Priyanka was wonderful with Carlos and Chief! Her communication was great and she provided the best photos of them while I was away - even better than I get sometimes! I would highly recommend Priyanka for your cat-sitting needs.

About: I’m big on personalized, one-on-one care and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I’m very attentive, detail-oriented, and observant of body language, so I try to understand each pet’s comfort level, energy, and routine rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. As a dog owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Because my work is contract-based, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the week for pet care. I love animals, and as a dog parent myself, I’ve kept my availability open during times I know are especially helpful for other pet parents. I’ve built walks and drop-in visits into my routine and like to keep my schedule manageable so I can be reliable, attentive, and fully present with each pet. I know how important trust is when someone is coming into your home and caring for your pet. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and very mindful of a pet’s body language and comfort level. I aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care so your pet feels safe and well looked after in their familiar environment. Happy to offer a free meet and greet beforehand so you and your pet can feel comfortable and see if it’s a good fit.

About: Unfortunately, I do not have professional experience as a pet sitter, but I have enjoyed playing with pets since childhood and have a special fondness for them. Whenever possible, I play with, walk, and help care for the pets of my friends, family, and partners. I currently work part-time with other apps, so I don't have schedule flexibility. So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available to stay at your home and visit your pet while you are away, if necessary. I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am available and flexible enough to stay at your home and look after your pet—feeding, walking, and providing all the care they need and deserve, along with plenty of affection and attention, of course. I am very organized and meticulous about every detail.

About: I’m a recent graduate and lifelong animal lover. I’ve helped care for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ dogs since I was young, and I also have two dogs back home in Korea that I’ve raised since they were puppies. Because I’ve grown up with animals, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from playful, energetic pups to shy or senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I can help with walking, feeding, basic care, and lots of playtime and affection. People who know me trust that I’m responsible, calm, and very attentive to each dog’s unique needs and routines, and I always treat every pet like my own family. As a recent graduate currently not working a traditional full-time job, I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time and attention to your pets. I can adjust to your preferred routine, whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening play sessions. I am available on weekdays and weekends and can usually accommodate last-minute bookings or schedule changes. Because pet care is my main focus right now, your dog or cat won’t be squeezed into a busy day. I can be present, patient, and fully engaged with them. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I am in your home or out on a walk, I am careful about leashes, doors, and surroundings so your pet stays secure at all times. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding guidelines, medication schedules, and any specific rules you have about furniture, treats, or interactions with other animals. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is in reliable hands and for your pet to feel calm, safe, and loved while we are together.

About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is that I always prioritize a pet safety their environment, but most importantly, I prioritize them feeling secure, knowing that they’re in the right hands. I currently have a flexible work schedule that can fit into taking good care of any fur babies I meet. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so that will never be an issue either. Once I’m off a meeting I can go right back into giving the pet as much attention possible. Definitely a good distraction from work! To me, I consider pets very similar to humans. So I always assure that they’re in good hands regarding safety. Always better to have fun but to prioritize safety first!

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I have hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities and always take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and boundaries. I’ve also attended professional dog training classes with my own dog, which has given me a better understanding of canine behavior, safe handling, basic training techniques, and how to stay calm and respond appropriately in unexpected situations. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits. I follow care instructions closely and prioritize safety and clear communication at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training and reinforcement, grooming, and administering medications when needed. I’m patient with shy or cautious dogs and never force interactions before they’re comfortable. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and spend most of my week working from home. My mom is also home throughout the week, so there is almost always someone at home with the pets. I typically go into the office from around 9 AM to 4 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This means pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and can enjoy regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also do my best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routine so they can feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I share my home with a friendly neutered male cat and a small neutered male poodle. Both are accustomed to other animals. I provide a clean, comfortable home environment and have separate spaces available when pets need quiet time or a little space of their own. Safety is always my priority. I supervise interactions between pets, follow each owner’s instructions closely, and respect every dog’s individual routine and boundaries. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates throughout their stay.

About: Had a very aggressive dog when I was younger even lead me to getting bit pretty badly but I know dogs don’t know any better and I think they still deserve love and care no matter what which gives me experience with all types of dogs. Currently am a server at night which gives me lots of free time during the day. I’m moving away soon so I’m super available anytime I have a 12 year old bulldog and a 9 year old goldendoodle my dear bulldog is the love of my life I’ve had him for as long as I can remember. He was extremely feisty in his early years but all dogs deserve a second chance

About: If you need a kind, positive dog sitter who loves walking a lot, here I am. My grooming certificate is a big plus in case you need nail trimming or having your dog brushed and dead hair removed. Since I work online, my day is flexible so I can walk with your dog and give your pet more attention. Also, waking up early is never a problem. You need to bring his/her food and favorite snacks. I'll give food that you provide according to your dog's schedule. Also, trying to make your dog feel safe is a must for me. His/her favorite toy would help a lot. So, if you could bring a few, it'd be great. I don't allow dogs on my bed. There is a comfy and soft mat.

About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

About: Hi! My name is Carlize, and I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 7 years old. I’m a huge dog person and a true animal lover!

Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.

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 Harrison 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 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!

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 Harrison 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 Harrison. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
