty last minute request for an almost 2 week house sit with my babies. They updated me almost daily with pictures and information about the animals. I felt super comfortable and confident with their sit and it made for a very relaxing vacation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking pet sitting.”
“Our first time with Celeste and we were very happy with her care of our fur kids. She took care of our two old pups - one who loves everyone and one who is less than thrilled with humans in general. The grumpy guy even liked her. And our three-legged cat was happy too. We got photos and videos daily, and everyone seemed happy and content. We will definitely have Celeste over again.”
“Alicia provided amazing in home care for my 2 dogs. She is very professional, friendly and seems to genuinely love spending time engaging and caring for dogs. She proactively shared daily updates of their adventures and included some incredible photos.”
“Zach house sat while I was away and took very good care of my dogs. I got updates and pictures . Very respectful and thoughtful with his services. I highly recommend him for your dog care needs.”
“This is my first time ever using rover and I was looking for a last minute pet sitter for my anxious dog. Cedric was great, easy to work with, and left my apartment without a trace! Cedric lives up to all their reviews and I would highly recommend for all your pet needs!”
“Donna is wonderful as always. She is the best sitter I have ever found! Siena, our dog, is always in high spirits when we come home and the house is even better than we left it.”
“Alex took great care of Parker on their overnight stay together. She arrived on time and sent cute pics the next day. Would recommend her. Parker was safe and well cared for. Thanks Alex!”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving the pets at home and Frank did a great job! We returned to happy pets and a home exactly as we left it. Frank was professional and responsive and even went the extra mile to find a replacement stuffed animal for my daughter for one that our puppy destroyed. A great experience overall!”
“She was so great. Dogs were really happy and she even trimmed our doodles eyes so she could see. We are behind schedule for her grooming. :) Would have her again anytime we need to seek out a dog sitter again in future if she’d have us as clients again 🦋”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Harmony is $55

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!
Angela was great with our 3 small dogs aged 9 mos to 15 years. Our overnight get-away was much more relaxing knowing they were in her experienced care. She also helped us out with our chickens which we really appreciated. Angela sent us updates and photos throughout her stay, letting us know how the dogs were doing. She was particularly attentive to the needs of our senior dog which was very kind and thoughtful. We would love to book Angela again.
Wonderful as always! this was a repeat petsitting gig because my cat was very well cared for the first time around :) Shelly is trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and always goes above and beyond. I'd absolutely recommend her, and will keep hiring her for my senior kitty's care!!
Kiana was kind enough to help with a last minute booking after my other Rover canceled the night before my trip - I was so grateful. She was detail oriented, communicated well, took good care of my 2 dogs, and left the house clean! I would book again. Thank you Kiana! 🐶❤️
We had a great experience with Adeline who watched our two dogs and our house for about 4.5 days. She was communicative, engaged and enthusiastic about our dogs. We also have a senior dog who requires add'l meds and oversight with daily communication about his resting heart rate, and she followed through on our instructions everyday. Although we didn't ask her to do any kind of deep cleaning, she did tidy up and left our home in great shape. A 5 star experience!
Jax watched our two little dogs for a week and did an excellent job. We could tell our dogs were comfortable with Jax from the meet and greet and they seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Jax sent daily photos and was responsible for their medications and supplements. Jax kept our house tidy and clean and even washed our sheets before he left, which wasn't requested but was appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jax again!
Abigail did an amazing job! Scout (my dog) adores her. She was flexible when travel plans slightly changed. It was so nice not having to worry about Scout when we are out of town. He was well cared for. Abigail sent pictures and updated me on how Scout was doing frequently which was wonderful.. I will definitely hire Abigail again!
Mackenzie checked every box for me. She did house sitting for my asthmatic senior kitty with some health needs. She gave me as many updates as I asked with lots of pics and even a video. Not only that, but she followed all of my notes thoroughly and she kept my house extremely clean. There is nothing better than coming back from a long trip to a house left exactly as you left it. I will 1000000% be hiring Mackenzie again. My cat seemed to really like her too! Lots of snuggles.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harmony on Rover is $38.85 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 4,480 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harmony. 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 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 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 Harmony. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
