“I've booked Stacey now for both boarding and a drop in service and she has been great! She has also been very flexible and understanding with schedule changes. I will definitely continue to book her in the future.”
“Sophia was amazing! She was very flexible about drop off and a last-minute booking with only a few days notice. She sent daily pictures and our pup was loved to pieces and had very attentive care. We have used several Rover sitters with positive experiences and Sophia will definitely be our new go-to!!”
“Rebecca was the best! She was so flexible in meeting me to drop off/pick up my dog, and I could tell that my dog loved spending time with her. She was smiling and wagging her tail when I picked her up and I know she had the best time. She sent photos throughout her stay and kept me in the loop. If I ever need someone to watch Willow again I know who to contact. Thank you!”
“Zander was great. He went over and above for our rather difficult chihuahua mix, Susie, who reacts negatively to air pressure changes due to rain and thunderstorms. I recommend him for any dog.”
About: Hi! My name is Georgia and I recently moved to Harrisonburg a couple of months ago and am missing my furry friends! I’m a young professional in the area and also am a volunteer at the SPCA. I worked with rover while in college and had a great experience and am excited to start pet sitting again! I grew up with newfoundlands so I’m used to and know how to handle the slober, long hair, and high energy pups and kitties as well as everything in between. Please reach out with any questions and bookings:) I work hybrid and also in the Harrisonburg area so I am able to be flexible to the animals schedule. My nights are usually spent at home and I usually come home for lunch so there are multiple touch points they can be let out throughout the day. I am all about caring to your pets for whatever they may need, weather that be daily walks, trips to dog park, multiple feeding times you name it.
“Erin took such great care of Honey. Friendly family. Accepting and fun furries of her own that might just turn into best 4-legged friends. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Erin!”

“We were nervous leaving our 6-month-old puppy for the first time, but Cory made it a wonderful experience for us and our pup. Cory was easy to communicate with; he provided lots of photos and updates when we were gone and Riley seemed very happy and content when we went to pick her up. We would definitely like to have Cory watch Riley again.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Tiffanie! From the moment we met her, it was clear how knowledgeable and responsible she is — and most importantly, how much she genuinely loves dogs. She treated our pups like they were her own, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the absolute highlights was how many adorable photos she sent us — it truly made our day every time a new one came in. You can tell she goes the extra mile not just in caring for the dogs, but also in making sure you feel connected to them while you're apart. We’re so grateful to have found Tiffanie. She’s everything you could hope for in a sitter: professional, kind, thoughtful, and truly passionate about animals. We would absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is MacKenzie, I am 21 years old, and I love animals of all shapes and sizes, but I do have the most experience with dogs. There has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had a dog. My family started out with a Labrador, then we got two Shih Tzu’s, and now I live with my boyfriend and we have a Boxador named Luna who is 9 months old with a bunch of energy! My friends and family have always entrusted my sister or I to take care of their pets, so when I heard about Rover I thought, “What better job is there than to hang out with doggos all day?” So, I signed up and I am excited to show your animals the same love and care you do! I moved to Raleigh recently and just got a new job as a Medical Esthetician at a spa. I am currently going through the process of building up my clientele at the spa I work at since I am so new; therefore, I have a decent amount of free time in between! I care for my dog typically by walking her twice a day, taking her to the dog park on weekends, cuddling her when she lets me, and taking her on fun adventures when I can bring her with me! If she can go with me, she’s by my side haha.
“Jonathan met me at the door right on time and Bronco was welcomed by his dogs and they took off to the fully fenced in back yard and he fit right in. He was well taken care of and right on time for pick up. Highly recommend.”

“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”
“Brianne was amazing with my pup, Baci. She was quick to communicate, so kind, very flexible, and I picked up a happy dog. I highly recommend Brianne. This is one of my first dog sitting experiences and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Our dog connected with Heather immediately! It was clear from the photos and messages that our dog was enjoying her time with Heather and extremely comfortable in her home. Heather is personable and professional, and we would book her again to care for our dog.”
About: I am a medical professional for 20 years, with summers off (yes, I feel blessed ;) which provides flexibility from May to August. So let me know when you're headed on vacation or have other summer activities planned, if you need boarding, dog walking, drop ins or house/pet sitting. I'm an active mom to two teen boys, and a dog mom to Red Fox Lab named Coby who is 3. We spend lots of time outdoors, playing, walking, porch sitting and having doggy play dates. I have summers off from May through August, looking to connect our family and our lab Coby with your fur baby for a fun summer days We live in a safe community with lots of options for play just a short walk away with the many parks Bridgewater has to offer. Large home, open yard but have electric fencing, a fixed outdoor lead, a crate available and a sweet Lab named Coby who loves other friends to play with. If I come to you we can cater more specifically to your dogs preferences.
About: First of all, my name is Toni. Rover will only accept legally changed names, and I haven’t gotten there yet. But I’m Toni M. and I started getting involved with pet care because of my mental illness and autism. The stress of life was lowering my ability to function and every job I tried seemed to make it all worse. Enter: Dogs. I decided if I was going to make it I needed to be doing something that gave instead of took from me. Animals have helped bring me back to life in the dark. I’ve worked with puppies and older dogs. I’ve spent significant time with dogs with anxiety issues as well. I tend to connect with dogs who need a little extra love the most anyway. I do have a job but I’m available for boarding if pet is crate trained. When a pet stays with me we have a routine. Coffee (for me), breakfast, walk. And in the evenings we eat, play, have downtime. I guarantee an hour of exercise a day for your pet as well. My yard is fenced so no chance of escape. I like to play outside with the animals twice a day. Water bowel is always filled and animals are always welcome on my furniture. They’re free to make themselves at home.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Harrisonburg is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrisonburg
Jenesis was fabulous with my little buddy, Dublin. She was so careful about introducing him to her Aria and they did great together. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and know he was incredibly cared for. I highly recommend her and will use her again if I'm traveling in the area. Thank you, Jenesis.
Diane was so nice and kind. She provided updates and images of my fur baby and her kids definitely enjoyed Liam. When I came to pick Liam up, the kids were sad which showed me they really cared for him and loved on him a lot. Liam looked calm which meant he felt safe with Diane and her children. I will definitely use Diane again.
Mimi had a great time staying with Hazzar and her friendly pups and family. Hazzar kept me updated with pictures and tips for treats or types of food that Mimi liked while on her "pup vacation" and I felt confident Mimi was in good hands! Highly recommend Hazzar as a caring, reliable pet sitter guaranteed to take care of your pup and any stress you may feel leaving your pup.
Jo was fantastic with Gizmo! She sent pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. Gizmo came home happy and tired out from a great week—you could tell he had a blast. He got along well with Jo, Kayla, and Cricket, and it was clear he was well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Jo for anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like part of the family!
Bella was amazing with my anxious dog. She helped him relax by taking him for long trail walks and was great about letting him roam the house instead of using a crate. Great communication, daily photo updates, and very responsive by reaching out and asking questions when she had a concern. My pup came home happy and tired! I will definitely use her again
Giavanna did an excellent job taking care of Henry. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay. It was clear from the updates that she was attentive and genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. Henry came home relaxed and well cared for, which says everything. We really appreciate the attention and communication, and we would absolutely trust Giavanna to watch him again. Highly recommend!
Walter had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She kept us informed how Walter was doing with pictures and texts. Walter even made a new doggie friend at her house. It was lovely to be able to enjoy our vacation and know that Walter was well cared for. My husband and I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone who asks. Thank you!
Beth was amazing and the perfect choice for looking after my Reggie. She gave him top care, love, and attention. She was wonderful with him and provided lots of updates and photos. This was Reggie’s first stay with a sitter and I’m so glad it was with Beth! I highly recommend her!
I was very happy with Olivia’s care of our dog Story while we were away for just over 24 hours! Mostly I was pleased by Story’s eagerness to meet her and her roommates, and their interest in her, as well as how Story responded to Olivia when we picked her up. Will definitely rebook when needed and it suites.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Harrisonburg on Rover is $38.85 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 129 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Harrisonburg. About 94% of Harrisonburg 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.

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 VA 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.
