“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!”
“We couldn't be happier with Pam & Mike! Our Labrador, Gage, came home happy and exhausted after his week with them. I received regular photos and video updates from Pam while we were away, which was awesome! Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Rebecca took great care of Bella while I was away! She made time for a quick meet & greet before we solidified the arrangement too. She also sent pics of my dog enjoying her vacation. Thanks Rebecca!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I booked a stay for my dog, Fletch at the very last minutes and Brian had no problem with this. Brian lives right on the water and my pup got to go for walks on the beach almost daily. I was sent multiple pictures daily showing how much fun the dogs were having and how comfortable Fletch was in Brian's home! Highly recommend!”
“Desire was really great! She took great care of my sweet boy Ranger, very responsive and sent plenty of update, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I definitely recommend y’all book her. She is really great!”
“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: Grew up with dogs in the family. A collie and a husky. Currently have a beagle that is 6 years old. Had her since she was 9 weeks old. We walk every day. Care is a high consideration on very cold days as well as hot and humid summer afternoons. I don't work during the summer months. Have time to care for a pet for someone or a family who needs help so they can plan a vacation or time away. Or for those who have a demanding time schedule. I only have one pet, dog, in the house. A fenced in yard and a wireframe crate that is 2 feet x 3 feet and about 2 - 2.5 feet high.
“Kayla took great care of my dog! She sent many updates letting me know how my dog was doing and was quick to respond to me. Would for sure recommend her to a friend and book with her again!”
“Wow! Just picked up my pup and I couldn’t be happier! This was my first time leaving my dog with a pet sitter, and I would 100% leave my baby with Maria again! While being out of the country for a week and a half and with a 6 hour time difference, Maria was still able to make me feel at ease that Levi was in great hands. Maria shared so many photos and videos throughout the day, making me feel a lot better. Maria, her husband, and their adorable pup Toby made Levi feel at home and like he was a part of their family. He was definitely pampered and I think he felt like he was on a vacation of his own. Levi and Toby became fast friends! He was so gentle yet playful with my little 7 pound pup, I am sad separating them! So many walks and trips to the dog park, it rained for a few days and they still made sure to keep active and entertained inside as well. He was so comfortable with this entire family and I could not recommend them enough. I would definitely let my pet stay with them again, and I think he would be over the moon to go back! If you’re considering booking with Maria, do it!!!”
“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!”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“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.”
“Rodger and his wife were amazing! Super relaxed and flexible, they created a loving and safe environment for my dog, who has a lot of anxieties. We got clear and consistent updates and it was evident that Franklin was happy, relaxed and at ease, which was just amazing to see. Absolutely loved their service!”
“we had a wonderful experience leaving our puppy with Saveri! She was very caring, took excellent care of our dog, updated us on his care and sent us pictures throughout the time we were away. I would highly recommend her.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Harrisburg is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisburg
My dog Iggy is skittish and rarely likes people. Angel must be another dog whisperer. Iggy played with other dogs and she was able to hold him. Which made my family members jealous. He only lets me hold him. When I picked him up he was comfortable being there and kept jumping on her to let her know I was there. Great experience! If was loved and well taken care of.

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 July 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 447 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Harrisburg. About 96% 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.
