About: Hi, I’m Kenzie! Dog walking is my way of scratching the “I want a dog” itch without adopting another pet. 😅 I’ve had dogs my whole life and miss the walks, adventures, and companionship they bring. These days I’m a cat mom to two spoiled cats, so I get my dog fix by helping other pet parents. Whether your pup wants a long walk, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and affection. Reliable, patient, and communicative, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—and you’ll get lots of updates and photos along the way. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility for pet care throughout the week. My schedule varies, but mornings are typically my most available time. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make it work! As a mom, pet owner, and counselor, I’m naturally attentive and dependable. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated every step of the way so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sheryl is the absolute best! She takes such good care of our guys when we are away. It makes our whole trip that much better knowing they are in such good hands while we are away. Thank you again.”
“Maddy looked after my cat while I was traveling. She was extremely flexible since one of the drop-ins she did was on a holiday. She is a great listener and made sure my directions were followed. I HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Felicia was great! She left is very detailed notes and kept us up to date on our cats. She definitely spent ample time with them and took great care of our diabetic cat as well.”
About: Hi! My (preferred) name is Daisy & I've been taking care of dogs ever since we adopted my very first canine best friend in 2011! Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and I've been handling & working with dogs almost every day for almost two years as a doggy daycare attendant, kennel staff, special pup advisor, and group coordinator. I love taking them on walks and practicing sits, stays, downs, give paws, etc... I absolutely love all animals and promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own! I currently work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to check in on & spend with your pets! I'm available Saturdays before 12pm, Sundays all day, & most holidays before 3pm. Weekday hours vary and I will always be super transparent about my availability! Your pets' safety is important to me so please feel free to leave detailed instructions and I will follow them to a T. I will also keep consistent contact with you, providing (p)updates with photos! I can crate your dog(s) if needed as well. I'm also Red Cross animal first aid certified. I've handled several scuffles and am able to remain calm in any situation that may arise. Your pet will always be safe with me!
“This was our first experience leaving our three pups with a sitter while going on vacation. From our first meet and greet we knew Jessica would be a great fit for our crew. While we missed them while we were gone, we had no worries that they were being well cared for. Jessica sent messages to let us know how each visit went as well as a few photos from the visit. She did notify of some small issues (skin irritations,etc) and gave updates as needed. Jessica treated our pups as if they were her own and they loved her in return. She was also very respectful of our house and did extra little things that were greatly appreciated (rolling trash can up to garage and bringing in mail). We will be booking Jessica again to take care of our dogs in the future!”
About: I’m Mindy and I am a stay at home mom. I have two school aged children and a small dog, Mazie. We adopted her from the animal shelter and she is a therapy dog for the Paws for Love program. I have extra time on my hands and would love to care for your pet! I enjoy being outside and active and love taking my dog for walks and bike rides! I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs, of course! Mazie is an easy going dog and very friendly and loving. She gets along with other pets as well. I do prefer crate trained dogs at nighttime. Since that’s where Mazie sleeps up in our room. Please feel free to ask questions and I would love to meet your dog and help in any way!
“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”
“Sam is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very caring, reliable and compassionate. Sam goes above and beyond to make sure everyone gets the care, love and playtime they need. I love receiving updates and photo's whenever she cares for my pets. This gives me a great feeling of security to know my pets are being taken care of while I'm away. I am grateful for the genuine care and concern shown by Sam, you can tell she's passionate and truly loves animals. I highly recommend Sam with no reservations to anyone in need of assistance with their pets.”

Erin was fabulous! She was communicative and kept us updated on our boys while we were away! She really made the extra effort to interact with our fur babies and make them feel comfortable with her! 1000% would I absolutely recommend Erin! Thank you Erin for taking care of these two and giving us some peace of mind on our vacation 🩷🐈⬛
Jonathan was awesome with my dog Thor. Absolutely loved every picture he sent on all drop in visits with him while I was away for a weekend, Thor was always super excited to see him and it was like he had been taking care of him for years based on his reaction. Highly recommend
Alexis came for a meet and greet in advance. She impressed us as professional, sweet to our two Westies, and committed to gathering information that would aid her in caring for them. She made us feel so confident in having her do two drop in visits and that helped us have a great time while we were away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $21.09 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 1,018 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
