“Rachel sent us pictures of every visit, which made being away so much easier! She was flexible when we needed to make schedule adjustments, and has excellent communication! Definitely will have her watch our pups again!!”
“We are so grateful for Teresa! She took amazing care of our pups during her drop-ins. One of our dogs needs daily medication, and Teresa made sure she took it without a hitch. Another dog had an accident before she arrived, and Teresa didn’t hesitate to clean it all up—even though it wasn’t her mess. She went above and beyond by vacuuming up all the dog hair (our girl sheds a lot!) and even took the time to brush her. Truly thoughtful and attentive—we highly recommend her!”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing while caring for our dog, Prince! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands during our time away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What really stood out was her consistent communication—she sent us regular updates, along with pictures and messages that gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for Prince was. It made being away so much easier. Prince seemed comfortable, relaxed, and well-loved when we returned, which speaks volumes about the care Abigail provided. We are so grateful for her dedication and thoughtfulness. We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter—we will definitely be booking her again!”

“Cristal took great care of our two cats while we were away. She’s consistent and compassionate, and we particularly liked the level of detail she included in the check-in cards. She clearly has a lot of experience with and love for animals!”
“Audrey took amazing care of my pups and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays attention to the little details.”
“Sage is a great pet sitter! Our two cats took to her quickly during the meeting, and she provided great updates each visit. Sage was also very communicative while cat sitting during a bad thunderstorm, helping make sure the babies were okay if power went out. Our home and cat areas were clean and well-kept when we returned. Thank you, Sage!!”
“We’ve had victory drop in on our pup several times and she is always punctual, and spends the full amount of time walking or cuddling Allie. We have her booked for overnight trips later this summer. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life! I would love to take care of your baby’s for you and treat them like my own! I have taken care of dogs & cats at every age and other animals. I don’t have a full-time job right now, so I have time to take care of animals when people need my help when they can’t. I’ve treated every animal as if they were my child. I would do the same whether yours is at my house or I stop in and check on them at yours. I always say I would hate someone forever if they ever let my cat out the door..so you can trust me with your animal!
“Shin was absolutely amazing! She did a great job taking care of my cat and making him feel comfortable. She accommodated us when we added an extra night to our trip last minute and even took an extra trip to our home one night to check on my cat when I was worried he'd ingested string while he was alone. She gave us so much peace of mind - I'd absolutely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“As usual, Michelle and Archer made our pets feel safe and loved while we were on vacation. Even when one of our cats destroyed our Christmas tree she helped clean up his mess! Our cats got lots of love and our kitten got his silly’s out with Archer. I will continue to rebook Michelle for all my trips!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and providing plenty of exercise, affection, and updates so you have peace of mind. I am currently a college student looking to earn some extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. My class schedule can be flexible, which allows me to provide pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I always make time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care they may need. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also respect each client's home, provide regular updates, and treat both their pets and property with the utmost care.
“Tasha was great!! We have two small dogs and a new kitten and traveled for 3 nights over the 4th of July weekend. She took great care of our babies, the house was in good shape, the pets were happy, and she sent lots of pics to let us know our pets were doing well. We will definitely book her again!”
“I had to schedule some last-minute petsitting from abroad and Melissa was very accommodating! It was so nice having peace of mind in what could have been a stressful situation. I enjoyed getting pictures of my pets getting lots of love. Thank you, Melissa!”
“We have used Claire a number of times over the last year to both board and check in on our cat, Crabcake. She is extremely reliable and takes great care of Crabcake. We highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,515 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrisburg. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
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.
