“**Exceptional Dog Sitting Service!** I can't say enough good things about Kathy! From the moment we met her, I could tell she truly love and understand dogs. She took such wonderful care of my furry friend, making sure every need was met—timely walks, and cuddles to make Arlo feel right at home. I received updates, adorable photos, and even a little summary of how his day was going. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to watch your dog, I highly recommend Kathy”

“The kitties’ stay couldn’t have gone better. Chloe and Cooper were in good hands with Anton and his family. I received updates every evening complete with photos and a video. My Cooper even left Anton pet his belly, which was amazing 🤩. We would highly recommend Anton to anyone needing pet sitting.”

“Rosa and her daughters cared for my Luna like she was their own. Their home was clean and orderly and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. They sent lots of videos while I was away and Luna seemed to have a great time with them and was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I was in town for a camping trip and she was very flexible with drop off and pick-up and was consistent and responsive with communication. Will definitely use her again if I’m in the area.”
“Our dog, Kallie, had a wonderful time with Heather. She and her husband, Tony, were caring pet parents that made Kallie feel comfortable and like one of their family. They made us comfortable as well, keeping in contact with us and sending fun photos of Kallies visit. Thank you Heather and Tony for taking such good care of our dog and making it possible to fully enjoy our son's wedding day. Would not hesitate to book with Heather again and recommend her services if a loving pet sitter is needed.”

“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
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.
Samira is literally THE BEST!! She was so proactive in keeping me up to date on my doggie, and very flexible when I wanted to visit. We were in town for the holiday and I realized at the last minute that there was no way I could leave my baby in a kennel. Samira came to the rescue - she walked him every day and let me know how he was eating. Her dogs are so friendly and well-behaved: they got along like brothers! She’ll be our go to every time we’re in the area from now on.
We were very happy with Rosa and her family. From start to finish, they were very caring and sweet. Since it was our first experience, we loved it. Our pups were in the best hands. We highly recommend trusting Rosa, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much, Rosa and family! From Tina and Cooper 🐶🐶🫶🏻❤️

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Harrisburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harrisburg on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 438 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.
95% 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 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.
