“Lexi was great with Barkley! She is very caring and attentive and Barkley loves her. Lexi was also very responsive to owner feedback. I will definitely use her again.”

“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.”


About: My family has had dogs for 14 years and I've personally cared for my cat, Delilah, for 13 years. Throughout high school I regularly pet sat for family and friends, and today I'm the go-to sitter for my sister's cat and fish on an ongoing basis. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work a flexible schedule from home, which means I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I can accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits on most days, and I'm available for house sitting when owners are traveling. I'm reliable, communicative, and will always confirm scheduling details in advance so you never have to worry. I provide care in your pet's own home, which means they get to stay in the environment they know and love, no stress of a new place. I'm attentive to each pet's individual routine, dietary needs, and personality. I have 13 years of experience caring for my own senior cat, so I'm especially comfortable with pets that require extra attention or gentle handling. I always send updates and photos so you feel connected even when you're away.
“My babies are both seniors with medical needs. Dru was wonderful with them, and her visit left them calm and content. This gives me peace of mind to know that if I need to be away, they’re in such caring hands!”

“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!”


About: Hi! I am a dog lover turned helper. I love all dogs. I volunteer dog walking and assisting with dog training at my local shelters. I’m a dog mom to a senior Chihuahua mix. I work from home so I’m able to give your dog lots of attention and I live in a neighborhood so I’m able to walk your dogs with a dog park about 10 minutes away. I work full-time from home so I am able to pet and walk the dog pretty much whenever necessary. I personally take my old dog out every three hours. I have a senior Chihuahua so I can give your pet the same love and attention that I give my own dog. I live in a two-story house so there are stairs, but since my dog is on the older side, I carry my dog down the stairs, so I’m very accustomed to seeing your dogs as well
“Rachel was awesome! I had to adjust my trip and she was more than happy to adjust the drop in visit. She was great at loving on my cats and doing everything they needed.”

“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!”

“Stevie Ray connected almost immediately with Sarah, and that something that leaves me at peace knowing my pet was in very good hands. Loved all the pictures with the check ins, Thank you very much!”

“Danielle was awesome!! She took great care of our husky and cat and communicated regularly. She sent great photos too. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking with 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!”


“Halle is AH-MAZING. I made this reservation a week in advance, and she happily accepted. Then I was out of work sick with bronchitis and she was able to rearrange our outings and still take our dog out for walks which was a huge help. We appreciate her so much and couldn’t ask for a better sitter! We will continue to use her as long as we can!”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was six years old, having grown up with a variety of breeds. For the past 8 years, I’ve been actively pet sitting and dog walking, caring for everything from tiny terriers to giant breeds. I currently have a large dog of my own with a big personality and unpredictable behaviors, so I’m very comfortable handling excitable, quirky, or high-energy pets. I’m also experienced with administering medications—oral, topical or injections—as my own pup requires daily meds. Whether your dog needs a calm presence or someone who can match their playful energy, I’m here to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I truly love working with dogs and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate daytime visits, walks, and special needs. I have some days where I am busier than others, however I still manage my time well. I am available for drop ins, daily walks, and/or spending a little extra time with those who need it (or want it of course). Your pets will be in great hands!
“Amelia is great! She is reliable and communicates! There was a miscommunication of the dates needed but once we got that sorted everything went smoothly. I will definitely rebook Amelia again ☺️”

“Norma goes above and beyond! She communicated very well, even while I was abroad, and truly took the best possible care of my cats. I very highly recommend her as your future pet sitter!”

Harrisburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
