“Ashley is absolutely amazing! She's very communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals. She also took out my trash and did my dishes and a few other chores, which was a wonderful surprise. Most of all, the dogs were clearly happy and relaxed when I got home. I'll definitely be going with Ashley again!”
“Took great care of our dog while we were gone for 4 days. Was patient when he was scared and made sure to share lots of photos of him. Would definitely book again!”
“Jessica took care of my Cocker Spaniel in my home over the weekend. She's incredibly loving, intuitive and made sure she understood exactly how to give him his medicine. She sent frequent pictures and updates, which made my entire trip much better knowing my sweet pup was well taken care of. I look forward to having her in my home again and giving my pup loving attention! She's exactly what you hope to find when looking for a sitter. Thank you big, Jessica!”
“Very professional and polite and has as a wonderful way with dogs! Great communication on letting me know what was going on while we were away. Will definitely request Heidi again.”
“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
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.
“Our usual dog sitter had to cancel on us last minute, so we were in a bind trying to find someone else to care for our sweet, special needs dog with less than a weeks notice. Big ask, especially last minute. Brandi was so quick to respond, happy to take on the job, and asked really good questions to ensure our doggo was well taken care of while we were gone. She sent pictures throughout our trip and made sure he had his medications at the times he needed them, and even took him to get a pup cup. She not only took great care of our dog, but our house as well. We came back to the house as we left it. She was kind, reliable, and we absolutely loved working with her. We will definitely be reaching out to 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!
“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”
“Emma did an amazing job watching my dogs. She was available last minute, a great communicator, and spent a ton of time with my dogs! She took great care of my house as well. Highly recommend!!”
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.
“She was awesome with our two dogs! This was our first trip where we used this service and we were nervous about how our dogs would do and trusting someone in our home. Clasie made sure to meet the dogs and us beforehand, which went great and then while watching the dogs she sent us updates and pictures. This made our experience with Rover great and I would highly recommend Clasie to watch your animals! Thank you again!”
“We’ve booked with her multiple times, and she has been amazing every single time! She takes such great care of our dogs, sends thoughtful updates and photos, and truly treats them like her own. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”
About: Animals have been the center of my world since I was 10 years old, when I got the dog who became the love of my life. Because my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I am looking to connect with dogs elsewhere and give them all the love I miss sharing at home. Whether I am dropping in for a quick walk or staying at your home for a house sit, your pup becomes my absolute top priority. I know how deeply you love your dog and how tough it is to be away, so I will send plenty of photo and text updates to keep your mind at ease. I am highly experienced with long-term stays, respect your home completely, and will treat your dogs with the same deep affection that I give my own. On weekdays I am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight house sitting starting at 4:30 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, my calendar is wide open and I am available all day. When caring for your pet in your home, safety and respect for your space are my highest priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, feeding schedules, and household rules to keep things consistent and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are always securely locked, and I keep a close eye on your pup during walks to ensure they are safe and comfortable. My goal is to leave your home exactly how I found it, while ensuring your dog feels completely safe, loved, and fully cared for until you return.

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!

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.

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.
