“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly reliable and on time every single day. We looked forward to her Rover reports and the pictures she sent, which gave us total peace of mind. Her communication was top-notch throughout the entire time. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her!”
“Tami was so thoughtful and kind while she did her drop ins for our cat while we were gone. She sent pictures, videos, and kept us informed while we were gone. She was wonderful, will book with her again when needed.”
About: Hello! My name is Rachel. I'm currently an online college student pursuing my bachelor's degree in Sports Administration and work as an Event Supervisor. I've owned dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. My beloved Australian Shepherd, Ace, was my best friend for 14½ years, and we completed obedience training together twice. My significant other and I currently have a cute, sassy cat named Stinky, and I also have family members who rescue dogs, giving me valuable knowledge and experience with animals of all kinds. I know your pet is family, and my goal is to care for them just as you would. I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If my calendar doesn't show availability that meets your needs, please don't hesitate to reach out! My schedule can sometimes be more flexible than what's reflected, and I'm always happy to see if we can find a time that works. I’m currently working part time and going to school online. I am available to be around and take care of your pet most hours of the day unless I have an event I am working in the evening, then I would make sure I leave and return in timely fashion. When taking care of your pet at your home, if there is a fenced yard, I like to know if there are any holes or possible escape artists. If there is not fence I will keep your pet on a leash at all times
“Kayla was great with Biscuit!! She provided plenty of pictures and updates. Biscuit is a kitten so he requires playtime and Kayla went the extra mile playing with him. You could tell she just loves cats”
“Britnie and Steve took excellent care of my kitty while I was away. They were thorough and communicative throughout. I would not hesitate to book with them again in the future!”
About: Ive always loved all animals, and have had experience all through my life with them as I've had cats and dogs my whole life, I currently have 2 dogs at home, and they are crazy! I do now have and specific or special training with pets, I do know how to take care of and handle daily tasks for cats/dogs. I am looking to take care of pets full time for now, and want to continue taking care of them into the future, I'm available most days out of the week every week. With my dogs at home I walk them, pick up the poop and throw it away, I feed them, they get 2 different foods, Jasper is a puppy and needs a slow feeder, buddy is 2 years and gets fed out of a normal bowl, they get fed twice daily once in the morning and once at night. They love to play fetch and tug of war, but also like their cuddle time.
About: I've had pets my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Yorkies to Huskies. As a proud cat mom to two energetic "tiny terrors," I'm also comfortable caring for cats and understanding their unique personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I am an experienced exotic pet keeper and understand the importance of proper care, feeding schedules, and attention to each pet's individual needs. I love spending time outdoors playing with dogs, going for walks, and helping them stay active and happy. I'm also experienced in caring for senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention they may require. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. Animals have always been a part of my daily life. Between caring for my own cats and years of experience with dogs, exotic pets, and senior animals, pet care is second nature to me. I work remotely, which allows me to be home throughout the day and provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and care as needed. I make time each day for feeding, exercise, enrichment, and lots of affection. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I provide care in both my home and my clients' homes, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. Since I work remotely, I am home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I am comfortable crating pets if needed. As I am just getting started, I do not currently have a crate available, so I ask that owners provide one if their pet is crate trained or requires crating. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. 🐾
“Iyla checked in on my cats while I was away overnight. She said they did great. The social one followed her around and my skittish one actually came out for her! Thank you so much for taking care of my cats while I was away Iyla!”
About: I usually fall in love with pets when I meet them and treat them as I would treat my own. I have had cats and dogs all my life and enjoy being around them more than some people in my life. I am very patient and spend a lot of time just being with the pet talking to them and petting them. I am very good at following your directions and will not deviate from them. I haven't met a pet that I don't like yet. Please contact me if I can be of service to you or your pets. Thank you for your time and consideration. I also take care of other pets(fish etc.) but not snakes. I am available most days… I work at a local store part time… I usually can accommodate almost any situation… contact me and we can see what needs to done I can work around your schedule. I have no problem staying at your home as my cats are easy to take care of. I have never met a pet I didn’t like! I will follow your orders. Any special needs will be taken seriously. I usually go outside with the pups. Please be sure to write down any requests.
About: Certified in Pet First Aid/CPR and training, I bring 6 years of experience working with diverse dog breeds, ages, and temperaments, ranging from shy to reactive/aggressive. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I excel in building bonds and fostering confidence. I also have some experience in cat sitting. I work full-time now, but I truly miss dog training and spending time working with dogs. On my days off, I’d love to dedicate my time to helping you and caring for your pets when you need it most. Providing reliable, attentive, and loving care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like my own. For dog sitting, I prioritize maintaining your dog's routine in their familiar environment. I prefer meeting you and your dog beforehand to understand your expectations and their daily schedule. I enjoy enriching their lives with walks and engaging activities, including training games, tricks, and enrichment puzzles. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.
About: I think that animals have personalities, feelings, and emotions just like humans do. So when I take care of a furry friend, it's like I'm taking care of a baby. They need a lot of attention and require a lot of care. I like to get to know your fur baby and build a bond with them. I know that leaving your pet with a stranger can be nerve-racking but I want you to know that when you leave your dog in my care, that they will be treated with respect and given the best care that I can provide. I am always available and willing to put in the effort it takes. This would help supplement my income and give me the opportunity to spend more time with fur babies of all kinds! I enjoy the company of fur babies, it is very therapeutic. I have plenty of space for fur babies to be comfortable. I love to take my baby on walks and have plenty of play time as well.
“Danielle is great! We have used her three years in a row when we go out of town around the 4th of July. My cat does not really like her - or any strangers - but Danielle does a good job of taking care of her and making sure she’s OK.”
About: Dependable and very responsible. Mature, considerate and polite. I have a 20-year-old male cat that I rescued at 6 months old. I understand how important his health is and ensure that his needs are met on a daily basis. I have a pretty flexible schedule and available as well on weekends and holidays. I dog sit for two families, each own labs. I cat sit for my neighbors when they travel out of town for work and family events. I follow the owner's detailed instructions regarding feeding time, medications, etc. None of my dogs have had an accident in the house while the owner is away because I follow the owner's time schedule as if they were home.
About: I love cats and dogs and will care for them as they are my own! Your babies will be cared for as they require with lots of love given I am currently working from home and have open availability to care for your pets during the week and weekends! ! Whether in your house, popping in or walking. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs and 1 cat to keep your pet safe. My dogs love other dogs and my cat will mind her own business
“Tami was awesome! I've never left my dogs with anyone before so I didn't know how they would be. I felt super comfortable leaving them in Tami's care. She's friendly and Sweet. Both nights the dogs curled up with her to sleep with no problem. She made going away less stressful. I will definitely have her over to stay with my dogs again. I also appreciated that she texted us right back when we texted her. Thanks Tami!”
About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the go to pet sitter. I take dogs on their daily walks , keep them entertained, fed and happy. With cats, I keep them company so they never feel lonely while their parents are away and will give them all the cuddles. Your pets will get all the love, laughs, and attention they deserve. Since I’m a part time student, my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether you need daily check ins, walks, playtime, or longer visits, I can usually adjust my schedule to make sure your pets get all the attention they need I live in a cozy tri level home that’s perfect for keeping pets comfortable and safe. I’m able to easily separate my own pets from the pets I’m sitting for, giving everyone their own space while still making sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. Whether they prefer quiet time, room to explore, or lots of snuggles, I can create a safe, relaxed environment that fits their needs while they’re here.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrison Township
Christina was great. This was a very last minute booking for two 60 minute drop ins for the very next day for feeding and play time. She came by for a meet and greet the same day. The questions she asked made me comfortable that she had my two dogs best interest at heart. She took photos and even got some great action shots that I may have to frame! I could tell my dogs were happy and healthy and tired when I got home late in the evening. I will definitely use Christina again.
Michelle was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly reliable and on time every single day. We looked forward to her Rover reports and the pictures she sent, which gave us total peace of mind. Her communication was top-notch throughout the entire time. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Harrison Township is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,761 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harrison Township. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrison Township. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
