“Shelby was great with her quick response for a last minute booking. She also asked great questions to be sure that she understood all of the specifics for Angel. She has great communication and sent some nice pictures too. I am very happy with how she cared for my senior dog, Angel, and I will definitely be booking her again. Thanks, Shelby for great care and service!”

About: I am experienced in caring for senior and special needs pets, as well as administering oral, transdermal, or injection based medications. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all temperments, personalities, sizes, and energy levels, as well as small animals including rodents, birds, and reptiles. I do not work a traditional job, so I am fortunate to be able to make loving and caring for your pets my priority without the rush! I take the safety and security of your pets and home very seriously, I treat your home with the utmost care and respect during visits. I tend to be pretty on top of communication, and I love sending owners picture and video updates of their pets. I know how upsetting it can be when you're missing your pets, and my goal ultimately to reduce the stress and uncertainty of both you and your pet while you're apart. I prefer to care for pets in their home if they are typically distressed outside of their normal environment. However, if you would prefer your pet be taken care of in my home, that's not a problem! I have a fenced in yard with lots of places to walk and parks nearby. We have a friendly Australian Shephard to keep your pets company, as well as plenty of activities and toys for enrichment. I strive to keep your pet on the same routine they have at home and add plenty of activity to reduce the distress they feel in your absence. We do have a cat who is more reserved and tends to stay in his room, as well as three kiddos, all around age 10 with unlimited energy and love for your animals. As far as transportation, I have an SUV with a doggy hammock and seatbelt for safe transport, as well as many different size pet carriers.
“I was so nervous hiring someone I didn’t know to take care of my pup but Sadie quickly put my mind at ease! She made the effort to meet us ahead of time which meant a lot since I was on the road for work and she was coming to my hotel to take Peps out each day. I could tell from all the cute pics she sent of Peps in the room that my super shy girl had really warmed up to Sadie. Thanks for taking such great care of my girl.”

About: Hi! My name is Ash and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since I was young I grew up in a household with dogs, mostly pits (& one corgi). At the moment, I have my sweet pitbull Penny who is a spoiled happy girl. 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 in online school, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m not able to provide boarding because of my sweet baby, however, I am able to walk, drop in, or stay overnight! To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, and plenty of attention and play time! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior. I’m currently in online school for my Medical Assistant (MA) license, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day, including walks, drop-ins, and extended care when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and closely follow your instructions to maintain their normal routine. I’m attentive to behavior changes, careful with leash and home safety, and always respectful of your space. You can trust that your pet will be cared for responsibly and treated with patience, love, and consistency.
About: Animal lover since I was a kid growing up, I even had my own pet care service when I was a kid in my neighborhood. I am currently between jobs and have been doing some door dashing on the side and looking to add Rover to the mix. Rover will always take precedent. Available pretty much 24/7 at the moment. I treat all animals as my own. I will follow any rules that are given to me about your pets. I have had pets with all different temperaments and will adapt to whatever is needed.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, including a German Shepherd and a Harrier, I understand that every dog has their own needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy dogs, going on longer walks and outdoor adventures, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and take safety seriously, whether that means keeping a close eye on a dog’s behavior, following specific care instructions, or adjusting to what makes an individual dog most comfortable. I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and respect I’d want someone to give my own dogs I’m currently working full time as an EMT with rotating week days and weekends. This means I’d have plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention and exercise needed on my days off. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re trusting to care for your pets, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I treat every animal like I would my own and take the time to learn their normal routine, personality, boundaries, likes and dislikes, and any special instructions you provide. I’m patient with pets that may need a little extra time to warm up, and I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I’m never putting them in a situation they’re uncomfortable with. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I’ll keep you updated and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
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. 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!

About: I’ve helped my mom take care of her dog since he was a puppy. I like to stop by and provide him with an enriching walk, some much needed playtime or even some pets and a relaxing staycation. I’ve also assisted my grandmother with her senior dog in the past. Although she was a senior pup it didn’t mean she deserved any less care. Making sure she was comfortable in her later years was something I valued deeply. I currently have a part time job generally working Monday-Friday from 5am-10am (times vary slightly). This schedule leaves me with a lot of time during the day that I’m looking to fill with a satisfying and fulfilling side gig. I care for my dog at home by providing him with enriching activities such as a leisurely walk, some simple fetch, going on a car ride locally so he can experience more smells or testing his nose by letting him find treats around the yard.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a young child. I have taken care of my roommates, grandparents, and neighbors dogs consistently over the years. I love animals! I own a rabbit named Thor who my husband and I spend a lot of time caring for and loving in our apartment in Camp Hill, PA. I’m currently a school based occupational therapist and I have a very open schedule to walk and take care of your dog this summer and beyond. I look forward to meeting your dog or cat soon! I offer dog walks and taking care of dogs in their own home. I enjoy getting to know dogs and cats and building trust over time! I do not offer overnights in my own home at this time.
About: Hi! I’m Christine, and I’m so happy you’re here! 😊 Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and being a pet sitter is truly something I love. I understand that pets aren’t “just pets” — they’re family — and I treat every dog or cat I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or quiet and cuddly, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I love giving lots of affection, going on walks, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become your trusted go-to sitter! 🐾💕 Dependable and loving sitter experience. I currrently work from home and happy to care for pet in your home or mine. Daily photo/video updates. Cleaning food bowls and basic pet mess clean up. Plenty of attention, affection, and supervision I have a fenced in yard and two golden doodles who love to play. Skilled in maintaining a clean, safe environment. Reliable and attentive caregiver.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 9 years old, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I grew up with the sweetest Saint Bernard and have had 5 adorable kitties over the years. I like to call myself a professional cat entertainer. In 2023, I finally got my own fur baby who is spoiled rotten and my favorite thing in the world. I pet and house sit regularly for my friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even some horses. Sometimes that means staying overnight because one pup has bad separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable giving extra love and attention. Cats might be my favorite to work with but I love all cuties just the same! I’m working full time and right now, I get off work around 2:30pm. I am available for 30 minutes during the work day on my lunch break and during the afternoon/ nights. I have a large back yard and fenced in pool area for dogs with lots of room in the house for laying, playing, or exploring. I currently do not own a dog so any visiting dogs should bring with their favorite toys for extra entertainment. I am not living in a development but have plenty of walking trails in close proximity, including Big Boyd’s Tree Preserve, Front Street, Fort Hunter, and Wildwood Park. There are 3 cats living in the house who have been acclimated to dogs. We have separate rooms for visiting cats to stay with extra litter boxes, scratching posts, an abundance of toys, and a few humans to play with and love on.
“Barbara was very prompt with her responses and arranging a meet and greet before her first walk. Angel liked her right away! Everything went well on the first walk of the day, and Barbara communicated well about things so the second walk went even better. Thanks so much to Barbara for taking care of our senior German Shepherd, Angel!”

About: I have had a dog almost my whole life and have taken care of him especially when he got older and couldn’t do stuff oh his own. I will be sure to take great care of your dogs when you are away and I will check in with you so you know how your dog has been. On weekends I have nothing to do so I am able to go to your house and take care of your pet as much as needed. I will make sure to be respectful to you and your furry friend, I will take them on walks, make sure to feed them , and play with them.

About: Some people call me the dog whisperer, but I just speak a dogs language. I love dogs, even more than most humans. I’m not afraid to administer medications or take pups to the vet or groomer. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m pretty much available all day long. I own two large dogs and one small dog. And they all live in harmony with my children. Both my sons love animals almost as much as I do! If we had the land, I’d open a rescue and adoption center. Dogs of all sizes enjoy stopping here on their walks because they know I always have treats waiting. We know most of our furry neighbors better than the humans! We must love dogs or are crazy! I’m currently at home, but we do have children, and live an active and busy lifestyle do to their sports. I try to be as flexible as possible. I have a huge fenced in yard and my dogs love having friends over! We do require crates for sleeping or anytime we are not home, so if your dog is not crate trained, this probably isn’t the home for you.

About: I've been pet sitting since i was 13, I am currently 19 with a dog and cat of my own! I've taken care of seniors as-well as puppies. I've potty trained, taught tricks, and have done special care when needed. I love to go on long hikes and bring my dog with me! I go on walks about 3 times a day, as my dog is very active. Feel free to ask me questions! I would love to watch your pup. :) I'm available for pet sitting any day of the week at any times! I can handle seniors aswell as active dogs. I would love to spend time with your pup. I have one super friendly dog that loves to play and gets along great with cats. I go on 3 walks a day with my pup. She is very active and friendly. Your pup will be able to relax and also get the outside time they need. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for running around and playing.

“Molly was super responsive to my messages. She agreed to walk my Millie with little notice, before even meeting. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog-walker.”

About: There has always been a pet in the home since childhood, I’ve watched and taken care of 5 personally owned dogs from puppyhood to adulthood! I have babysat my aunts cat Tammy for a few months now, and I have taken care of my own dog Maestro when my parents are on vacation, or need an extra pick-me-up. I also have been volunteering at Humane Society of Harrisburg for about a few months now! I have always had a huge heart towards animals of all personalities and sizes. I’ve worked with nervous big dogs, to crazy little puppies! I would be more than willing to meet your amazing animal someday! 😊💕 I have a car available at all times, so I am easily able to provide as much time and energy as your animal needs. I also do not have a typical job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be super respectful of your space and keep notes about certain things your animal needs, and provide spectacular feedback on how your animal is feeling, how the day went, overall what happened during my service! I am a wonderful listener and I learn extremely quickly.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Harrisburg is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Danielle has been the best addition to my little lady Yenn's routine. I can tell she genuinely cares for my dog as an individual and she always remembers the tiniest details about her even though I'm sure she walks many dogs. Danielle is reliable and a great communicator, but I also trust her to make good decisions in my absence if needed which is really really important to me. As a person with pretty severe anxiety, I'm thrilled to say I genuinely feel at peace leaving Yenn in her care, and that is so valuable to me. Plus, Yenn LOVES her!

I had an excellent experience working with Mollie when an unexpected injury suddenly prevented me from taking my lab on our daily walks. Mollie was responsive and easy to communicate with from the start, and after we set everything up, she was extremely reliable and took great care of my pup. Having searched far and wide for reliable pet care in the past, I just hope Mollie is available in the future!
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 of Dog Walking in Harrisburg is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,374 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Harrisburg after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
