About: Lifelong dog owner with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including training multiple puppies. Also experienced with cats and small animals. Reliable, attentive, and dedicated to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, as I care for my own dog. Incorporating additional pet care feels very natural to me. I plan my schedule around the needs of the animals I’m responsible for to ensure they receive consistent care and attention. After May 15th, I will have full availability and will be able to provide care any day of the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight if needed. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy level. Whether a dog enjoys relaxing and cuddling on the couch or prefers active play like fetch or walks, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable and engaged. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also pay close attention to any specific instructions from the owner, including medications, behavioral preferences, or routines, to ensure consistency and a stress free experience for the pet.
“Justine has been doing a fantastic job with my dog, Daphne. I can tell by the pictures and short interactions I've seen with them that she and Daphne built a bond very quickly which is a testament to Justine's care and experience. I look forward to our continued bookings!”

About: All my life I’ve been obsessed with dogs 🐶 When I was finishing up nursing school, I needed to find some part time work to help make ends meet. I found a job as a kennel technician at a commercial dog boarding facility - where I mostly cleaned up to 36 dogs daily messes and gave them social enrichment. I quickly jumped up the short ladder of management and took over as CEO right around my first year mark of employment. I have cared for hundreds, possibly a thousand plus dogs in the last half of my entire lifetime. I’ve worked hard to help dogs and owners alike understand eachother better - communication often needs no words. I specialize in “project pups”, socialization and reactivity. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to teenage obedience school dropouts - through the medically fragile & elderly pooches on palliative care & absolutely everything in between. I’ve worked in a rescue as an adoption coordinator and had the extreme pleasure of helping people and pooches find their forever spaces together. Along with rescuing over a dozen dogs of my own over the years & nursing several back to health from horrific conditions. Dogs are my passion - simple as that. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog & owner relationship thrive. I am a stay at home mom, my boys are 2 & 3 years old. They’ve been raised around dogs & already have learned a healthy respect for their space. I am hyper vigilant & always err on the extreme side of caution for everyone’s safety - especially when it comes to those tricky resources. Other than weekly appointments on Mondays - we have a very flexible and open schedule. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 foot - reinforced wood fencing. Gates are double locked to keep toddlers from opening them - dogs too. I have a 10 year old spayed female border collie that I picked from her litter at 3 weeks old. She’s my right hand gal and socially bulletproof when it comes to hanging out with her furry friends. I often used her as the “Ice Breaker” dog when I ran the boarding facility - meaning she did all the temperament testing for any newly boarded dogs we were socially unsure about. We have multiple baby gates, and crate option for separation of space. A dog door built into our back door leading into our fully fenced, toddlerized but maintained, grassy residential yard on a quarter acre. We live in a very quiet tiny town on an even quieter little street, perfect for safely regulated walks and training opportunities.

“Teya was great with my pup! Quick response & timely during her visits. She followed all the directions I gave her and was even able to accommodate a last minute change of schedule. Sent great pics & even performed tricks with my pup from a list I gave her. Would book her again for walks/home visits :)”

About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.

About: I provide reliable, in-home pet care focused on consistency, safety, and following each pet’s established routine. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments, including rescues, seniors, and high-maintenance pets. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and environmental safety, and I adjust my approach based on the individual animal rather than using a one-size-fits-all style. I’m comfortable administering medications, adhering to strict care instructions, and maintaining routines so pets feel secure while their owners are away. Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule intentionally to allow for dependable drop-ins, walks, and in-home visits, with flexibility to accommodate regular check-ins, travel schedules, and repeat clients. I provide care exclusively in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and communicate clearly with owners to ensure trust and consistency.

About: Experienced with all animals as well as even providing shots and medical care. I will love them until you come back home. I have two dogs of my own one is a mastiff so I am experienced with big dogs and my other pup has suffered from anxiety so I am very understanding of animals that may suffer from separation anxiety. Pups will be in good hands :) I am available mostly on weekends but can definitely make time during the week if I know in advance :) I love all dogs big or small and look forward to helping you out. :) I can provide pictures with updates and phone calls whenever you need or have worries. I can offer constant communication if needed :)
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!
About: I have always loved dogs. Growing up we always had two. As an adult I am dog mom to a 12 yr old Lab Doberman who is the sweetest. I have been dog sitting though my entire adult life all ages and sizes! I do currently work full time Monday through Thursday. If your house is close enough I am always able to stop in on my lunch for a mid day break. Unfortunately I am not able to have any friends come stay at my house. At your house though I will follow whatever rules you have. I do enjoy a house that lets the dog be part of the family on furniture and beds:) just like everyone else.
About: I currently work part time as a fulfillment handler for a dog training company. I've had pets all my life, and have a special bond with dogs. I enjoy all animals, and have a dog right now who's a 6 year old beagle mix. I've had a few dogs throughout my life, and had a rescued a pit bull named Sadie who just passed away recently after 8 amazing years, (6 when we got her ❤️). Looking forward to taking care of your kids! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I have availability nightly, and would love to be a help for your pets! I always ensure your pets are safe, secure, and happy when taking care of them. I love being able to help pets relax even when their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and breads since I was five years old. My neighbors and friends trust me to take impeccable care for their pets. I am currently in college and I work part-time three days a week. Although, I have quite a bit of free time and in that time I usually like to workout or try new things. Occasionally my family and I go to bend on the weekends. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a property that Is not heavily populated by cars on the road. I also have three varying sized crates as well as two dogs. My dogs are let out every 1-2 hours. One of my dogs is crated when I am not home and my other dog does not have to be crated. In my clients home, I will care for their pets like my client would normally and I will ensure that their home is left clean.
“AJ is amazing, I really trust her with my home and my dog Milo. She’s always very flexible and knows what she’s doing. I truly feel like my dog is taken care of when he’s with her. 10/10 recommend and will also be using her consistently”

About: I have experience with all sorts of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats and most other household pets including snakes and birds. I have also worked with horses and most livestock farm animals. I make a daily roster of animals to care for and schedule my time accordingly. I care for my animals first always and help my community with animal care needs. I have a large fenced yard with room to run. I have 2 female dogs that are well trained and managed. The smaller mutt is elderly (11) and has a room of her own where she will put herself as needed. My big girl Sally, the Bernese is friendly to all animals large or small and really the very best calm neutral dog I have ever known.
About: I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, and gentle approach they require. As both a veterinary professional and the owner of an anxious dog, I am skilled at building trust to help nervous pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Senior dogs are another area where I have significant experience! I understand the importance of maintaining medication schedules and am comfortable administering a variety of medications. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with unique medical and behavioral needs. Whether your dog is anxious, highly energetic, affectionate, independent, or a little bit stubborn, I want to providing care that meets their individual needs while ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. Thursday through Sunday, I have full availability and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I also send regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Monday through Wednesday, I work 12-hour shifts. During those days, I am available for overnight stays and can complete potty breaks and daily care before work (around 6:00 AM), during my lunch break (approximately 12:00–1:00 PM), and after work (around 8:00 PM). water is always available and refreshed regularly. I am highly accustomed to following structured feeding and medication schedules. You can trust that your pet's meals and medications will be given on time following your instructions! I enjoy providing plenty of affection and attention to pets who seek it. Whether your dog loves to be out playing fetch or prefers a little more relaxing, I adjust my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Communication is a priority for me. I typically provide photo and text updates every 1–2 hours so you can stay updated on your pet while you're away. If you prefer fewer updates, I am happy to accommodate your preferences.
About: I have three beautiful cats at home that are super energetic and snuggly! My family had cats while I was in high school and I love being around all animals! Just moved to Eugene from Tennessee and currently have open availability! I’m an early riser so if you need a dog walked in the morning, I’ve got you! I have a car and am willing to walk or bus as well! Our house is plentiful of cat trees, window perches and tunnels! We give them fresh food and water every day and they all get individualized attention! I will do the exact same for your pets!

About: I grew up having multiple dogs at the same time so I am very comfortable around dogs of all kinds. I have a 3 yo, 80 lb Irish wolfhound mix named Cornelius who is the light of my life, so I am experienced in taking care of big dogs that need a lot of exercise and attention. I am flexible with my schedule and my main priority is to give you and your doggo the best experience possible. I love taking care of people and animals in general, which is why I worked as a caregiver for 3 years. I feel that I am a natural caregiver and that this translates into being a great dog-sitter and dog-owner myself. I look forward to getting to know you and yours!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,226 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:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
