About: I’ve spent years caring for pets and homes for family, friends, and private clients, and I understand that both come with a real responsibility. When someone entrusts me with their home and animals, I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats, and I’m happy to follow established routines for feeding, walks, treats, medications, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ve cared for pets who need extra patience and consistency, including a young puppy who was still being potty trained. I also understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I make an effort to keep their life as normal and comfortable as possible while their people are away. My house-sitting experience goes well beyond simply being present in the home. I’ve cared for plants and gardens, watered lawns and operated sprinklers, brought in mail and packages, handled basic outdoor chores, and kept an eye on the property. I’ve also handled unexpected responsibilities, including meeting contractors, photographing completed work before authorizing payment, arranging appointments, receiving deliveries, and taking care of errands for homeowners while they were away. Communication is an important part of my approach. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so homeowners can see that their pets and property are doing well. I know how reassuring it can be to see your dog happily lounging on the couch or your garden looking healthy when you're hundreds of miles away. As a freelance writer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my day. I can structure my work around a pet’s routine rather than expecting a pet to fit around a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Whether a pet needs morning or evening walks, regular meals, medication, playtime, or simply some companionship during the day, I have the flexibility to be there. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need more attention or have specific routines. I enjoy the rhythm of pet care and the opportunity to give each animal the consistency, attention, and companionship they’re accustomed to while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. Because I’m a freelance writer with a flexible schedule, I can devote time to pets who need more than a quick visit. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, following special instructions, and adjusting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. I keep things clean and secure, communicate regularly, and provide updates with photos and videos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have been extremely passionate about animals since I was young. I have volunteered at the local humane society and worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for 2 years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs as well small animals. I was successful in fostering and rehoming an amazing dog - which I hope to do more of in the future! Right now, I am currently working as a full time veterinary technician, so I can assure your pet will be safe with me! I will treat yours like my very own 🐕🦺🐾🖤 I work full time as a vet tech at a veterinary hospital in either the morning or evening! I can be very flexible with my schedule and have no problem stopping by before and after work. if your pet has to stay at my home, I have a fenced in back yard and two very playful pups that would love to meet new friends! When going to clients homes, I am great at following feeding instructions, walking & playing with your pup!
“Matt was very professional & attentive. Followed our tips & instructions precisely. He was pleasant & went out of his way to assure our 12 year old sheppard felt loved and comfortable. I will use Matt in the future!”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five-Star Dog Sitter Extraordinaire! We honestly don’t know what kind of magic Abby possesses, but she managed to care for all five of our wild, lovable heathens like an absolute pro. That’s not just dog sitting—that’s dog whispering. From the moment Abby walked through the door, our dogs were obsessed with her—and for good reason. She’s calm, kind, patient, and somehow has the energy and grace to keep up with five very different canine personalities (and let’s be real—these dogs aren’t exactly low-maintenance). Whether it was the high-energy zoomies, the endless toy-fetching, or the very dramatic meal-time antics, Abby handled it all with a smile and a level of care that blew us away. Not only were our dogs happy, exercised, and clearly well-loved while we were away, but Abby also kept us updated with the cutest photos and little anecdotes that showed just how much she genuinely gets each of our pups. She didn’t just watch our dogs—she connected with them. We came home to five calm, content dogs and a house that somehow wasn’t destroyed. That alone deserves a medal. Abby is hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our furry chaos crew. If you’re lucky enough to book her, don’t hesitate—your dogs (and your sanity) will thank you.”


“Casey did a great job taking care of our pups! She sent pics and they were very well taken care of and happy. We have her booked again for next month, so I’m sure our girls are looking forward to her staying with them again.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two pugs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, medications, senior dogs, and giving pets extra attention and affection while their owners are away. I also work in hospice care, so being compassionate, calm, and reliable comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re gone. I work full time during the week from 9am–6:30pm, but pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already care for my two pugs daily. I’m available for evening visits/walks on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I pay close attention during walks and outdoor time, especially in hot weather, and I never leave dogs outside longer than they should be. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and close supervision to keep them safe from anything that could bother or harm them. I’m also very mindful about keeping floors and spaces clear of anything pets could get into or accidentally swallow. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your animals, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own
“Thank you again for taking great care of our pups while we were travelling! My husband and I feel much more comfortable leaving our dogs behind knowing they are in good hands”

About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I am currently pursuing my education to become a Small and Large Animal Veterinarian and specialize in Animal Psychology and Internal Medicine/Oncology. Through my experience, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in pet training, dog walking, proper nutrition and feeding, and medication administration. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job on Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Saturday from 2:30 PM to 8:30 PM, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for my pet care clients. I keep my Rover calendar up to date to accurately reflect my availability, though occasional changes may arise. If you don't see the dates or times you need, I encourage you to reach out anyway—I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide exceptional care for your furry family member! I do not offer in-home boarding, but I am happy to provide care in your home. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When possible, I am available for extended stays, which can provide added consistency for your pet’s care and fit well with my schedule. I also recommend that clients leave detailed care instructions, as every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better friend for Honey! Lots of walks snuggles and play time. And pictures and videos showing just how well she was being cared for. 100% recommend Ronny for your pet sitting needs!!”

“Karen is an amazing pet sitter!! She took wonderful care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation! She kept us informed with lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates. Karen was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs and safety, making sure he got plenty of belly rubs, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. She also took excellent care of our home, and left everything perfectly clean and tidy. We were truly able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pup was in such great hands. We would love to have Karen watch our pup again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring pet sitter!!”


About: I have spent countless years caring for all shapes and sizes of animals. Anything from fish, to guinea pigs, to horses, and all in between. I currently work full time, but my employer is very flexible and understanding of my schedule, and allows me to do whatever is needed for the comfort of your furry friends. I spend countless hours in your home, with your fur babies, to ensure that they are able to run and play, just as they would if you were there. I strive to make their lives normal, just like it would be if you were home with them.
About: Hi, I'm Trinity! As a dedicated animal lover, my background comes from years of raising and caring for my own pets. I’ve managed everything from a high-energy, young Rotterman (Rottweiler/Doberman mix) to a gentle senior Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix), making me comfortable with active leash walking, high-energy play, and patient senior care. I also have hands-on experience with hamsters, fish, kittens, and adult cats. I understand that no two animals are the same, so I focus on personalized care tailored to your pet's exact personality. Above all, I offer strong attention to detail, strictly follow your care instructions down to the letter, and prioritize open communication by asking questions when needed and sending frequent updates so you always know your littles are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work remotely which gives me a structured routine. Because I work from home, I am easily available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and spent time ensuring your pets are comfortable and safe throughout the day. I care for every pet strictly based on the agreed-upon instructions provided by their owner. I follow exact feeding schedules, safety guidelines, and care routines down to the letter, maintaining a clean, low-stress environment while asking questions whenever needed to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets. As a proud dog owner of two, I understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own, providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. As a dog owner of two, my days revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Caring for my dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique needs. Providing a safe, happy, and loving environment is something I enjoy every day, and I'll give your pet the same level of care and attention. I care for my pets by taking them on nice long walks and providing them love and affection that they deserve. My place unfortunately does not have a fence, but my dogs love to roam free and play with the ball out back; If we are not outback we are in the field across from my house throwing the ball and having a good time!
“They were wonderful. Always updated me and helped when my flight got delayed. I was stranded until the next day and they made sure my pets were let out and fed. I was a mess and they saved the day and treated them very well. I will continue to use their services and highly recommend.”

“Bronte was everything we needed in a pet-sitter! She was lovely and personable, and immediately put us at ease when we needed a sitter for our elderly terrier rescue who has recently lost her eyesight. Bronte really has a "sixth sense" when it comes to caring for special needs dogs. We are grateful for her help and gladly give her this 5-star recommendation!”


About: Hello! My name is Jenni and I’m a Registered Vet Tech. I live and work in Frederick County, MD. I have 2 cats and a puppy of my own at home who make every day interesting, fun, and full of love. I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets is my genuine passion, so I made it my career! I’ve had my own pets since I was 10 years old (probably younger) and I have worked in the veterinary medicine industry for 20+ years. I work full-time as an RVTg at a local veterinary hospital and I am looking to make some extra cash on the side. Your pet will be cared for as if it were my own! I’ll consider any reasonable offer regarding amount for services. I do not have a fear of any dog/cat, I have no breed restrictions, and I have no problem scooping litter boxes or cleaning up after dogs on walks. Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to rabbits, guinea pigs/hamsters/gerbils, and birds and therefore cannot visit any home that has these pets in them. I require proof of an up-to-date Rabies vaccination for all dogs and cats. NOT the tag, the actual certificate (your vet can provide this for you). I have 2 cats of my own that make every day interesting and fun. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet(s) as if they were my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,297 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harney. 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 Harney 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 Harney 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 Harney 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.
