“Anamika, thank you for making Nandi a part of your family during her brief stay. This was our first time using Rover and you made everything so easy. We appreciated the extra care you took in making sure Nandi adjusted to being away from home. She loved all the petting and attention from your kid and Hazel. We will certainly contact you for future sitting opportunities. Thank a bunch, Fred”
“This was the first time we used Rover and Leslie. Everything went very smoothly for our 10-day trip. Leslie was very responsive, and Charlie was well cared for. We would use Rover and Leslie again.”
“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 :)”
“Dawn and Steve are true life savers, they are amazing with my little one and send me loads of pictures and videos daily keeping me updated. My puppy is also a lil more behaved since she been with them. I recommend them to anyone in the Charlotte area they are truly the best!!!!”

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.
“Jayda was great with our little girl! She was so happy when we picked her up. I appreciate her responsiveness and attention to detail. I was also grateful for all the pictures and video that she sent us during the stay. It really put me at ease since it was our first time using Rover. We will definitely come back again.”
“So happy we found Erika!!! She’s great!! This day was an introduction before a longer stay and I’m 100% satisfied that my Tibby is in great hands and will be well cared for when she is with Erika!!!”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“Marley loves to stay with Stacey. Everytime i pick him up.. he’s out of breath lol, he goes straight to sleep when we arrive home! I have no problem dropping him off with her.”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“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.”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter. She was caring, attentive to our dogs’ needs, and great with communication. We would definitely have her take care of our fur babies again!”
“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.”
“Dayana is so kind. My dog was super comfy w her. She Sends plenty of updates. Great energy from the moment we met at the meet and greet. She was very responsive as my request was very last minute. I will definitely board my dog with her next time I travel!”
“I had an excellent experience with Karina. I had to go out for 3 days and she provided exceptional care for my dog, ensuring he was happy throughout his stay. Karina kept me updated with photos everyday which was greatly reassuring. I will definitely revisit Karina in future. Thank you for everything!”
“Bozena made my family trip a breeze! My dog is gets stressed when we go on trips without him and we have had bad stays in the past. But Bozena made him feel right at home! Needless to say, if you want to put your Dog is good hands. You are in the right place. :)”
“Dennise watched Stormie with quick notice. She was kind and accommodating. She was responsive during the time Stormie was boarded and she provided me with pictures and updates to keep my mind at ease. Even when Stormie had a few accidents, she continued to provide the best quality care. Her assistance was much appreciated!”
“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Tyra did an excellent job taking care of my extremely spoiled Frenchie! She treated my dog as if she were her own and made sure she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout her stay. Tyra provided plenty of updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to know exactly how my dog was doing while I was away. I truly appreciated the care, attention, and communication. I would definitely trust Tyra with my Frenchie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Harrisburg is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 2,379 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 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.
