About: I’m an animal lover with experience pet sitting dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, and even birds! I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to giving your furry (or feathered!) friends plenty of care, attention, and companionship so you can have peace of mind while you’re out of the house. I work part-time from home and have a flexible schedule. I can take your dogs for walks any day of the week, and pet sit most days if you reach out with a little notice in advance. I offer in-home pet sitting and will meet your needs. Whether your dog needs encouragement to eat or you cat requires a litter box cleaned multiple times a day.
About: I love all animals and enjoy having them part of my daily life. I’ve taken care of animals since I was really young, either my own or friends and family’s pets. I’ve taught my friends dogs and my own to do cute tricks that get a lot of laughs out of people. I also enjoy running and would enjoy a partner on runs with dogs that usually have a lot of energy. I’m currently a part-time student so my schedule is wide open for pet care. I can do afternoon /evening walks on Monday-Wednesday and morning walks from Thursday, Friday and Sunday. I can walk, feed and care for pets when you’re away. Walk them if needed or take them to a dog park for social interactions
About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.
“Kelsie was fantastic! She was very timely, posted photos of each drop-in visit, and described each event that occurred during the visit. My wife and I highly recommend her!”

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.
“Anabelle took a good care of Bear (male cat) over the last two weeks through her daily visits. She made sure Bear got everything he needed. I loved getting Ana's daily updates and photos of Bear—it really gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Ana. I appreciate you.”

About: Biggest dog lover around! With 2 veterinarians in the family, pets have always been at the center of the dynamic. Your pup needs long walks? Let’s go for a stroll! Needs cuddles? Let me grab a blanket! I currently work a hybrid schedule and am home most days! My girlfriend is also a WFH schedule! We love giving your pups all the attention they need! We live in a gated community with a gated patio and fenced in dog park! Very dog friendly household and community! Our home is air-conditioned to keep our loved ones cool and comfortable!
About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them. I'm not currently working so I have as much time in the world to spend with your dog and to make sure it gets its daily exercise and other basic needs. I have unfenced yard , will always take precautions and have leash on a dog when taking it for potty breaks I do have a dog of my own he is a service dog for a living but I can always kennel his to keep your dog safe or put him in my bedroom.
“Kaylee was very accommodating and flexible. She gave great updates and took excellent care of our furbabies! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend that you do the same!”

“This was my first time using this service but Katie helped make the whole experience so easy. I was drawn to her profile each time I opened the app. When we scheduled for a meet & greet with the pups, the one I was hesitant about meeting a new person took to her with ease. That made me feel really good about having her check in on the pups. She recorded each visit and took photos to communicate things back to me. It was nice to see the pups enjoying their time with her. I look forward to having her check in on the pups in the future, should I need to take another trip.”

“Responded quick and was able to sit when our original sitter fell through. Our dog had a tough time with us gone and she did her best to take care of her. Will definitely book again.”

“My first time ever using Rover and I was not disappointed. Kaitlyn was extremely knowledgeable about our dogs as well as very professional. Highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: There’s nothing I love more than animals! I have had and cared for them my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am reliable and can be flexible when needed. In my free time I volunteer at Greenhill animal shelter and have lots of experience with all types of dogs and their needs. I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule. I am always looking for ways to help out and love surrounding myself with animals. I am a very active person and love walking, hiking, trips to the beach, or just laying around keeping them company! I have classes and work but times vary for each. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I ensure to always ask questions to avoid problems, better safe than sorry!
“Emily was awesome! I was super nervous because I had never had someone watch my dog before but she took great care of my high energy dog while I was gone. Will definitely schedule again sometime!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for helping them feel happy, safe, and cared for. I've worked at a dog daycare that practices fear-free, positive-reinforcement-based care, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’ve also worked at an animal shelter, where I cared for dogs with a wide variety of behavioral and physical needs, further strengthening my ability to meet each dog where they are and provide patient, compassionate care. I’m trained in dog first aid and am also a proud owner of a large dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your best friend. My goal is to provide every dog with the patience, attention, enrichment, and support they deserve while respecting their individual boundaries and comfort levels. Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, elderly, needs extra support, or simply loves some good company, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work flexible hours so I can work with you to build a schedule that works for you and your pets. I’m focused on setting up a system that works best for everyone. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to feeding routines, exercise, play, enrichment, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship and affection. I prioritize positive reinforcement, patience, and respecting each dog’s boundaries and comfort level. My goal is always for them to feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I also make sure to provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“I highly recommend Alisa to look after your dog. She was really great with my dog Archer, let me know when she arrived at the house and was leaving and sent photos. This was my first experience with Rover and it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, long walks, and keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress while their owners are away. I’ve also helped reinforce basic training with puppies, such as leash walking and consistency with commands. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, not just watched. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners always feel at ease. I’m also patient and adaptable, which is especially important for nervous or older pets who may need extra time and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize being consistent and reliable for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. I make sure to plan my day around each pet’s routine so they receive timely feedings, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also available for last-minute bookings when possible and committed to maintaining a dependable schedule that keeps pets comfortable and stress-free. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, and I stick closely to what they’re used to. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets at all times, making sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure, and removing any potential hazards. I’m also respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,280 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
