“Krysten was great with communication regarding my dog. She sent pics and videos updating me on how the stay was going. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Melissa and her family were great with Kira (and just super nice in general! :) They kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me great pics throughout her stay. I also really appreciated Melissa's willingness to do a meet 'n greet before my dog's first stay. It's not easy for me to leave my fur baby with just anyone, but Melissa and her family have quickly gained my trust.”
“Archie had a great stay with this wonderful family who all seem to love animals. The were very accommodating and responsive and kept me updated throughout weekend. Will definitely be rebooking in future!”
“Milo was very happy to stay with Christina and family - he got to play, go for walks and snuggle - all of his favorite things! I loved the pictures and updates I received while he was there. Milo will definitely stay with them again!”
“I had a great experience! My dog can be a bit anxious (and he’s a big boy), but he was so well cared for and clearly felt comfortable. It gave me peace of mind knowing they’ve handled an English Mastiff before. I loved the daily updates and photos, and he got plenty of outdoor time which he loves. He came home happy and completely tuckered out. I'd absolutely book again!”
“Tracy was great to work with, very compassionate about her duty as a sitter and made Hank feel loved and appreciated!! I also appreciated that she was understanding about me being late for pickup as I am just getting settled into a new environment. I hope and look forward to using her again in the future!! Her darling Stella who is as well a Yorkie was just a cute girl. We loved Tracy!”
“They were great! They sent multiple updates and were amazing about keeping us in the loop. Needed to book last minute and they were very accommodating and were available and worked with us!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She watched our puppy over a long weekend and provided lots of updates, photos and videos! She also offered a meet and greet prior to watching her, which was very appreciated:) We will definitely book with her again next time our pup needs a sitter!”
“Anna and her family were so good with Gracie! Anna was super easy to work with and communicate with. I would highly recommend her for your doggo. She gave me confidence that my furry friend would be ok and well taken care off.”
“Had an absolutely fantastic experience with this booking. Our little dude is highly anxious around strangers, and she endeared herself to him immediately. Sent plenty of pictures and updates so we could see how happy he was staying here. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Mikayla was so kind when I had a family emergency and needed to leave town in a hurry. My puppy had a great time (she's told me all about it) and the family was really nice. ❤️”
“Angi did a fantastic time caring for our 2 dogs. With their high energy level and prey drive, they can be a handful if they don't get enough exercise or stimulation but by the time we picked them up they were worn out and happy as can be. We also loved all the updates and care she put in to making sure we felt good about leaving our boys with her. We will definitely be bringing them back!”
“Jamie and her family were very accommodating. My pup felt at home the moment we walked in the door. Even though my dog isn’t used to being around other dogs, she was very comfortable and the other dogs were very well behaved. We will definitely choose Jamie again!!”
“Chelsey was great and pretty flexible since I was out of state. I never had the chance to meet ahead of time because of my schedule, but I couldn’t be happier with how she treated me and my cat! Chelsey sent me nice updates and plenty of pictures over the week, which was especially nice over the holidays. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Trisha was so friendly and genuinely cared for my dogs. She kept in touch with me with pictures and updates. I new they were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“This was our first time booking with Melissa and our dog would be there 9 days!! She was very welcoming and took great care of our dog. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos. Our dog got along great with her two dogs. I would highly recommend boarding with Melissa!!”
“I can’t say thank you enough to Marnie and Jeffery! ❤️ This was our first time using rover (we don’t leave our dogs much) and it was an amazing experience! They loved on Murphy extra on his birthday with pup cups, party hats, and treats. I’d be lying if I said my eyes didn’t water seeing those pictures 🥹 We have a few more weddings this year and I’m crossing my fingers they’ll take Murphy and Nala for a few more overnights because I know they’ll be safe and loved! What more could you want?❤️”
“I can't say enough good things about Sheila! From the moment I first spoke with her, I knew my kitten Ophie would be in great hands. Sheila took him in on just a day's notice, which was incredibly generous given the timing, and she handled everything with such care. She asked all the right questions to make sure she understood his needs, and her attention to detail was clear from the start. She even documented his first day with her, which was so reassuring and thoughtful. Throughout the week, she kept us updated regularly. Under Sheila’s care, Ophie’s personality truly shined. He was comfortable, happy, and clearly adored. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and Sheila absolutely did that. I’m so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”
“Josie watched our dog for four days while we were gone on vacation. She was in communication with us throughout our trip. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. From the pics we received, our dog looked like she had a lot of fun playing and relaxing too. She has been sleeping since we got her home.😊 I would book Josie again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harrisburg on Rover is $41.07 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 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 August 2026, there are 158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harrisburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 SD 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.
