“I can’t thank Jordynn enough for the great care of my pups who have vastly different personalities. One sweet girl Nina who never wants to leave your side and could play all day and then my shy old man Dewey. But Dewey warmed up to her so quickly and I could tell Jordynn truly cares about animals. She was courteous, timely and thoughtfully communicative. Even though I was going to be without cell service during part of my time away I always returned to pics and updates. I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Susan is a marvel. She’s a consummate professional that just loves what she does and the dogs love her back (and so do we). Thanks for taking care of our girls as your own.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14. My first dog was a lab mix and he is now 14 years old. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own that I have taken care of for the past few years. I have also helped friends and neighbors with their little furry friends by walking and feeding them. My current schedule for right now can be any night time stays. I can also help out anytime after 7:30am Monday to Fridays, or weekends full-day. I am close to local dog parks which I take my two puppies to everyday. They love to play with other dogs there and play tug of war or catch at the park. I also love to take walks by the water or go on hikes with my dogs.
“Michael looked after my four small dogs recently. I can’t recommend him more highly. Michael is a great communicator, intuitive with my dogs and responded to each of their needs accordingly. Michael notified me immediately of any potential issues. This is reassuring as a dog owner of two special needs pups (a diabetic, insulin dependent dog and one with separation anxiety and collapsed trachea.) Caring person, who is responsible and proactive. Highly recommended.”
“Penny was fabulous! We are first timers to Rover and were nervous trying out someone new. We have two big dogs and one mischievous cat, plus three garden spaces to water and a house to keep up. Penny tackled it all, no problems, handled all aspects of the job. The animals loved her and were all well taken care of. She gave medicine to our dog who has epilepsy twice a day and no issues there, such a relief! She was a joy to connect with , very social and friendly, and put us all at ease, she is a really nice person! We'll use her again in the future!”
“Autumn was wonderful. Pax loved her immediately, it’s how she interacts with him that made him feel comfortable and safe in the first second of meeting. Autumn is very quick to respond and we love the updates and pictures.”
“BEST Pet/House Sitters Ever! We lost 1 of our fur-babies, which resulted in us not being comfortable leaving 1 cat a lone and taking our dogs to a kennel as originally planned. At the last minute we were scrambling to find someone willing to stay at our house with our cat that lost her cat-mate and our dogs that lost their little cat-brother and they were all showing signs of grieving. We luckily found this amazing family and they took care of our fur-babies just like they were theirs. Mimi, Mackenzie and David were communicative, sent pictures, snuggled with our critters, let them sit on their laps and made sure they had plenty of exercise too. We feel so fortunate to have found Mimi and family! If we weren't relocating to another state I would continue to book with them. They are really kind people and were AMAZING with our cat and dogs.”
“Sage is amazing with my Dog Jack. Having a Blind and arthritic senor pup it’s hard to find that one person who will treat your fur baby as well as you do ❤️ Sage is that guy. He is very flexible with his schedule and goes out of his way to make sure your Pup is loved. I highly recommend him ??”
“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”
“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”
“Could not be happier with the care Cara provided for our big ole mama dog while we were gone. Almost want to plan another trip just so they can hang out again! I recommend Cara without hesitation.”
“Nobody will love on your pet like Anna. My adoring dog only had eyes on Anna when I got home. It’s great knowing my dog bonded with her so fully. Eventually he will be MY DOG again but he is still searching the house for her several days later. I will only use Anna from now on because I love knowing my baby is in such loving and responsible hands. Thank you Anna!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pet since I was 16 and could drive. I would pet sit/house sit for my grandpa and her 2 dogs, I also dog and cat sat for my aunt I only work a couple of days a week and I’m wide open besides that for the moment. I am starting college in the fall but there shouldn’t be to much difference in availability. I love all pet and understand the importance of treating a pet with the utmost love. I will follow any instructions you as the owner puts in place, you can rest assured that your pet will be taken care of!
“First time visit with Branden - and he was a hit with both our crazy young (3 month / 25lb) Puppy and the grumpy old (not really, he's friendly, and only 4yrs old) cat. Branden was great with lots of pictures and communication. Would love to have him watch the fur-kids again!”
“Eunice did such a wonderful job watching Remy! Super communicative and felt very comfortable with Remy staying with her while I had to be out for a few hours! Will definitely book again!”
“Ariana did an amazing job. She was very proactive with status updates and kept me informed daily about everything Dexter was up to. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing my dog was in good hands. 10/10, will book again.”
“Tabutha took care of our elderly dog over the long weekend. She was responsive and sent updates. She also left our home clean and tidy. I would recommend her and will use her again in the near future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Harper
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harper on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,191 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harper. 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 Harper 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 Harper 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 Harper 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.
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.
