“What can I say…if I could give Lynda 10 stars ⭐️ I absolutely would!!! She went above and beyond with taking care of my girl, Cinnamon and my home for a week! She kept in contact with me every day and sent me pictures. I highly recommend Lynda to take care of your fur kids and your home. Thank you Lynda and Rover for a great experience and for easing my mind!”
“Corey was absolutely amazing with George and Bosun! From the moment we met him, I felt confident they were in great hands. He was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that George and Bosun were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed, content dogs meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Corey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable Rover sitter!”
About: I grew up around a large variety of animals, including (but not limited to) many large dogs, many small dogs, a ton of cats, and lizards! I've been in charge of taking care of animals for as long as I can remember with my first dog. I've been pet sitting for neighbors and family since I was old enough to be home alone. I absolutely adore all animals and caring for them! I'm good at giving medicine to dogs in particular, and I'm decent at giving it to cats. I have no experience administering medication to other types of animals. I have vast experience with dogs and cats, and while I only have some experience with other types of pet, I am very good at following precise care instructions. My schedule is currently open besides 12/24/25-12/25/25, 12/31/25-01/01/26, and 1/19/26-1/23/26. I may have more restrictions in late January to early February. I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I will care for your pets based on their specific needs in your home. If you have an energetic dog, I would love to play with them! If you have a snuggly cat or dog, I can just hang out with them! I can give your pets their medications at your instruction, and will abide by any rules you have for your pets. My goal is to keep them safe and happy!
“Ingrid is the BEST!! She went over and beyond taking care of my Lucy for a whole week! Lucy loved her. I got updates and pictures every day. I had a worry-free vacation. My house was spotless when I got home. She was amazing. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I bring 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, senior pet support, and puppy care. Families trust me for reliability, compassion, and skill. I have experience with working breeds, especially Belgian Malinois, and understand their need for structure, mental stimulation, and consistent training. I focus on safety, structured routines, and individualized attention to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, special needs, advanced training, or playtime, I provide consistent, loving service that gives you peace of mind. I am currently in school and have flexible availability between classes, which allows me plenty of time to care for your pet with consistency and attention. What pet doesn’t love a little attention—whether it’s a pat, belly rub, or playtime? I care for my pets as if they are true family members. That care comes with balance: while love and play are essential, boundaries and structure are just as important for most animals to thrive. My approach blends affection, routine, and respect, ensuring pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for. I carry these guiding principles in caring for animals both inside and outside my own home
“Lisa was wonderful! She came over the day before to meet our puppy Maple. They became instant friends. She took Maple for a walk and made sure she was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Taylor is the best. She stayed at our home and took care of our dog who was in love with her. We felt completely relaxed and trusted her completly. We do hope she can spend more time with our dog in the near future.”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was so great with our dogs and they loved hanging out with her! She was responsive and funny! We will definitely use her again!”
“Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.”
“This is the second time Carol has stayed with Apollo and I felt completely at ease knowing she was with him. She plays with him and takes him for walks but most importantly she comforts him when it thunderstorms. He is extremely anxious when it thunders and she makes him feel safe. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've been an enthusiastic lover of all sorts of animals. From the cute and cuddly dogs or cats to the sometimes considered less appealing reptiles and amphibians. I always have had a great low-key type of energy that some more anxious or skittish animals tend to be more receptive to. It helps im very patient and attentive to an animals needs. I, myself have owned Dogs, cats, small mammals and rodents, reptiles, and fish. I am very accommodating to any special care or attention a pet may need. Ive been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager and have never encountered an animal I wasnt able to care for responsibly and exceed expectations. I can look after larger dogs (100lbs+) as I am 6' with the strength to walk and play with them. I grew up with a 100lb German Shepard and owned a 100lb Rottweiler mix. No pet will deter me. On the flip side I also enjoy smaller dogs that want to be held and/or carried. As I've mentioned I'm an all around animal lover. I generally work 4pm to 12am at my regular job. So pets will be alone at that time, I apologize in advance. If this is acceptable I will ensure all your pet's needs are met prior to my leaving for my shift. I treat the clients home with absolute respect, very tidy and maintain the home as if it were my own. Cleaning up after myself and leaving it in the best condition possible. Making sure the pets area is tidy after eating or playing, cleaning up any messes they may create.
“Our 2 girls love Jadine. She took great care of them. She sent pictures and kept us informed. ALSO While away I was sick and hospitalized. Jadine was able to work it out to stay longer. Our minds and hearts were at ease with Jadine! HIGHLY RECCOMEND.”
About: I have had pets most of my life. As a child a cocker spaniel named Winston. Then a golden retriever named Honey. Fish, hermit crabs, etc. I live on 1.5 acres in the swamp on Lake Rousseau it is spacious and beautiful. I would love to care for dogs part time and enjoy them and also my 5 kids I have half time would also give lots of love. I work from home managing AirBNB’s so am available all the time basically and not stuck to a computer. I can give the dogs plenty of love and time to run and play outside. Able to pick up and drop off for an extra fee Able to bathe for an extra fee Look forward to being a dog dad to your little ones soon :) I am home almost all of the time. I raise 5 kids week on and half and my business is remote and low input. I have time to care for a dog or two with a lot of intention. I would also enjoy the company. They are welcome inside my home and out. If outside I would accompany them so I can keep an eye on them but they have plenty of room to roam and lots of smells in nature. I could take on walks as needed but I have a lot of space for them to run and throw a ball too.
About: I have over 10 years of experience in the pet industry, including 3 years working as a kennel technician. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish through both professional work and independent pet sitting. My experience includes managing large-dog playgroups, dog walking, feeding, administering routine care, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Your pets will be treated like family! Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I have a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily care and attention pets need. I make sure his litter box stays clean, his food and water are always fresh, and he gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I believe the little things make a big difference in keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it my priority to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I ensure they always have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime and exercise both indoors and outdoors, and any necessary medications are given as directed. I also take pride in following each pet parent’s checklist and routine so nothing gets overlooked. My goal is to give your pets the same love, attention, and care they receive when you’re home!
About: I've always had a passion for animals my whole life. When i was 13-14 i volunteered at a petting zoo with all sorts of animals even dogs.I also use to pet sit for family friends quite a lot. I currently work at a boarding/daycare facility where we tend to all of their different needs. I'm currently traveling with my boyfriend for his work, so anytime i have a booking on here i will be home the entire time. Other then that i would be doing door dash/spark driver but id much rather pet sit to continue doing what i love. Anything involved with animals. Have 100% attention towards them. Take them out to run and play atleast ever 1-2 hours (more of course if their outside loving dogs). Making sure their eating as they should be and drinking plenty of water.
“Piper & Bailey were so happy and well taken care of! Rob was very responsive and due to a hurricane, dates had to be changed and he was very flexible! Would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
About: When most were baby sitting I was pet sitting. I’ve always had a true passion for taking care of animals that has continued to grow with me. I’m great with all types not just limited to cats and dogs. I’m have experience admitting medication, training puppies and with elder dog care. Daily pet care, personally I have a mini zoo lol 3 dogs, 2 cats and a bird. That includes daily feedings, walks, playing and more Care for all animals as if they were mine. I believe animals should be treated as part of the family. Regular feedings, walks or outdoor trips with a yard. When medication is needed I strongly believe in following the recommended schedule. Clean happy environments.
“Jana was such a fantastic pup and house sitter! Lots of pictures and updates, and Cash was so happy to have lots of love and company. Highly recommend and we will absolutely invite Jana back when she’s available!”
“Angela has been caring for our cocker spaniel for about a month now, and she has just been wonderful to work with. We recently moved to FL, and before that, our dog only had one caretaker for his entire life (he's 12), so we really wanted to take the time with someone new for both drop in visits and overnights/housesitting, and she has really gained his trust - and ours!! He seems very happy in the photos she sends. So happy we found her!”
“This was our first time leaving our pets with someone we didn’t personally know, so naturally, we were a little nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such wonderful care of our pets and made us feel so much more comfortable trusting someone new with our fur babies. It means so much to know that our pets were in good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and love she showed them. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. Thank you for giving us peace of mind and treating our pets so well! ❤️🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrison
Jennifer is the BEST. She kept me updated, followed my instructions, and I could tell that my dogs were comfortable with her immediately. They seemed so peaceful and content in the photos I received. It was such a relief to know they were well cared for while I was away. And not just well cared for, but having a great time.
Connor was absolutely wonderful! He accepted our booking on very short notice and completely exceeded our expectations. Our rescue dog Nova has anxiety and this was her very first time having someone stay with her while we were away. Connor was calm, patient and clearly understood how to work with nervous dogs. He let Nova warm up at her own pace and she did great with him. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He was punctual, sent photo updates throughout the day and kept us informed which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home the house was exactly as we left it and it was obvious Nova had been well cared for. Connor was respectful, kind, professional and genuinely cared about Nova’s comfort. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Harrison is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $37 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Harrison walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Harrison maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Harrison 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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrison. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
