About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate my clients’ needs. I update my availability regularly and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, walks, and any special routines. I respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Maria was so sweet to our cat, Luna. Luna will miss her till they meet again. She took very good care of Luna, fed, petted, combed, cleaned the litter box and played with Luna. I got a detailed report cards every day. She watered my plants too to keep them alive. I am immensely satisfied and grateful for her help while we were gone for the vacation.

Had a great experience with Madison, she did 3x daily drop in visits for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She was a clear communicator, easy to get ahold of, and sent pics every visit showing the pets playing and getting treats. She also collected our mail and put it on the table. Would recommend!

Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!

Mattie was very easy to work with - She got acquainted with each one of my dogs - she did stop a few times before to get to know each dog better - would love to have her take care of my dogs in the future - goes the extra mile to have the dogs more relaxed with spending time without me around

About: I've grown up basically my whole life taking care of family dogs and hanging out with neighbors and friends dogs. About 3 years ago I finally got my own dog, Mowgli, and we both love meeting new furry friends! We love going for long walks, playing catch and cooking together. I work full time but have a flex schedule, so when I don't have meetings scheduled at the office I work from home. If I am working at the office I always take the dogs on long walks in the morning and then come home during lunch to go for a quick walk and then another long walk after work. However, when dog sitting I tend to work from home during those days :) I tend to leave the water bowl always full for the dogs whenever they feel thirsty and then have a schedule of feeding them 3 times a day (with a couple treats here and there). I love just chilling with the dogs - especially outside when the weather is nice to get some vitamin D. Again, absolutely LOVE going on walks so there will be plenty of those :)

About: I have a (bossy) corgi of my own, whom I love dearly. I know firsthand how important pets are— as I have grown up with pets and animals my entire life. I also have a bachelors degree in animal science from Iowa state university and have previously worked as a vet assistant for ~3 years. I am currently going back to school for nursing. Dogs are so important to my family—and I can’t wait to show yours some love as well! I am currently in nursing school so I will be available after class around 3pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. And will usually be available anytime Sunday. I know how important pets are to us and will provide you with updates and photos throughout the time I am with them. I am very good with teaching basic dog commands and know animal behavior well as I have previously worked in vet clinics. For walks I will stay around the neighborhood to ensure your dog feels safe in a familiar environment.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, building trusted relationships through reliability, patience, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. As a full-time oncology nurse, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets. My nursing schedule changes weekly, but during my time off I enjoy helping fellow pet owners by providing loving, reliable care for their dogs. With years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and family pets, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while always prioritizing safety with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Matt was very attentive and went above and beyond while he cared for my two large dogs. It was a relief to know that my dogs were in good hands while I was away for a week. I would not hesitate to rebook with Matt in the future or refer him to friends and family in need of pet sitting services.

About: I've had a love for dogs and all animals since I was very young and would love the opportunity to meet your pets and spend time with them! I'm currently working part time and can be available every day of the week and weekend, so no matter when you need help I'll be ready to assist with your furry family members! I keep pets on their normal routine, having safety come first, and sending photos/updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. For house sitting and drop-ins, I follow the instructions given closely and treat your home with like I would my own. On walks, I'm attentive to leash handling, weather, and each dog's mood. For day care, I keep a close eye on playtime so everyone's safe and having fun!

About: I have had experience taking care of dogs since I was young, caring for our family dogs. Since then, I've house sat/taken care of animals for friends & family. I am unable to get a dog of my own right now but grew up with dogs & know how they are family ❤️ My schedule is very open right now. I am working part time during the week but am available Thursday-Sunday anytime. My afternoons are also open Monday-Wednesday. I am in an apartment that has a dog park across from me. There are walking paths near me & many dog owners as well.

About: Hi, my name is Ana! I don't think there has ever been a time in my life when I haven't had dogs, which is why I truly believe your pet deserves to be cared for like they are part of the family. I have two dogs of my own, Ziggy and Porky, who love dogs of all sizes and even cats! They are always ready to make a new friend and have some fun. If your pet is older, more independent, or simply isn't interested in playing with other dogs, that's completely okay! Ziggy and Porky are great about giving dogs their space when they need it. I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while still getting the exercise, attention, and activity that's appropriate for them. My goal is for your pet to feel at home, have fun, and receive the same patience and care I would want for my own dogs. Im currently available, so I’ll be able to take care of your dog or dogs. I do have two dogs of my own Ziggy and porky, both are friendly with everyone. Ziggy, porky, and I frequently go on walks to different parks. We travel quite frequently and are always checking different areas out. If you have a preferred area we go that’s ok!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Harrisburg on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Harrisburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Harrisburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrisburg. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
