“I can’t say enough great things about how well Ashley takes care of my Doggo’s. They really enjoy having her here. She is always sending photo updates and keeping me posted. Also, she leaves the house looking spotless. Amazing!”
“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!”
“Heidi did an excellent job with our poodle puppy while we went to an event. Communication was great and I felt I could trust her in our home. Will definitely be utilizing her services 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!!!!!”
“Bailey was the sweetest thing and we were very grateful she could accommodate us through the weekend. She was very responsive every time we reached out via text and we appreciate her meeting us in advance to introduce the pups to her.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and now have one 16 year old cat (who has been around dogs his whole life), an 8 year old mini Aussie, and a 7 year old healer/aussie mix. All of my fur babies get along with other animals and we love to play. A tired pup is a happy pup! I typically work 8-4 but have flexibility. I have a fully fenced, large backyard so I prefer animals to come to my place but I’m also willing to go check in on or walk pets at other locations. My dogs have a gotten use to not having a schedule so they are very adaptable to other pets schedule needs. I live alone so I will be very involved and attentive.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 10. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as puppy care! I also have experience with training. Puppies have a special place in my heart, and I don’t think I would ever turn down watching a puppy!!! I currently work from home, so I am just hanging out with my dogs all day and taking them outside, so I thought why not have some more dogs come hangout with us! I have my own two dogs that are super sweet and friendly, and would love some more friends to play with! I take them out every 2 hours if not more and we go on walks or play in the field!
About: I have always had dogs! I have one 3 year old goldendoodle who loves friends! We would love to share time and toys with your baby! I work Monday - Friday 6 mins from my home. I can come home for potty breaks as needed. I am home on the weekends. This is a dog's world, I just live in it! I am all about meeting their needs. My dog, Missy Lou, will be with me, and we would love be with your furry friends where it is most comfortable for them.
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.
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!
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
“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: Hi folks! I am new to Rover, but I am a big time animal lover, and sadly I cannot have my own pets at the moment, so I'd love to dote on yours! I have professional experience working with large and small dogs at a board, train, and daycare center where I was certified in canine CPR. I have also raised several of my own pups including one labrador, 3 Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and a Beagle, and have provided pet sitting for many friends and family, including my sister's Great Dane and English Bulldog. I am also a horse lover, so rest assured that size doesn't scare me! I currently work remotely, which allows me to easily dog-sit during weekdays, and I am an active person who would enjoy providing walks and playtime for your pup. I work remotely which allows me to provide pet sitting during the weekdays as long as you have a stable internet connection! I am also available weekends. I am available to provide pet sitting in your home, and/or drop in dog-walking, play time, feeding, etc. I would love to pet and cuddle with the dogs who like it, and will adjust to your dogs unique needs!
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.
About: I have always had pets in my life. Whether it has been one of my own or one of my fur nephews and nieces, I’ve always had a pet to love! I do work full time Monday-Friday 9-5, but weekends are open! Between me and my fiancé, your baby will get lots of attention and love! 💕 We have one dog. His name is Bubba and he is a black lab/border collie mix. He is very good with other dogs! We’ve never had a problem with him. He hasn’t been around many cats in his life, but when he has been he just seems more curious than anything. We have a big fenced backyard! We allow pets on our furniture for all of the snuggles we can get! Right now, our friend’s dog Sis is staying with us. She is well behaved and minds her own. She’s good with other dogs. Just an old girl going blind and deaf and kind of just follows suit with Bubba and what he does and where he goes.
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Harrisville is $40
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 $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $98 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harrisville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
