“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!”
“Chris is a gem. She agreed to care for a new cat needing special attention that I adopted just before I left. The young cat developed a respiratory infection and she knew just what to do. She even went and picked up some medicine on her own time. While she gave my new cat special care she was caring for my 2 older cats. I appreciate her prompt to the point communication and photos. Chris always had a positive and down to earth attitude that made things so much easier and such a relief.”
“This was the second time Ellie cared for our cat while we went away, and we would once again highly recommend her! She completed all care as requested and gave our social cat lots of pets and attention while we were away. Ellie is very communicative, responding quickly to messages and sending regular updates and photos. We really appreciated this!! We definitely will reach out to Ellie for future visits.”
“Logan's care for our cats was amazing while we were on vacation. He provided great updates on how they were doing and always took the best photos our our cats. Logan Truly cares for the pets he takes care of and I will recommend him to anyone!”
“Norma has fed Marco and Lucy on two separate occasions. She has been very communicative and extremely helpful when the second time, we had a leak while out of town. She definitely went above and beyond, the second time, and the cats finally graced her with their presence. We will use Norma again in the future.”
“So sweet and great with my two mini schnauzers. Took them out for a quick bathroom break, gave them treats, and even gave them a couple scratches to comfort them! Definitely recommend!”
“Cristal went above and beyond repeatedly for my boys. I have two senior large breed dogs, and they’re a lot. One has ivdd and has eaten 90% of his tail and repeatedly tries to get to it to chew more off, as well as some GI issues right now and Cristal expressed so much concern and care for his wellbeing while I attended my brothers wedding. She did such a good job that my girlfriend was jealous that she was taking care of the dogs and not her haha, silly I know. But I could not recommend anyone more than I would Cristal. An exceptional human being and incredibly caring pet sitter.”
“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 can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Sara took great care of my cat Charlie and was a great communicator! We had a short meet up prior to her drop ins and she was lovely and I felt confident with my cat in her care. Thank you Sara”
“Sheyla is such a a sweetheart and was good to & with my baby, she even brought him a little gift. I had a last minute trip come up and she really came through for me. Would definitely recommend her. And I'm sure my little guy would be thrilled to see her again ✨”
“Grayson was perfect during my time away. She took care of my big baby and made sure to send plenty of pics. My trip was last minute and she still made time for a meet and greet. Overall Grayson was very reliable and it seemed like Lilah enjoyed her very much!”
“This was our second time using Claire to watch our senior kitty, Honey. She is professional, very understanding of Honey’s quirks, and even brought in our packages and returned our trash can after trash day. Despite Honey’s ‘catitude’, she continued to try to make her more comfortable and kept a close eye on her while we were out of the country for 10 days. It’s such a relief to have someone we can count on to watch our 18yo girl when we travel! Highly recommend!!”

Jada took care of my 4 pets like they were her own. She went above and beyond to make sure they had company, and even stayed over a couple of nights a week so they could be loved up (of course as we agreed on). I 100% recommend her services! I will definitely be booking her again, I know I can trust not only my pets, but my home to her. Thanks Jada!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,493 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:
- 95% 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.
