My two Bichons Cisco and Stunner love Cristi. They were well cared for while in Cristi’s care and her home is set up for dogs. We rebooked and feel so blessed to have found her on Rover. Cristi sent pictures every day to keep us smiling.

Dana, has done a outstanding job with my Duke boy! He is a stubborn at times, but Dana did just what I told to do. Awesome job I couldn’t be more happier with her. Thank you Sherry

I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Henry, he was very happy under Angie’s care. Angie kept me updated with how Henry was doing, sent pictures of him every day he was with her, and even sent a few videos showing how Henry was playing and getting along with everyone. I will recommend Angie to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog, she’ll take care of them like they were her own.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I currently have a puppy! I used work as a vet tech full time and am comfortable giving medication. I can watch dog friendly pets in my home. My dog is very dog friendly. When I leave I can separate them if need be. It is only my boyfriend and I at home with our puppy so we have a pretty quiet house. I do not have a physical fenced in yard but am very used to walking the neighborhood with my puppy!I will still make sure they get exercise!

From the moment we met her and she welcomed us into her home, we knew she would be a perfect fit for us and our Molly. She brings your pet into her life and her family and takes care of them. You couldn’t ask for anything more. She sent pictures and kept in contact. I already asked to book her again!! It was huge relief and we are grateful for her!

About: We are the biggest dog lovers and own four dogs ourselves-a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Vizsla, and two Miniature Schnauzers—so we have plenty of experience with dogs big and small. We have been pet-sitting for friends and family for years and work from home so your pup will have round-the-clock company. Our house has a fully fenced backyard with a magnetic screen door so they will have access to the outside whenever they want. Our dogs also love to play with other dogs, and are very friendly and chill. We have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, so if your pet has medication needs, we can make sure your pup stays on schedule with whatever they need. I think you will quickly find that your dog becomes part of our family and we treat them as our own, and your pup will view their stay with us as a relaxing vacation and want to return again and again. One of us is always working from home, so there will never be a time when your pet is alone. We tend to be homebodies, and will schedule social events around the care of your pet. We have a fully fenced backyard and generally leave the backdoor open during the day so that the dogs can go in/out at their own leisure. We live in a quiet neighborhood so if your dog prefers to be walked, the neighborhood is self-contained, off the main road and fully sidewalked. Your dog will have full run of the house, and is even permitted to be on furniture! We also have a variety of dog beds and crates for whatever style your dog prefers to sleep or relax. And if your dog likes to sleep in bed—well I guess we can oblige :) We also live approximately 5 minutes from a dog park, so your pup can also go on a fun field trip while in our care (or if you prefer for them to stay at our house only, that's fine as well). We are also less than a mile from MedVet, so in case of any emergency, we can ensure your pet's medical needs are taken care of quickly.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME SITTER!! I can tell my needy pup was taken care of for the 8 days we were away. I can tell Madison and her sister were playing ball with him because he hasn't missed a throw since we got home. Madison kept my wife and I in the loop our entire vacation with pics of our pup. It definitely helped my kids relax seeing he was safe.

Madison was absolutely great with my dogs. She was super attentive, communicative, and incredibly helpful, especially with my last-minute request. She really went above and beyond, and my dogs absolutely loved her. She made the whole process easy and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pets!

FAQs for Boarding - Lancaster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lancaster on Rover is $30 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 538 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

92% of Lancaster sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lancaster landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lancaster home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lancaster.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Lancaster sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
