“We were more than satisfied with our choice of Tiffany for watching our cat Lucky for 3 weeks. We were concerned that Lucky might not accept Tiffany once he realized we were gone. That fear was short lived when she shared a photo of him sleeping on her lap the first day. Lucky is a high maintenance cat because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, so more work for Tiffany was required. We are so glad that she was available for that time slot and agreed to stay in our home. We highly recommend Tiffany.”
“Marti is fantastic! We had a meet and greet couple of weeks ago. That sealed the deal for me. She had a calming effect on my 16 month old Maltipoo. Missy snuggled up to Marti and trusted her. Marti offered to drive me and pick me up from my eye doctor appointment . It worked out great. Missy was such a good girl riding in Marti’s car. Very pleasant, stress free experience for us. Marti is a kind, smart lady. Her past experience is evident. She will watch Missy again in December at my house for a weekend. So happy to have found Marti.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood, from growing up with 2-3 dogs at home to now caring for 11 pets of my own (exotics, two cats, and a dog!). For the past 6 years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, giving their pets the same love and attention I give my own. I'd be honored to help watch your pup and become their new favorite bestie! I work full-time, so I fit pet care in around my job, mornings before work, evenings after, and I'm flexible on weekends for boarding or longer visits. I check in throughout the day and always make time for walks, playtime, and cuddles, no matter how busy things get. When visiting your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secured, and stick to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe with me.
“Kaitlyn is fantastic! She did an amazing job with our 2 large pups while we were out of town, including our older guy who moves a little slower these days. She is very responsive and provides plenty of updates. It is also very apparent how much she loves dogs and will treat yours like one of her own! I know my dogs will be excited to see her again when we book her in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alyssa. She took excellent care of my dog and home, providing daily updates and photos. My pup seemed so happy and well-cared for when I returned! Very Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life. I currently help my parents with their two dogs and have pet sat for many family friends throughout the years. Currently between jobs and have open availability. That is subject to change when I find a new job. If you have any questions feel free to reach out ☺️ I will play with, walk, and care for your pets and home as if they were my own. I am also capable of giving prescription medications to your pet if necessary for their day to day.
About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.
“Haley was fantastic! She read/followed all of my instructions and was very open with me about other responsibilities. My very spoiled senior seems to have loved her as well. We will definitely recommend Haley and be asking her to watch Sophie again.”
“Caitlin was great! She communicated often and sent lots of pictures. She did the dishes without us even asking her to. Our dog seemed very happy and we will definitely book again!”
“Looking for someone to care for my dog overnight in my home, I found Autumn. Her response time was amazing from the meet and greet to the booking and to ALL MY communications with her (and I had a lot) she was wonderful. Very reassuring. She did a great job! Will not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you for giving that piece of mind. Pat H”
“We are so happy we found Kendra. She has watched our 3 dogs, including one who needs some extra attention several times and has taken such great care of them. She sends lots of pictures and updates so you know they are ok. I would highly recommend her to any of our friends and family. Hopefully she will consider sitting for us again in the future.”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of owning many different kinds of dogs and a few cats, and caring for animals has always been something I enjoy. I also work at Pet Supplies Plus, which gives me an opportunity to be around pets and learn more about their needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to older pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I believe in treating every pet with the same love, kindness, and respect I would give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or simply some extra company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐾❤️ My schedule offers some flexibility throughout the week, and I’m usually available on Thursdays. I typically work Mondays and Saturdays, but I’m available for pet care after my shifts. I’m also available after 7:30 p.m. on evenings when my wife takes over with our daughter. Since my availability can vary depending on my work schedule and family commitments, I communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure we find a time that works for everyone. I want to provide dependable, loving care while making sure every pet gets the attention and time they deserve. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my priorities. As someone who has owned different kinds of dogs and cats and works at Pet Supplies Plus, I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions provided by their owners. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and a safe space to relax. I’m also happy to provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashes, and keeping a close eye on your pet and their surroundings. I’m comfortable caring for animals of different ages and understand that puppies, adult pets, and seniors can all have different needs. I believe trust is earned through patience, responsibility, and good communication. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own, because every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable!
“This was the first time we left the cats alone for a few days and we were so lucky to have Madeline as our sitter. She kept us updated on them and followed our particular instructions when it came to the care of our cats. Not only that, but she brought in packages that were delivered to our house during that time. Overall we were extremely happy with her and will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
When you have old animals, you know that things can go bad unexpectedly, and you want to make sure your sitter can handle it. That is why we always go with Samara. Her background and seriousness are what attracted us to her in the first place and her behavior and follow-up during the sittings are what get us to come back to her time and time again.
Monica and Matilda were absolutely wonderful. They went beyond to ensure my dog, Asher and cat Cappuccino were well taken care of and sent me regular photos of both to keep me informed. The house was also clean and picked up so nicely. I’m so thankful to have had them stay at our home to house/pet sit!
Our cat seems to love Jenna, and she takes 3 masterful pictures of him every time she comes by. She arrives punctually, all the chores get done, and the house has been in order the last few times we hired her. She has been our go to sitter since we found her. We would highly recommend!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
