“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!”
“Sasha is absolutely wonderful! My house is constantly hectic with all my animals and she does such a good job with all of them. I wouldn’t use anyone else!”
“I was so nervous using this app for the very first time… But all of my worries were put to ease with this woman… I absolutely loved her communication and all of the friendly things that she had to say… I have cameras and was able to view her occasionally while she took care of my cats And she was absolutely amazing… I will definitely be using her again”
About: My first job i worked in pet boarding! my job included feeding pets, cleaning up after them, making sure they’re safe, and of course playing with them! I’m working part time so i have plenty of time to spend with your pet’s! i am available to stay over whenever needed but on specific days i do work night shifts. I can take care of your pet’s however is needed in your home, i can follow exact instructions to ensure their routine stays similar
“Maylin was awesome. She came at the same time daily and followed all instructions for my cats medicine and diet. She is an elderly cat and it was very nice knowing someone took it as seriously as I do.”
“Destiny has great communication and Olivia absolutely loves her! I’m so grateful she could check on my girl in my absence! Will certainly book with her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Mati. Very loving and attentive with my pups, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Highly recommend for services!”
About: I have always been an animal lover, and a vegetarian because of that since I was 10 years old. While I do not have any pets of my own at this time, due to my job, I always get so excited and happy when I see and can be around animals of all kinds. I have been to cat cafes, several farms to pet the animals, and only attend zoos/wildlife sanctuaries that take in animals that have been injured and/or can’t survive in their natural habitat anymore. I’m a flight attendant who works 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. When I’m off, I’m home for the full 2 weeks and will have plenty of time to pet sit for those days. While I do not have any pets of my own due to my job, I thrive in being around animals and pets of all kinds. I treat animals like my own and put as much care into their needs as I would my own pet.
“Eden was so helpful while we traveled for a long trip. She was punctual and gave thoughtful updates with the sweetest photos. She balanced the needs of our almost 14 year old dog and puppy. I did not need to worry because I knew they were in great hands!”
“Dennise was fantastic. She was incredibly understanding, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure my dog was properly cared for. She made an extra trip when needed, kept me informed every step of the way, and showed genuine care and professionalism throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Kendall is wonderful! We have a senior lab and a puppy, both of which loved the special attention and care provided by Kendall. Will be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Carina has been a great help to me and my dog, Dash! Having her drop in on him while I'm at work has given me peace of mind and, from the pics I've receive from the visits, has brought lots of joy to my doggo!”
“Dominique has dog sat for me three times now. She always does a great job. I feel confident when I leave my 2 dogs in her care. She always stays in touch, sends a lot of photos and always goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for 6 years, but they’ve been my biggest passion since I was little. I have a certification in dog training, have taken a first aid class, and have experience with all kinds of pups! Dogs are my full-time job, which means your pup gets all of my time and attention! My day revolves around the care of my furr-ends! I have a fenced in yard and have a room in my home dedicated to the care of my clients! I have large comfy kennel spaces for each of my guests but if your pup happens to be social and non-destructive I would allow them to free-roam!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
I can't recommend Jada enough! From the very first drop-in visit, she exceeded every expectation. She was always on time, followed every single instruction perfectly, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog absolutely adored her, which says everything. It's obvious she genuinely loves animals and took the time to make him feel comfortable, happy, and cared for during every visit. She also went above and beyond by leaving my home spotless. My dog's meal prep can be a little messy, but she cleaned everything up each time without being asked. As a pet parent, it's hard to trust someone new with your furry family member, but I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She is reliable, thoughtful, attentive, and truly goes the extra mile. I'm honestly surprised she doesn't have more reviews yet because she absolutely deserves them. If you're considering booking her, do it, you and your pets will be in excellent hands!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Harrisburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Harrisburg 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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Harrisburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
