“Stefany has watched my 3 dogs multiple times now. Each time she has been punctual, communicative and professional. I feel very comfortable when she is watching them. My dogs love her and she has even gained the trust of the little one who barks at everyone.”
“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Kiki is the absolute best!!!! She recently house sat for me and the updates and pictures kept coming! She took such great care of my pup and my house. Will definitely book her for house sitting, walking, and check ins in the future.”
“Melissa is a wonderful sitter. She was very responsive and sent many pictures during her house sitting. She left our house just as we had! It was nice knowing she was there taking care of our dog.”
“If I could give Alyssa more than 5 stars, I would. She truly came to our rescue after a friend canceled on us the night before we had to leave for a funeral out of state. We were scrambling to find someone we could trust with our two cats and our dog on incredibly short notice, and Alyssa stepped in without hesitation. What started as an incredibly stressful situation turned into one where we were able to travel with complete peace of mind because of her. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding. She kept us updated throughout our trip, sent thoughtful messages and lots of wonderful photos, and it was obvious she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our pets—not just checking boxes. Every update made us smile and reassured us that they were in the best hands. The biggest compliment I can give is that when we came home, our pets were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. Anyone who has pets knows they can become clingy or anxious after you're gone, but it was clear they had received so much love, attention, and affection that they weren't attention-starved at all. Alyssa treated them like family, and that means everything to us. On top of that, our home was exactly as we left it—clean, organized, and well cared for. She treated all our pets and our home with genuine respect. I know Alyssa is a newer sitter, but don't let that make you hesitate for a second. She is dependable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Alyssa is the person you want.”
“Sara was fantastic at taking care of our dogs! She is an incredibly kind person and did phenomenal with random quirks our dogs have with strangers. She sent tons of updates and pictures and in every one our dogs looked relaxed and happy. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Vanessa is amazing! This was my first experience with this kinda service and it was such a positive experience. We have a new puppy and Vanessa took such good care of our fur baby! Highly recommend her she’s amazing!”
About: Growing up with dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles has given me years of hands-on animal care experience. I have years of experience caring for outdoor potty-trained dogs, house-trained dogs, puppies using potty pads. I also have experience with both energetic puppies & senior dogs. I provide patient, attentive care tailored to each dog(s) unique personality & needs. When caring for your dog(s), I prioritize safety, routine, comfort. I follow instructions closely & aim to ensure every dog(s) feels secure, relaxed, well cared for while you’re away. As a full-time college student engaged in online classes, my schedule allows me the flexibility to be at home throughout the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time for play, walks, & affectionate interaction with your dog/dogs in my care. Additionally, I am the loving owner of a sociable small dog that is well-behaved & enjoys the company of other well-behaved canines. Your dog's safety, comfort, well-being are always my absolute top priorities. Summer & Weather Safety Walks To protect your pup from overheating, dehydration & painful paw pad burns, walks are strictly scheduled during the coolest parts of the day. Please use Rover's broad booking windows, noting my precise walking schedule below: • Morning Walks (5:00 AM – 7:00 AM Only) Please select Rover's 6:00 AM – 11:00 AM option. (Note: To beat the morning heat, 7:00 AM is my absolute safety cutoff for walks). • Evening Walks (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Only) Please select Rover's 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM option. (Note: Walks will only begin after 6:00 PM once the pavement has cooled down safely). Thank you for partnering with me to prioritize your pup’s health & hydration! Health & Hygiene Standards To maintain a clean, safe, stress-free environment for all pets in my care, I require all furry guests to meet basic hygiene standards: • Cleanliness: Dogs should arrive fully groomed, well-brushed, bathed, free of strong odors & nails trimmed. • Parasite-Free: All pets must be 100% free of fleas, ticks & contagious conditions. • Note: Pet wipes & sprays are great for touch-ups, but they do not replace necessary baths. To ensure a perfect match for everyone, basic health & hygiene will be verified during our initial Meet & Greet.
About: Hello, I have experience with dogs cats fish and livestock! Let me know how I can make your pets day special while you are away! I am a dog lover and know the difficulty with finding someone who can provide the care needed for a pet while on vacation. I am great with dogs, but love all animals. I am flexible and am looking to earn some extra cash aside from my current job. I work for a school and have a clean background check. Feel free to ask me anything and I hope I am a good fit for you and your pet. I have a fully fenced yard and side yard for my pets. AC is always running within my home. Pets are fed in assigned locations.
“My dog loves Camille! I’m super thankful she’s been such a good pet sitter for my little Alfred. Camille recently house sat for me, and she was such a respectful sitter. The house was just as clean as when we left, and I’m thankful she’s so good with my dog.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15, l adore our 2 two year old puppies. I would love any other doggie as if it was my own. I'm currently a full time stay home mom of 2 loving independent kids that also adore doggies, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on Saturdays and weekdays after 8 am - 7: pm. I have a fenced large yard and two friendly puppies to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also have two kids that also adore dogs. I do petting full time. I am home 24/7 and I'm available especially for those last minute walks, or if you need to go out of town, send me a message, if my calendar here shows I am available then I am! Please feel free to book me in advance. I strive to offer the best experience for your dog(s) will love socializing and make new friends! I want your dog's stay to be a fun, loving, and a happy experience in our home! Your dog's health and safety is very important to me, so proof of current vaccinations is required. (Bordatella, Rabies an DHLPP). I would love to care for your buddy! If your dog has a LOUD bark or barks excessively, we would not be a good fit for you. Unfortunately, I am not able to care for Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Huskies, German Shepherd, Boxers, Akitas, Labradors, Sharpies, or any aggressive, HOWLING/LOUD barking breeds. I am unable to care for dogs who have any aggression, separation anxiety, or LOUD barking. I look forward to meeting you, and welcoming your furry baby into our family!🐾💕
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog and cat received! From the start, Yeilin was reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we came home, and our cat, who can be quite difficult was calm and content. Yeilin provided great communication throughout the entire experience, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our pets were treated like family. We highly recommend Yeilin's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”

About: I personally own 1 dog and 5 cats and owned many more before and they all lived long happy lives. Dogs are puppies to me, regardless their age. I also used to volunteer at a pet shelter - my duties included walking, feeding, cleaning kennels and socializing stray or feral animals so they could be adopted out to loving homes I would preferably take clients during weekdays but depending on dates and frequency I’d be open to some weekends as well, contact me to discuss further details I am willing to send photo/video updates to the owner(s) about their pets every day - morning routines, feeding, walk and play times, dinner time etc.
About: I have taken all different kinds of dogs since my first dog when i was 7. Ranging from Pitbulls and Giant doodles all the way to chihuahuas and miniature Yorkies. I have a fondness for dogs, as they do for me, I’m ready to take care of them when needed! I am usually working from 7am-3:30pm most days. Although, I am available almost every weekend. I definitely am committed for the hours I am not working! I will be attentive to all the clients and pets needs. Will keep constant communication with owners as needed for any updates or check-ins.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is always a priority. Making sure they can’t get into anything harmful. I make sure they’re leashed every walk and that nothing harms the pet whatsoever. They’re in good hands.
About: Hi, I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for my own pets, as well as family and friends’ animals, and have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playing, keeping pets on their schedules, and trips to the groomer. I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your pet, especially with breeds that can be misunderstood. I’ve had Pit Bulls most of my life, so there is absolutely no breed discrimination here! Every pet deserves patience, love, and great care. I’d love to help make your time away less stressful by giving your pets the attention and care they deserve. 🐾❤️

Shannon is wonderful, and if you are looking for a pet sitter/house sitter do not hesitate- if her dates are available book her immediately. My only hesitation in giving Shannon the rave review she deserves is my fear that if everyone finds out about her, she will not be available when I next need her! Shannon is the first person EVER to get our skittish kitty to come out and play, and I would say they even became friends. Our house was lst in such perfect condition it was hard to believe someone had been living here for the week we were away: but how great to have the plants watered, the mail brought in, and the security of someone at home WHILE AT T?HE SAME TIME knowing our kitty was well cared for and not dying of lonliness. Shannon is professional, friendly, and knows what she is doing. We will ALWAYS call Shannon in the future- and will begin to take longer trips now that we have the perfect person. A blessing!
Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,176 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lancaster walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lancaster maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lancaster choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lancaster. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
