About: I have been working in animal care for the last 10 years between animal shelters and boarding facilities. I can provide references. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, I have experience working with dogs and cats of all temperaments and also have knowledge in administering medications and insulin if needed. I am currently open. I can provide walks, drop ins, baths, nails, transport to and from daycare, whatever is needed! My routine is pretty set once I have a good schedule going! I can follow any instructions left by the client. I am very committed to making sure your pet stays happy and healthy in the time they spend with me.
“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our 15 year old dachshund while we were on vacation. He sent lots of photos and updates to put our minds at ease. Our dog was happy as could be upon our return. Would absolutely book with Michael again!”
About: I have ran an animal rescue for years and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I can bathe, provide meds, socialize, and give playtime and walks. I will have 3 free days a week and some evenings available to provide services. I can assist with dog walking and socialization for both dogs and cats. I provide feeding and water schedules exactly as the owner prefers for their pet, and provide multiple walks, playtime, and socialization, as well as a variety of toys.
“Plachette gave all the right attention to our two cats,two dogs and 5 fish tanks- she was responsive and engaging throughout our week long trip. Her maturity and experince put us as ease, and her empathy and compassion with our fur-family was obvious from the moment she met them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
About: Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me. for as long as i can remember, i’ve wanted to take care of animals in some fashion. Rover is the perfect way to do that while i’m still in college! I work part time at Getgo on south pike rd, while also going to school full time for Psychology. I’ll be able to spend time with your fur baby after work, after school, and in my free time thursday - saturday. we have two golden retrievers who are the sweetest boys around. we have a front and back yard, neither are fenced in due to their size.
About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!
“Beatriz was very attentive and caring with our dog Daisy. She warmed up to her in no time! Beatriz also went above and beyond in caring for our house and waiting for packages. I would gladly rebook her if she is available next time we are on a trip!”
“Kaylee was fantastic and made going away a breeze! She was responsive, professional, and very competent. She gave us regular updates and pictures which was great. I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely go to her first when we need someone we can trust with our pups.”
“Very easy to work with from start to finish. They show a genuine love for all pets. Communicated well through the entire process. Highly recommend for anyone needing in home care.”
“Had previously used Kaitlyn for a drop in for 3 little dogs who have pea sized bladders and require walks every 3 hours. They also don't always agree on routing which is to say they are not necessarily easy to walk. This time, she stayed at our home for 4 days. All went perfectly. Kaitlyn is meticulous about following directions give and is genuinely concerned about providing the same level of care that pups get from their owners. We give Kaitlyn 12 paws up and plan to use her often.”
“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”
“5 Stars – Amazing Care for My Dogs! Joe V. boarded my two dogs in his home while we were away, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From the start, Joe was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. He took the time to learn their personalities and needs, which really stood out to me. Throughout their stay, Joe kept me updated with regular photos and messages, showing how much my dogs were enjoying their time with him and the other dogs in his care. I could tell they were treated like family! When we came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and in great spirits—proof that they were well cared for. Joe’s home and fenced yard are well-suited for pets, and I felt confident they were in good hands the whole time. I highly recommend Joe if you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out again next time we need care for our dogs!”
“Brittany was staying with my two dogs for 5 days and everything went great. When we returned the dogs were happy and healthy and the house was in perfect order. I will definitely ask Brittany to house sit again.”
“Chris is an amazing sitter! Our pup is in love! Chris is attentive, thorough, and experienced. He sent updates and photos while we were away. He is a wonderful, kind man and our Coco can't wait for her next booking. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrison Township
Isabella (Bella) did a wonderful job watching our crew of 2 dogs and 2 cats. We got pictures every day that we were away and the house was well taken care of as well. We never had to wonder how things were going as updates were frequent! We would absolutely book with Bella again!
Crystal was fabulous with our 14-yr old tri-pod golden doodle! She kept us updated, sent pics, gave our dear old pup lots of love and let us enjoy a long-weekend away without worrying about our dear dog with special needs. She maintained our pup’s normal routine. And we came home to a happy dog and a spotless home! We highly recommend Crystal—she is very conscientious and really cares about her work.

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 , 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.
