“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!”
“Charlie had a great first stay with Lipika. He was loved on and well taken care of while we were on vacation. We loved our daily videos and updates which put our minds at ease while we were away. He is a high anxiety little guy and Lipika was able to accommodate his special needs.”
“Norma is awesome!! She is so accommodating to your schedule, keeps you well informed with lots of pictures and status updates and clearly loves what she does! Baker made some great new friends and came home exhausted after his long weekend with Norma.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience. She was incredibly gracious and thoughtful, consistently sending us pictures and updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and love. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure we felt reassured the entire time. We are truly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“This by far has been the best Rover experience my dog Gucci is super anxious around people and SINDHU made him feel so welcome. I’m so blessed to I found her and her family. I will definitely use again. My flight was delayed. they even dropped Gucci off. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
“Bri was a great dog sitter! She was super responsive and took my dog in last minute notice. She sent pictures right away letting me know my dog was doing good from the beginning. She has kids, and she is very respectful of shy and anxious puppies with the kids, making sure they don’t overwhelm your dog and just made for a super easy hand off. Would always let Bri watch my puppy!”
“We took a trip to the west coast and could completely enjoy our time so far away knowing our little schnauzer was in the best of care with Leslie. Her warm and welcoming home environment makes it so adaptable for him and I can tell by the pics that she shares he is totally enjoying himself - even getting along with other pups. We highly recommend!”
“Jamie and her family are really great to work with. They treat our dog as their own and go out of their way to send pics and reassurances that our pup is doing well. So happy to have them close!”
“Jeanette was fantastic with accommodating special requests for our 13-week old puppy, Asher! She sent lots of pictures and videos, spent LOTS of time with him outdoors playing, and even helped work with him on bell training!”
“Jackson had a great time with Brenton, who has a wonderful pet friendly home with a great back yard. He was communicative during my travel with updates and photo’s and I plan to use Brenton again!”
“Where can I even begin, this was our first time boarding our pup and we were beyond nervous to leave him. Aunt Dana QUICKLY put those worries aside with the care and attention she gave our puppy. Outside of the AMAZING care she constantly sent updates and photos so we never had to wonder what our pup was doing. If anyone is looking for a sitter who takes dog care to the next level Aunt Dana is definitely the person for you I honestly wish I could leave a 10-star review.”
“Ms. Shawnon was absolutely amazing! She provided pictures and daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.”
“Diamond is such a phenomenal sitter! She had a birthday party for one of my pups complete with pictures, treats, gifts, and a party hat! I know my pups feel comfortable with her because when we arrive they run directly to the door with tails wagging and leashes dragging!”
“This was Bentley first rodeo with sitter. I explained to Allison that Bentley is not as friendly with other dogs. He becomes super fussy and wants to launch at them if they come near him. To my surprise he was a totally different dog with Allison and her fur babies. I am convinced she has the majic touch, lol. Seriously! Allison was super accommodating and made sure I was updated with pictures of my Bentley boy during his stay. I can’t say enough how grateful I am to have had that comfort of knowing he was cared for while I was away. Thank you again and again!”
“Great! Thanks so much for helping us take a spontaneous trip to visit with a family member in Charleston. This was clearly a loving and wonderful environment for our dog. Again, many thanks.”
“Cynthia went above and beyond my expectation of a boarder. She sent pictures of my dog enjoying himself with her family members. My dog is extremely nervous and I saw her bring out a calmness I’ve never seen before with anyone. She is 10 in my book❤️”
“Winnie had a great time at Mari’s and even though she is all puppy- she seemed to acclimate and be right at home when I went to pick her up!! I was impressed by Mari’s patience and understanding since having a 7mo old lab is ALOT!! I hope to use her 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 :)”
“Sandra was absolutely amazing with our dog, Rio From the moment we met her, we knew our pup would be in great hands. She followed all our instructions perfectly, gave us regular updates with photos, and went above and beyond to make sure Rio was happy and comfortable. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Sandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”

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.
