“I’ve had Becky care for my dog several times now and he loves his visits. She treats my dog as if he was one of her own and shows him just as much love as I do. I will absolutely continue to use her for this service!”
“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.”
“Kayla did an excellent job looking after Sammie while I was away for the weekend. Our meet and greet went well, and Sammie immediately warmed up to her. I will keep Kayla on my list of sitters for the future!”
“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”
“Steffany and Juan were wonderful! Super easy to set up dropoff and pickup as well as they were able to watch our pup Rooney on short notice! They sent us lots of photos of Rooney playing with their pups too! We will be using them again!”
“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Sarah cared for our labradoodle and we would definitely recommend her! She communicated regularly, sent pictures and updates, ensured our pets were compatible before booking, and made us feel very comfortable that our girl was in great hands.”
“Tiffany immediately put us at ease. The attention she paid, not only to our needs, but the needs of our dog also. She kept us informed as to the activities she and Andy were doing, and sent numerous photos. He acted like he didn’t want to leave at the end of his stay.”
“This was my dogs first time being with a sitter and she made his stay wonderful! Stayed in communication with me and sent pics. I will deff be going with her again next time we need a sitter!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and sizes! Don’t worry too much about having everything prepared ahead of time! If you’re ever running late or your pet needs something specific, I’m more than happy to make a quick run to pick up their favorite snack, meal, or wet food. Just reimburse me if you’d like here and there, no worries at all! I’m always happy to help out and go the extra mile to make sure your pet has everything they need. ❤️ I’m patient, attentive, and will treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels happy, safe, and loved! Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and flexible pet lover who would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies! 🐾❤️ My schedule is especially flexible in the evenings, and I’m available any weekday after 4:30 PM. Weekends are also open and very flexible for me, making it easy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I also have a twin sister who shares my love for animals and has a flexible schedule. As my Rover bookings grow, I may have the option to coordinate with her when needed, depending on what each client is comfortable with. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving, and consistent care for every pet! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. There is always someone home, so your fur baby won’t be left alone for long periods of time.

“Jamie was very caring and compassionate dog caretaker. My 8 months old pup had a great time with Jamie and her dog Daisy. She is very timely about all the daily updates with pictures!! Will definitly use her service again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I provide a comfortable, attentive environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship.

I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while they’re here.
“We typically do drop-in visits but switched to boarding our boys with Sandy. Our boys couldn't have been more comfortable and well-cared for! Thank you for taking such good care of our boys, as always!”
“Laura and her family were so fantastic! Lani loved their backyard and a chance to play with Rusty. Laura took such wonderful care of her and sent us daily updates. We’re super grateful for her kindness and clear love for dogs!”
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.
“David was a wonderful caregiver to our dog. He was very responsive, flexible and provided daily updates with pictures while we were away. We were very pleased with his care.”
“Michelle took such good care of Fury for our long weekend away! He was quite a handful and she handled him so well and with such a great attitude. She gave him tons of play time, walks, and affection while she was home with him. She stayed in constant communication while we were gone and gave us regular updates, including pictures and video of their time together. Michelle is great and I’m sure our pup will miss 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.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Harrisburg is $40
Pet 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. 🐾💕
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Harrisburg on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of September 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 460 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.
