I quite literally could not say enough wonderful things about my experience using Kristen to housesit for me and my fur babies while I was out of town. I am so particular about who I let watch them when I am gone and she exceeded ALL expectations.

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.

Shane is awesome! He took great care of our 3 goldens and 4 cats. He was very good with Tank (our high maintenance dog) and was able to keep him calm and happy. We got daily photos and updates. I never worried. Shane is trustworthy and dependable. I think the dogs were upset when we got home as they were hoping it was Shane. Thank you for taking good care of everyone while we were away. We will always look to book Shane for our pet sitting needs.

Jasmin is a dream pet sitter. She took excellent care of our pups and was extremely courteous and respectful staying in our house, helping out in various ways. You can tell how much she loves dogs and that she is a kind and thoughtful person. There is no question we will book with her again if she is available but I worry she will quickly become the most popular pet sitter on Rover.

About: Animals have been a constant in my life, and over the years I've owned dogs, cats, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even hatched eggs via an incubator. That kind of variety builds real hands-on experience, a calm comfort around all breeds and temperaments, and a deep respect for the responsibility of caring for another living thing. What animals want most is attention, and that's something I have no shortage of. Your pet won't just be watched — they'll be engaged, cared for, and treated like family. Whether it's a walk, a feeding, or house sitting, you can count on me to show up and give your pet exactly what they need. My schedule is flexible and I can almost always make time — just reach out ahead of time. I'll follow any special instructions, respect off-limit rooms, and stick to whatever routine works best for your pet. My schedules pretty much open I could always make time if need be. As long as it's scheduled ahead of time my schedule is opened. I would care for their pets just as they would. Any special instructions of course I would follow. Any rooms that are off limits, limit the outside time etc

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’m new to Rover, but I bring a lifetime of hands-on animal care experience. I currently care for and walk my two dogs daily, and I’ve also provided trusted dog sitting for many friends and family. Growing up on a farm and participating in 4-H taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog with the same level of respect and affection as my own. I currently work two part-time jobs and am saving to put myself through college. I’m available for walks anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with flexible availability on other days as well. Feel free to message me to discuss scheduling—I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your needs! I care for every pet as if they were my own, following their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the space clean and provide updates so owners feel at ease. My goal is to create a safe, reliable, and loving environment where every pet feels happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with 5 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking through multiple companies. Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I grew up helping care for and train my uncle’s service dogs, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I also have a lot of experience with puppies and dogs that need extra care because I volunteer at an animal shelter. Through my experience I have gotten to know so many breeds and their special personalities, unique abilities, and where they may need some extra care. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s long walks, playtime, keeping them company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a fun hobby, I also make homemade dog treats, so you can safely say I’m a little obsessed with dogs🥰 I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and personality to make the experience stress free for both of you! I am a college student so I have a lot of availability. My classes are mid day and only 2 hrs long. I only have class 2 days a week. In the summer and over winter break I have full availability. I feed them the recommended amount, give lots of cuddles, walks and all the love! I give them my full attention and follow the owners instructions.

Great stay for our dog. Arya sent lots of videos and reassured us all was good. As a trainer, he also worked with areas of need with our dog - which was a bonus!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Harrisburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 168 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.
