“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!”
“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!”

“Jamie was literally amazing! Zulu enjoyed her time THOROUGHLY! I got picture and text updates frequently on a daily basis and I think she even cut my dogs nails lol which if so was very thoughtful and highly appreciated! She came back a happy pup and also whined a little when Jamie left so we’ll definitely be returning clients! Love, Love, Loveee Jamie!”
“Carol was amazing with our Patsy Cline. She accommodated our early departure and sent lots of pictures. She definitely put me at ease about leaving our little girl. Will be using her again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t have asked for a better boarder for Luci. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in caring, capable, and loving hands. Luci can be a little quirky and sensitive, and her boarder truly took the time to understand her personality, routines, and comfort needs. Communication was excellent—I received updates that reassured me Luci was safe, happy, and well cared for. She came home relaxed, loved, and clearly treated like family, not just a dog being watched. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care, patience, and genuine affection shown to Luci. I would 100% recommend this boarder and will absolutely book again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🐶💕”
“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.”
“My normal sitter could not watch my babies due to a family emergency. After being in a tizzy I decided to try Rover. After reviewing several profiles I came across Allison. Although she lived a good distance she seemed to be a.good fit for them. No lie, I was nervous for I have never left them with no one I or them don't know. Well, I had the best experience ever. She sent pictures everyday and good ones at that. I'm a lil jealous I can only get a good one every once in a while. They looked happy and comfortable. Usually when I'm gone they don't eat which had me nervous. Allison stated at 1st they wouldn't but started too. My trip was only supposed to last a week but after a bunch of delays and break downs I ended up being gone for 2 1/2 weeks and Allison was able to accommodate my changes. She doesn't know how much that meant to me and ease the stress of what was going on. My babies felt so much love and attention that they act like they didn't miss me. I highly recommend Allison to anyone.”
“Many thanks to Brittany for taking care of Buster. He did well over the number of days spent with her and her family. I can tell he was well cared for because he was very perky when I came to pick him up. He ate all of his food, and Brittany made sure of that since he is on a strict diet. His items came back clean, and nothing was missing of which I appreciated that as well. I look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Sandra was absolutely amazing watching our fur baby, Bella while we were on Christmas vacation. This was our first time leaving Bella with anyone. She sent daily photos and videos of Bella which ensured us that Bella was doing fine, I highly recommend Sandra and will definitely be using her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Courtney took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My dog struggles with separation anxiety and often stops eating when I'm gone, but Courtney was incredibly patient and caring. She tried different ways to help my dog feel comfortable and was able to get her to eat, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She kept me updated throughout my trip and treated my dog with so much love and attention. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. I will definitely use her services again!
Tara was amazing! Her home was very welcoming and clean, and she took such great care of my fur baby Dash like he was her own. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent while I was away… it gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for someone loving and trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you again, Tara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harrisburg on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,389 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.
