“Ashley was amazing! It was my first time having her stay with our girls and I never had to worry, even with my older dog needing extra attention. I would absolutely use her again!”
“Teri did a great job taking care of our animals while we were gone. We received many pictures of them over the weekend and never wondered or felt worried about how they were doing. She left our house just as clean and it was when she got there. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jaedyn has home-sat our 3 little dogs twice now and can’t say enough good things about him. Most importantly, I know I can feel confident in their safety. He’s super fast to communicate and punctual. And also, this is a person who the dogs really just love to see. A++”
“Connie is very kind and patient with our dog Rue. Being a senior dog, he comes with many needs that other dogs do not. She took everything in stride and gave him lots of love & attention. We received many updates throughout the day which helps if you’re feeling anxious about leaving your pet. We highly recommend her.”
“Sandor's experience dog-sitting Raphael was nothing short of amazing. Throughout their time together, they forged a bond that was built on trust, love, and endless fun. Through the pictures Sandor sent, I could see that Raphael was filled with joy and happiness, creating lasting memories that will undoubtedly be cherished by both of them. Thank-you, Sandor!”
“Emily watched our senior dogs for 4 days and it was great to have her help! She provided updates and they were clearly comfortable and well cared for. We will keep working with Emily and recommend her!”
“Ally is a professional in every way! She is communicative and responsive, flexible, and took such good care of our animals and home while we were away! I got lots of pupdates and when we returned, our dog and rabbit were happy and relaxed, like we never left!! She also left the house clean and everything looked great. I would highly recommend Ally for pet/house sitting! 10/10!!!”
“Abram cared for our pups and house like they were his own. He clarified care to ensure he did things like our labs were used to and was very respectful. I felt so reassured with him at my house while I was out of town! I highly recommend Abram’s services and will be utilizing his care again in the future 🙌🐾”
About: i love spending time with all types of animals and i will make sure they have lots of company and playtime! i have had 2 cats in the past and i have taken care of friend's cats over the years, and i have Theo! My work schedule is 11 in the morning through 7 at night. I work monday through friday and I work in Bellevue. My weekends are 100% free. I have lots of experience with making sure they are fed on time, when they need to use the bathroom, and if you need to have them on a leash, keep them out of a certain room or if you want them to be walked i can happily do that! (and dont worry, i will send plenty of goofy and cute photos to show u how their doing! 🤭)
“A couple of days after being home, our doodles seemed to not feel well. Over the course of the next week, we have had 1 doodle vomit 3 different items, two being socks. This morning, we found a sock on the other doodle's poop. We emphasized their tendencies to eat things, and the importance of watching them closely because of this. Kaitlin did medicate everyone as asked, and other to dos around the house were taken care of. However, she did not scoop the dog poop in the back yard, though, and we received pictures rather infrequently during our vacation. We were planning to use her again with better communication on our part, but after the multiple foreign objects and sick doodles, we can't risk it.”
“Alyssa stayed the weekend with my labs at my house and I am so grateful for her help and respect of my home/schedule with the labs. She sent some pics to update me on the pups and was a great communicator. Came home to a house as clean as I left it and very happy labs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Hannah was great with Rooney. She was exactly on time for our meet and greet, she was friendly, and comfortable with a crazy lab, she checked in when asked, and offered to work him out extra on the last day. Super sweet, pursuing medicine, and highly responsible.”
“Nicole has been such an amazing sitter we went to seven feathers for my grandma’s birthday and she just amazes me she is just the best person to have at ur house watch your animals I would recommend her to anybody!! I’m so happy I never had to get a pet sitter but we were just blown away with her and her service the way she just handled everything was amazing! 100/100 couldn’t be happier with her service!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ she’s just so uplifting and has such great energy thank you Nicole for everything”
About: I have two cats and a dog that I love dearly, at 12 years old I started walking my neighbors dog, but had to quit because of covid. Me and my family have fostered 3 puppies, and have babysat many friends and families dogs! Im currently taking online classes at my college but I have plenty of time to walk, play, and care for any and all pets! I'm free during both the week and weekend to care for your pets. I shower my animals with lots of love and affection. I take my dog out for a walk everyday and prioritize his health and happiness.
“Mckayla was so kind to our miniature dachshunds for a 2 day house stay. She paid great attention to detail, even asking how to properly hold them. She left the house in perfect condition. Thank you!!”
About: I believe every animal is someone's loved one and a cherished part of the family. That's why I treat every animal I meet with the same love and care I'd want for my own. Whether I’m stopping by to keep your loved one company or taking them on a hike with me for an adventure, I promise to keep your family member safe, happy and loved! I’ve taken care of many types of animals as I grew up on a ranch with many dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats around. I have trained numerous dogs throughout my childhood and have loved every single one along the way. I have pet sat for many family members and friends, keeping the pets routine the same in order to make them comfortable and happy. I now have my own tabby kitten that I’m obsessed with, which my partner and I are currently trying to adventure train. I am currently writing my Master’s thesis and working from home so I have a lot of flexibility on when I work. I can make my own hours and work around when you need me! I’ll adapt to however you need help with your pet, since I have helped with so many types of animals, I know they all have their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ll follow your lead on how to care for your animal!
“Autumn was wonderful! We returned from a 9 day trip to happy pets and a clean house. We have a large dog and a cat, and the dog is pretty anxious and requires a significant amount of structure. Autumn was able to maintain her structure and I'm very grateful to have a person in our lives with whom we can trust our pets. Can't get over how lucky we are to have found her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 421 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harris. 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 Harris 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 Harris 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 Harris 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 Harris. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
