“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!”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing while caring for our dog, Prince! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands during our time away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What really stood out was her consistent communication—she sent us regular updates, along with pictures and messages that gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for Prince was. It made being away so much easier. Prince seemed comfortable, relaxed, and well-loved when we returned, which speaks volumes about the care Abigail provided. We are so grateful for her dedication and thoughtfulness. We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter—we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Thank you! This couldn't have gone better. We have been on such a long journey to get him to where he can be alone for extended periods of time and he finally did it! Thank you for all your help for all this time!”
“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: I’ve trained 3 of my own puppies as well as crate trained a few. I’ve loved 6 dogs and 3 cats throughout my lifetime and can’t wait to meet yours! I currently am unable to work a traditional job due to health reasons so you can rest assured all my attention will be on your animals. I have a fenced in yard, a surplus of treats, toys, and beds, as well as a friendly dog and cat you can chose to have you pet play with or a private space in my home where they will have toys, food, water, and entertainment with regular checkups, potty breaks and outside time.
About: I am very fun with animals but also very organized. I enjoy taking time to play and have fun with them but when things need to get done like taking them out to use the bathroom, eating, or taking a nap, I will be sure to complete those tasks aswell I will be moving away for college in early August and am taking a little time away from my job at Chick-fil-A to get ready for this new change. While taking time off, I would love to continue doing smaller jobs on the side. I think working with animals would be a perfect mix of fun and exciting! I love spending time playing with any animal to help them get tired and get a good sleep but I also love taking time to give the animal love and attention to make sure they are not bored or lonely.
“So sweet and great with my two mini schnauzers. Took them out for a quick bathroom break, gave them treats, and even gave them a couple scratches to comfort them! Definitely recommend!”
“Rachel sent us pictures of every visit, which made being away so much easier! She was flexible when we needed to make schedule adjustments, and has excellent communication! Definitely will have her watch our pups again!!”
“Logan did a great job watching our 2 cats. He followed our instructions to the “T”. The visit updates and pics were nice and descriptive; reassuring us things were going well. Came home to two very happy cats! Would highly recommend and will definitely book with him again.”
About: Pets naturally warm up to me! I bring excellent pet care experience from raising my cat, Kiba, ensuring your furry family member receives genuine love, patience, and top-tier attention. I am available around the clock, every single day, offering constant supervision, flexible scheduling, and dedicated attention whenever your pet needs me. Same day availability. Indoors, I ensure a clean, safe environment with fresh water and companionship. Outdoors, I provide structured, attentive leash walks tailored to your pet's energy level.
“Cristal went above and beyond repeatedly for my boys. I have two senior large breed dogs, and they’re a lot. One has ivdd and has eaten 90% of his tail and repeatedly tries to get to it to chew more off, as well as some GI issues right now and Cristal expressed so much concern and care for his wellbeing while I attended my brothers wedding. She did such a good job that my girlfriend was jealous that she was taking care of the dogs and not her haha, silly I know. But I could not recommend anyone more than I would Cristal. An exceptional human being and incredibly caring pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Love Lauren excellent personality. First time meeting 😌 my Bosco and she handled him well. Their first walk was great, Bosco came back exhausted- objective met Yea. Thanks 😊 so Much and will book often.”
“Sara is the best! We always know our kitties are in capable and caring hands when they are in her care. We also appreciate how communicative and responsive she is to any needs that arise.”
About: Cared for the pets of friends and family as well as my own 4 dogs for the past 6 and a half years. Would love to care for your pets as well! I have a flexible schedule so drop-in visits and dog walks can be scheduled throughout the week and I have even more flexibility on nights and weekends. I will follow all instructions for drop-in visits and dog walks. Just let me know your pet’s routines and I will be sure to take care of pets require medication/ special food etc.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,459 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrisburg. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
