“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Leslie. She has a great fenced in yard for dogs to roam, run and explore. We would absolutely feel comfortable leaving our girl with Leslie again in the future.”
“Allison is amazing taking care of my Teddy. I now consistently make plans only if Allison is has time to sit Teddy. She has been a great support overall.”
“Ms. Jean was such an AMAZING sitter, I absolutely loved her. She had everything prepped for my Harlowe, was very attentive, very responsive, and sent cute photo updates! You won’t regret it, I sure did not. Harlowe was sooo happy when I picked him up. Oh, and little Quincy was a very good host as well lol ?”
“Cynthia did a great job. She responded to my booking request quickly, sent pictures as updates, and always had another dog there for mine to play with, which was nice. My dog was very happy upon pickup, in the kind of way that he had fun.”
About: We’ve both loved animals since childhood, and for nearly 15 years, we had the privilege of caring for two rescue dogs we brought home from Korea. Over the years, we cared for them through surgeries, illnesses, and their senior years. They had very different personalities and needs, and we learned how important it is to understand each dog and care for them as individuals - with patience, attention, and plenty of love. We’ve since said goodbye to both of our beloved dogs after long, happy lives. While we aren’t quite ready to adopt again, we miss having dogs around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. We offer a calm, comfortable home where your dog will be treated like one of our own. We also only board dogs from one household at a time, allowing us to give your pets our full attention without the stress of unfamiliar dogs sharing their space. We’d love to welcome your dogs into our home and give them the same patience, affection, and personalized care we gave our own. Our routine allows us to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout your dog’s stay. One of us works from home and is here nearly all day during the week, so your dog will have someone around for most of the day. We keep a comfortable, relaxed routine with regular opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. We’re also attentive to each dog’s individual schedule and will do our best to maintain the routines they’re accustomed to at home. On weekends, we have a few occasional commitments, but we plan our schedule carefully and will never leave your dog alone for more than about three hours at a time on the days or evenings when we’re away. Our goal is to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time safely, along with a comfortable home environment where they can relax and settle into their own routine. We also have a crate available for dogs who are comfortable being crated or whose owners prefer that arrangement. When we need to leave the house, we have a dedicated, small space that is free of potential hazards where your dog can stay safely and comfortably until we return. We understand that every dog is different, so we’ll follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, sleeping arrangements, and other care needs.
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart! I was the proud dog mom of my beloved Vizsla, Hunter, for nearly 13 years. He was more than a pet—he was family. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, affection, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your furry family member. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, a senior who enjoys a slower pace, or a cuddle bug who just wants to relax on the couch, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure. At Home Away From Home Pups Parlor, your dog isn’t just another booking. They’re a special guest who deserves individual attention, affection, and a wonderful experience while you’re away! I currently work part time from home. I am able to be your pets Au Pair while you are away. I can focus on them all day! Welcome to Home Away From Home Pups Parlor, located in Charlotte’s University area! My home offers a warm, comfortable, and dog-friendly environment where your pup can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised playtime, fresh air, and exercise. Inside, pups are welcome to relax, lounge, and yes—even curl up on the furniture! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and preferences. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and daily care to keep your pup’s routine as familiar as possible. Safety is always a priority. I’ll provide attentive supervision, fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being cared for. My goal is simple: You enjoy your time away, and your pup enjoys theirs! 🐾
“Rogelio has been to Ms Carols before. He ran into her house just so comfortable. Ms Carol is very responsive and does share all the pictures throughout his stay. Her home is so welcoming and would definitely be going back to her.”
“I want to thank Christal from the bottom of heart for providing Jack with a great environment and lots of love and attention. We all know that when it comes to our pets, we want only the very best. Christal proved to be just that. I cannot wait to use her again.”
“Dennise was absolutely the BEST! She made my fur baby feel right at home while I was out of the country for a week. She even kept her for a few days of doggy daycare before my trip, which helped them bond and gave me so much peace of mind. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which really eased my anxiety about being away for so long. I honestly think my dog thinks this is her second home! I highly recommend Dennise, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Margaret was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the stay and was flexible with the drop off and pick up times! She was so friendly and easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking with her again! My pup loved her as well!”
“Great experience! Tyeriah kept my very energetic JRT for 3 days while I was on vacation. She was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures and texts with updates. He was exercised and cuddled and shown lots of love until we returned.”
“Monica and her family took care of Loki like he was their own pet. They paid attention to every little detail, kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, and made sure we always knew how he was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Loki was in such safe and caring hands. We really appreciate how well they looked after him and would definitely recommend Monica!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Harrisburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Harrisburg home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Harrisburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Harrisburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
