About: I have been taking care of primarily cats since I was 5 years old, but have come to love our canine friends just as much over the years, and have taken care of many friends' and family's furry family members over the years. I pride myself on being an attentive caregiver, with a respect for animals' unique personalities and boundaries, allowing me to take the time to gain each animal's trust in their own time. My days are currently very free and I am available for all your pet care needs. As a night owl myself, I also am more than happy to take on late night/early morning work for the pet owners with more late-night oriented schedules. I promise to always be an attentive caregiver for your pets, making sure I always know their location within the property, providing photo/video status updates if you'd like, and monitoring their behavior for signs of their moods and needs. As someone who works well within structure, any schedule you provide for regular care tasks will be followed to a T. I respect that while I am taking care of your companion I am in both your home and theirs and will treat the space with the utmost respect. Please do inform me ahead of starting of any areas that are restricted to your pet and any other expectations you have for your space so I can ensure that all things run as though you never left!
“Becky M. Did a phenomenal job caring for my puppy. She walked him, fed him, and spent time playing with him. She took wonderful pictures and he was obviously happy.”
“Chentel is a wonderful dog walker/sitter! So happy to have found her. I’m sure my pups are always so happy to see her! She goes above and beyond to care for my pups-and cleans up their many messes!”
About: I’m here so you can breathe. You need a date night? I got you. You need time off? I got you. Tips go to my wedding Dec 20th! I have my summer off as a teacher in the HBGSD. I am flexible with drop-ins, walks, and even staying over night if needed. My experience dog sitting has been for those in my church. I’m just expanding my services to you I can provide a space in my home to dog sit if you can provide the adequate supplies such as cage, bowls, list of requirements and any necessary medication.
About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, and then when I went off to college I volunteered at an animal shelter for all four years. Working with animals is something that I love doing with a passion. I’m the go-to pet sitter for all friends and family. I’m currently working a part time job and have a very flexible schedule. This gives plenty of time to focus on your pets, and their needs. I typically prefer to take care of pets in their own home where they already feel comfortable and safe. It’s important for me to try and follow their typical routine as closely as possible. I make sure to give them lots of attention because I know the stress of their owners leaving can be a lot.
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time-with exception of Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!
“Is definitely a life saver, my family got the pup but couldn’t get up so early in the morning to walk him, was willing to do 5 am walk for 2 of my weekly days and 6 for the rest best thing ever!”
About: I've been looking after all kinds of pets since I was in high school! Between owning cats my whole life, taking care of my family’s dog for going on 10 years, looking after friends' pets here and there, and now a year of petsitting on Rover under my belt, I've had lots of practice taking care of furry friends! I'll be consistently available for housesitting, as well as drop-in visits and walks from June through mid August. During the school year, please note that most weekdays I will be unavailable from 7:30am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-4:00pm. I am happy to make your home “homebase”, though, to look after your furry friends! I am happy to water, walk, and feed four-legged friends—not to mention provide play while you're away! As a pet-parent to a senior dog myself, I am no stranger to picking up accidents, and have administered medicine or special diets.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs ranging in size and need! I've given pills and insulin injections to some of the dogs I've watched and am very comfortable with those things. I've also watched chickens, turtles, and cats! I am a stay at home mom to 2 wonderful little boys! So I am readily available for your pet! We cannot wait to play and meet your pet! I have a fenced in yard. I have a small 8 lb dog that is unamused by other dogs and will keep his distance. Your dog can be crated if you'd prefer. I also have a toddler who knows to be gentle with our dog and will be with yours too.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have always been surrounded by cats and dogs and would not have it any other way. Currently in-between jobs so I am pretty flexible. I will be returning to school in the near future, but that will be online, so will not change my schedule too much. I do not have a fenced-in yard and am not looking to watch pets at my house as I already have my own dogs here.
“This is our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be happier. We are SO thankful to have found Andy! She is such a wonderful person with a clear love for animals! Her communication is fantastic. She sends us updates of how the walk/visit went, including great pictures and videos of our puppy Eggo! We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️”
About: Hello! My name is Lisandra and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since my teenage years I have been taking care of dogs as I grew up in a household with a Shih Tzu and Chihuahua. Once I moved on my own I decided to continue that care by becoming a dog mom myself. Over the last 15 years I have been a dog mom to 2 wonderful dogs! At the moment, I have my Boston Terrier lover boy Scooby who is a spoiled happy boy. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated as if they were my own. I can provide regular updates on your pet’s while also ensuring they get the love, care, play, exercise, and the cuddles they need! I’m currently working from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week and can provide doggy day care from 8am-6pm on those 7 days. To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, regular exercise with a 15 min daily walk 2 times a day (once in the afternoon and once in the evening), access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, plenty of attention and play time as well as a in home play mate! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior.
About: I will probably remember your dogs name before I remember yours. I love animals and I have 2 German Shepherd Labradoodles who are high energy and extra clingy. I know how to take care of dogs and understand their needs for exercise. Currently I am an educator for High School students looking for summer work. I want to be able to be flexible to still spend time with my puppers and take care of yours. My dogs are crate trained and can be left without destroying things. They are exercised daily as well as keeping them up on their medications and probiptics. My one dog has issues with his hips so we get that checked frequently with the Veterinarians.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Harrisburg is $20

Andrey is awesome! I have 2 greyhounds which are a bit high maintenance because they are greyhounds and he took such great care of them. Took them to parks and long walks. They were always happy when I came home. I didn't have to worry. He always uploaded tons of pics which I like. Highly recommend him for your fur babies.
Jessica did an excellent job walking my dog for a week while I recovered from surgery. She was flexible and super accommodating when I needed to modify our regular schedule for one day. Remy the dog was so excited to see her. I would recommend Jessica to anyone who needs a friendly caregiver for their dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Harrisburg on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,419 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.

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
- 96% 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 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.
