“Justin was everything we were looking for to help us last minute. He was very accommodating, punctual, and had consistent communication. He took time to go over everything for our dog Kona and followed directions perfectly. I would highly recommend Justin and we will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
About: I’ve been house sitting and taking care of other pets since I was a girl. I love going on long walks for my own health and would enjoy taking your pup along with me! Year round weather doesn’t bother this midwest gal! I’m home full-time and with kiddos in school I have a very flexible schedule for walks and boarding. Sitting alone in a cage while you’re at work or out of town will never need to be a worry in our home. Our whole family loves having pets around and they will receive as much attention as you are comfortable with. We currently have no pets of our own, but live in a pet friendly community with a fenced in dog run a few steps from our door. If more exercise is needed, long walks are a delight for me. I am happy to meet the needs of your pup throughout the day.
“Kristin did a great job taking care of our grumpy kitty, Linus! Very communicative and got a picture of him at every drop-in (even when he was mostly hiding)! Definitely would recommend and book again!”
About: Hi there, I’m Kaisee and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I’ve been working closely with dogs (and cats) for many years now. From dog sitting and grooming to working at an emergency vet clinic now, 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-F, so I am off work by 2pm and can make those early afternoon check ins. 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.
“Amazing drop-in visit! Madigan was punctual, kind, and gave thoughtful updates with adorable photos. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional. Truly trustworthy and compassionate—we’re so thankful and will rebook without hesitation!”
“Lacey did great with our two dogs. Even after not seeing her for a few months, Lacey was easily able to get them comfortable with her in their space. Lacey is awesome!”
“She is awesome! Very fast communication, took great care of my dog and gave him love, he looked so happy in all the pics! I will definitely be having you take care of him next time if I ever need!”
“Was absolutely wonderful taking care of our cat, posted regular check-in information and made us feel relaxed knowing our cat was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“This is the 3rd time I have asked Avery to check-in on my four kitties while I was away on vacation, and she continues to be an exceptional cat-sitter! She is very responsive and detailed in her notes. She is my go-to for daily check-ins!”
“Kara did an incredible job handling my anxious big boy. Talking through some things she was seeing and keeping me incredibly well informed. Her care and attention is clear to see from the moment she starts interacting to the conclusion of the visit. Many thanks Kara!”
“Taylor was prompt in her replies, even when I did a last minute booking! She was great with the kiddos, they were taken care of very well. My dog Vali got nice walks and lots of pets. Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.”
About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.
“Courteney has dropped in multiple times and for multiple days to care for our elderly cat as we have traveled far and wide. We have never worried about our kitty while we were away and Courteney was on duty. She is extremely dependable, trustworthy, stays in contact regularly, and is sensitive to animals' temperament and moods. I highly recommend her without reservation!”
“Katie visited our senior girl twice a day for a week while we were on vacation and she was great! Her response time was quick, and her check-in messages were thorough and left us feeling assured everything we requested while we were away was being handled as we hoped. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Tenne and Winston, along with us truly appreciate you being available last minute!! Thank you for taking care of our pups so we could go out of town for the day today!”
“Thanks Talia for taking such good care of Calliope and Orpheus! We looked forward to looking at your Rover cards after every visit to see how the kitties were doing, and it was clear that they were feeling happy and loved. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs but I also love cats! I am open to all animals as well. I am currently working as a pet attendant and also am K9 CPR/First aid certified. I currently work part time. I am mostly looking for weekend work during the day/afternoon! Depending on the day I may be able to do a special accommodation! I am open to any requirements you have for taking care of your pet! I am big on honesty,constructive criticism, and communication as well so there is no need to worry that your pet isn’t getting what they need!

Madigan did a wonderful job checking in on our kitties while we were out of town! She was comfortable with giving my elderly cat her insulin injections and oral medications and did a great job giving them to her. She wrote detailed notes about each visit, took lots of great pictures, and showed our kitties lots of love. Would recommend Madigan- she will do an awesome job taking care of your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,239 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrisburg. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
