“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!”
“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Heather was so great with our boy. She clearly knows dogs well and loves them. She sent us tons of pictures and we were very comfortable knowing he was being well cared for.”

I’m only a call or text away and will always send photos and videos I have extra crates and pads for puppies and dog I have toys and food and bowls I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space
“Super easy to drop off and pickup. She shared photos and videos throughout the stay. Also, she was extremely accommodating when we needed to keep extending the number of days. And our dog had a blast. It was like a doggie vacation for her.”
About: I've taken care of a few different types of dogs but mostly pitbulls. I love to play, if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. It'd be great to take them to a dog park with my pup or just out and about. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park or go for scenic walk and spend extra time outside if its nice. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out 9pm. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues.
“Saveri was such a great host for our little guy. She was very responsive and attentive! We enjoyed the updates and pictures that were sent. She even checked in with us when he was refusing to go outside in inclement weather! Can’t wait to book again with her the next time we are on an extended trip!”
“Our English shepherd, Arthur returned home from overnight stay (2 nights) at Jack and Carrie's, happy, good disposition, active & normal appetite. We know he loves their generous fenced in yard & their dog. It is obvious he was content with his caregiving at their home. Arthur & parents say " Thank you Jack and Carrie! We will call on you again for care.". Highly recommend.”
“Remy had an amazing stay with Christina! She was settled in and comfortable right away which put me at ease throughout my trip. Christina checked in and sent photos, letting me know Remy was doing wonderfully and having fun. She is also super communicative when arranging the stay, Remy’s intricacies, etc. I plan to use Christina for future stays and highly recommend!”
“Lola was well cared for and enjoyed her first visit. She received lots of time to explore outside and snuggle time. Needless to say, she was a tired girl when we brought her home.”
“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.”
About: I have had several dogs and cats over the years. I love how they are always happy to see you and they love you unconditionally I'm pretty sure I will be a little lonely without my son. I hope to fill that space with some special pets I work full time day hours. I work 2 minutes down the street so I could check on them often and spend the evenings with them 😉 I love pets. I will treat them as if they were my own. My son is going to college in August and I will be an empty nester
“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.”
“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!!!!”

Such a wonderful person and caregiver for my dog. Sent pics daily so I wouldn't worry and took such excellent care of Merlin while we were away. I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home! Will always use Bobbi for our dogs care. Words can't express how grateful we are to have found her. Thank you so very much Bobbi!
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.
