About: I planned a dog adoption event with the Fairfield County Dog Adoption Center and Shelter for my senior project! I've been taking care of my own pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for two years. I have one dog named Banjo, as well as three cats. I foster kittens through the Fairfield Area Humane Society! I'm currently a college student with classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at OUL. I'm available every day of the week. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm only available after 2pm. I maintain the environment exactly as the owner prefers. I follow feeding and walking routines, supervise playtime, and make sure all safety measures are in place. I respect the home rules, keep everything tidy, and communicate regularly with the owner so they feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away. I love sending you pictures of your pets!!!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m a huge dog lover who has 3 dogs at home. I’m frequently helping out friends or family by stopping by and taking care of their animals when they can’t be around. I’m currently a college student in Lexington, so I will make sure to work around my class schedule when it comes to drop-ins or overnight stays! I’m very flexible and will always find time to make your pet care requests work! I make sure to keep the enviornment exactly as the owner prefers, and make sure to take all safety measures seriously. I make sure to keep everything in order and tidy while respecting house rules. I own 3 energetic dogs who play constantly and run around the yard, so I am definitely used to a little controlled chaos. I can easily take dogs on walks or crate them. I also make sure to check in with the owner and send in pictures of their pet!

About: My property has 1-acre of fenced space where your pup can run around until their heart’s content. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a dog with complex medical needs, you have found the right home. Having loved and cared for my own Akitas through major health challenges—including blindness—I am completely comfortable managing complex medication schedules, topical treatments, oral meds, and injections. As an experienced dog and puppy foster (who even once fostered a litter of nine puppies!), I understand canine body language and know how to support anxious or transitioning pets. Rest assured, your pup will be cared for and welcomed with open arms no matter their situation. Pet care is my full-time job right now. I am generally away from the home for no more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to be away for longer, I will ensure you are aware in advance. I have a fenced backyard and three dogs of my own who will keep your pup company. My own dogs are a senior male, fully blind American Akita, an adult female pug mix, and a male puppy pug mix (the adult female’s puppy). I ensure all dogs are kept separate during mealtime and, as needed, during playtime where dog toys may be involved. I have crates and playpens, extra dog dishes, and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for your pup to use as much or as little as they want. My own dogs love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and bed, and your pup is welcome to as well, as long as it’s okay with you. I’m happy to provide updates throughout your pup’s stay based on a frequency you’d prefer to ensure you feel comfortable with their time in my care.

“Isabelle was fantastic! Took the job last second when original plans fell through and left me in a bind while being out of town. Isabelle provided photos and status updates for each walk. Being a 1st time Rover user, I was nervous, but Isabelle made me feel like my dog was completely taken care of and helped ease my mind. Would 100% recommend her and I will rebook with her in the future when needed. THANK YOU AND GREAT JOB ISABELLE!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and dog owner my entire life. For the past 13 years, my sweet Riley was my constant companion and best friend. I lost her in November, and while I’m not quite ready for another pet of my own, I have plenty of love and attention to give to yours. My three adult children all have dogs, so I’m also a proud “grand-doggie” mom! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll care for your pets the way I would want someone to have cared for Riley—with love, patience, and lots of attention. They’re not just pets; they’re family. I am currently available anytime. I work from home with my own coaching business and on occasion I help my mom with her doctors appointments. I live on a walking path and enjoy walking every day. I have been a dog owner for over 35 years and very careful and aware of my surroundings.

About: I’ve taken care of little ones all the way to seniors. I am very comfortable in walks, grooming, preparing meals, house sitting, giving medication, park trips and house calls. Animals are my weakness, I absolutely adore them! I currently work part-time and I make my own schedule. I am very flexible and I can be where I’m needed with short notice. I am pretty open on weekends, as well. I will follow the guidelines you give me. I typically prefer a list of some sort, or instructions and I follow that exactly.

About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other animals since I was about 15 years old. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience working as a beginner-level dog groomer, which gave me even more hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I eventually left grooming to pursue my career as a CNA, but my love for animals has never gone away. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I would love the opportunity to treat your pets like they’re my own! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care\. I understand that every owner has different schedules and needs, and I’m willing to work around those schedules whenever possible\. My flexibility makes me a great fit because I can provide consistent, dependable care without rushing or leaving pets alone for long periods of time\. I’m happy to give each animal the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve while their owners are away\. want every pet and pet owner to feel comfortable and confident when choosing me for their pet’s care. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, so I treat every animal with patience, attention, and the same love and care I would want for my own.

Alex is a great dog walker. He sent pictures of our dog on the walks and reported on food and if the dog did his business. It was so nice to be able to go away for 24 hours and not have to put the dog in the kennel. We will definitely reach out to Alex in the future.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lancaster. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lancaster after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
