“I am a very anxious person, Sarah took the time to work with me and my pup. Very accommodating and always asking questions to make sure we are on the same page! And Charlie is an angle!”
“Heather is great! This is the first time we’ve used a pup sitter besides our family members and Heather was fantastic with him. She kept us informed of how he was doing and he came home so tired he slept the rest of the day…..which is a good thing with his energy ?. Thanks so much, Heather, for taking care of him.”
“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!”

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.
“Kaitlin took great care of Luna. Sent us daily updates and photos of my girl. Luna was so excited to come back and spend time/play with Raven she could hardly wait to get out of the car! This is the second time we have booked with Kaitlin and looking forward to using her services again!”
“Our overnight stay with Jack & Carrie went perfectly while we visited our son at Dickinson. They were very attentive to Mich and took wonderful care of him getting him settled in and keeping us updated during his stay and sending some photos. We’d love to return sometime when we are back in Carlisle -our son loved the chance to see him too.!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I cannot express my gratitude enough for the genuine care that Rosa and her daughters gave to my sweet Nyla. Rosa sent me pictures and videos the entire stay. She went above and beyond, by giving my Nyla a bath per request and administering her meds and special diet as carefully requested as well.”
“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.”

“Steffany & her family were the most wonderful hosts for Kona! They took great care of her & treated her like another member of the family while she stayed over. I received updates every day & they were very flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend!!”
“Was available at the moment we messaged. Primary dog sitter backed out. We decided to board with a highly recommended sitter. Responsive & available. Accommodated our hectic schedule and made everything really easy from start to finish. Ryder is worn out and my family and I are grateful Ryder got the attention he deserved during our absence. Thank you again Darian!”

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!
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 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.

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.
