“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!”
“Rachel, was able to accommodate a last minute need for dog walking and care. She was not only incredibly professional, but she was very responsive and even shared something she observed about my dog that I had missed. I will absolutely book her in the future. Thank you Rachel.. you were wonderful.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and have worked professionally in dog and cat daycare and boarding. I love getting to know and taking care of people’s greatest companions! I have experience home sitting and daily drop in care. I also have experience administering medicines. I look forward to getting to know your furry family! Im currently a college student and have a part time job, both of which are very flexible and easy to work around. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m generally unavailable from 10-11:30 am but am free beyond that! I’m more than willing and able to work around each of our schedules to make something work! I am happy to meet your pet where they are most comfortable in their own home, this tends to help the shyest of pets warm up to me so I can take the best care of them possible. If available, I also love having an initial meeting with you to go over your pets details and meet them while their safe person is still present! However, I’m also comfortable meeting them on my own if that is what works for your schedule. Your fur friends comfort and safety is my biggest priority!
“Logan is the best! Our cats loved him. He was even able to get our cat who hides all the time out and playing! We will definitely be using Logan for all our future sitting needs!”
“She watched my 3 cats for about a week and she did absolutely amazing! She was very sweet and followed the feeding instructions to a T! Will definitely be rebooking with her if I ever need a pet sitter again 🩷”
“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.”
About: Cared for the pets of friends and family as well as my own dogs for the past 7 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.

“Audrey took amazing care of my pups and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays attention to the little details.”
“Victory has been a great sitter for us. We have two very different dogs and they both LOVE her. Our yard can be a muddy mess and she does a great job handling the messy pups. She always tries to make time to drop in when we need her. Overall we would definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Tasha was great!! We have two small dogs and a new kitten and traveled for 3 nights over the 4th of July weekend. She took great care of our babies, the house was in good shape, the pets were happy, and she sent lots of pics to let us know our pets were doing well. We will definitely book her again!”
“This was the second time that I booked Michelle to drop in on my Maine Coon cat. She is amazing and did a great job both times. She is very responsible, quick to respond, and is efficient and thorough with messaging and the information provided on the check in cards. Knowing Michelle was taking care of Stasi's needs gave me peace of mind.”
“I had to schedule some last-minute petsitting from abroad and Melissa was very accommodating! It was so nice having peace of mind in what could have been a stressful situation. I enjoyed getting pictures of my pets getting lots of love. Thank you, Melissa!”
“We have used Claire a number of times over the last year to both board and check in on our cat, Crabcake. She is extremely reliable and takes great care of Crabcake. We highly recommend her!”

Pet 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 for Pet Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,420 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.
