“Dennise was great with my senior pup. Very patient and accommodating. Pretty Boy was very comfortable with her. We will definitely be back for another stay!”
“From the moment we dropped off Renzo and Lolo, we knew they were in a loving home. Thank you for treating them like family, keeping us updated with pictures, and going the extra mile to make sure Renzo was comfortable and eating. We are so grateful for the wonderful care and will absolutely book with you again!💚”
“Lipika was amazing!! We had great communication with her the entire time of our dog Lokis stay. In all the videos Loki was soooo happy running, playing, and going on walks. I know Loki already misses her friends she made there. Will definitely request Lipika services again!!🤗”
“Norma was awesome with Stella! You can tell she loves each and every dog she cares for. She sent daily pictures of Stella having a blast. I would highly recommend Norma and I know we will be using her for all our dog sitting needs!”
“We had an amazing experience with Kayla and family watching our Tate! From the moment we dropped Tate off, we knew he was in great hands. They truly treated him like he was their own—making sure he was well cared for, loved, and comfortable the entire time. What we appreciated most was the constant communication. They stayed in contact with us throughout our vacation and sent plenty of photos, which gave us a peace of mind. We will absolutely be bringing him back and using Kayla and family again. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, we highly recommend them!”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”
“I want to thank Jeanette for taking good care of Buster. He enjoyed himself so much, especially around other dogs that were his size, although he likes big dogs. Her dog care site was well organized and clean. All of the dogs had an open play area to just run, be free and play. One of the best out of the few I have booked with thus far. I plan on booking with Jeanette again in the near future.”
“Even after Leslie moved we decided to stay with her for boarding our dogs and I’m so glad we did! It’s a little longer of a drive for us but so worth it to keep the consistency and have someone who knows our dogs! The boys always have such a great time when they watch them!”
“I was so nervous leaving my Snoop with someone for the first time and Hope made things so much better. She sent pictures and messages the whole time! Snoop loved it I will definitely use her again if I need to!”
“Jamie was extremely flexible with dates when watching our pup. We ended up changing our plans midway through our trip, and she accommodated those changes. It made all the difference in our vacation. She provides regular updates with pictures and also gives the pups ample time to play. We will definitely request her again when we are going out of town.”
“Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)”
“Shawnon was a fantastic dog sitter! She took great care of my pup and sent lots of adorable photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“I had an excellent experience with Yuanbo! They took amazing care of my dog and kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated my dog like family. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry family member!”
“Jacob did an awesome job taking care of Bella while I was away. His experience with service dogs is definitely a plus! Bella felt right at home with him as well as his 3 dogs. She will definitely be coming back again real soon!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Allison is wonderful, she gave me updates along with pictures from when my dog got settled in, let me know he was doing good. Sent me updates in the morning, very happy I was recommend to her. Will definitely use her again.”
“Dana is amazing! She was so wonderful with my little pommy. She took such good care of her and made sure she had plenty of treats. She sent pictures to keep me well informed. I would highly recommend Dana!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harrisburg on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,392 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Harrisburg sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Harrisburg landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Harrisburg home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 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 .
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.
