“Tamara was great with my dog Sully while I went out of town for a week! She kept me updated with pictures and how he was doing each day. He can sometimes be a little shy in new places but he seemed to fit right in :) thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog parent with hands-on experience in both everyday care and behavior support. I’ve supervised a therapy dog program and completed training in dog behavior and obedience. I know the importance of consistency, and will follow your lead. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or gentle guidance, I bring a calm, compassionate approach rooted in both experience and a deep love for dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I am a mom of two and with the exception of occassional appointments and errands I’m home 7 days a week. Making it easy for me to adapt to the needs of a visiting furry friend. I have a fence in yard and and older dog friend to keep yours company. Although he won’t be able to keep up with your pup running, he does enjoy hanging out on the couch with new friends while he watches TV. As I said before it's important to me to remain consistent with your expectations for your dog. This includes safety.
“I recently adopted my dog, and the previous owner recommended Rebecca. When we arrived, it was obvious that my dog remembered Rebecca and her pets and enjoyed their company. I felt very comfortable leaving Roxy with her. I would use her again.”
“They kept us regularly updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were also incredibly accommodating when we were delayed picking up our pet due to heavy New York traffic. We really appreciated their flexibility and care.”
“Yvonne and Gemma were incredible with our pup. She sent tons a photos and treated Danner so well that he was sad to come home! We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Sarah is an amazing dog sitter! She will give your dog love and the very best care you could ask for. I feel great about leaving my dog with her and my dog comes home so happy.”
“Desire took amazing care of our dog Sammy while we were away! He warmed up to her quickly. She clearly loves what she does and spends tons of time with the dogs to make sure they're happy. She also sent plenty of pictures and videos of him. We would absolutely rebook with her!”
“Our dog Milo was treated like a member of the family. We were very happy boarding him with Heather. She was flexible with rimes and even was able to board him an extra due to us having travel issues. Will use her again.”
“We don’t know where to start. ❤️ We chose Nicole through rover to take care of our 11 month old Maltipoo Benjamin while our family went on vacation. We can honestly say that Benjamin had as much fun at Nicole’s as we did on our vacation… or even more. She kept us updated through pictures and videos and our kids who haven’t met Nicole became huge fans of how she takes care of Benji. We highly recommend Nicole to whoever is looking for a dog sitter. She truly cared for Benji and most importantly, knew how to make us comfortable while away from our dearest puppy. Thank you Nicole and family for your love and care.”
“Poe loved Tiffany as soon as they met which made me feel good. He greeted her both at the first meeting and at drop off with kisses. She provided many great photos and updates while I was away. This was my first sitter experience and time away from Poe with someone not related watching him. I would recommend her and use her again.”
“Samantha is excellent to work with- couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She frequently gave updates and pictures which I loved! We will absolutely be boarding with her again!”
“Caitlin is great! I knew my girl would be in good hands during the meet and greet. She provided updates throughout the entire stay. I was completely at ease, not one worry. Reese loves her!”
“Jessica was an absolute delight to board my girls with! I was sent pictures and they looked right at home😍 I will definitely be boarding again if the need ever comes up!”
“Jacqueline was great! She walked my dog immediately when he arrived and was able to get him to acclimate to new surroundings quickly. She sent pictures and updates during his stay. I felt at ease and my dog didn’t seem to want to leave when I picked him up!”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve developed an understanding of their needs, behaviors, and routines. I also have experience babysitting dogs, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing a comforting presence. From high energy dogs or independent cats, I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for in your absence ❤️ My schedule is currently flexible, so I’m happy to work with your preferred times. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to make it work! I live in a pet friendly apartment very close to the susquehanna, so I make sure pets get plenty of walks around city island, bathroom breaks, and playtime both indoors and outdoors to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your routines closely to help them feel safe.

Harrisburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
I think our two pups may have had a better vacation at Kayla's than we did in Italy! Kayla provided regular updates on how they were doing during their boarding and promptly answered any questions we had. When we need to board our pups again, we will check with Kayla for availability first. Thanks for taking care of our girls while we were away!!
Emily and her family took care of our dog Ava like she was a part of their family. I really appreciated the pictures and updates I received from Emily throughout the week. I was worried about leaving our Ava for a week, but Emily’s updates really put my mind at ease. I know Ava enjoyed herself during her stay and she had plenty of walks and outdoor time in their fenced in yard. I will definitely rebook with this lovely family again!
Madison was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for our pup, Willow! She cared for Willow for four days, and when we picked her up, she couldn’t stop smiling! It was clear that she had a wonderful time. Madison is kind, reliable, and so thoughtful—she kept us updated throughout Willow’s stay with sweet surprise photos that truly made our day. Seeing Willow having fun and playing with Nala was such a joy, especially knowing she doesn’t always get that kind of energy release at home. We also really appreciated Madison’s flexibility when our plans unexpectedly changed, delaying our pick-up time. She was incredibly understanding and accommodating, which made all the difference. Madison, thank you so much for taking such great care of Willow! If you’d have us, we’d love for you to watch her again in the future! 10 paws up 🐾 from Willow lol
Lauren puppy sat for me recently and my little guy seemed to have a great time. We ran into her on a doggy walk about a week later and he ran right to her even though he's pretty nervous around people. She watched him for an over night stay, meet and greet was good and pick up all went smooth. Great communication and pics were sent throughout the day.
