“Summer did an amazing job! She kept me updated daily, letting me know when she was at the house and what she and Roxie did, even including pictures. I will definitely be using Summer anytime I have to travel.”

“Angelica took excellent care of our fur babies while we were gone for week. She communicated with us often and sent a ton of videos;) We felt confident that they were being well looked after.”


“Abby, did a great job taking care of Piper. She took Piper, on walks, and went swimming with her. She stayed in our home for the weekend and I couldn’t even tell she had been there. Our home looked exactly like we left it. Abby, text me and let me know Piper, was doing fine and sent me a picture of Piper. I would definitely recommend Abby to watch your dog and will use her again when we go out of town again.”


“My sweet Lexi loved al the attention she received. My house was in perfect order when I returned home. And most importantly I got lots of updates while I was away. Kristi did a great job and I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends”
“Noah was awesome! Kind to my furbabies, no complaints from them- 2 paws up. Noah was quick at responding and ready to go on short notice for us. This was our first time using Rover; I'm glad I found Noah when needed. We'll be using him again when the time comes.”

“I ask Taylor to watch Ripley every time I go on a trip, and it always works out great. Ripley is calm and happy when I get home, and the house is clean and in great shape. Taylor is definitely a five-star sitter!”


About: I’ve been looking after my grandmas Doberman and Husky/German Shepherd mix for about two years as well as other friends’ dogs from Golden Retrievers to Cavaliers. My household also has a Doberman and my own Cavalier. I’ve raised 3 of my dog’s Cavalier puppies until about 3 months old. I know my way around big and little dogs, I am athletic and willing to walk for extended periods of time, and I have much experience around animals of all kinds. I work a small job from Tuesdays through Thursdays in the afternoon. Tuesdays I’m not available after 3:00, Wednesdays I work only an hour around 5-6, Thursdays are 6-8. I have a fenced area for when animals need to be taken out. I’m very comfortable crating or keeping dogs out, whatever the client prefers. I’m also very comfortable around big dogs, and have no problem handling any dog that seems too strong or uncontrollable.
“She took great care of my pup, like it was her own, will definitely book her again, communication was great, updates were given frequently and very respectful of my home with the overnight stay, thank you”


About: I have experience caring for my own three dogs, which gave me a strong understanding of daily pet care and responsibility. I handled feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, administering basic medications when needed, and making sure they received plenty of attention and exercise. Caring for multiple dogs also taught me how to recognize different personalities and behaviors, stay patient, and provide a safe, loving environment. I’m committed to treating every dog in my care like they’re my own. I currently work full time as a probation officer, my schedule is flexible. I’m available most weekends and can come over to feed/walk your pets. I can easily follow your rules and how to properly take care of your dogs. I will love and care your pets like they are mine

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Joshua is the best!!! He was available to watch my two pups on short notice. Took excellent care of them, and they were happy and comforted while I was away. I highly recommend him!!!!”

“Kerry is very sweet. She sending us a Pictures of Max allthe time and anytime I wanted to check on Max she was available and answered right away. She is very nice and kind. I would highly recommend her!!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Aiden, and I’ve been caring for dogs for about 7 years now. I started pet sitting and dog walking when I was around 12 years old, and over the years I’ve gained experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I regularly care for my cousin’s dog, Scout, whenever they go out of town, and I also frequently watch Raya, one of my family friends’ dogs, during vacations and trips. Because of this, I’m very familiar with overnight care, keeping dogs comfortable in a home environment, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve also spent summers walking dogs for families in my area, which helped me become comfortable handling different personalities, sticking to feeding and walking schedules, and making sure every dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I’ve had a dog of my own as well, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I truly love animals and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daytime care, and overnight stays in your home. I do work a part-time job, but my shifts are typically only around 6 hours during the day. Outside of that, I’m fully available to spend time with your pets and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I also make communication a priority and will happily send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I always make it a priority to keep pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while caring for them in their home. I understand how important routines are for animals, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m very respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure to keep your pet safe at all times. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs so they receive the right level of care, attention, and exercise. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away.
About: As an RN and experienced dog owner, I provide dependable, attentive care for puppies, senior pets, and dogs with special needs or medications. I understand the importance of safety, patience, routines, communication, and treating every pet like family. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine, as I have open availability throughout the summer for weekdays, evenings, and weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care, including walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medication administration, and overnight care when needed. I care for every pet as if they were my own by providing a safe, calm, loving, and attentive environment. We have 6 acres of land where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy plenty of exercise and fresh air, while leash walks are always welcome and fun as well. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. As an RN, safety, cleanliness, communication, and attention to detail are extremely important to me, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while owners are away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Harold
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 630 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harold. 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 Harold 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 Harold 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 Harold 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.

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.
