About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

“Savannah did a great job with my dog. She showed up on time, walked her for the full 30 mins, made sure she had water, and left informative comments/pictures for me to review. I definitely want to book her again in the future!”

About: Animals have been my passion ever since I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals when I grew up and ive owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and turtles. I spent lots of time as a kid taking care of my own pets as well as family and friends. When I was 14 I began volunteering at non-profit animal shelters and when I was old enough I got a job working as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital where I oversaw dogs, cats, and birds and handled their food and medications. I also lived in Utah for a year where I worked for an independently owned pet care company that offered services for cats, dogs, birds, and more! I absolutely adore animals, and id love to give your fur and feather babies the care they deserve I am currently available mon-sun from 9:00am - 7:00pm with flexibility depending on the day. I want to put as much time as possible into this! I am very respectful and have in-home pet care experience. I like to leave a home nicer than i found it. I make sure to give your pet the full attention they deserve and go above and beyond
About: Owned dogs for majority of my life, a couple rescues and one that the owner could no longer care for. Get along with every dog I have met. Willing to drive them to different locations for walks and to get them out of the house. Very trustworthy with people, animals, and homes. Have experience walking animals and house-sitting. Want to help people with their pets to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I feel dogs deserve so much in life and my hope is that I can repay them for what they have given me by making sure they are happy. Also want to help their owners because I remember how stressful it was when I would go on vacations or even short trips and worrying about our dogs and if they would be cared for.
“Allie was amazing, I told her my needs and she absolutely a treat for my dog Gogo on her walks. Very much sold me in becoming a regular client of hers now! Thank you Allie!”

About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.
“Vanessa has been our dog walker for almost a year. She is professional, communicate & make sure your energetic pup gets the exercise he needs! I very highly recommend Vanessa for any of your pets needs!”

About: I have 2 beautiful dogs. I have been taking care of dogs for over seven years now. I have personally trained my own dogs and their are both well behaved boys! Hi there! 🐾 I’m excited to offer reliable, compassionate pet care services designed to keep your furry family members happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services every day except Tuesday, as well as doggy daycare on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. As a full-time nursing student, I’ve developed strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and care. My background in healthcare means I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. While I may not have formal veterinary training, I bring a nurturing, detail-oriented approach that translates naturally into high-quality pet care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is structured but flexible within my available days. Because I am in school full-time, I carefully plan my availability to ensure I can dedicate quality time and focused attention to each pet I care for. I do not rush visits—I prioritize meaningful interaction so your pet feels comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” Whether you need a quick drop-in, a refreshing walk, or a full day of care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! 🐶💛 I can care for your fur babies in any environment. In my home I have a fenced in backyard where your baby can run free. I treat animals like humans and they are all welcomed on the furniture! I try to stay fairly active so I can take your dog on short jogs or long walks.

About: Hey there! I’m a 22 year-old, incoming medical student at OSU who has absolutely loved dogs my entire life. I have the cutest mini goldendoodle at home (shoutout Cooper) and have taken care of him for five and a half awesome years! I also used to live with a golden retriever puppy for two years during college and adored taking her on walks/looking after her when my roommate was out of town:) I’m currently taking a break before school starts up in August so I will have plenty of time to keep your pets company! I will also continue my services during the school year primarily on weekends and a couple weekdays, depending on my exam schedule. My dog (Cooper) likes the indoors, so I mostly keep him inside. However, I am extremely comfortable with keeping pets company outside if they are fenced in! I also take Cooper on long walks in the mornings and evenings plus a shorter walk in the middle of the day! I would be happy to do the same with your pups or walk your pets according to the schedule you already have in place for them.

About: I love animals and have grown up around them my whole life. Not only did I spend a lot of time with my own dogs and cats I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter where I took care of and cleaned up for cats and dogs. I also took care of my dogs while they were injured and gave them medicine and baths when their wounds needed cleaned. I currently am working an overnight job and trying to save up for my next year of college and I have a lot of free time during the day. I offer dog and cat sitting in the owners home to ensure your pet stays comfortable. I am respectful of your space and I am mindful of all your household rules.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.
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!
About: Currently not employed anywhere else so your pet will receive my full time and attention. I love being outside so if walks for your pooch are required, rest easy knowing they will be plenty exercised while you’re away. I’ve had experience with big dogs and small, senior dogs and puppies, adult cats and kittens. I have experience clipping nails and claws and have no problem giving baths if needed. Currently unemployed so my routine is wide open to add a few furry clients. I also have a helper so if more assistance is needed for the animals, I’m capable of handling it Willing to be in the home the entire booked stay. Will follow the feeding and exercise schedule left for me by the owners. Keep pets comfortable and at ease
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 going on 3 years now. 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. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. 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.
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets for the last 25 years. Not only do I care for other's fur babies but I am a fur mama myself. I have cared for young animals and seniors and have experience giving medication if needed. My schedule is very flexible. I am typically available any day of the week and I am also open to early mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays. I know what it is like to love a pet, so I know how important it is to make sure that they are in safe and trusting hands. I will follow any rules you have in place in your home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,558 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Harrisburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Harrisburg.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrisburg. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
