“Maddy is knowledgeable, caring and very communicative. She was able to take our dog on short notice while were were dealing with come emergencies. She understands and is very experienced with dogs (and their humans) and left us feeling very at ease. I would definitely recommend reaching out to her for caring for your dog!!!”
“Claire is a master. She is so great with dogs. She is a trainer and a dog person through and through. I can't say enough about how helpful she was with indigo during our recent trip. She was fantastic. Easy to work with. The dog came back behaving better and looking better than she did when she went. I'm going to use Claire in the future to do some training as well. I highly encourage anybody to use Claire. But not so much that I can't get in with her anymore!”
“Joel and Crystal were great to work with and took good care of our dog, Bo. They sent me updates of my happy dog playing with his new friends and were reassuring that they could manage his anxiety. He did great! Would for sure book again.”
“Denise is kind and caring. She has taken great care of our little Terrier and always updated us as well while we were away. Thank you Denise! We so very much appreciate you!”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”
“Connie was wonderful with our kitty Expresso. It was a worry free experience. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages. I would definitely use her again for my cat sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“Susana was fabulous with Daisy! I received daily updates with a sweet photo of how she was doing including lots of walks and cuddling. Susana is well versed in dog behavior so she was able to comfortably have Daisy along with a couple of other dogs and monitor their behavior closely during her stay. Daisy was well cared for and seemed very happy during her stay. I would absolutely book Susana again!”
“Brittany was an excellent sitter. My dog Nova immediately liked her for her calm and warm energy and she enjoyed a very peaceful two days. Brittany was excellent with communication throughout the stay and was understanding of my last minute booking. As a fellow Rover sitter, I would highly recommend!”
“I could tell Duke had a great time at Diane’s, and she was flexible when the app was acting strange. Thanks so much for taking great care of my boy! Looking forward to next time!”
“Joe was communicative, sending us videos each day. Our puppy got some good socialization time with the other dogs. The very large fenced yard in a foresty area is perfect for the dogs to run and play in.”
“Riley had so much fun at Sabrina’s. I boarded him for 3 nights and 4 days. Sabrina sent me photos every day of Riley playing with the other dogs. Although he was happy to see me I think he is depressed that he is not playing with his buddies.”
“Julie is the absolute best. She took care of Caesar so much I almost get jealous. The daily pictures and all the extra spoiling he got. She’s our new favorite sitter. I was thousands of miles away and he felt so close with the updates she gives. We will definitely be back. She also accommodated the late flight pickup!”
“Excellent job boarding our Great Dane. They were communicative and did a great job anccomidating our senior dog. We will definitely use Dylan for future bookings.”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”
“Shelby is fantastic! Our furbaby was well loved and cared for during his overnight stay. Great communication and photos to share updates. We will reach out to book again in the futur. Thank you, Shelby!”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“I recently boarded my two small dogs with Ying for a long weekend. From the many pictures and videos sent to me from Ying, I could see that my dogs were well taken care of and they seemed happy. I would certainly use YING’s boarding services again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 341 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.
98% 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 OR 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.
