“We left pepino, our young high energy dog with Jaideep for a week. He did a great job taking care of pepino and keeping us updated regularly during our travels so we knew everything was going well. We would love to have Jaideep take care of pepino again in the future.”
“Teresa took great care of my fur baby while I was away for 7 days. I missed my puppy so much but Teresa was very good about sending pictures and updates. Would recommend using Teresa, and I will use her again to watch Toula.”
“A+ stay. Dana and Jon were very accommodating to myself and my puppy Dak, especially after getting home late due to traffic! We got frequent pictures and updates. It’s very apparent that Dak had a wonderful stay for an extended weekend. will be using again! Thanks !”
“Could not have been happier with Anton. My dog is shy and anxious, and Anton did a great job of both taking care of him and making sure that my dog felt safe and secure enough to socialize. We were provided updates and pictures (which were incredible). Also, when our flight was delayed, Anton was kind enough to watch my dog for a few extra hours. It made a stressful situation much easier to handle. My dog's bedding was even freshly washed when I picked him up. I would highly recommend boarding your pet with Anton. I will definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Flurry had an amazing time staying with Pam and Mike. She loved all the other dogs and they were so great sending pictures and even videos of her stay with them.”
“Steffany was so incredibly welcoming of myself and Tito. During our meet and greet, Tito got to meet their dog Padme and seemed to get along very well with her. Steffany said Tito had a really nice time playing with Padme and her son and enjoyed his stay. When he got home he took a long nap, so I have no doubt he was tired from a fun weekend. I will be using them again for future trips this year, thank you again!”
“Archie loves staying at Brian’s place. He has had several stays with Brian and I am always sent photos of my boy. I plan to rebook when he is available and when Archie needs a sitter !”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“Just picked up my baby boy from Laura’s house and we were thrilled with the level of care she provided. Her compassion, understanding, and love for fur babies is amazing. She sent videos and/or pics every day to keep us at ease. This was our second time working with her and there will definitely be a third. I highly recommend her.”
“Our dog Corbin had such a good time with Jessica! He came home super tired and clearly had fun over his 10 day stay. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing he was in good hands. She sent pictures which we really appreciated! We will definitely book again in the future.”
“Heather was wonderful! Abbie was well-cared for and very much at home with Heather and her daughter. Lots of fresh air and space on the property, plus other animals for Abbie to see- chickens, ducks, and kittens—she loved it! Heather was very responsive to texts and sent pictures of Abbie’s activities over the course of the weekend. I look forward to using Heather again and highly recommend her.”
“It was nice to go out of town and spend time with family and not have to worry about my dog. Judy treated my dog like family. She took him on walks and give him plenty of attention which he enjoys. She sent me photos during his stay which I appreciated. I would use her services again.”
“Cristy was great with my newly adopted young dog, Molly and was able to watch her last minute for 5 nights. She sent pictures and updates throughout the week and was very accommodating when unbeknownst to me, due to newly adopting Molly and not knowing her age, Molly went into heat. I appreciate Cristy very much!”
“Rodger was amazing with our geriatric Golden Retriever (14 years old!). Albus was kept in constant comfort and very much enjoyed spending time with Roger's older Golden, Bailey. I got regular photo and text updates throughout our trip. We will use Rodger againn!”
“Liz was outstanding - which feels like an understatement! She went above and beyond with care, attention, and love for my two dogs (including taking them to go see Christmas lights!). This was the first time I have ever left my dogs with someone other than my parents or best friend, which was very nerve-wracking at first. Liz was incredibly professional and responsible, which immediately dissuaded any concerns. She sent frequent updates with pictures, which showed both dogs happy, content, and loved. The next time I am in need of a sitter, I will be checking in with Liz to see what her availability is.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Yasminah was absolutely wonderful with our 6-month-old Cockapoo, Daisy! 🐶💗 She was kind, caring, patient, and very detail-oriented. She was very attentive to Daisy’s needs and easily adapted to her routine, making sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I really appreciated how communicative and responsive Yasminah was, and the photos she sent gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Daisy was playful, excited, and loved spending time with Yasminah and the kids! We would 100% book Yasminah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. 🐾💕
Emily was terrific. She took care wonderful care of our dog, Millie, including, but not limited to dispensing medication for her needs, walking, playing and interfacing with her. I will definitely try and use her in the future to take care of our dog. She promptly responded to questions I had and kept me up to date with how Millie was doing.
Heather and Evan are wonderful! This was the first time leaving my girl with anyone, and it was for a multiple day trip. Heather consistently and promptly provided updates throughout the trip which helped me actually be able to enjoy my vacation! I couldn’t be more thankful for them and will be using them again.
This was our second time booking with Sara & Tovia and we could not be happier with the care, attention and updates they provided. Our girl was so happy when she realized we were at their door at drop off which is always reassuring knowing she's in good hands. Cannot recommend them enough.
Nina did an amazing job watching my dog. She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I especially appreciated the photo updates—this was a huge plus and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Nina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Harrisburg is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 451 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 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.
97% of sitters in Harrisburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, 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 , 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 .
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 PA 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.
