“Aubree was absolutely wonderful! We have two dogs and three cats, and she did an amazing job caring for all of them while we were away. She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets as if they were her own. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, which we really appreciated and made it so easy to know our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also left our home very clean and tidy, and everything was exactly as we left it when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book Aubree again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Very nice young lady, dependable, on time and flexible enough to accomodate last minute. Biscuit loved playing with her and going for a walk! We are looking forward to having her again.”
About: I have been in love with animals all of my life. I've cared for and owned cats, dogs, rodents, bearded dragons. I love them all. My hours are fairly flexible. Weekends are open to stayovers, if needed. I can day sit dogs outside at my home but not inside, unfortunately. I am open to whatever your pet's needs are. Walks, feeding, medication, cleanup. I don't mind multiple pets. I'll do multiple visits depending on proximity.
About: Hi, my name is Annette and I have loved animals my whole life! I had show animals through my 4-H and FFA years where I was able to train, nuture, and love sheep and steers that I showed at the county fair. I was raised on a farm and had the opportunity to be able to also ride and care for horses. I have had two dogs in our family that have been loved and miss them dearly. I am at an age in my life where we can travel a little bit more without having to worry about dog care for myself anymore. I know how hard it is to find good loving care for your fur babies when the need for vacation or travel occurs. Thats why I would love to give those entrusted in my loving care to have a worry free vacation or drop in visits, providing walks and potty breaks when life gets busy. Here is a little background information about myself and my previously owned dogs that have been very loved and no longer with me. I do work a Physical Therapy job Monday - Thursday. Two days are half days and the other two are full 10 hour days. My black purebred pug named Angus was with me for almost 15 years. I recently lost our Dorky (yorkie/dachshund mix) named Bentley aka Mr. Beans also known as Mr. Weenie who was with us for just over 16 years. Grandma to our 3 year old grandpup Graham who is a long hair dachshund who visits us often. I found this Rover app and decided to give it a try as a side hobby to spend some time with your animals to help my heart heal as I love dogs! Dogs speak to my soul and therapy for our hearts! ❤️ I am currently working Monday thru Thursdays. Available to let dogs roam outside before work, lunch breaks, and after work with being crated during work hours only. My fenced in Back yard allows freedom to roam free, play, and explore. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard for your dog to run around and roam, or if you prefer me to come to your house that is also another option. love taking walks, whether it is around your neighborhood or mine, your dog is welcome with a harness or leash to come on a walk with me. I have 2 clean kennels or you can bring your own if you prefer and a home full of love.
About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work. I currently work form home so I can provide constant care if that is needed. Please let me know ahead of time so that I can make appropriate accommodations :) Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I CAN accommodate last minute requests. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
“Came home and my pup seemed well cared for! She sent me some photos while I was away for the week. Was flexible and agreed to meet him beforehand to see if they would be a good fit. Would book again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for around five years. I will make sure your dog is well loved and cared for. I will take them on lots of walks, and like I said, give them lots of love. I’m currently in school working towards my x-ray degree. I have class Monday, Wednesday at five and Thursdays I’m unavailable all day. Any other time I’m completely available to give your dog lots of love and all the walks that they need. As of right now, I’m living in an apartment with lots of grass, but no fenced backyard. But I will take them on lots and lots of walks.
About: I have a big spacious fenced in yard. My home is calm and welcoming which will help your dogs feel right at home! I have cared for dogs of families and friend. I’m available for boarding Friday through Monday all day which gives me more than enough time to take your puppies on walks and give them the care and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet little 2 year old that is so gentle and will give your furry babies all the snuggles.
“Was great with our dog. Showed up on time, gave good daily updates, and left the house nice and clean. Followed instructions on medication and walks/playing. 100% will book again.”
“Ali was amazing! She took great care of our pups and kept us up to date and in the loop. We came home and she left the house clean as well! We would definitely book with her again. 🙂”
About: I have been watching animals for 16 years and have been surrounded by them my whole life. My husband and I have two dogs and two cats. We have trained our dogs ourselves. We have a fenced in back yard and lots of toys and mentally stimulating activities for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I don’t love when animals are lonely and locked in cages all day - so I want to help you as best as I can! I work from home off eastern time with occasional work trips. I’m pretty flexible during the week and can move my schedule around to accommodate you! I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have two cats but they tend to hide when there’s a lot of commotion. I can crate your fur baby at your request! I am all for open and honest communication and would love to send you updates through the day!
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a bit nervous. After our meet and greet (we could have sat and talked for hours!) I had absolutely no worries going into it. Turns out Marci was the best! She was very communicative. My house was left spotless - she went the extra mile to strip the bed and put sheets in the laundry room, empty kitty litter and trash, and left everything neat and tidy. I feel my two cats were well cared for. I will definitely have Marci house/cat sit for us again. Thanks!”
“I can’t say enough! She is awesome! Took amazing care of my puppies. House looked great! My puppies desperately need to be groomed, but I had to cancel their appointment. If I’m honest, I’m horrible at brushing them. She took the time to brush both of them out and they looked 10 times better when I got back. Will definitely use again!”
“Jackie is absolutely amazing. I had a unique situation come up while I was gone and she quickly adapted and took such great care of my doggo. I would highly recommend her. She really treated my pup like one of her own and goes above and beyond.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Harrisville is $42
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisville
She took great care of our two dogs, followed our instructions, and kept us updated with photos throughout her stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dogs and making sure our needs were met. She was respectful of our home and left everything as she found it. We would happily book with her again!
Kami was incredible. Not only did she accept our last-minute request for our dog and cats, but she did so well with the pets! They loved her. She also is the only pet sitter that's ever washed her sheets and re-made the bed. Do not hestitate to book. She is trustworthy and amazing with pets!
Dawn did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away for military duty. There was a slight hiccup and she immediately contacted me and we figured out the best fix for what was going on! She gave great updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone and I am looking forward to using Dawn again to watch my girl! 10/10, if I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Harrisville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $70 per night.

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 Harrisville 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 Harrisville 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 Harrisville 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.
