“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.”
“Kellen was great with my 2 pups! One is young and can be an energetic handful, and he had no problems with him. Also helped me out with a last minute traveling work need, very much appreciated!”
“Tina is always fantastic! She’s conscientious, kind, and my kitty loves her. She was kind enough to come on very short notice to take care of my sweet boy and I cannot thank her enough!”
“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!”

“Our cats Benny and Charlie are usually very shy around strangers, but Natalie had a magical touch! She was incredibly patient, gentle, and took the time to make our fur babies feel safe. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats is the best feeling. They clearly love Natalie as they have been waiting and watching for her since our return home. Natalie is reliable, highly communicative, and incredibly conscientious. I felt 100% confident that our babies were in the best hands! We highly recommend her to any further baby parent.”

About: I was raised around big dogs (labs and goldens) and have embraced the cat mom life in adulthood! I have cared for senior cats and dogs, as well as kittens and puppies, and am comfortable around any breed. I am able to administer meds (case by case) and give your cat or dog the attention he/she needs. I am available for walks and drop-ins on the weekends and occasionally during the weekdays over lunch. I have a consistent work schedule from 8-5 that does not vary and am rarely unavailable on the weekends. I strive to bring the most comfortable and trusting energy and experience to your home to care for your dog or kitty. I am comfortable with crating your dog, cleaning their paws, and any other special requests!

“As always, Tracy took great care of our boy Logan. She’s always timely with her visits, communicates important info and sends fun pics to ease our hearts when we’re away. We truly appreciate the attentiveness and love she provides. Thank you Tracy!”
About: Hello! I'm Ellie and am available for occasional walking & drop-in visits. I love dogs and have been doing river for the last 5 years! I can also board and do doggy daycare (I do own a medium sized 10 year old Thurman as well but he loves new buddies!). I have 2 dog loving kids so for all boarding clients - dogs need to be kid-friendly. I love dogs - I will take them on long walks and plenty of playtime/pets! I've always loved dogs and used to volunteer with dogs at animal shelters and I used to work for a pet sitting company where I took care of all types of dogs and cats on the regular! Right now I welcome all sizes and I used to own large Goldens growing up :) Let me know if you have any questions! I am fully available right now for morning, afternoon and evening visits/walks. Weekly Monday through Friday (some weekends too). I love dogs and look forward to meeting furry friends!! I have an unfenced backyard but will keep any dog on a leash anytime we go outside. I will take them on walks around my neighborhood.
“Nicole was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind.

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!”

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received! Every day, they were fed, given fresh water, played with, and cared for during a full 30-minute visit. Tina also brought in my mail and watered my plants all week while I was away, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear my cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and I appreciated the updates and attention to detail. I came home to healthy, content cats and everything in perfect order. I highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I will absolutely book again!

Sydney did a super job with my two babies! They warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her ability to immediately connect with my cats. She was prompt and stayed for the entire drop-in visit. Those are things that are important to me and that I truly appreciate. I will use her again and I definitely recommend her!

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!
Tandi is a wonderful person and pet sitter. She has checked in on my 2 kitties many times over the last couple of years. Tandi has a strong sense of service and cares deeply for my kitties and home. She is thoughtful, sweet, reliable and overall a 5 star pet sitter on every level! Thank you, Tandi!
Hana provided exceptional care for Pasha and Benny. From the initial consultation, it was evident that she is dedicated to providing the best care and enjoyed spending time with my cats while I was gone. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates and photos, which provided peace of mind. Upon return, the cats were happy and healthy. Hannah is professional, attentive to detail, and clearly has a special touch with cats. I would definitely recommend Hana to take of anyone's kitties.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $16.74 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 723 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.

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.
