“Sherry took great care of our cats while we were out on vacation in Europe for two weeks. She sent lots of cute pictures and videos of them both in the messaging and the Rover Cards. Knowing our cats were in caring hands helped us enjoy our trip more.”
“My senior Goldendoodle was so loved and cared for during visits by Emma. Emma was easy to work with in organizing the visits. She was on time for appointments and truly spent quality time with my pup. I trust her with being in my home and caring for my pet-family. I will call on Emma again...she's awesome!”
About: Available M,T,Th,F for evenings. W,Sa,Su available all day!! Hi there, I’m Kaisee and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I’ve worked closely with dogs (and cats) for many years now. From dog sitting and grooming to working at an emergency vet clinic, dogs have always had a special place with me. I understand that personal lives outside of the house can be hectic and that unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed everywhere we can go, I’m here to make sure your best friend/fur child will get the attention they need when you aren’t around and I promise not to spoil them too much. I can give grooming tips if needed and know how to train for basic commands, if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged best friend. :) I work early hours M,T,Th,F so I am off work every Wednesday and home by 4pm other days. I also know that work isn’t the only thing that keeps us out of the house. Can always check in before bed time so clients can enjoy a late night out. When entering a new clients residence I am sure to keep everything neat and tidy and make sure your pet is safe and healthy. Talking in a soft voice as to not scare any pets and make sure all things are secure before leaving.
“Taylor clearly intuitively understands cats/animals and is very diligent about providing daily feedback. I have been able to truly relax on my vacation, with confidence Clem is being well cared for. Thank you, Taylor! 🫶🏻❤️”
“I'm so happy we found Andrea! My dog is always good with new people but rarely makes a new BFF upon first meeting like he did with Andrea, the dog whisperer. When I mention that Andrea's coming over, I've gotta watch out for that helicopter-butt-whip-tail. Pretty sure our boy may actually prefer Andrea to us at this point 🤣 She's just so GOOD with our dog Morty, a pit mix, who while is very sweet, could appear intimidating...but not to Andrea! And he's been noticeably happier since Auntie Andrea came onto the scene. She's also super communicative, very reliable, and as a person, an absolute pleasure. I trust Andrea completely and will happily recommend her to anyone looking for dog/pet care from someone that legitimately cares for and loves your pet(s) like their own. She's the absolute best!”
About: Hi! I’m a part-time Speech-Language Pathologist, mom to an animal-loving son (school age), and lifelong pet lover with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets and those with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, shots for diabetic dogs, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, following detailed care routines, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are, especially for pets who need a little extra care. As both a healthcare professional and pet owner, I’m dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’ll care for them with the same compassion and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a part time SLP I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, day or evening drop ins or stay overs as needed! I have photos of my family (both furry and human) but only myself will be providing care for your pets. I have 4 dogs and large fenced in yard at my home in Grove city, so cannot provide care in our home as it is already a full house! However I am happily available to come to your home and spend time with your animal in their most familiar environment. I have had 11 dogs and 3 cats over the course of my adult life and have loads of experience with special needs animals, medication administration, injectable/diabetic animal treatment, seniors, special diet, allergies, you name it! I can also help with any plant care, fish feeding/cleaning or other household management tasks as needed.
About: Hi there, my name is Natalie, and I’ve been an animal lover since the beginning! I currently have 3 rescues; my dog Will Sniff, and my cats Pepperoni and Pumpkin. I have 8 years of experience with dogs and 3 years with cats. I work best with medium to low energy pets of any size and shape. I work nights so I’m free during the day, and I’m almost always free on weekends too. Since I have pets of my own, I understand the importance of everyone get the love and attention they deserve. I’ve been reading up on body language of cats and dogs to make sure I can anticipate everyone’s moods and actions. I also make sure toys and treats are pet safe and supervise pets during playtime. Pet safety is of the upmost important part of owning animals.
“Lindsey was amazing to work with! Great communication before and during her visit with our pup. You can really tell she cares about her clients ❤️ And our pup Duncan seemed very happy after her visit! We'll definitely use her services again.”
About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.
“Zack was amazing with my cat! This was my first time using Rover, and he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the process. He was extremely communicative while I was away and kept me informed about everything going on with Phileas. The daily photos were such a bonus and really put my mind at ease.”
“Riley did amazing with my dog Kiko. Kiko is very nervous and takes a long time warming up to new people but Riley knew what they were doing and was so patient with Kiko! They were reliable and took great care of Kiko. I will definitely be booking them again!”
“Allie was amazing and attentive to all our requests. She followed up with us punctually on how our cat was doing, updated us on when she was heading over/out, and was even successful in playing with our picky cat. We were extremely happy with Allie and would highly recommend her!”
“Nevaeh helped us navigate a tough situation where we emergently needed someone to watch one of our cats who recently had surgery. She took great care of him and was very timely in her responses as well. We would definitely want her to help pet sit for us again! She’s incredible ‼️😁”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 18 years and truly love spending time with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I’ll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work full-time in the Genetics Lab at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. My schedule allows me to provide pet care after work on weekdays and with flexible availability on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician and long time dog sitter for family and friends. I love meeting new pets and giving them lots of scratches! I’m a Veterinary Technician and I work at a pretty flexible job where I work 4 days a week and get two hour lunch breaks. Having the extra time over lunch allows me to check on pets mid day and do walks/meds/lunch feedings etc. I usually do care in clients homes rather than my own. However, watching pets in my home can be worked as long as they get along with other dogs and cats. I have two very dog friendly dogs and a couple very happy and cuddly cats!
“Sahara was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our cats, Cleo and Calvin, while we were away for a weekend trip. She spent 30–40 minutes each visit playing with them, feeding them, and making sure they were comfortable and happy. We really appreciated the photo updates — seeing Cleo and Calvin totally put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Sahara, and we would definitely book with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,263 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
