“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.”
“Left my Maisey with Lipika and her family for a whole week and they really made her feel comfy and welcome the whole time. As for myself, I did not feel anxious or worried about Maisey during my trip as I got frequent photo/video updates as well as assurances from Lipika on how she was doing. My flight back was delayed by half a day and they were flexible and understanding with me about that as well. Would highly recommend and will not be hesitating to book again. Thank you!!”
“Kayla and her husband took great care of Fannie while I was gone, they sent lots of pictures and updates and it made me feel very comfortable leaving her with them. Fannie came back happy and exhausted from all the playing she got :)”
“Jeanette was awesome. She made Rocky and I feel comfortable from the moment we pulled up to her house. She is definitely a well prepared and knowledgeable dog sitter. She also sends plenty of pictures. Rocky can’t wait to visit again.”
“Asher has been with Anamika twice now. Asher knew where we were as soon as we pulled into her driveway. He got out of the car and got the zombies. It was obvious by his tail wags how happy he was to be back! Anamika and her family make sure to take care of Asher just as they would their own doodle. I can go out of town and know for sure he’s being loved the way we would. There’s no one else I’d trust to take care of him while we’re away!”
“My first time using Rover and I was able to book a stay with Hope. She was very sweet and made sure to check in with my pictures and videos. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much!”
“Henry had a good stay at Norma’s and although he really does not like to be away from us he seemed to be fine when we picked him up and also later when we got him home; he fell back into his routine very quickly. Norma is very knowledgeable about dogs and made several suggestions during our meet and greet that made the transitions and stay that much easier. We will use Norma again when we need daycare or short term boarding.”
“Bri was amazing! She and her family welcomed my dog with open arms and treated him well. I appreciated Bri's consistent communication and photos throughout his stay and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“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.”
“Where do I even begin? Brittany was absolutely amazing. From the moment she met Nyla, it was clear there was a natural connection. She was so tender and caring, and always kept us in the loop with updates. I could tell Nyla genuinely enjoyed her time with her. Definitely a 10/10 experience — we’ll absolutely be booking again in the near future!”
“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 :)”
“Dana is the best! We had to go out of town last minute for a couple of nights and she happily watched our dog without question. She sent multiple updates each day and even gave him new toys to play with while he was there. He was a happy boy when we picked him up!”
“We got pictures of our baby every day and we are pretty sure if he could talk he would tell us he was well cared for by Dawn and Steve. Thanks for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“My poodle is a nervous little dude. Coming home from a kennel he seems almost traumatized, whereas coming home from Leslie’s he settles back to “normal” very quickly. Second only to his own home.”
“Allison is amazing! She sent lots of updates, asked all the right questions and my Chloe came back very happy. She’s the best person I’ve found on Rover and I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Cynthia and her family are amazing! She has boarded our pup for multiple days at a time and Yadi always comes home so ready to nap and cuddle! We’ve used Cynthia several times and look forward to brining Yadi back!”
“My fur baby was right at home. Aquisha was awesome and made me feel very comfortable with leaving Zeus with her. i didn’t worry about him one bit and she sent me pictures daily.”
“Samantha was great. My dog Max suffers from anxiety and I was very worried about him. He was anxious the first night but Samantha was patient and calmed him (and me 😀) down. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about him the entire time. She is going to be my go-to dog sitter from now on.”
“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!”

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.
94% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
