“Samantha is great. She was available to do drop ins for my 17 year old geriatric dog....who needs a bit of extra TLC. She is very respectful and responsive. I am so glad to have found her. She also boarded my younger dog during this time. She's awesome. My dogs love her.”


“Ashley was wonderful with my special needs cat! He is on several medications and it was comforting to know I could trust someone with my baby. Ashley is just so sweet and took great care of Cricket. I will definitely rebook her in the future!”


“From the start, Dorothy was great with responding/communication and set up a meet & greet the same day I reached out to her. She was very pleasant, and asked a lot of questions to make sure that my kitties were properly cared for. She also took notes and paid great attention to detail, and I totally trusted her with successfully dosing insulin to my diabetic cat. Will be more than happy to use her again in the future, and would highly recommend her a pet sitter. Thanks for your help, Dorothy!”


“I was scared at first because I never let someone else see about my fur babies 🐕. She was really patient and kind to them, they really did fill comfortable with her. I will be using her again.”


“i have a fussy and super outgoing bengal cat. Alden has exceeded my expectations with his attention towards my cat and he takes amazing pictures. He is also very communicative with me about how things are going. He is also quick to respond which I appreciate. I will definitely use him in the future!”



“Amanda was great! Nisa (cat) responded immediately when she came to meet us, allowing her to pet him and rub his head. He doesn't usually do that with strangers. I received cute pictures of him - some of her petting him - and came home to a happy cat. Thanks Amanda.”


“Emily always does a great job with our dog. Our dog loves to play and have a lot of attention and Emily gives it all to her when she is there. She goes the extra mile to play and have fun with her.”


“Meaghan was fantastic! She was very responsive and took our reservation last minute which was a life saver. Our doggos were so happy and well taken care of. We loved the pictures she sent when she stopped by! Thank you again!”


“When I first started looking in to this I was so concerned because my dogs really don’t like people being around me. From the literal second Sachi walked through my door they were calm and content. I’ve never seen them behave like that, and it was extremely reassuring. I know that my girls are in good hands and are being well taken care of. I couldn’t be happier with my choice to reach out to Sachi on here.”



“Valerie did amazing watching my cat while I was out of town for the weekend! She was very attentive and communicative, so I never felt worried about the care he was receiving while I was away. When I got home, he was very content and happy and I knew he loved having Valerie drop in every day!”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on animal care experience, I provide compassionate, reliable care for dogs of all sizes and breeds – from playful puppies to senior pets with special needs. My background also includes caring for cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, goats, and fish, so I’m well-versed in all kinds of routines, medications, and temperaments. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, gentle attention, or experienced medical support, you can count on me to treat them like family As a stay-at-home animal parent, pet care is naturally woven into my entire day. My routine revolves around keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged—whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the yard, structured feeding schedules, or just being there for company and cuddles throughout the day. I’m always nearby to monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and respond quickly to any needs that come up. It’s not just part of my routine—it is my routine, and I love every minute of it. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions closely—whether that’s feeding times, medications, walks, crate training, or preferred play styles. In my home, pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment with plenty of supervised playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles. I maintain a peaceful atmosphere to help pets settle in and feel at ease. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I respect the space, keep things tidy, and ensure the pet feels secure while their family is away. No matter where I’m caring for them, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, attentiveness, and love

“I have two cats who always act so stressed out when I leave and even more stressed when I first get back. After leaving them in Jen's care, they seemed so relaxed and happy. She took great care of them and my place while I was gone. Would definitely recommend.”


About: I have taken care of all types of animals, wild and domestic. I have shared my life with my own dog fur babies, ferrets, and chickens, and other livestock. I’m currently working from home and available for boarding services around the clock. I’m available for walks and playtime visits outside of the home at pre scheduled times. I have a large yard and two dogs to keep your pup entertained. Additionally I have plenty of crates for sleeping if you prefer one. If your pet prefers to free run or go on walks, they are sure to get plenty of exercise.Cats will have plenty of perches and toys to play with.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since childhood. When I was 9, my mom would bring home strays of all kinds and we would nurse them back to health the best we could and then find responsible owners. I’m talking cats, dogs, birds, lizards, etc! If we found an animal that needed help, we took it home and tried our best to love it! My mom was my inspiration and I’ve continued doing this for years. I’m responsible and loving and patient! Trust me to care for your babies and you won’t be disappointed! I’m retired from full time work. I do work part time but it’s based upon my preferences. My husband is also retired and is home all day. My Yorkie is given free range of our spacious home. We walk him 2 times per day. Although our yard isn’t fenced, we sit outside with our dog frequently and have a nice play area for dogs. They will never be left alone!

“My cat Willie seemed happy and well taken care of! Julia communicated very well, and kept me posted. She was flexible, approachable, easy to talk to, and Willie seemed to like her right away. Would recommend!”

Juliette H.
“As Juliette’s fiancé, I’ve had a front-row seat to her deep love and natural talent for caring for animals. Whether it’s dogs, cats, chickens, goats, or horses, she connects with them in a way that’s truly special. I’ve seen her calmly handle early morning feedings, unexpected vet visits, and the everyday chaos that comes with a barn full of animals—with patience, dedication, and a big heart. She’s incredibly responsible, attentive to each animal’s unique needs, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re not just safe, but happy. If you're looking for someone who will treat your animals like family, you couldn’t ask for anyone better than Juliette.”

Harrisburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elana was amazing. She made sure to take great care of my cat while I was away for a couple weeks. She sent me updates with pictures and notes of the visit, letting me know how things went. She was always so communicative, and I’m absolutely going back to her when I need a cat sitter. 10/10!

Julianna did a fantastic job taking care of Papaya over the Christmas, New Year break. She is communicative, responsive and reliable. We appreciate Julianna going above and beyond to clean up after Papaya and we know for a fact that Papaya is going to miss playing with her! We would highly recommend Julianna to take great care of your fur babies! 💗
