“Britnie was amazing! I was super nervous about leaving my fur baby and she eased my mind so much. She sent so many updates, cute pictures, and communicated so well. She definitely spoiled her and gave her all the love while I was away. Super thankful for her help!”

“Kristen is one of the easiest people to work with! Posted stay last minute and Kristen was able to deliver great care on such short notice. It is truly a blessing being able to get away knowing my pups were loved just like I love them.”

“Marcy did amazing with Theo. It was my first time leaving her outside of our family and my mind was completely at ease. Marcy sent updates and photos regularly which was fantastic! I returned home, tired and jet lagged, to a happy, healthy dog and a tidy house. I will be HIGHLY recommending her and will definitely have her return in the future.”

About: Animals bring joy to the world 💜 I always enjoy having new animals stay. Socialization is important for dogs and my family does a great job to insure everyone is comfortable and in good spirits. Dogs are gifts to people in my opinion. I give back by welcoming them in the home. 🤍 I work at a Veterinarian Clinic, my schedule can vary but I will always do my best to accommodate your animals needs. I can be flexible for boarding. I have a fenced in back yard. I am located right on the lake so I always take my dogs for walks, and golf cart runs by the lake. I have two dogs and two cats at home. They get along really well with all critters.

“Amanda was great with our three Husky’s. They are all blowing their coats and she did a great job keeping up with the flying fur. Our dogs were so calm and relaxed when we got home, she did a great job of keeping me updated and I didn’t have to worry about whether or not they were well cared for during our vacation!”


About: I have taken care of dogs ever since my 20's but the last 13 years I have been house/dog sitting for the members of the congregation were I was paid staff. I absolutely love animals but dogs are my favorite. I have extensive experience with any breed from puppy to geriatric dogs. My goal is eventually to do boarding as well. I would love to come stay with your pet baby and love on him/her while you are away. I believe in spending time with the pets. I promise you I will become your pets best friend second only to you. Getting them some exercise every day if possible and lot's of cuddle's at night. I prefer clients with fenced in yards. I am currently not working so I will be with your pets through out the day. Recently my daily schedule has opened up so I would be with your pets full time. If you dogs like to ride in the car I would take them on errands with me. Really there are no obstacles for me to be able to be with you pets full time. I am looking for full time remote work from home work though. Then I can still do dog sitting at the owners home or my home while I'm working. The first thing I do when I get up around 8 or 9 is let your dog outside if it's a fenced in yard a walk if it's not. Then I feed them per whatever instructions you have left. In the afternoon we go out again for some play time and potty break. I usually will let the dogs out an hour after they eat and every 4 hours a day, For cats, I feed them first thing. Keep their litter box cleaned daily or every other day and depending on the cat's acceptance of me or their personality we will have play time and cuddles too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Harrisburg. 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 New Harrisburg 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 New Harrisburg 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 New Harrisburg 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
