“Madison is a reliable, flexible, dedicated and communicative pet sitter who obviously loves animals. She follows directions, frequently checks in with pictures and updates and just makes you feel like your pet is in great hands. I was really lucky to come across Madison's profile and would highly recommend her to anyone who shares my anxiety about leaving others to watch our furry friends. She's also just a really sweet person and a joy to work with.”

About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
About: Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, giving me experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, and care needs. Combined with over 10 years of caring for animals, this taught me the patience, consistency, and attention every pet deserves. Hi! I'm Jaedyn, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, and I loved helping care for them. Being around so many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have years of experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals. I raised, bred, and showed rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of recognizing health concerns, maintaining consistent routines, and building trust with animals through calm, attentive care. I'm especially comfortable with shy or nervous pets and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers quiet companionship, I'll meet them where they're most comfortable. With my flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I volunteer part-time, I'm able to adjust my schedule around your pet's routine whenever possible. Whether that means multiple potty breaks, long walks, playtime, medication, or overnight house sitting, my goal is to keep their day as normal as possible while you're away. For house sitting, I can often spend the majority of the day with your pet if that's something they'd benefit from. If I'll need to step away, I'll always communicate that with you beforehand so there are no surprises. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take time to learn their normal schedule, favorite activities, medications, feeding routine, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I'm especially patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that some animals need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I never rush interactions and always let pets build trust at their own pace. During walks and visits, I'm careful about securely attaching leashes before opening doors, checking gates, and paying close attention to my surroundings. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, following your instructions carefully and making sure everything is secure before I leave. You'll also receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Vanessa was great! This was our first time using rover so we were nervous for our fur babies but knew after the meet and greet that they would be in good hands! She had her work cut out for her with our 4 cats but she handled it like a champ. Despite many verbal threats from my old boy, she powered through and made sure he was taken care of. She went above and beyond to even bring in a bunch of packages that were delivered while were gone. She also made sure everything was so clean when we got home. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Mia was very sweet and kind with our babies! And she was very attentive to their needs as well as loving on them, which is so reassuring while leaving them! She followed instructions perfectly and kept us in the loop with great communication”

“Tyler did an awesome job caring for my cat. He sent a couple pictures and a little blurb summarizing the visit every time and he was always quick to respond to any messages I sent. He also left a kind message on my whiteboard welcoming me back to my home which was lovely after a full day of travel! Thanks Tyler!”

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.
“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’ve always been around dogs from the day I was born. My family bread boxers and I would always be the first one to take care of the puppies and mommas. I’ve dog sat for family friends who had both puppies and older dogs. I’m not afraid to give medication if needed. I currently have a dachshund who is 8 months old. I’m looking for a flexible job for the next few months that I can also continue into my new job. I love all things pets and this is perfect for what I’m looking for I currently don’t provide pets to stay at my home but maybe down the road I can provide that as well. We have a large house with lots of space to run and two other dogs they can play with. We are a dog loving family and are always looking for dogs to love on.
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: 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: 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.
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 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 1,267 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Harrisburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrisburg. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
