“I’m a travel nurse so I work really long hours. Katie came and sat with my girl a little bit each day I was at work and went above and beyond to take care of my girl!! If I’m ever in her area again I will so be using her again to take care of Willow. She truly loved my dog and my dog loved her. At one point I flew home and my sitter called was I landed and unable to care for Willow. Katie stepped up and made a very stressful situation bearable!! She is amazing and I 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”
“Zachary was great! He helped us out at the last minute and provided wonderful care to our big dog! Zachary was very attentive, he fed and walked Mischka and made sure he got his medication. He sent many pictures so that we knew that Mischka was doing well.”

I have a nice big yard for yours pets to enjoy and I have lived with dogs my whole life so my house is definitely fit for a dog!
“Riven was excellent. She was always on time for the scheduled visits, spent time with the dogs, and was very communicative about how they were doing. Our dogs seemed very happy. I would highly recommend Riven”
About: I grew up around cats and dogs all my life; I don't own any myself but I have lots of experience with short-term pet care. This is my first time providing services on Rover, please let me know any questions. I am currently funemployed, and I am available for walks and care with flexibility - I will work with you to arrange a schedule that aligns with everyone. (I'm still figuring this out). In a pet-owner's home, respect and consideration are first and foremost. If I provide service at your home, the only way you should know I was ever there is that your pet(s) haven't made any "messes" anywhere they shouldn't have.
“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of Joe. I came home to a very well groomed, happy, and healthy kitty. Katherine also did a wonderful job communicating, keeping things clean, and very clearly adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.”
“Our pup ADORES Ann Marie and I always know she is going to be in great hands. Thank you for the thorough updates throughout the visit and for beings such a great friend to her!!”
“Sara was amazing with my cat Sophie. This was my first time using a pet service and I was nervous about the prospect until I met Sara and immediately felt at ease. The whole experience for me and my cat went very smoothly and I have already booked Sara for another time in a few weeks. Thank you Rover and of course Sara.”
“I felt very fortunate that Chelsea was available to take care of my cat Ivan during my trip to Greece. This was my second booking and I had absolutely no worries. Chelsea clearly loves taking care of pets and they love her right back!”
“Brittany did a terrific job of caring for Chance. She was diligent about giving him his meds, and spraying a hot spot he had each day. She noticed when he took some skin off his nose, and tried her best to keep his ecollar on when Chance was doing all he could to take it off. Thanks to her his hot spot is almost gone and he’s healthy and happy. She’s the best.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $32.1 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,519 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
