“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Monica stayed at our home with our fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats) for a few days over the 4th of July this year and she was amazing. She send us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout her stay, and made sure we knew they were all doing well. We were so nervous about leaving our babies over the holiday with all the fireworks, but she handled their medication and let them snuggle with her and ensured they were safe. So grateful for her and will definitely use her again!”
About: My love for dogs started when I was just 6 years old when I got my first dog Katie, an Alaskan husky, and it has only grown stronger ever since. From a young age, family friends and neighbors trusted me to care for their beloved pets by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving each one the attention and affection they deserved. I have always treated every dog in my care as if they were my own, and that commitment hasn't changed. Today, I bring that same lifelong passion and hands on experience to every booking. Whether your pup needs a energetic walk, a calm overnight stay, or simply some extra love while you're away, you can count on me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I am available for walks Monday through Saturday, with a preference for early morning appointments, though I am flexible to accommodate your schedule. I do not offer walking services on Sundays or major federal holidays. If you have any specific instructions, preferred routes, or behavioral notes about your dogs, I welcome that information to make every walk as smooth as possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the owner's feeding schedule, walking times, and any specific instructions to ensure the pet experiences little to no disruption while they are away. I make sure fresh water is always available, the space is kept tidy, and that each pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and affection throughout every visit. For dog walking, I take the time to understand each dog's behavior and energy level before heading out, walking up to two dogs at a time from the same litter to keep every outing safe and enjoyable. No matter the service, I treat every pet with the same patience and love I would give my own.
“Shannon was great! She was punctual, professional and loving with my baby. Shannon made me leaving my baby less stressful. We love her and will be booking again for all of our needs.”
“This is the 2nd time Melissa took care of our 3 kitties at home. Each day we were gone, she consistently sent pictures, feed & gave them water daily, cleaned the litter box, and gave us a daily report. I highly recommend Melissa for the "drop-in" option... which is what I signed her up for. Once again, THANK YOU MELISSA for taking good care of our kitties. We are very comfortable leaving our kitties at home & Melissa checking on them! 1st time Melissa took care of our kitties was close to 3 weeks. This time, she cared for our kitties 6 days. If you want to keep your kitties in their most comfortable place, that's their home, Melissa is wonderful! Thank you again Melissa! We will probably request you the next time we are leaving town!”
“Annie is always great with our senior dog Samson! Happy to be a repeat client of Annie's and to be able to relax while we're traveling with Annie taking such great care of our senior dog and house. Thanks again!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 14. I have loved animals since I was born and am able to administer medications and also insulin if needed. My first pet sitting actually involved small farm animals too! I work at Yard house, a restaurant in the Palmdale valley. While I can work late hours I will always make sure your animal’s care comes first and foremost. I currently do not have my own home as I am renting a room. I sadly am not able to offer board and care in my own home at this time.
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. I have a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime & potty breaks. I also have a crate available if needed for rest, bedtime, or safety in certain situations.

Thank you for prioritizing your pup's safety with me & thank you for understanding! To maintain a clean, safe, healthy environment for all pets in my care, all dogs must be properly groomed & well-maintained. This includes regular bathing, a clean & brushed coat, appropriate nail trimming, basic dental hygiene & no strong odors or signs of poor hygiene. Dogs must also be free of fleas, ticks, or contagious conditions. Pet wipes, perfumes, or sprays are not a substitute for proper grooming. Dogs that do not meet basic hygiene & grooming standards will be declined at the meet & greet. Safety, comfort & well-being are always my top priority for every dog (s) in my care.
About: Being a pet owner my whole life has allowed me to understand dogs very well! I’ve dealt with bigger breeds like German Shepards and Pitt bulls, smaller breeds have always gotten along well with my demeanor. I have majority of the day to walk or take dogs to a park or allow them to explore the deserts. Let me know your dogs preference of activity. I stick to the rules, let me know what your dogs need or if they have anything that is specific for them that needs to get done!
About: As a lifelong pet owner with 18 years of hands-on experience, I have cared for dogs through every stage of life. My experience includes feeding, grooming, potty training, daily exercise, and teaching basic commands. I provide attentive, patient, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available most days and can provide flexible care throughout the week. On Mondays, I’m available before 6pm, and weekends for boarding. I love giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and ensure a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away.
“Monica is awesome, very loving to all 3 of my animals and we were able to relax even though one of our doggies was not well we knew she was taking very good care of him. I would definitely have her come care for them again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I have my own dog as well and am more than willing to work with all types of dogs. I work full time but I am looking to make some bonus money on the side for some cushion. I am available in the evenings and weekends I love taking dogs on walks long enough to make them happy and tire them out, I always make sure the dog has clean water and enough food, and play with them as much as I can.
About: I've had dogs since I was 10 years old. I dog sit for my coworkers and family members. I have a certificate in veterinary assisting and I interned at a veterinary clinic for 2 months where I gained valuable experience with dogs and cats of all ages, I am cpr certified, I can give oral medication and injectable medications like insulin. I currently work at a middle school so I am unavailable Monday-Friday 730am-3pm however after June 4th I am available full time. Right now I can do drop in visits after 3pm on week days and any time on the weekends I rent a room in my friends house but I have a door to the backyard in my room so I have quick access to the yard for playtime or potty breaks. I have one senior dog who does not like to play with other dogs but will be respectful otherwise.
“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!”
“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lancaster
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $44.4 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 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 July 2026, there are 1,212 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.

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.
