About: I used to have a German Shepard when I was younger and now have a Wheaton terrier! I also have two cats and have helped pet sit my cousins and family friends pets while they were away for years! I love my pets and I can't wait to love and care for your pets in my home or yours! I am away at college right now but when I ma home for breaks, I take care of my family dog and two cats, help my sisters by watching their dog or cat and help family friends by stopping by their house to check on and play with pets! It is something that I love to do and have always made time for. My family has also had people watch pets within in our which is always more convenient for both you and your pets! I have a large yard, and a fenced in pool area with plants and grass and shade. We have a "mud room" with a gate that can easily stay open or closed. This can be accessed though the house and is connected to a room where my family and I spend a lot of time. It also has a door leading outside, and a door leading the the garage. From the garage we have a another small fenced in area with a dog door!

About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old. I really started to get involved with pet care when I was a preteen. I have done pet sitting with my friends as well. I am going to college to study veterinary technology and am looking to get more hands on experience with dogs and cats! :) I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your pets during the week! Monday-Friday I am available before 1:00pm and after 10:00pm. Saturdays I am free all day. Sundays I am available before 11:00am and after 8:00pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I can crate the dogs if needed. I have leashes and harnesses in my home. Everything in my home is pet proofed.

About: I work as a part time veterinary technician, very confident in giving medications. Will stay at your home with your pets to help them be as comfortable as possible and stay on routine while their owners are away. Love taking them for walks and hikes and make sure we have plenty of play time together! I would love to meet your fur-babies and help you be able to relax and enjoy your time away. I send updates and pictures so owners know their babies are enjoying their time too! I currently work part time as a veterinary technician, my shifts are between 5-7 hours Monday through Friday. Can do potty breaks during the longer shifts if needed. I stay in your house with your pets so they are comfortable in their own environment and follow their regular routine as much as possible. Plenty of time for exercise and play!

Chelsea was so awesome! We were so happy she was able to fit us in on a busy holiday weekend. She was very communicative and kept us updated about how everything went during her visit. It was clear the cats loved her after seeing the photos she sent; even our very timid cat who hides from other people. We could tell she takes the job seriously and is experienced with pets. Will definitely be booking her again!

We had Patti stop in for two visits with our anxious dogs and it went wonderfully. She sent us pictures and a very detailed summary of how the dogs were doing. She communicated to us any questions she had and was easy to reach as well. We look forward to booking you in the future, thanks Patti!

About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.

Eric was fantastic to work with. He was professional, personable, and prompt in providing pictures and videos after he visited Opal. He made us feel comfortable, and built a relationship with our pet. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and considerate sitter on Rover.

I had to book a last minute request and Colin, as usual, was a rockstar with coming through for my girls. They put forth extraordinary effort to make sure my Madeline didn't steal her sister's food and, I have to say, Colin impresses me. Every. Time. (Especially when I can't figure out the technology and it takes me forever to sing their praises.) I'm looking forward to the day Khloe decides that Colin is among the best of people - Madeline and I already know that.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. I currently have a 12-year-old Japanese Akita, a 13-year-old German Shepherd, and a young Highlander cat, giving me hands-on experience with both senior pets and energetic younger animals. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, recognizing health concerns, maintaining routines, administering basic care, and adjusting exercise levels based on age and mobility. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, including large dogs, and I understand the importance of safe handling, positive interactions, and consistent care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during every visit so you can have complete peace of mind. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I care for my 12-year-old Japanese Akita, senior German Shepherd, and young Highlander cat every day, including feeding, walks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and monitoring their health and well-being. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I can easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care services into my weekly schedule while providing reliable and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and are kept safe at all times. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during visits to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have over 9 years of hands-on animal care experience. Growing up around animals has made caring for them second nature to me, and I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I also have my own 109 lb Rottweiler, so I’m very confident handling large, strong breeds and understand the importance of structure, safety, and control on walks. In addition to my personal experience, I have a background working with horses, where I learned how to read body language, handle animals safely, and build trust especially with more sensitive or high-energy animals. I’m primarily available in the afternoons and evenings, which is perfect for midday walks, check-ins, and dinner visits. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Currently I am working with rover and working some small other jobs so I am more available if my schedule ever changes I will reach out and let you know immediately. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk routines to any behavioral or medical needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I stay aware of surroundings during walks to keep your pet safe at all times. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their space and letting them engage on their terms. I maintain clean litter areas, monitor behavior, and ensure they feel safe and undisturbed. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

Blaise did an awesome job with my dogs while I was out of town. They warmed up to him quickly, and he made sure they were taken care of which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely hire again :)

This was our first time using Rover and we are so lucky that we had Joy as our first sitter! She was very responsive and made us feel like we left our dog in great hands. Thank you Joy for taking care of Stella while we were away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,055 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lancaster stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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 .

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lancaster with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lancaster. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
