“Mackenzie was great! She took fantastic care of our four cats while we were away. Communication was effortless, and the photo updates were wonderful. She was very reliable, trustworthy, and caring,”
“Sally was exceptional at taking care of my sometimes ‘spicy’ fur baby. She communicated well and went above and beyond. 10/10 recommend and would definitely use again!”
“Hanna did an excellent job stopping by my house each day to care for my two cats while I was away on a trip. She fed them, cleaned and filled their water bowls, cleaned the litter boxes, disposed of the litter in the garbage can outside, and paid special attention to them each day ❤️. It was awesome that she sent me photos and videos of her petting and playing with them! And it let me know that they were in good hands while I was away. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Hanna!”
“Sadie was wonderful. She agreed to watch my cats within a week of the booking, made time to come meet them prior, and took great care of them during. She communicated with me throughout and sent a lot of pictures. A very reliable pet sitter!”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious they were in caring, capable hands. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything just as I left it. I truly appreciate the attention and love she gave them. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
“We were looking for someone to drop in on our cats for a few days and Becky popped up on the Rover app as a highly rated sitter. We are very grateful that we went with Becky as she was professional and communicative the whole step of the booking. For the drop and visit/ meet and greet, our cats instantly came out when getting to know Becky. She was easy-going and understood everything that we wanted her to look after when we were away. During the two drop and visits, Becky took several pictures, stayed more than enough time, and wrote in extensive synopsis of what she did over the drop ins. We cannot be more pleased with her services, and our cats are looking forward for the next upcoming reservation. We would highly recommend Becky to anybody!”
“I am so grateful and appreciative to Kellen for taking care of my cat Cedar over the winter holidays. He instantly bonded with Cedar and helped put my mind at ease while I was gone. He was always thoroughly communicating with me throughout the visits and updating/adapting along the way like when she had tummy problems and we had to adjust her diet. He was accommodating and understanding to her needs as a deaf cat and really made sure she was well-taken care of.”
“If I had more stars to give, I would. Just as we thought we hit the jackpot with our Charlie girl, we also hit the jackpot with Sarah. To be able to leave your pet, knowing they will be loved and cared for is the best feeling. Sarah did just that and more! Charlie was loved and played with a lot! Her food, water and litter box were tended to and the area was immaculate. I also appreciated that Sarah reached out with questions. She cares enough to ask the details and that’s important. Sarah is the kind of person you want to watch over your pet. She’s the best - hands-down.”
“Treates my boys so well. Spent time with them, gave them their meds, and sent lots of photos. Gave us peace of mind, especially with two anxious pups that aren't used to new people. Definitely re-booking for when we go away again!”
About: With over four years of experience in house and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great care comes down to consistency, attention, and trust. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the right kind of attention they’re used to—so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your space, and I make it a point to communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. I approach every stay with the mindset that I’m not just watching over things—I’m making sure your home and pets are genuinely cared for. Right now, I'm working from home and occasionally have to do a few hours at a job site. If that happens I am aware of it and able to let you know via text, or a call. A typical day starts by following your pet’s usual routine—morning feedings, fresh water, and a quick check-in to see how they’re doing. For dogs, that usually means getting outside for a walk, some playtime, and a chance to burn off energy. For cats, it’s more about keeping things calm and familiar—maybe some play if they’re interested, or just quiet company. Throughout the day, I keep things consistent, give them attention on their terms, and make sure everything stays clean and comfortable. Evenings wind down with dinner, another walk for dogs, and some relaxed time so they can settle in for the night. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and feel connected while you’re away—it’s all about keeping things normal, easy, and stress-free for both you and your pet.
“Kasandra was great! She checked on our cat while we were out of town and it made leaving him so much easier knowing he was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!”
“Shelby was wonderful. You can tell how much she loves doing this. I’m sure if our dogs could speak they would ask to see Shelby everyday. We would love have Shelby care for our pets again. Highly recommended.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Lily played with my cat a while I was away and made sure she was fed and safe. It means a lot to me when a pet sitter gives my cat some play time because she is a very high energy cat who hates being alone. She can sometimes be aggressive towards strangers, so that fact that everything went smoothly tells me Lily is very skilled with cats.
Hanna took wonderful care of our cats for over a month, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She was incredibly helpful, flexible, and reliable throughout the entire time. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we truly appreciate everything Hanna did for us. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter!
Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.
Amanda has been so reliable and responsive! She always takes pictures of my pets and provides me with updates when needed. She schedules a meet and greet prior to doing drop-in visits, which is great, because it allows her to get to know the animals and where everything is before she does her visit. I appreciate how available and communicative she is!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 738 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:
- 97% 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.
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.
