“Christina was awesome with Ares & Bia! She followed all the “instructions” I gave her for my 2 needy babies and I could tell when I got back that they were well taken care of and loved!”

“Natalie is FANTASTIC! We have booked with Natalie multiple times but this last one was a very long 11-night stay in our home, with our animals. She was really amazing and our kids loved their time with her. The daily updates and pictures were a huge bonus and gave us such a peaceful state of mind. Knowing our fur babies were doing so well allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every aspect of our vacation, entirely without worry. Aside from their care, there was added relief in knowing our home was also safe and secure. When we returned home, everything was clean and in order, leaving us to merely resume life as usual.”

About: I grew up in a house, and with a mother, who always had a furry friend running around. I enjoyed this so much that I started a pet sitting company when I was 10. I cared for all types of animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). Although my 10 year old company did not continue until today, my love for animals does. I’ve fostered and watched animals and am hoping to continue to work with whatever pets and furry friends you have in your home. As a middle school teacher, the summer break strongly contrasts the school year. During the summer I am free at almost all hours of the day and am more than willing to work with you at a convenient time for both you and your pet. I am comfortable walking and crating your pet. I’m also happy to take your pet out whether it’s in the yard or along the streets and sidewalks nearby. I also have a car and am happy to take any dogs to the dog park (as long as they don’t mind a car ride).
“Noah was an amazing dog sitter. Such a nice guy, he kept us informed of our two pups well being. He was able to stay with our pups during the night. As most of us are aware pups are needy like five year old children. Noah took care of their needs perfectly send photo updates. I think the dogs actually missed him when he left. We would definitely hire him again. Five stars.”

“Ryan was great! My puppy Clyde loved the visit as he got a walk and plenty of attention. Ryan sent photos throughout the day and we were happy with the visit. Will definitely be booking Ryan in the near future. Thanks Ryan!”

About: Growing up, my nuclear family cared for roughly thirty cats, both indoor and outdoor. Naturally, part of my daily routine was feeding them all before getting on the school bus, keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas tidy throughout the day, and of course providing AMPLE love to all.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harvey
Chloe was phenomenal. My boys are two big and rowdy Dalmatians and I was worried. Chloe reassured me and was willing to do a meet and greet AND come back for night time medicine. She sent us sooo many pictures and made me feel great about leaving my boys. Will definitely call her again! Thank you Chloe!!!

Aidan was an awesome pet sitter! He stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our dog, Buddy. He followed all of our directions, sent us lots of pictures while we were away and kept the house clean, which is always a plus. We highly recommend Aidan for any of your pet sitting needs!

Maggie was wonderful. She arrived on early to meet the girls and they were instantly attached. She made it easier for me to leave knowing they were in good hands. Throughout the evening she kept me updated with text and pictures. The pups looked like they got plenty of snuggles and treats. When she left, the house was tidy and exactly like I left it. I highly recommend Maggie and look forward to having her watch my girls again.

I've been using Rover for years and Lindsey is one of the best sitters my husband and I have had! Warm, communicative, professional. Sent us photos, videos and updates daily. Took great care of our home and two cats. And even stayed an extra day when our flight home was delayed. Highly recommend!!

Samantha did a lovely job watching our two boys for us while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was in great shape when we got back and the boys were very well cared for. I would highly recommend Samantha for any pet sitting needs!

Goes above and beyond you can tell she truly cares. Treated my dog like he was her own.Very intuitive with dog behavior. Moved shoes to keep the dog from eating them, this was very much appreciated. Worked with him and trained him while we were away. Made sure to include physical and mental stimulation. Gave insightful and reassuring updates it was my first time leaving him for this amount of time could not have had a better experience she’s amazing with him and an amazing sitter very professional and sweet.

I trust Daphne so much with my pups. The girls love her and we use her over and over when I have to travel. Dixie now has a medical condition and needs a little more tlc with meds and such - Daphne so mindful and considerate to accommodate however needed to make her comfortable. Can’t recommend her enough.

Lucy is sooooo good with Jolly and Jasper. Jolly literally sleeps at her feet and gets so excited when she comes over to hang with him. You can tell she knows how to love and care for all animals through her caring personality and I will definitely booking my girl again!

Cole did a great job pet sitting for our two pups. One is very high energy, which was no trouble for Cole. The other is diabetic and needs insulin. Cole didn't have previous injection experience but was willing to learn and up to the task. We came home to two happy and healthy dogs and would definitely use Cole again.

We had a great experience with Mackenzie! She communicated throughout the stay, left the house clean, and took such good care of my dog. She even treated him to a pup cup, his favorite. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Harvey is $65 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $89 per night. 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 770 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harvey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Harvey 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 Harvey 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 Harvey 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
