“Felicity was a dream! She provided prompt communication and the sweetest photos of my fur babies while I was away! I'm so grateful for the love and attention she showered them with - even my more timid kitty warmed up to her quickly! I will definitely be using her services in the future :)”
“Andrea is wonderful! Even though hurt & having surgery right before her scheduled visits, she sent her husband, Ethan, to take care of Sammi. A big relief to me and Sammi liked him so much she let him pet her which NEVER happens!!! She & Ethan are the best to watch over my fur baby!!!”
About: I have genuine love for animals and have dedication to providing top-notch care. My reliability, attentiveness, and experience ensure that pets are happy and well-cared for in your hands. I work Monday Through Friday, but I’m off at a decent time which enables me to care for your furry ones! Also, I will be more than willing to check on them during a work break! When caring for pets in my home, I will provide a safe and comfortable environment with a cozy sleeping area, regular feeding times, and plenty of fresh water. I engage them with toys and activities, ensure they get enough exercise, and monitor their health and behavior closely. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines and preferences, maintain a clean and safe environment, and give the pets lots of love and attention. I keep the pet's schedule consistent, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to ensure they feel secure and happy.
About: I'm Kaili and I’m looking for some wagging tails to fill my schedule! I'm a huge dog lover and always have been - I'm able to give specialty care to all dogs of varying breeds and personalities. Depending on you and your doggo’s preferences, we can go for long walks or take it easy and lounge in the grass. I'm available for walks, potty-breaks, excercise/play time and/or over night stays! I have experience with overly timid or anxious pups that require patience and gentle attention. As well as extensive care with senior dogs, who also require extra attention in their old age. I’d love to get to know you and your dog and help keep them company in anyway needed! I have two pitbull-mixes of my own and also grew up in a household with pets so I’m well versed in the entertain, nap, repeat schedule. I work in an office in Charlotte, but am home at a reasonable hour, my boyfriend works nearby and checks on the pups midday. We’re home bodies through the weekend. We have over an acre of fully fenced land that is perfect for your dog to run around and sniff! We also have a big deck and sunroom with dogs beds for a post yard nap! Our home is fully set up for dog-friendly furniture cuddles!!
“We had a great experience with Sara. She was dependable, responsive and took excellent care of our pets while we were away! Communication was great- which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Candy was a great help on short notice when we had to go out of town for a funeral. She was great with our dog and we were comfortable everything was cared for during her drop in visits.”
“Very responsive ! Connects well with your pet/companion. My Autumn had a great time playing with her. Gave me peace of mind to know she is well taken care of while we are apart.”
About: I have been around dogs practically my whole life! I have trained and cared for my family and friends furry friends, including feeding and playing! Currently working part time and will have plenty of time to play with your furry friend! I am available weekends to sit for your dog! I have an big open yard with two friendly dogs for your fur friend to play. I can keep your fur friend on their schedule.
About: I’ve taken care of a dog ever since I’ve got my first one when I was eight, and now that I’m older and living on my own I have my own dog who is almost 3, who still acts just like a puppy. Since joining Rover, I have taken care of a variety of different dogs of all breeds, and sizes with all kinds of different needs. I'm currently doing Rover full time so I can be with your fur baby just about all the time! The only catch is I'm pregnant (due March 13th,2027) so I will be gone periodically, to doctor's appointments. For stays longer than 2 nights (depending on how close your home is to mine), I will need to go home every other night to get proper rest, but your baby will still be well taken care of!! No matter what neighborhood you may live in, I promise your pets will always be safe with me, I am very observant and watchful of pets and I always do my best to make sure that they are very well taken care of as if they are my own.
“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!”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring dog lover with over five years of experience caring for dogs for military families. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, especially during vacations, moves, or busy schedules. My goal is to provide the same love, attention, and care that your dog receives at home. Every dog has their own personality and routine, so I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. Whether it's walks, playtime as directed, or overnight stays, I'll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a military veteran, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday care. Whether your dog needs a quick drop-in visit, daily walks, or overnight care, I'm committed to being dependable and providing the same level of dedication and trust that I valued throughout my military service. Your pet's safety, routine, and well-being are always my top priorities. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. When I need to step away, dogs are safely crated (if crate-trained and according to your preferences) to ensure they remain secure. While I'm home, I provide attentive supervision and am always aware of what each dog is doing to help prevent accidents and ensure everyone gets along. I closely follow each pet's routine, provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and treat every dog with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: Hi I'm Keya and I've been a dog lover ever since I can remember lol. I aim to offer a very fun, but responsible experience for both you and your dog(s). I have had experience caring for dogs and dog-sitting for 15 years for a number of different people. I also have experience in dealing with multiple dogs at once. My skills include dog walking, playtime, adminstering medicine, and just loving them as if they were my own. I work fully remote from Monday - Friday so I am able to use my lunch break to walk or drop in to check on your pet(s). Weekends I’m usually flexible. I live in an apartment with my dog Hazel. She’s very friendly and playful with other dogs. I also have a crate that I use to separate the dogs if needed.
About: My passion isn't just for people—it's for pets, too. I spend my days in HR, but my evenings are filled with walks, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs the love and attention they deserve. I work in office full time so I am available for boarding every Friday after 4pm & all day Saturday. Daily care (drop-ins, walks, etc) after 4pm M-F and all day Saturday and Sunday. I have a 7 month old Aussiedoodle. We have plenty of space for another dog, a crate, playpen, bed. Many toys for the puppy to play with and a backyard for them to run around and potty. We go on daily walks and have play time.
“Allison is amazing!!!! My Bella just loves her. She is so kind and professional. She communicates before and after her visits with updates and photos. I can’t thank her enough for taking such excellent care of my precious baby and giving me peace of mind. I highly recommend Allison!!!”
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.
“D’yandra did an amazing job with Stone. Very professional. Very responsive and I felt Stone was in great hands the whole time I was out of town. Highly recommend for your dog boarding needs.”
About: Hello! I’m a labor and delivery nurse that loves animals and has experience in a kennel/doggy daycare.

I have a German shepherd at home & care for my mom’s dogs when she is out of town, along with her neighbor’s cats! I’d love to give yours some love too!! As a nurse i definitely work long shifts but on the days i am not working the 3 days, i can be there for whatever stop by or walk you need! I can stop by when i get off work as well! I will love your baby/babies as my own! I have a lot of experience with different dog diets and even cat diets as well as giving medications! Whatever you need I can help!
About: Hi, I’m a dedicated pet owner with two dogs and a cat of my own. I’ve had my cat for five years and my dogs for four, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do and it’s part of my everyday life. I’m used to different personalities and energy levels, from playful, high energy dogs to independent cats who like their space. Living with multiple pets has taught me how important routine, patience, and attention to detail really are. I work from home and am home throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision. I do have a toddler, so any pets staying with us should be comfortable around children. We live in an apartment complex with access to a dog park, which is great for safe play and getting energy out. On the one day a week I’m away briefly, my boyfriend works on property and is available to help with potty breaks and care. I know leaving your pet can feel stressful, so I’ll always do my best to make it easy and comfortable for both of you. When I’m caring for your pet, my goal is simple. Keep them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel secure until you’re back home. I’d love to meet your furry family member!
“Kristina went out of her way to help me out in a pinch! I got stuck on the other side of town and she dropped in…on less than an hour’s notice…to let my dogs out! I really appreciate her flexibility! Such a gem🤩!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Harrisburg is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,182 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
