“This was our first time to use Rover and we couldn’t be more happy with the care our cat Opie received while we were away. Jeffrey was great! We will definitely use his services again. =)”


“Dominique stayed at our home for 5 nights, watching our two dogs. She was very communicative, and shared many great and cute photos! She left the home immaculate and we could not have asked for a better in-home sitter!”

“Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.”

“Andrea has done a great job taking care of my furry baby in multiple occasions and for different periods of time, he is only 10 months and she is always very kind and patient. We are glad we find her !”

“Logan was so great with our dogs and we would definitely book him again! One of them has resource guarding issues and Logan was confident in handling any aggression that might come up. He spent tons of time with them, walked them and played outside a bunch too. He asked how much communication / how often we wanted updates and sent tons of great pictures. He even printed out a few for us to have for frames, which was so thoughtful and sweet! I could tell our dogs had a great time with him and I felt great about having him there watching them. Logan also made sure to ask questions during the meet and greet and made me feel confident that he could handle any issues and that he cared for my dogs. I would definitely recommend him to others!”

“Nina was/is WONDERFUL 🫶🏻 she did a meet and greet with our boys before staying and they took to her instantly. During her stay she updated us and sent pictures. I know she truly cared for our babies as her own and will definitely keep in contact for future needs!”

“Awesome experience - will definitely look to book with her again next time we're out of town. We received great pics while we were away. It was nice seeing our dogs snuggling up with her looking comfortable and relaxed. One of our pups was having some allergy issues while we were away. We received pics pretty quickly when she started looking a little rashy and asking us to confirm how we wanted her to handle it (as we had discussed before the trip). She reacted fast and our dog was happy and healthy by the time we got home with no rash or redness at all. We're very happy to recommend her. Our dogs and our home were in great hands while we were away.”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have spent the last 9 years pet sitting for friends and family. I also worked in pet stores for a while, so I’ve cared for all animals. I’m a student over at UNCC, so I’m in the University City area pretty much 24/7. When I’m watching your pet, I treat them like my own. I’m super careful about making sure harnesses are secure on walks and staying on top of feeding times or meds. You’ll definitely get a ton of photo updates from me while you're away so you know they’re doing okay! I am currently on summer break so I am open to whenever you need me. I have a car so I am able to drive as well. I have plenty of experience with all animals. I have been pet sitting for years as well as worked at pet stores and handled pet care so I have experience with all types of animals.
“Thank you so much for caring and taking care of our cats!!! I really appreciate you caring about their safety and wellbeing as much as we do, and I genuinely appreciate all of the communications and pictures. We will definitely use you again!”

“Karena was a wonderful pet sitter for us! Our usually skittish chihuahua mix even came to like sitting by jet and getting pets. Her calm caring energy really helps anxious dogs! Karena also sent pics and videos throughout our booking which was very reassuring. Overall, we highly recommend her!”

“Victory was great! Our pups loved her. She sent photos and updates daily. Everything was left neat and tidy. If you need a very personable and caring sitter call Victory!”

“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”

“Chelsea did an amazing job with Winnie. I know how excited Winnie can be when meeting new people and Chelsea handled it very well. Thank you! I will be booking again.”

“Leah was absolutely wonderful with Raven and Ginger, giving them attentive, loving care the entire time she stayed in our home. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The house was left spotless, and it was clear our girls felt comfortable and well‑looked‑after. We would happily welcome her back and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, caring sitter.”

“Kendall was very communicative and reliable during her time watching our 9 year old lab. She sent pictures so we knew Trooper was enjoying his time with her. She was very easy to work with and dependable. Reccommend!”


About: Hi, I’m Anneliese! As a dog owner for over 13 years, I know firsthand that pets are truly family. I understand that every single pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and routine, and I pride myself on taking the time to truly understand what makes your furry friend feel safe and happy. Whether it’s matching the high energy of a spirited small dog, respecting the independent boundaries of a cat, or maintaining the peaceful routine of a senior pet, I’m here to provide dedicated, personalized care. I’ll treat your home with total respect and your pets like my own! My schedule is perfectly suited for house and pet sitting. I am a full-time student taking online classes, which means my 'desk' moves wherever I go! I’m highly flexible and will be spending most of my day right alongside your pet, keeping them company while I study. Your pet gets a dedicated buddy, and you get peace of mind knowing their routine won't be disrupted. To ensure the absolute best experience for your pet, I exclusively offer house sitting and pet care inside your home. At my own home, I have a happy family of four cats and one dog, so I know firsthand how stressful a crowded or unfamiliar environment can be for animals! By coming to your home, I ensure your pet gets to stay in their safe, comfortable haven with 100% of my undivided attention. My personal 'zoo' has taught me that every single animal has a distinct personality, boundary, and set of needs. I will treat your home with the utmoste respect while following your exact routine for feeding, playtime, and safety. Because my college classes are mostly online, I will be around your house for most of the day, keeping your pet company and sending you plenty of photo updates!
“She was amazing. She was in time stayed and did everything we asked. She took pictures everyday and gave us updates. By far one of the best on the site. Will be using her again”

About: My personal exposure to pets ranges from 3 large dogs to 2 cats of very different personalities! My sweet dog, Ruby, was adopted when she was 1 month old and has been my best friend for 11 years. She is a Heeler (high energy, I know!), which means I know the importance of attention and exercise for high energy animals. Since I have raised her from her little years, puppies are not a struggle for me! I know the importance of attention and careful care to ensure the little ones don't hurt themselves, others or destroy anything in their wake. My previous pets have lived long happy lives, with their senior years giving me amazing skills when caring for friends, family and other client's senior pets. Due to my personal experiences with a senior pet, I know the importance of their schedule and care. But also the fear felt by pet owners when leaving their sweet senior in the hands of a stranger. So regardless of if they are little babies, in the prime of their life or old and wise, I will take care of your pet like its my own till you return! I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. Since I have open availability, what you need for your pet is my priority. I can do whatever your pet needs! I have stayed at clients homes previously, both after our initial visit as well as neighbors. Like my care with your pet, treating your space with only respect and care is my priority. Along with caring for your pet, I will take great care of your space regardless if I am staying there or just visiting during your time away. Also, if you have plants that need care... I am happy to see to them as well! I am a plant parent too!

Harrisburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jaqui is so great! She communicated with us and sent plenty of pictures. She took great care of our home leaving it cleaner than she’d found it. She was with our nervous pup for a week and took such good care of her. It was a relief to know she was there taking care of things for us.

Laney is amazing! She was so punctual for any meeting we had. She always got up the same time every morning to take care of our 4 animals. She sent us pictures while we were gone and left the house exactly as we left it while being comfortable but extremely respectful of our house. Could not recommend more.

We couldn’t have asked for a better rover than Sam to watch our dog for a week when we went on vacation! She was consistently updating us with pictures and we were NEVER worried for a second about our dog while we were away. Our dog definitely loved her and she was great with him especially considering he’s very big and energetic. Overall, we would recommend Sam to anybody and will definitely be booking with her in the future!
