“Woody had the best time with Brian enjoying walks and many cuddles. We appreciated Brian’s careful questions before accepting Woody to make sure that they would be a good fit. Woody was happy from first arriving at Brian’s home and happy when it was time for pick up. Brian was a wonderful communicator giving us regular updates on Woody’s stay. We can’t say enough good things about Brian and his care!”
“Max is very excited to come stay with Rebecca. He always runs to greet her when we arrive. She is on point with sending us pictures of Max which is comforting when we are away from him. When I pick him up , he is happy and I can see he has been well cared for.”
“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”
About: I have been caring for family and friends pets for 8 years now and love the relationship I have built with all the animals. I have experienced with new kittens and senior cats. I also have experience with senior dogs and nervous dogs. I have kept pets in my house and the kids love them. Also I’ve done the occasional drop in as needed when friends go out of town or work late. I am currently a stay at home mom with my toddler which gives me the flexibility to come over and walk, play and watch your pets as needed. I always let the pets take the lead when first getting to know each other. We start in a small, comfortable and familiar space and then move to a large space, such as the yard before going out for walks if needed.
“I trust Tiffany with Basil; she makes sure she is very well taken care of and I never have to worry. Basil is always very happy during her visits with Tiffany and it shows.”
“Livy had the best time staying at their house! I got photos and videos everyday of my little peanut. I was so pleased with how she was cared for! I would happily send livy back.”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I had my reservations. I was more than pleased with my pet sitter. David was professional, communicative, punctual and very brave to take on my three beasts for a whole weekend. Not only did he care for them better than I do, I was able to leave them having the peace of mind that they were being well cared for in a loving home. David provided regular updates with how they were doing, but not too many to not enjoy my weekend of freedom! I would recommend David to anyone looking for a sitter. 10 out of 10 experience.”
“Jamie was great! Arthur was immediately comfortable with her family. She sent lots of updates and pictures. Daisy was a great playmate, I can always tell Arthur has had a good time when he comes home exhausted. I will definitely be booking with Jamie in the future!”
“Desire is amazing, she has a wonderful place and this is the first time I left Rosco with someone. Desire has been sending me regular updates with pictures and videos. Thank you very much for taking such a good care of him.”
“Jessica is seriously the best - we went away on a long trip and she watched over our dog as if he was her own. She sent us pictures and videos and I could tell my dog was well cared for. He's so calm when we pick him up now - he used to be frantic when he would go to the kennel, but he loves Jessica and hanging out at her house!!”
About: I have had several dogs and cats over the years. I love how they are always happy to see you and they love you unconditionally I'm pretty sure I will be a little lonely without my son. I hope to fill that space with some special pets I work full time day hours. I work 2 minutes down the street so I could check on them often and spend the evenings with them 😉 I love pets. I will treat them as if they were my own. My son is going to college in August and I will be an empty nester
About: I have owned a dog since I was 12 and I have always treated my dogs as though they were my best friend. Most recently I have the luxury to take my dogs to work since I own a business doing hair, photography and modeling. I decided to extend my love to babysitting dogs. I have fostered a puppy and fell in love with how I made a difference in such a short period. I have two daughters that bring friends home all the time which gives lots of personal interaction. My backyard is an oasis for any dog wishing to play in a pool or run wild in a fenced yard. Your dogs will be around people and have my mini-doodle to play with. Ideal Fit for My Home: I’m best suited for dogs who are comfortable in a home environment, enjoy being around people, and can settle calmly indoors. Because my home is social and interactive, I do best with dogs who are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs and people. To ensure the best experience for everyone, I require a meet & greet for all first-time stays. I work from home running my business, so dogs are always by my side and never left alone. They’re part of my day—greeting clients with affection, enjoying playtime in my fenced backyard oasis, and relaxing indoors as part of the family. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their comfort, routine, and happiness. I’m very attentive to dogs’ cues. If a dog signals they need to go out, wants attention, or needs reassurance, I respond promptly. I adjust care as needed so each dog feels safe, comfortable, and at ease in my home. For the safety of all pets and people in my home, I reserve the right to decline or discontinue care if a dog is not a safe or appropriate fit.
“Laura was great with our Baci! It was our first time having Laura and her family look after our dog. She sent pictures and videos throughout Baci’s stay. I appreciated her being in contact with me, it was a comfort to know Baci was enjoying her stay and being cared for so well. She certainly was exercised through play with new pup friends! I will definitely reach out to Laura for future stays.”
“Michelle watched Albert for the first time over the Labor Day weekend and he had a great time! She sent us videos and pictures and we could tell he was having fun and in good hands. We’ve already booked Michelle for another boarding and would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.
About: I've taken care of a few different types of dogs but mostly pitbulls. I love to play, if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. It'd be great to take them to a dog park with my pup or just out and about. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park or go for scenic walk and spend extra time outside if its nice. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out 9pm. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My experience with dogs started when I was just 4 years old, when my grandmother raised Cocker Spaniels. Growing up, I was also lucky enough to have dogs and cats of my own, which helped me develop a genuine love and understanding of animals. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I currently have a shelter dog mix of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, keep them happy and comfortable, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m currently looking to pursue this as a full time opportunity. So I am available all days and times that align with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have one dog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs.
“Sandy took great care of my puppy Ginger while we were out of town. She communicated with me throughout the boarding and sent lots of updates and photos. I would definitely use Sandy for boarding in the future and I recommend her to others.”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Harrisburg is $42
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
Deandra and Robert have been wonderful carers for our puppy. they send photos and updates frequently, work with Lucy on any issues we are might be having, and share helpful tips with us. lucy is always happy when we drop and pick her up. we feel comfortable knowing she is getting great care. highly recommend!
Angel was amazing with my sweet cuddles girl. Cuddles loves her and her fur baby Wallace is a sweet guy. My cuddles loved her time there. I felt so comfortable leaving Cuddles with Angel and will definitely be using her services again. Her entire yard is fenced in and is the perfect oasis for your fur baby to run around and play.
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 🐶🐶🫶🏻❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Harrisburg on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 454 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Harrisburg. About 95% of Harrisburg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
