“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Bethany and her family are wonderful! My dog spent a week with them and I could relax on my vacation knowing she was in the best care. Their big fenced in backyard is an added bonus. I would definitely recommend!”
“Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊”
“My dog had a fantastic time with Hasber. He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was also very flexible when I asked to extend the stay on short notice. She came home tired, which is not easy for an aussie!”
“I’m so impressed with Brandon! They took such great care of my geriatric dog, and I loved receiving pictures and updates throughout the day. They were so kind, great communicators, and most importantly, took amazing care of my girl. Brandon’s two dogs are also so sweet and playful and they seemed to get along really well with my slow potato dog. Brandon was also super accommodating when my plans changed last minute. I’m so thankful they were available to care for my old lady while I was away. I felt confident knowing she was in good hands!”
“Michele is absolutely wonderful with our Simba. It was such a relief knowing that our dog was in good hands when we were out of town. We are so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a caring trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again.”
“Sally allows us to have a worry free vacation. She always provides wonderful pictures of our boys playing and having fun. She is also in constant communication and responds promptly.”
“Rose was AMAZING! This was the first time I’ve ever dropped my pup off at someone’s house and I was so emotional about it. But she sent so many pictures and videos and made Athena so comfortable and happy at her house. Communication was fantastic before boarding and during. I honestly can’t praise her enough for everything she did. 10/10 recommend for your dogs needs!!”

“If you're looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, book Tianne! Monza is my whole world and Tianne made her feel so safe, happy, and right at home. The photo updates of her playing with the other pets and getting cozy by the fire were everything, it made my heart so warm knowing she was that loved and comfortable while I was away.💕 You can tell this is someone who genuinely adores animals. Thank you, Mrs. Tianne — we will definitely be booking with you again for anything Monza needs!”

“I was very nervous about boarding my dogs because 1. They’re anxious 2. I’m anxious and 3. They can be a little bratty but Sorillian put me immediately at ease! She and her fiancé were very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and obviously loves them. She sent me pictures every day. They will stay with her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
My 8 m.o. Bernedoodle was well-loved and cared for by Emma (and her dogs)! Emma was responsive and reliable throughout the process, and I felt exceptionally comfortable having her care for my puppy in her home. I will definitely reschedule with Emma in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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 OH 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.
