About: I have pet sat & house sat the past few years. I worked at an animal shelter & currently work at an animal hospital and look forward to meeting your babies! I am currently working at an animal hospital so my hours are long. I have three days a week off though & would love to fit in your babies during those times. I have every Tuesday & Sunday off & most Saturdays. I am looking to drop in and hang out with your babies as needed. I can provide good quality time & lots of pictures & would treat them like they are my own!
“Kristina was absolutely amazing. Our fur baby was very happy with her while we were gone. She had great communication and I’d highly recommend her. Thank you for loving on Tiko while we were away!”
“Abygail was incredibly flexible and accommodating for our dog walking/check in request. She was reliable and super responsive by message. We will definitely use her in the future if needed.”
“My first time using Rover and I had a bunch of questions and Dominique was extremely patient with me and very accommodating, Dominique made it very easy to rely on her and I had an extremely great experience. Thank you so much”
“Carina is the best! She did an amazing job with my Pit. Didn’t think twice about keeping him because of his breed. She’s very sweet and I will request/refer her to anyone!”
About: I"ve been a proud cat mother for 8 years. I love dogs but I was never willing to be a permanent dog owner because I understand the responsibility and I take that responsibility and have not been ready yet but I am ready to be your pet sitter. I have never known my one cat to be aggressive around dogs should you be looking for your dog to spend time in my home. In addition to my aspirations to be a pet sitter, I am a freelance recruiter and an aspiring actor. I have walked friends dogs before as well as stopped in for an in-home visit. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I currently have a recruiting business but no client work right now so I am wide open to help you with your pet care needs. I would absolutely make sure that I wrote down all the necessary instructions and followed them to the last word. I am very good with cat behavior.
“Keya helped me out last minute when my other walker was unexpectedly out of town. She came over immediately to meet my boy and then walked him the next day. She was so nice and easy to talk to and Chase seemed to love her the moment she walked in the door. She followed all my instructions and even gave him his antibiotic :) I look forward to having Keya over again for Chase! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Simply the best walker for my unruly Dobermans, they love her, and I do too! Trustworthy and very good judgement. Thank you! (and I did not end any booking, just had to rearrange and it resulted in a booking ending but another started).”
“Another great dog walking experience with Sage! She took my pup on walks this week, was super communicative during a thunderstorm, and sent the cutest pictures of my cat too :) thanks, Sage!”
About: My step-dad is a vet and I worked with him at the animal hospital from ages 11 to 26. We have a 66lb Berniedoodle (Preemo) and a cat (Guru). We have a big yard to play with dogs outside. It’s not fenced so dogs only go outside when supervised. I also trained aggressive dogs in the mountains of Mexico (Guanajuato) so they could get adopted instead of put down. I work during the day Mon-Fri and my wife mainly works from home so our pets aren’t rarely alone. I prefer to spend all day outside or at the park so dogs will get plenty of exercise. Our dog and cat love each other and everyone they’ve ever met. Our house is big and we have a lot of property to play fetch and run around.
“Meghan did a phenomenal job taking care Hugo!! She went above and beyond when taking care of him while I was away for work, giving him a well deserved treat after his walks. She was super flexible with her times which was invaluable for my busy work schedule! I will be booking her again!!”
About: I have 4 dogs at home and recently just fostered a puppy. I am a dog lover and very responsible and respectful of peoples property. I think i would be a great fit for your dog! I am in college and do have class but other than that i am free during the week! I will send you my schedule if interested! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets’ food and water on their normal schedule, provide exercise and playtime, and give them plenty of attention. I also keep their environment clean and secure, watch for any unusual behavior or health concerns, and communicate with the owner about how their pet is doing. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: Hey, I’m Nickey — a stay-at-home mom, dog lover, and proud pet parent of four big pups (who are kept completely separate from guests). I specialize in caring for small dogs only, giving them all the attention and comfort they deserve in a safe, loving home. I also have three little ones, ages 2 to 9, who are gentle and used to being around animals. If needed, I’m happy to keep your pup in their own quiet space away from the kids to ensure everyone stays relaxed and happy. I know how important it is to leave your dog somewhere that feels like home. That’s why I offer: • A stress-free environment just for small dogs • One-on-one attention • Frequent photo + video updates • A calm, cozy routine filled with love, care, and belly rubs Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to welcome your little one into my care 🐾✨ I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which means your pup will get plenty of love and attention throughout the day! I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding and daycare, and I’m home full-time — no rushing in or out. Whether it’s a short stay or a week-long vacation, your dog will be well cared for in a calm, cozy environment. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only accept small dogs, and I already have four large dogs of my own who stay in a separate part of the home. I also have three young kids (ages 2–9) who are great around pets but can be kept completely separate if needed. I provide a secure, smoke-free, kid-aware environment with lots of supervision, soft spaces to rest, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to crate your dog if requested and will follow any feeding, potty, or nap routines you provide.
“Amanda goes above and beyond with every walk! My dog is crazy so getting photos of him is tough. She brought her real camera along to snag a picture for me in sport mode. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds my entire life and truly treat every animal like my own. From playful pups to cuddly cats, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment while you’re away. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and the genuine bond I build with each pet, because they deserve more than just care, they deserve love. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around visits, feedings, walks, and check ins, making sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. I’m flexible and organized, so I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs while keeping everything running smoothly. “I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free. In a client’s or even in my own home, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention, playtime, or walks depending on their needs. I’m very respectful of each home and focus on giving pets consistent, loving care so they feel safe while their owners are away.
“Rachel was great with my dog Chance (60 lb Husky/ lab mix). I recently visited the Charlotte area and brought Chance with me. I was very nervous as I had not used Rover before and we were far from home. Rachel texted the day before to confirm, which put my mind at ease. Chance loved Rachel immediately. She was kind, loving and patient with Chance. She had excellent control over him on his walks and made his safety top priority. She was a strong communicator who gave us updates and pictures. If I ever return to Charlotte and need a dog walker or sitter, I would definitely rebook Rachel. I highly recommend her! 5 ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ from me and Chance!!!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Harrisburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
