“Teresa took wonderful care of my three young cats! I appreciate her conscientiousness and my boys are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and honestly, I’m the kind of person who will see a stray animal and immediately want to take it home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs, including having 16 puppies at home at once when my two Labs each had 8 puppies. It was one of the most amazing and cutest experiences! I currently have two cats, and I’m comfortable with all the everyday things that come with pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving medications to both cats and dogs. Most importantly, I’ll always love and care for any pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As a stay-at-home mom of two, I’m typically available in the mornings until 10 AM, in the evenings after 6 PM, and throughout the weekends. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and work with your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll take notes of your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they have a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while they’re in my care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll take the time to get to know them and respect their boundaries. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Christa was fantastic watching my two kittens over the weekend. She sent photos and kept me posted each day. Everything was great and well-taken care of when we got home. I plan on booking her again for a trip we have planned this fall!”
“We have booked Shin several times now, and every single experience has been wonderful. We truly couldn’t ask for a more caring and attentive pet sitter. She is incredibly thoughtful and has such a natural way of connecting with our cats — she really took the time to understand their personalities and earned their trust. Our little ones genuinely enjoy her company and seem happy when she comes to visit, which means the world to us. Every visit has been completely stress-free and smooth, with excellent communication and absolutely no concerns or complaints on our end. We feel so lucky to have found Shin and can wholeheartedly recommend her. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our babies are in such kind and caring hands. ❤️🐾”
“Abygail was great with my cat Gerald. Communication is as great even with me being out the country. She worked well with my cat even with him being nervous and even made sure to let me know that he was using the restrooms and eating. Definitely book with her”
“Andrea was great! She made sure our sweet kitty was taken care of over a long weekend away and kept us updated with pictures and info about how our girl was doing! Would definitely use her again.”
“Yasmein was so amazing with our two cats! We felt very comfortable and knew our fur babies were well taken care of. Her check-ins and updates were very thorough and the communication overall was great for the whole experience. We are so grateful for her and our cats loved her too!”
“This was my first time using Rover, but Sharon made the process SUPER easy and I felt immediately comfortable working with her! We did a video call right away which I loved! She did awesome check-ins with my fur baby, and always sent updates and pictures. I would definitely recommend Sharon!! ?”
“I highly recommend Victoria to take care of your little fuzzball. She was able to handle all of my OCD instructions and everything was perfect when I returned. She will definitely be my new go-to pet sitter.”
“Logan does it again! Our 3 cats LOVE when he goes over and plays with them. Having him stop by while we’re on vacation helps us feel at ease. Thank you for caring for our babies like your own!!”
“Sage took wonderful care of Lina while I was away, visiting twice daily and sending thoughtful photo updates that gave me real peace of mind. It was clear Lina felt comfortable and happy with Sage, which meant so much to me. I look forward to booking with Sage again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring”
“As always Michelle and Archer do a phenomenal job of making our kitties feel like my daughter and I never leave! Both give Daya and Spade loving and take care of them as if they were their own. This booking in particular was last minute and Michelle picked it up immediately, even over a holiday weekend. 10/10!”
About: I’ve always had a dog since the moment I was born, and at one point I had six dogs! (3 at moms, 3 at dads). I’ve raised my golden retriever from a puppy, trained an australian shepard, and pet-sat my friends shih tzu every other week. I’ve always been the person in my household responsible for bathing, feeding, and walking the animals. I’ve handled two senior dogs throughout the last few months of their lives, including cleaning up accidents, and i’ve worked with dogs of every size. I’m currently a full time student who only has classes Tuesdays from 11-4 and Thursdays from 11-2:30. I work M/W/F from 9-3. I will not be able to have a potty break within this period, and I work close to uptown. I will not be gone longer then 7 hours at a time. For house sits, I may leave for a little to take care of my own pets or do some drop in visits. For boarding, I live with my boyfriend who works from home and I also have cats in the home. I will ensure that all your pets needs are met. Ill make sure that your animal is happy and healthy, giving them the love and patience they deserve. I will maintain your routine and ensure your pets safety and comfort. In your home, I will make sure that their routine is as similar to your own as possible. I will give them the food, water, and exercise that they require. In my own apartment, I will make sure that your dogs get acclimated to my cats the correct way, or are kept apart. Tell me their typical schedule and I will do within my means to accommodate. I cannot accomodate 7 hour or less potty breaks on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for house sits.
“I am just so thrilled that I found Claire! She was amazing and this is the first time I have been able to travel without all this stress about my cats. I have 2 cats that need medication and Claire was able to handle them like a champ. She came twice a day and was always on time and did everything that I asked. I hope she will be available the next time we are out of town- she was wonderful!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Logan and Audrey were amazing! After moving areas and out of range from our old Rover sitter we used many times, I was hoping to find another great fit. My cat seemed very happy and connected to them based on the many (awesome) photos they sent each day, and they left the cat areas of the house clean as well. Definitely recommend them to anyone who needs their pet well-cared for and plan to work with them again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,535 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.
