“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I am just so thrilled that I found Claire! She was amazing and this is the first time I have been able to travel without all this stress about my cats. I have 2 cats that need medication and Claire was able to handle them like a champ. She came twice a day and was always on time and did everything that I asked. I hope she will be available the next time we are out of town- she was wonderful!!”
“Victoria was great and our dog Denver was happy to see her when she came over to let him out. We met prior to Denver’s visit so she could meet him. She was very friendly and polite. Look forward to having Victoria watch Denver in the future.”
“Yasmein was so amazing with our two cats! We felt very comfortable and knew our fur babies were well taken care of. Her check-ins and updates were very thorough and the communication overall was great for the whole experience. We are so grateful for her and our cats loved her too!”
“Jamie was super communicative and committed to building a relationship with our cats! I truly appreciate her flexibility and ability to take care of our cats during a short weekend trip. Will definitely recommend and will be booking again. Thank you, Jamie.”
“Sheyla is such a a sweetheart and was good to & with my baby, she even brought him a little gift. I had a last minute trip come up and she really came through for me. Would definitely recommend her. And I'm sure my little guy would be thrilled to see her again ✨”
“Sharon is amazing!! My cat loves her, and she is great with him. Even spritzes my plants for me :) My cat had a really bad UTI from stress while I was gone for the holiday, and she was able to take him to the vet for me while I was out of state and get meds for him. She really will go above and beyond for you and your pet if needed.”
“Hannah took wonderful care of our kitten and was always very responsive and attentive. We were nervous to leave a new pet behind, but Hannah eased all of our concerns and went above and beyond to care for our cat like her own. She was very knowledgeable and took initiative to solve any issue that came up. We are so grateful for Hannah’s care while we were away!!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who will treat your pets with patience, attention, and lots of love! I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company, I’ll give your pup the attention they deserve Friday-Sunday I am very flexible with the times. On Tuesdays I am flexible after 2 pm. Wednesdays I will be available after 12 pm! And Mondays I am free mornings and nights. I have two fury dogs to keep your dog some company, I have a backyard for them to enjoy. I still walk my own dogs twice a day so they get some energy out regardless.
“Kristina did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our kitten Corduroy! She was friendly and I really appreciated the detailed updates and pictures she provided. She was extremely considerate, respectful, and reliable. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals of all sizes, ages & behaviors. Good with oral medication administration, high energy pups & leash training! Past experience with training a food aggressive pup. Love a long walk at the white water center, parks & the beautiful city of Charlotte. Can’t wait to meet your sweet pets. I love animals, being outdoors & keeping busy. Whats a better way to spend my weekend doing the three things I love while also helping you, by being your fur babies reliable & caring pet sitter! I am happy to take care of your pet in whatever way they need. That can be taking them for an adventurous walk at the park, around the city or even your neighborhood. Playing with them in the back yard or just hanging out at the house for a few hours. Experienced with crating if needed at the end of the stay!
About: Hey, I’m Doug. I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve owned and loved several different breeds over the years, and right now I share my home with a big, lovable German Shepherd and a 16 year old calico cat who has a lot of sass and attitude. I’m also a dad of two, and while my kids are in school I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love being outside, going on long walks, throwing the ball, and ending the day with plenty of snuggles. I’m very responsible and take pet care seriously, but I also try to keep things easy and fun. I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like they’re part of the family, I’d love to help out. I’m primarily available on weekdays between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm, which lines up well with mid day check ins, drop ins, and visits while you’re at work. I’m also available some evenings, depending on the day. I can probably work with your schedule, just message me! I’m a parent of two, so I focus on providing reliable care during school hours and select evenings when I can give your pet my full attention. If you have a schedule question or a special request, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to talk through what might work best. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important familiarity is, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medication, litter box care, playtime, and any little quirks your pet might have. I always make sure your home is left just as I found it. Food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes are scooped, and I do a quick check to make sure everything looks safe and secure before I leave. I also spend time with your pet based on what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s playtime, gentle attention, or just calm company. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos so you know how things are going and can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well cared for.
“Chelsea was wonderful with my cat and made my stay away from my furry family member less stressful. Chelsea is so caring and loving, my cat immediately loved her. I will book again with Chelsea in the near future.”
“Tatiana was amazing with our dog Titan! She took good care of him and communicated with me throughout the entire booking. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Dominique is amazing! She was available to come in on short notice and meet the pups the night before we had to leave for a family funeral. I was in a pinch to find someone to come and let the babies out a couple of times during the day and Dominique is our Godsend! A million thank you’s for taking such good care of our fur babies whille we were away.”
About: I love animals and I know how much they mean to us! As a kitty and doggie auntie herself I’m always running and playing with them! I can administer medicine if needed also! I will soon be available to take care of your fur babies needs! I can visit twice a day if need be! My schedule is opening up! I can come play with your fur baby! I also have experience with giving medicine if needed. I am very versatile if there is any other accommodation you need!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
This is the 2nd time Logan and Audrey watched our cat, and the experience was just as exceptional as the last time. Our cat was happy, fed, care for, and many great photos shared every visit. Highly recommend Logan and Audrey! Until the next time, thank you!
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 of Pet Sitting in Harrisburg is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,340 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters 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 sitter.
