“Lynann has been great for our new puppy daycare needs. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. She sends updates to let us know how Hazel is doing and Hazel really seems to enjoy it there! She even ran to the door this morning like she was excited. It’s great to know our new addition is in good hands while we’re at work and can’t be with her.”
“She was very communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. When an issue arose, she handled it perfectly and communicated what happened and we established a plan for if it should come up again.”
About: Hi! I'd love to care for your dog, cat, or other pet on weekends (visits, sitting, walks, or boarding in my own home). Sitting or boarding on weekdays would work for me as well. (I can take your dog on my runs with me if you would like!) I have had pets stay at my home overnight, and also have stayed overnight at their home, whichever you prefer is fine by me! I have been caring for other families' dogs for about 15 years now, and if you would like, I can provide you with some references. I also grew up with cats and dogs in our home. I work remotely, so I will be home for most of the day, and will be available to play with your pet, take them for walks, potty breaks/etc. throughout the day. I have one medium sized dog crate I can provide if you would prefer to leave yours at home! I also have food and water bowls. We do have our own dog (the dog in my profile photo), who is very friendly and gets along with other dogs, cats, and people. She is extremely sweet and spends most of the day napping. We have the means and space to keep your pet separated from our dog if that is needed or desired.
“WOW!! JUST WOW!!! I read the reviews prior to booking and let me just say this… THE REVIEWS SERVE NO JUSTICE!!! He’s waaaaaaay better than even what all the reviews say! Bentley was soo loved on and happy I could see he was having fun and wasn’t even ready to leave I can’t wait for his next visit! Mr Stanley was a PERFECT sitter and I can’t thank him enough!”
“Allison was amazing, from her warm infectious smile to her caring nature toward my boys! I don't remember picking them up from previous sitters or daycares and they were as calm as today. There is no doubt that she has a way with my boys. Thank you for taking care of them as if they were your own!”
“Such an awesome experience from first contact to drop-off and pickup! Dennise is absolutely amazing - so helpful, caring, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. I won’t hesitate to book our little guy with her again. Highly recommend! Thank you so much, Dennise!”
“Maria has been our usual dog sitter for a few months now and Lincoln always has a great time there. She sends videos and pictures during every stay and he always looks like he's either cuddling with her or playing with the other dogs. You definitely feel safe knowing that your dog is under her care”
“This is our second time using JaXx, and it’s been great! Love the updates and the attention that she gives out little Yadi. We plan on making her part of the family! Highly recommend.”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Norma to care for your fur baby. You'll immediately feel at ease with her. She was so easy to work with on arrangements and superb with communication.”
About: I provide quality care for your fur babies day in and day out ☺️ I love animals and I volunteer at the local animal shelter. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! Thanks! 🐕🐈 I currently work from home💻, so I have all day to spend loving and caring for your pets 😁. We can go on walks or eat treats according to your schedule.🐶🐱 I’m super safe and cautious when I administer pet care. I keep a lookout and monitor behavior very closely. My home is safe and my backyard is closed in. I live in a smoke-free and child free household 🏡
About: I have lived with and cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments for all my life. Animal wellbeing is my #1 passion and I have volunteered with multiple animal welfare organizations, where I have provided love, care, and a sense of routine and safety for dogs & cats of all sizes, ages, & temperaments. This experience, coupled with my certification in pet first aid & CPR, ensure I can offer top-notch care for your fur babies...and leave tails wagging! I am a full-time dog walker/pet carer & am always happy to add new pets to my client list! Advance notice is appreciated, but I will also honor last-minute requests whenever possible. I am extremely cognizant of the trust clients place in their pet carers and always honor that trust. I follow the instructions you give for your pet's care and will always let you know immediately if there are any issues (pet won't eat, limps, etc.). In short, I care for your fur babies as if they were my own - and believe me, people tell me that if they were ever to be reincarnated, they would want to come back as one of my pets! At home, I have a fenced yard and two rescued, and very friendly, golden retrievers who love to make new friends. While my dogs have the run of the house and sleep in my bedroom, I also can easily crate or restrict your pet to a particular room, if you prefer.
“Makena is AMAZING! She took all three of my pups and it was their first time doing doggy daycare but I felt reassured with her check-ins and shared photos. The dogs came home tired and happy. I will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!!”
About: Since I was little I've had a love for animals and a dream to work with them. I've taken care of 40 dogs at once at the doggy daycare I worked at. I have solved severe situations such as dog fights and dogs with fleas. I've been many peoples go to pet sitter because of the affection and attention I give to all animals. Additionally, I have experience working with all different kinds of animals. At my childhood home we have a wide variety of pets that I've been taking care of my whole life. When you book with me, you are making sure your fur baby is in good hands. My main focus is to take care of your animals, I do work at a doggy/cat daycare 6 hours a day for three days a week. But I make sure your dog or cat is safe at home with everything they need before I leave for work! I live in an apartment so unfortunately for potty breaks and play time the pups will have to be leashed. I will meet requests for feeding (special food, feeding times). Also, I live near many walking trails great for taking your pets on walks. I am experienced in handling dogs when they get aggressive or worked up, and can solve those situations with respect and gentleness towards your pup.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Samantha was amazing! We booked with her last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She took great care of Enzo. We really appreciated her kindness and flexibility on such short notice. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again. Thank you so much!
I highly recommend Zori for anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog and treated him like her own. From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable knowing my baby was in good hands. She was attentive, loving, patient, and made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable the entire time. I truly appreciated the updates, pictures, and peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and Zori definitely exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely be using her again!
Parvathi was amazing! I needed a dog sitter on short notice, and she responded right away and happily accepted. She was friendly, communicative, and made sure to confirm my dog’s feeding, potty, and play routines. She also asked thoughtful questions to make sure my fur baby would be comfortable and well cared for. Her family was warm and welcoming, too, which made drop-off so easy. When I picked up my dog, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. I highly recommend Parvathi to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Harrisburg on Rover is $22.2 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Harrisburg commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,676 sitters in Harrisburg, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
