About: I have trained and groomed my dog since he was a puppy, and we all know how dramatic Shibas can be. I approach all animals with love and patience in order to gain their trust, no matter the situation. I am incredibly affectionate so your pet will never feel out of place during their stay with me! I’m currently home at all times with my pet and would love to invite yours into our warm and loving home. I am able to provide meticulous and attentive round the clock care to your pet if they require. I reside in a dog friendly apartment complex with multiple parks for them to release extra energy. My baby, Kylo, will gladly keep them company or leave them alone, depending on their needs. Much like myself, he is very attentive. I also have a porch and a hammock that Kylo and I enjoy during warmer weather. If needed, I can easily crate your pet
“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 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!”
“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”
“Allison was AMAZING!! As if I wasn't already impressed with her reviews, our meet & greet confirmed that she will be our PERMANENT sitter for our fur baby Fendi!! He immediately clung to her, I loved the genuine heart she had for him as if he was her own. And on his vist visit with her HE ATE!! Which showed just how comfortable he was with her. She was very accommodating for a last minute sitting appointment which with our schedules is huge!! Thanks Allison!! We will see you again VERY soon!!”
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, 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.
About: My family has had birds, cats, dogs, fish, and rodents throughout my whole life. I used to foster kittens and puppies as well as walk and care for animals at my local animal shelter. While I have pets of my own, my job situation has changed and I’d like to spend my spare time helping other busy people make sure their pets get the love and care they need! My current job is flexible and includes working from home, so I can adapt my schedule to meet your and your pets’ needs (within reason of course). I’ve got a local dog park where I take my dog regularly, and love to go for long walks or just play with a dog in the yard and let them out to go potty if needed. I’m sensitive to pets needing extra care or medication as well. I also am happy to just come over and play with your dog/cat if they just need love and attention. I’m slightly more of a cat person, but I love both very much!
About: I was gifted a dog when I was younger that I grew up caring for up until she was older. Caring for her included washing, taking her to the groomers, and ensuring she had the best food and many toys to play with. At the end of the day, she was my dog and my responsibility to care for. I have always hung around pets due to my grandparents having dogs and my aunt & uncles owning cats & dogs. My friend has a cat that I will sometimes cat-sit when she is out of town. I currently am a student and have a mixture of online and in-person classes. So, when I am not at school I am studying, and I'm at home. I currently do not have any other job commitments at the moment. Caring for pets is essential for their well-being. I always ensure that my space brings a piece of comfort, safety, and playfulness. I will ensure they have plenty of potty breaks and walks to ensure no accidents and give them time to get their energy out before the night is over. If medication is needed, it is my essential duty to be on top of giving your pet the correct dose & at the correct time.
About: I was a proud Shih Tzu owner for many years until I had to say goodbye to my beloved companion a year ago. He was my little shadow, following me everywhere and making sure I never missed a daily walk. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog into my home permanently, I would love the opportunity to care for yours. As a former dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, companionship, and lots of affection. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and attentive experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time remotely from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I also work as a nurse 1–2 nights per week, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks based on each pet’s personality and energy level. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their preferences and routines. As a nurse, I am detail-oriented, dependable, and attentive to changes in behavior or health concerns. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they are away.
“I booked Nickeyias for doggy daycare and she took amazing care of my Bintley. He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day. I already scheduled his next visit — highly recommend!”
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.
“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”
“Megan treated my little dog like a member of her family. She sent me numerous pictures and I could see he was comfortable and calm. I have already booked a longer stay with her.”
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: -NO LATE SHOW UP/PICK UP OR FEE WILL BE ADDED (unless an emergency)- I respect your time, please respect mine 😊 Hi! I have had experience with different pets over the years. I have owned ferrets for over 8yrs, have pet sat for cats of different ages (from newborns to senior), as well as dogs (usually have sat for larger dogs), even birds!!. I have plenty of room inside and outside, i have a fenced yard and I’m home all the time so your babies will not lack the love and attention! :) I am assisted by my fiance Anthony, if that’s an issue please let me know! Please please make sure your pup’s items are clean and so are they! If they have a flea problem or they have poor hygiene, I will have to deny. This is for sanitation and safety of other pups staying with me. Schedule is updated daily please shoot me a text if you need more details or require help. Schedule changes week to week so please send request and will talk to you about availability (specifically for drop-ins) not applicable to boarding/doggy care Fully fenced yard, big full front yard, lots of space inside as well in case bad weather doesn’t let them run around outside.

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.

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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Harrisburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Harrisburg on Rover is $26.64 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,701 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 1,701 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.
