“Tereasa is a fantastic dog sitter, extremely reliable and is an excellent communicator! The dogs are always happy and well adjusted when we return home. I highly recommend her.”
“Noa did a phenomenal job taking care of my boys. She made sure they were good, sent plenty of pictures and videos and even stayed longer sometimes to make sure they weren’t by themselves too long. Would definitely recommend and use again! They were in great hands”
“Isaiah was wonderful with our dogs (and home), and could not have been more respectful. Our 3 pups and each bit unique, and we left feeling like we knew they were in good hands. He was also responsive and helpful when a unexpected delivery arrived while gone. We will certainly reach out again next time we are in need of a sitter.”
About: I have 9 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with senior pet care, including administering medication and helping with mobility, and I’m also skilled at working with puppies helping to burn off energy with play. I treat every pet like family and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm an online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of free time throughout the day. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I love being able to take breaks from studying to spend time with animals, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I take pet safety and comfort seriously, whether in my home or a client’s. At my home, I have a secure fenced in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space indoors for pets to relax. I also have extra crates and cages available if needed for comfort, training, or quiet time. I have two friendly, well behaved dogs who love the company of other pets, but I always introduce new pets carefully to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where they can feel at home.
“100% recommend Kathleen!! She treats your pet like her own. Very respectful of our home. Took our dog on a walk every night & fed our fish. It’s hard for us to take a vaca & leave our baby at home, Kathleen made the process easy.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.
“Kylie did an awesome job staying with our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. Quick to respond and thorough communication, provided lots of photos and updates. She was fantastic with our almost 16 year old senior dog who wears a diaper and requires more care, and also played fetch in the backyard with our younger dog. She was tidy and left the house spotless. Would book again!”
“Angela is the best!! 10/10 hands down. My Fiancée and I flew out of town for a few days and I was so happy with Angela’s professionalism and communication. It was our first time using Rover, as well as, the first time someone we didn’t know watch our dogs. Angela stayed at our home with our dogs. She left us a sweet card and outline of updates during her stay when we returned home. Outstanding updates and thoughtfulness through text while we were gone. Angela will be the first person we speak with next time our animals and house need watching. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Conner and I am so excited about this opportunity! I don’t have any dogs that live with me but my parents have two dogs of my own, a standard poodle and a West Highland Terrior. I stop by a couple times per week at their house to see how they are doing. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have housesitted and dog sitted for weeks at a time for friends and family. I have walked dogs, made pickups and drop offs, etc. I am a dependable and responsible individual who wants to keep the pets safe! That’s my main priority. At the end of the day, I want the owner and pet to both have had awesome experiences. I’m hoping that I am able to care for your pet soon! If you would like more information, please reach out! Thank you so so much!
About: I live with a poodle and am experienced in daily pet care, including walking, feeding, and companionship. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and birds, and take pride in providing reliable, loving care. I am currently flexible at the moment. This is because I am currently an Independent Contractor Full time. Monday - Sunday works great for me. I am willing to offer service at the pet parents home. I am open to dogs, cats and birds. Any other animal I would be willing to discuss
“Kait took very good care of our cat Poppy. She sent frequent photos to let us know he was doing well. We could tell Poppy was very comfortable with Kait which put us at ease as we were enjoying our trip.”
“Brianna was so incredibly attentive to both our cat and dogs needs. Very communicative and kept us up to date on how they were doing throughout the weekend. Would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!”
“We love Tonia! She was fantastic with our two treasured pups. She was attentive, loving, and very clean/ organized, which always makes coming home a delight. She made sure to send a lot of pictures so we always knew our babies were well cared for. 100% recommend!”
“We booked Megan to watch our two dogs at our house while we were away for the weekend. This was our first experience with Rover. Megan was great. The dogs both seemed happy to be with her. She had no problems administering pills for the dogs and keeping them entertained (one of our pups is high energy and the other is low energy). She also took excellent care of the house. She washed all the sheets and towels without being asked and left the house very clean when we returned. She also sent us pictures of the dogs while we were gone and was very responsive before and during the stay. We would definitely rebook with her again if needed.”

“We were somewhat anxious about leaving our dog with a sitter for the first time. We were very impressed when we met Rachelle, and our minds were put at ease by her maturity and her knowledge and experience with dogs. Our dog instantly developed a bond with Rachelle, and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry about the safety of our dog and our home. Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend Rachelle as someone who is dependable and will take good care of your pet.”

“Austin took great care of our dog, Zeke, while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Zeke was in good hands, and we came back to a happy pup and a clean, well-kept house. We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a pet/house sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Harrison is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
