“Eden was great and kept me informed during the drop in visit! She gives lots of pets to Beamer making him feel loved. She is always prompt and very responsive to my questions as well! Thanks!”
“Teresa is the absolute BEST! She was wonderful with my two huskies, even with one of them being a bit stubborn and shy. She kept me updated the entire time, so I always knew how my pups were doing while I was away and needed extra help during the day. I came home to two very happy dogs who were clearly well cared for. I would recommend Teresa to anyone looking for top‑notch care for their pets!”

She even accepted our request last minute, and I’m truly grateful for her reliability and kindness. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and dependable 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.

She is attentive, caring, thoughtful, trustworthy, and gives great detail about letting us know how our dog is doing after her visits. She has really helped ease my worries about leaving our dog home alone while we’re at work. It’s obvious she loves animals and has great experience taking care of them. Our dog can’t wait to have her come back and play! Thank you, Victory!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Logan and Audrey were amazing! After moving areas and out of range from our old Rover sitter we used many times, I was hoping to find another great fit. My cat seemed very happy and connected to them based on the many (awesome) photos they sent each day, and they left the cat areas of the house clean as well. Definitely recommend them to anyone who needs their pet well-cared for and plan to work with them again in the future.
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 5,403 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
- 97% 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.
