“If you came to the reviews to see if Vasumathy is the right pet sitter for you. The answer is YES!! BOOK HER NOW!! She recommended a meet and greet before booking. Which is a great idea for you to know who will be taken care of your pet and where they will be. Vasumathy took care of my 3 month old puppy Dunkin, with short notice, for a few days while my family and I were out for some hours. She is very knowledgeable and gave us some advice on how to train our puppy as well. She updated us on how our puppy was doing through out the day. Asked questions on how to care for our little Dunkin. She is very personable and you can tell she loves animals in general. You won't go wrong with booking her. I found our future dog sitter and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you Vasumathy!!”
“We are so grateful that we found Kaitlin! She treated our Frankie like he was her own. She sent tons of updates and pictures, which made being apart from him much easier. Our boy came home exhausted from how much fun he had. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Great sitter. Carrie and Jack were very communicative and great with our two pups. They have a nice fenced in yard and two pups of their own. Will definitely book again.”
“I am so pleased to have found Heather to watch my two pups! They absolutely loved her, her husband, home and their time there. I loved that my pups got to sleep in bed with them, as they do with me. She sent me photos and updates and she did great handling all their medications and health issues. I would absolutely recommend! My dogs were happy when I returned but almost seemed sad to leave! Lol”
“Angela and her family were terrific! We were stopping in Mechanicsburg for a couple of days during our relocation from RI to LA. She welcomed us and was very conscientious about our lab feeling comfortable in her surroundings. She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and made sure our lab had plenty of exercise to offset the hours she would be spending in the car. I would highly recommend Angela and would absolutely use her again!! :)”
“Simba stayed for 10 days. Mandeep and her family were very welcoming and took great care of our 15 months puppy. She also sent us pics and videos during the stay. Thanks Mandeep for taking care of him. Would definitely recommend.”
“Kaitlin is such a great sitter! She was super flexible with Tank’s stay and sent pictures throughout the stay. Tank especially loved her daughter who gave Tank lots of love. Kaitlin is awesome and I will definitely be contacting her again to dogsit!”
“We LOVED our caregivers! Our 7 year old golden retriever fell right in step with Courtney and Andrew 's close knit family. Colby thrives on human interaction, walks and belly rubbing. .. all of which he got with this sweet family of 5. We received daily pictures, much to our relief since we were gone for 11 days. Definitely recommend! We'll be using them again during the year. Thank you Andrew and Courtney!”
“Kayla was great! It was Lotus’s first time staying with Kayla. She sent us pictures throughout his stay with her and made sure we were in the loop of how he was doing. We felt very comfortable with her and would drop Lotus off in the future! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Korine and Matt were so kind and thoughtful and took amazing care of Evie! Evie can have a bit of a hard time warming up to people, but she fell in love with them so quickly! They are my first choice when coming back to visit the area! I can't thank them enough!!!!”
“Rosa and her girls are wonderful. I left my two dogs with them for a long trip. I received pictures and videos every day. My dogs looked healthy and happy in all the messages. I could tell that they were well taken care. It helped me enjoy my vacation and not worry. I would recommend Rosa.”
“Katelyn helped my dog, Pippin feel safe and welcomed while I was at the beach! He even jumped in her pool and she kept him safe there too! He had a blast and had his own mini vacation. I highly recommend Katelyn to everyone who needs affordable dog sitting.”
“Parker had a great stay with Maria! She sent daily updates and several videos/pic of Parker having a great time while we were away. I really apprecitae the comunication and love shown to my boy! Thank you!”
“I had such a positive experience with Patricia. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, she sent multiple updates and photos each day we were gone. Lambeau loved his stay!”
“She has provided us with daily updates/photos of our dog. She replied to our questions promptly. She made sure that our dog feels comfortable at their home.”
“Maura was so kind to our boy. He is 9 and has rarely been away from us. She went above and beyond to help make him comfortable and provide feedback on how he was doing. He was definitely well cared for.”
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.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Mechanicsburg is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mechanicsburg
Oleg was a life saver agreeing to watch our Ginny rather last minute! He has a beautiful home and is very nice person. He sent us updates daily with pictures, and our dog was exhausted from all the playing they must’ve been doing when we picked her up. Highly recommend and will have Ginny stay with Oleg again!
Our dogs had the best time with David and his family! They enjoyed early morning walks and plenty of activity, which I know they loved. David sent daily photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with him again for future vacations—as long as he's willing to take our two dogs back after all the fun they had!
I had my two dogs with Rob and his wife last week. They did an awesome job! They have a nice big fenced in back yard and he throws ball w them. I was immediately at ease because Rob sent lots of pics to me. He responded to me quickly anytime I texted him. I would not hesitate using Rob again! Highly recommend!!

There are 449 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mechanicsburg. About 94% of Mechanicsburg 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.

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.
