“I am so very pleased with Cheryl and her furry family. Cheryl was very meticulous about assessing my dogs needs and care right from the start. My dog is quite skidish about new dogs, new environments and new people. This was no challenge for Cheryl. She was able to ease my dogs insecurities right away and allowed her 2 dogs time to meet our little girl on her terms and very cautiously. Cheryl was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and communicated with me throughout the entire stay with updates and photos. She also provided my dog with medications for her skin and gave us great feedback on how I may be able to better care for her allergies. Cheryl is a very responsible dog owner and it certainly carries into her ability to care for my dog as well. My dog was happy and stress free while in Cheryl's care and I will definitely be using her again! If you're looking for a caretaker that will provide top notch care and treat your furry companion with the love and respect they deserve, then look no further and reach out to Cheryl.”
“Diana did amazing at making our little Dixie feel at home and relaxed! Caring for a puppy is no small feat and she took on the challenge with lots of love and care. We'll be using her again!”
“Heather and her family greeted our dogs with loving, open arms. They have a lovely home with a farm which allowed the dogs to be entertained from their playpen with chickens and ducks. Our dogs are completely happy with no problems while they were visiting Heather and Family. Heather is great at communication and gets back to you right away. We asked for pictures and Heather sent lots of pictures to comfort us knowing our girls were safe and well loved.”
“Danny was great. Kept me informed and sent pics of Finn. This was the first time I left Finn for such a long time, but I think I missed him more than he missed me. I will use Danny in the future to take care of Finn.”
“Jack is a thoughtful, caring, and thorough caretaker of now our second family dog. He has always treated our dogs as family, and they come home happy and well-cared for, and they don’t miss a beat. We are thankful to have him as our caretaker!”
“Josie and her family was great w/ our pittie, Max. We were anxious as this is the first time we’re going to be away from him, but she provided us with updates the whole time. I can tell Mac loved being at their home.”
“It was my third time with this family. Would give 10 stars if it would exist! My Standard Poodle was well taken care of. I had a full report with pictures, meals. We definitely will be back!”
“London had such an amazing time. This was my first time not being able to take her with me on a trip so I was a little nervous. Elizabeth sent pictures and updates and was very quick to respond. I would highly recommend Elizabeth and her family to care for your pets. In fact, when I go away in August, I will be contacting her again to reschedule another booking. Thank you again.”
“Huck had such a great time! Communication was great and we loved the picture updates. Definitely felt at ease having our boy with Sarah. Already looking at our calendar for his next stay with her!”
“Ashley did an awesome job accommodating a last minute boarding request. She sent lots of pictures and even took my pup swimming. Our pup came home happy and exhausted from so much playing!”
“Julianne is great. Her and her husband were very caring and accommodating. She sent pictures of our pups multiple times which alleviated the stress of leaving them. Would definitely have her watch our dogs again.”
“Bobbi did a wonderful job again. I know when I leave Maggie with her, she is going to be cared for and loved. I love seeing all the picture of Maggie with her friends too. Bobbi is a caring dog lover.”
“I had a last-minute cancellation and urgently needed someone reliable to care for my Kaine, my big German Shepherd with medical needs (including a paw abscess). This family was absolutely amazing! Their home has a lovely fenced-in yard, their kids were kind and gentle, and their own dog was fantastic. I was a little nervous at first because their dog is big too, but he’s a bit older and honestly wasn’t too focused on Kaine — he was more interested in me! That made Kaine feel so comfortable and helped him settle in without stress. Kaine can sometimes be nervous or reactive with dogs that are too pushy or don’t give him space, but their dog was incredibly respectful and welcoming, creating the perfect environment for Kaine to relax. She (the sitter) was soft-spoken, maybe a little shy, but extremely communicative, attentive, and thoughtful about every need I had — even the little things I was worried about. Pickup and drop-off were smooth, and I was so impressed and grateful for the care they gave. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone needing reliable, loving pet care!”
“Carrie took great care of our socially awkward dog. Phoebe and our dog Pebble were best buds for the week and it helped Pebble adjust to a new home. Carrie updated us every day and multiple times a day. This was our first time leaving our dog and the experience gave us the confidence to be able to do it again.”
“Ms.Rosa and her family are excellent sitters!! They welcomed and cared for our dog as if he was a permanent part of their family. We will definitely use them again when we go away. 😊”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I had my reservations. I was more than pleased with my pet sitter. David was professional, communicative, punctual and very brave to take on my three beasts for a whole weekend. Not only did he care for them better than I do, I was able to leave them having the peace of mind that they were being well cared for in a loving home. David provided regular updates with how they were doing, but not too many to not enjoy my weekend of freedom! I would recommend David to anyone looking for a sitter. 10 out of 10 experience.”
“I just love how much Christina loves Boris! She’s super communicative and he’s always happy when we drop him at her place, which to me is the best sign that he enjoys his time with her, Willow and Meeko!”
About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I have raised and trained two service dogs. We now have a rescue and have gained experience with skittish, anxious dogs. I work full time as an occupational therapist. I am available most weekends for sitting in my home. I also occasionally work weekends and then have days off during the week, so I would be available for limited daytime sitting. I have two friendly labs that are well socialized and love play dates! I would treat your dog as my own. I will follow all instructions to ensure I am meeting your dogs needs.
“Bristoe had a ball! Thank you for having him! I loved the texts throughout my stay away from my boy. Theresa was very accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks again!! We look forward to future stays.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shippensburg on Rover is $33.3 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 201 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shippensburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Shippensburg sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Shippensburg landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shippensburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Shippensburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Shippensburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
