About: I’ve loved and raised dogs and cats my entire life, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, energy levels, and unique routines. Today, I care for regular repeat clients who trust me with their pets’ everyday needs from high energy neighborhood walks and feeding schedules to mid day drop ins and occasional in home care. I treat every single pet with the exact same care, safety, and respect as my own. I also am experienced In a variety of animal medicine due to caring for family pets that got sick. Ranging from diabetic cat shots to daily medication and massages for senior dogs with hip and muscle problems. While currently working flexible service industry shifts, my primary goal and passion is growing my dog care business full-time. My schedule offers great flexibility throughout the day—especially mornings and middays for walking, feeding, and sitting. With the intent to be available full time for my clients. I treat every dog's routine with total dedication, consistency, and care. I’ve loved and lived with dogs my whole life, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for comes naturally to me. I bring that same devotion to my clients and their pups every single day. From energetic walks and quick drop in visits to dog park trips and the occasional overnight stay, I always aim to exceed expectations so you have complete peace of mind whenever your pet is with me.
About: Non smoking house. I typically only host one dog family at a time but please tell me if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs in case I have an emergency booking. I have had puppies, seniors and everything in between. I love all the dogs, big, medium and little! They will be spoiled immensely with me! My husband and 21 year old son are also in the home so I cannot accommodate dogs who are male reactive. I only take spayed or neutered pets. I work from home a lot with a flexible schedule. I always keep an eye on your pet and love to send updates/photos during their stay or a walk. Communication is very important! Let’s schedule a meet and greet soon! Mostly work from home so they are not left alone for long. Only adults at home who know how to interact with and acclimate all visitors! Fenced,safe yard. Will exercise your pet or let them relax as requested. We allow pets on furniture- bring their favorite toys, treats and bones! Updates sent frequently! I also volunteer walking dogs at a nearby shelter so I can handle any size dog while on walks. I’ll give them as much or little exercise as they are accustomed to. Doing a meet and greet helps everyone make sure it’s a good fit!
“Mariah was fantastic! Our nervous dog has a hard time when we leave and Mariah was so great with him! He was nervous at first but warmed up quickly and was happy to follow her everywhere. She sent regular updates, left the house in perfect condition, and even left a little “doggy report card” which was so nice to come home to. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Lizz was wonderful! We left both our dog and cat in her care, and we didn’t worry a bit if they were in good hands. Our dog Oliver had epilepsy and required twice daily medication. Lizz made sure he didn’t miss a dose! She sent us pictures throughout the week, knowing how much we missed them. We will absolutely be booking Lizz again, thank you Lizz!!”
About: I’ve taken care of the dogs in the family for years, and still do with two pups of my own. I also work at a veterinary hospital as a vet tech I can tend to emergency situations, post- op care, giving medication’s cleaning bowls regularly, noticing any issues and giving them lots of kisses! I’m comfortable with senior dogs and puppies, and used to foster! I’m also CPR certified! I work 12 hour shifts every other day, so I’m open to weekend stays, days after work and the entire next day, some holidays, vacations. On days I don’t work I can stop by often to play, go for a walk, hang inside/outside or go for a car ride! Depending on your home, I’m comfortable crating if necessary, separating multiple dogs for meals, keeping them calm after eating, not leaving them unattended with toys then can rip apart or anything they can get into, including anything I might have, (shoes, purse, keys). If we go for a walk I will ensure all equipment fits properly so we don’t have any issues.
“Christina was amazing! She was so patient with my dog, George. He’s not used to new people around but he took to Christina very quickly. She sent pics, videos and updates the entire time. I felt so comfortable having her stay at the house with our baby. I will definitely book Christina again.”
About: When I was a little kid, my dream job was to be a veterinarian, so you can imagine my excitement when I got into the vet tech program right out of high school. Despite that, I quickly fell flat on my face and decided I couldn’t emotionally handle it. I’m undecided about schooling now, but I’ve never lost the love I have for animals or the desire to work with them in one way or another. I started working full-time at an animal hospital in the boarding & grooming wing for almost 6 years, and I do pet-sitting in my free time! Due to my experiences, I’ve been around all kinds of dogs and cats with all sorts of personalities, behaviors, medications, and disabilities; so I like to believe I can work around just about anything for your pet! Was on hiatus from Rover as I was doing enough pet-sitting locally for people, but I wanted to expand my clientele. Please reach out if interested! I’d love to become one of your pet’s contacts! <3 I left my last workplace due to poor management, so I’m between jobs at the moment meaning I have full availability for the time being! Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know their reactivity to things such as people, other dogs, and any other small animals they might pass on a walk (if applicable) so I know what to avoid to keep your pet’s stress levels down—and mine too! Any quirks you know about your pet as to what they like or dislike. I like to remind people that your pet & I will start as strangers. Please share everything you think I should know!
“Christine is so good with our dogs. They both have anxiety with storms and fireworks and she makes sure she gives them extra attention and meds if needed. They just love her!”
“Jamie was great! She offered a meet and greet prior to the actual date needed. She provided update pictures throughout the visit. She was willing to work with me on an appropriate schedule time for the start and end time. Will definitely use in the future! Thanks again!”
“Fateha house sat for our 8 week old kitten and she was incredible! She was very clean and sent us regular updates making us feel super confident in our decision to book her. It was our first time using rover, so we were definitely nervous, but we were in good hands with Fateha! 10/10 would book again.”
About: I love animals very much, so keeping company and entertaining pets brings me so much joy! I work in a doggy daycare, so I get to meet all sorts of dogs every day and am comfortable with dogs and/or cats of all breeds and sizes!! I am currently a full time college student who works on the weekends, but I am happy to stop in between classes, and hang out in the home for the remainder of my free time! I love keeping pets entertained, so playing inside and outside (if possible) is a regular! If outdoor time is limited or has restrictions, I can follow whatever instructions or restrictions that are put in place by the owner.
About: Hi! I’m Evan, and I’m a friendly, responsible, and dependable pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive to their individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply giving them some extra attention and companionship. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I am either at the gym or doing some side work, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available most days. I’m happy to work with your schedule and would love to help whenever you need! I have had a dog in my family my entire life, had a dog for the last 5 years and have experience caring for dogs in an apartment, including on the top floor. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and will always treat your pet like my own!
“So many good things to say! We have two dogs and have had Ashley dog sit and do daily visits. She has done great at both and we will continue to use her. She kept us up to date while we were away and took good care of our guys.”
“We cannot say enough about Josh. He is AMAZING 🤩 He loves our dogs like his own and is very reliable and respectful. Definitely will be booking him again for our pets needs.”
“We were very blessed to have selected Brandi. She take amazing care of Duke & Dutchess while we were gone. Plus sent update pictures of each dog during that time. They were very comfortable with her and listened to her very well. Thank you again for your care for our fur babies. Yes we would have her back in 2023 if she is not booked already. Lewis”
“Emilie C was great. She took care of my animals and house very well. As well as my plants. I especially loved that she took the time to message me throughout my trip to let me know how things were going. Sending pics of my animals and updates. I will definitely book her again for all future trips”

FAQs for House Sitting - Harrison Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Harrison Township on Rover is $26.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,645 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harrison Township. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Township 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 Township 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 Township 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrison Township. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
