“Livy had the best time staying at their house! I got photos and videos everyday of my little peanut. I was so pleased with how she was cared for! I would happily send livy back.”
“Sarah was very nice and her dog Charlie was very good with my dog, Lester! Lester loved walking multiple times a day with them and the one-on-one attention he got while we were away. Sarah was great with daily updates and sent loads of pictures of Lester’s day. I will definitely be booking with her again for our next trip!”
“Vasumathy is such a loving and knowledgeable dog sitter. She took care of our golden doodle for the weekend and she was absolutely fabulous about all the aspects of dogcare. She also gave us great insights about dogfood and some great tips. When I met gattu on Sunday afternoon for pick ups, he was calm and content which showed that he was safe and was in good hands. We will definitely use Vasumathy again for our future vacations!”
“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!”
“Mandy took great care of our two pups while we were away. She took them pretty last minute on a holiday weekend, which I very much appreciated. They got plenty of exercise and play. Thank you, Mandy and family for welcoming Loki and Zoey into your home for the week!”
“I DEFINITELY recommend Angel and will rebook with her if I need boarding in the future. Angel was responsive to all messages and seemed like she really loves dogs. She sent pictures during his stay and he seemed like he had enjoyed himself when I came by to pick him up. Thanks Angel for taking care of my Denim on such short notice.”
About: I have been dog sitting and dog walking for 10 years now. I love it and wouldn't change it for the world. I live in a full fenced yard with a swimming pool! I work from home every day! I can help bath, feed, and give medications. I care for all dogs of any size and any breed. I have a dog myself (she is an 1 year old vizsla) and take her on 5 mile walks daily. I have 3 young boys that love animals and will play and run until they are all tired! I work from home every day and my schedule is very flexible. I can stop in to check on the dog or take them for a walk. I have a fully fenced in yard. If the dog needs crated, I have that as well. They will feel right at home at my house.
“Heather is an excellent sitter who loves dogs. She watched our 2 babies and they seemed happy and well cared for. Heather sent pictures to us every day. It helped us to know our babies were doing well. This is our first experience with Heather, She will be our first choice in sitter when we look for somewhere to keep our pups when we are out of town.”
“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.”
“Kayla is awesome! My dog always has a great time and we always get a lot of pictures and updates from Kayla. She is a great communicator and we always feel confident when we leave Zuri with her. We have used Kayla several times and we will continue to book with her in the future.”
“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!”
“Christine was great. She and her family have given Simba a very happy stay at their beautiful home. Her dog Bond is very friendly and my dog Simba loved playing with him. My dog came home happy and well cared for. The second visit was great as well and Simba just ran into her house when I went to drop him. He had lots of fun in their yard playing and exploring. Cristina sent me pictures and updates about my dog through the entire stay.”
“Patricia was amazing! She sent pictures, loved my dogs, took them on walks and to a near by park, and sent me updates. She was also very flexible for me. We were an hour late to drop off due to traffic and we were able to pick them up on a Sunday at 4:30pm instead of 7pm, and Patricia was super helpful.”
About: I love to ensure each pet is kept safe while they are away from home. I know how I want my own pets treated, so I make sure to do the same! We love to play, eat treats, and have fun over here! I’m available full time, I am a stay at home mother so I enjoy doing this in free time and have a pretty open schedule :) I prefer to have animals in my home because it is a lot easier for me to tend to them. Boarding them in my home is easiest for me as long as your animal is okay around children and another animal!
“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.”
About: I have worked with animals for a long time. I have a degree in biology and psychology for animal training and behavior. I worked previously in a zoo setting, as well as offering dog training classes through a pet store. I’m trained in positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home with a flexible schedule. We have one English bulldog in our home and I would love the opportunity to visit with your pets on an as needed or regular basis. If you have any questions not answered here, please feel free to contact me about my history/experience or any specific needs you may have. Thanks for reading and your interest! I work from home so I’m always looking to get some fresh air and take a break! I can walk dogs or check in during the normal work day. Currently I’m offering dog walks and check ins during the week. I will follow all of your instructions and be sure to send you an update! We are looking for one dog to offer doggy daycare weekly in our home. My husband and I are both WFH and we would love host a dog (must be okay with dogs and kids) during the workweek!
“My pup had the best time with Courtney, Andrew, and their 3 sweet boys. They treated him like apart of the family while he was in their care. I got plenty of pictures to show how much he enjoyed his stay. I’ll definitely be requesting this family as a first contact the next time I need a pup sitter!”

Our dog had a great time staying with Oleg and his family. I was as nervous as my dog leaving her for a long weekend. I was messaging Oleg and he was responding promptly so I was able to relax. We've got a lot of pictures and I could see that my dog was getting used to the family and felt like home. We will definitely come back.
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!
Derek and Cammie were absolutely amazing with my dog, Snuggles! ❤️🐾 I was away in Europe and had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and loving hands. They treated Snuggles like part of their family and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated the updates and photos, which helped me enjoy my trip knowing she was doing so well. When I picked her up, it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. Derek and Cammie went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better caregivers for my precious girl. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Snuggles! ❤️✨
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Mechanicsburg on Rover is $35.52 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 444 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mechanicsburg. About 96% 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.
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.
