“Jehiny did a great job at watching our baby girl Boxer. She sent updates and pictures which made us really happy. Boxers are very active and she managed her well. She’s 7 months old and loves attention. Jehiny ensured to give us an update upon our arrival and you could tell our baby girl had a great time. She was wagging her tail and looked very comfortable.”
“Breanna is a fantastic pet sitter! She watched Sophia and Valentina over the weekend and exceeded all my expectations. She was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my girls were in such loving hands. Thank you, Breanna!”
“Adrian took great care of our cat and dog during a weekend sit, providing detailed updates and making sure our energetic dog walked plenty. Really appreciate his great work and looking forward to booking again!”
About: As the granddaughter of a veterinarian, I have always had the most immense love for animals. Two-Three dogs and cats in the household was quite normal for me growing up. So, when I moved out and I started attending school, I knew, if time and resources permitted, that I would eventually want a pet of my own. The universe provided me with my baby girl nova. A Lab/Pitbull mix with lots of playful energy, kisses and cuddles to give. We embarked in her favorite adventures, car rides, parks, pup cups, and enrichment toys. As I have moved states to pursue higher education, I no longer have the resources to relocate her with me and therefore, she resides in the care of family and a family friend. I know how important it is to have help, community, and the necessary resources when taking care of another living being. Therefore, I wish to help others in any way that I can to care for their own fur baby! As a part-time student, my availability is pretty open. I am unavailable Tuesday/Thursday 11-1pm and Wednesday 10-1 pm. Any other days/time I am available, as long as travel time is accounted for. Each pet is different in terms of their needs. That is why I believe it’s important to follow clear instructions from pet-owners. In my home, pets are respected as fellow residents, and cared for with love:).
“Casey was so accommodating and sweet! She was super flexible and let us change end times as needed! Thank you so so much for taking such great care of our baby, we’re so very grateful!”
About: My experience comes from caring for my aunt’s family dog and helping friends by caring for their pets while they’re away. I’ve enjoyed getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable and cared for, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and love. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. 🐾 Every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I tailor my care to each pet and their owner’s instructions. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. As I continue building my experience through Rover, I’m open to different types of pets and services and will make sure each booking is a good fit for both the pet and me. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and giving their pets plenty of care and attention. 🐾
“Rachel was great! Professional, punctual, great communication, and most importantly, great with Frappe. Even my neighbor commented that she was great from what he observed. She’s the first person I’m going to next time I did someone!”
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: Growing up. I had five dogs. Four of them lived up to 14 and 15 years of age. One of them still lives with my sister and it’s currently nine years old. All my life I’ve had experience with dogs and even cared for them up until their senior stage. Even though my dogs are no longer with me, my love for pets still lives on. I recently just finished College, and work less days in my job. So I’m free a lot of the time now, which will help me provide an organized routine for pets. Whether that’s is feeding them, walking them, and spending time with them. When I had my dogs, I would take them outside to my backyard and stay with them until they were finished, and then they were able to walk up the stairs and go back inside. When caring for a pet in your home, I will be sure to do the same and take precautionary measures that are needed to ensure that your fur baby is safe. As well as follow any rules instructed.
“What an amazing cat sitter! We have three cats, with very different personalities and he handled all of them wonderfully. We got tons of photos, videos and updates, and felt very confident leaving them in his hands. My wife says he is the Da Vinci of cat sitter photos!”
“Indira took excellent care of our pets and our home. She sent pictures throughout our time away and provided updates. She was thoughtful and compassionate with our pups. We will be hiring her again!”
About: I’ve owned a pekingese mixed with pug for 10+ years and a blue nose pit bull for 5+ years. I’ve cared for the dogs of family members in the past and for friends of the family. I find dogs enjoyable to be around, for I have been around them all my life. I am available all day, everyday, so anytime of the day would work. I have a large amount of patience, and I am willing to take longer walks to ensure that my duties have been fulfilled. I take pride in my work and you should expect nothing but the results you expect, if not anything better. Dogs have always been fascinating and fun to me, and making a little extra money taking care of them would be a pleasure for me. I’m currently doing part time freelance work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I can do whatever service is needed aside from pets being boarded at my residence unfortunately. I tend to keep a close eye on pets unless instructed otherwise and likely to stay interactive with them to build a relationship. I've done boarding in client's homes as well as for pets with special needs, and I'm always willing to grow and learn to accommodate as many people as possible.
“Andrew was fantastic with our senior dog for an overnight stay. He was very kind and communicative and I felt at ease with him watching our dog. Would definitely recommend him!”
“Mi’kaya is a wonderful sitter and took good care of my two cats while I was gone to my home country for a month long visit. She is responsible and friendly. I trust her for any future sits that I might require for my cats.”
“We cannot thank Milena enough!!! This was the first time leaving our puppy and she made us feel very comfortable by sending updates and pictures during our time away. We also had some last minute travel changes and she was super flexible with changing the plans. Our puppy adored her and we’re so glad we found a trustworthy sitter for him!”
About: I’ve taken care of bigger dogs like mastiffs, greyhounds, and many more. With also maintain strong connections with not only the dogs but the caretakers of these pets. In stressful situations I remain calm and can handle shy or reactive dogs. I’m willing to take dogs on hikes the park or exciting adventures. I’m currently a full time student in New Jersey but I’m constantly back in the city of Washington, D.C. At night I have the most free time during the beginning of the weekdays but towards the weekend my schedule free’s up for any time. I pay very close attention to the pets movement, and signs that it might need sorry or something may be wrong. In both my home and clients home I would apply this as well as on walks.
“Gabriel took great care of my senior dog for 2 days in my home. He was respectful, responsive and sent lots of photos of our sweet boy. He left the house spotless and Dallas was a happy boy when we got home. I would definitely hire him again! Thanks, Gabriel!”
About: But I am currently living the life of a crazy cat lady as mom to Sophie and Tommy. I am a kind, gentle and compassionate person who truly loves the majority of living creatures. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and babysit for my pupniece and friends' pets regularly (including lizards). I'd love to help care for your pets! I currently work full time, so my available weekday hours are limited, but am available for drop-ins at night on Mondays and Wednesdays, all day Tuesdays and Fridays and weekends. I am available to visit your home and take care of your pet according to your directions and needs, whether letting your dog run in the yard or crating them when I leave.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrison
Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!
Marley was wonderful\! She took great care of Mio while we were away and made sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for\. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind while traveling\. I really appreciated her patience, attentiveness, and the care she showed him\. I came home to a happy, well\-cared\-for cat\. I would absolutely book Marley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter\!
Yari was so great with my dogs, it was great to have someone who knew beagles super well since we have an anxious boy! It gave me a lot of peace of mind to have her check on them while I was away, and she was a joy to work with :) Will most definitely book again in the future!
We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.
Joni was amazing! Followed my instructions to a T, sent plenty of photos and updates. Even offered to water my garden during a heat wave! Came home to two happy and well loved animals, a clean house, and some lovely fresh flowers placed in water. Can’t recommend Joni enough.
Truly the best sitter! Sent us updates and many pictures of our pup throughout our trip which we loved. She also took him to the dog park on our property twice a day so he had the time of his life. Could not have asked for a better person to take care of our little guy. She’s also incredibly sweet and respectful. Can’t recommend her enough!
Darrin was great taking care of my two boys at my home for a weekend trip I had planned. He provided frequent updates and pictures and was even able to accommodate beyond the originally scheduled trip if needed due to weather travel disruptions. 10/10 would recommend and would happily use him again if ever needed! Thanks again from me and the boys!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Harrison is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
