“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Emily, I have 6 years experience in professional pet sitting and dog walking. Looking to expand and meet more pets and parents! Experience • Veterinary assistant background in general practice and urgent care • professional insured business experience since 2020; providing pet care full-time since 2024 • Currently enrolled in an online veterinary technician program Fear Free Certifications • Level 2 — Dogs & Cats • Avian • Equine Specialty I specialize in providing services for fearful, anxious, and reactive pets. All pets are welcome, with care tailored to their comfort, personality, and routine! I have been providing full-time services since 2024 while pursuing my veterinary technician degree online. My online coursework allows me to plan my studies around scheduled pet care appointments. I’m joining Rover as an additional way to reach local pet owners and expand my established clientele. As a full-time pet care provider, I schedule visits around your pet’s usual care times to keep their routine consistent, with each visit dedicated to their needs. I follow your feeding, exercise, medication, and home security instructions, use a patient, Fear Free approach, and keep you updated with photos and any concerns.
“Taylor was amazing with my two cats!! I was gone on vacation for a week and never worried once because I knew my boys were in good hands!! Her communication was solid and care was much appreciated. Definitely would recommend Taylor to anyone!!”
“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: 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.
“Hailey did a great job taking care of our cats and loving on them while we were out of town! She also did a good job giving my elderly cat her insulin injections. Would recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Autumn was such a lovely sitter for my babies! I love that she sent lots of pics and gave me little updates. It means a lot to know my cats are well taken care of when i’m away❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her since she was 7 months old. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
“Angela was a tremendous help taking care of Edgar while we were away for a few days. She did fantastic and our Edgar loved spending time with her! Would rehire again!”
“Jayde was amazing! Our girl Luna absolutely fell in love with her and had the best time. She kept us updated, took great care of Luna, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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!”
About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 24 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!

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.
“Kaelin is so amazing with our Senior Gentleman kitty!🐈⬛ I know he snuggled and loved the whole time we are gone. She is great at giving him meds and giving me updates on his health while away. I have no stress or fear while away as Kaelin gives us peace of mind while she is with our little lovey boy. She is wonderful!”
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!
About: I grew up around dogs, never having lived without one. I love all animals, and firmly believe that no matter what, they all deserve love and care. I currently work part time with a varied schedule, so I will typically have half of any day of the week to provide pet care. Whenever I am unable to directly watch a dog, I will crate them; I am NEVER comfortable leaving a dog roaming free by themselves. I apply toddler logic basically: the worst things always happen when you turn your back on them. However I understand that there can be exceptions, such as a dog or cat that roams freely without any issues whatsoever. I never want to put an animal in a situation where they may cause harm to themselves or others, and I am more than happy to comply with any specific safety standards you have set for your own pet's health and well-being.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 422 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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
