“Kimberly and Dorman were absolutely awesome! They delt with issues with our hotel room keys like champs, and with a smile. They were super sweet with our baby and took great care of her.”
“Always the best caregiver for my boys! Plus, she’s willing to do stuff like bringing in the boxes that I didn’t realize we’re gonna be delivered last night and today… So much fun these things come to me when I don’t plan for them!”
“Chloe was outstanding and very sweet. The pictures from each visit were nice to see our two boys (dogs) warm up to her and likely get excited for her visits. Strong communication and frequent updates helped us relax on vacation knowing they were being taken care of. Highest possible recommendation! Thank you Chloe!!”
About: I have been helping out family, friends and neighbors for years. Whether the animals come to my place or I go to theirs. My sister and I had 2 Yorkie mixes that were 15 and 17 years old with special diets/needs. So following food plans/exercises is important to me. I’ve cared for dogs that have ranged all sizes (German shepherd, wheaten terrier, Yorkie mixed, bully mix, and a few more) and ages. I have a full time job and I’m looking for something parttime. I work Monday through Friday from 6a-230p so I would be able to assist anytime after I get off. I would be available anytime on the weekends. I do live with my older sister, her name is Courtney. She would be helping me out some days (I have a picture of her in my profile). We do have a fenced in yard, which during the spring/summer time we will keep the back door open to allow the dogs to go out as much as they would like. The surrounding dogs in our suburb area are friendly but I always still treat it with caution. Dogs are allowed on the couch/bed (if this is something you are okay with).
“Cara was fantastic with my girls and they absolutely loved her. Cara went above and beyond to ensure her services were of perfection. Not only did she take care of my girls, she also took care of my house which is a huge peace of mind. I messed up the booking by several days, l actually needed it the day l sent it. Cara looked passed my mistake and responded minutes later. That to me is priceless.”
About: I’ve provided care for dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. Trusted by neighbors, friends & family to love their pets like my own!

Knowing that pets are like family, I will care for your pets like they are one of my own. Also very attentive to detail & like to keep things tidy.
“Mackenzie was AMAZING! She was on time, respectful, and very communicative! She went above and beyond when taking care of my animals and I highly recommend her! I hope to be using her services again! Thanks Mackenzie!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience taking care of my family’s animals, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re part of the family! I work full-time in healthcare three days a week, giving me a flexible schedule to provide consistent, loving, and reliable pet care on my days off. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust by keeping pets supervised, following their routines, and treating every home with care and respect. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and comfortable.

With years of experience handling active, energetic breeds like Aussies, I provide a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for your dog, ensuring they feel right at home.

I work a 5 days a week 7-330 but am available early mornings, evenings and weekends. Let me take the leash, so you can take a break—your dog will thank you I work full time M-F 7-4 so I can do nightly drop ins or walks on weekdays but full sitting or any type of check ins/walks in the weekends.

About: I’ve been around animals longer than I can remember. Previously a full time developmental puppy trainer and growing up with dogs, cats and farm animals, I now have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. I have a passion for what I do and take great pride in giving amazing care to your pets. I have experience with all ages, all sizes and all breeds. Medication? No problem! I have experience with diabetic pets, therefore I am able to give injections or oral medications if needed! Previously a full time developmental puppy trainer, I have taken on a more independent role. I am available full time and I am very adventurous on my free time and love going hiking with my pup. I would love to allow your pet to join along in the fun! Whether you need a daily walk, weekly care, or going out of town, I can make sure your furry family members are loved and cared for. I make sure to build trust and a bond with the pets and safety is my biggest priority! When walking dogs, must be provided with leash and collar/harness or fenced in yard.
About: I have watched and taken care of dogs since I was 16! From Dobermans to Shih Tzu’s! I have roughly 10 years so experience. Neighbors, friends, family have all trusted me with their fur babies. I love all animals and have even taken care of chickens, and other various farm animals! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! Right now on the days I do work (just three days a week) it’s typically from 3:30-9 or 5-10. I plan on doing drop in visits and walks since I have a little family of my own! Your pup and I can play as long as needed for drop in visits and go on however long of a walk they normally go on! I can easily and tentatively follow care instructions and if they need to be crated or anything of the sort!
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!
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.
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.
“Isabella was wonderful with my dog, Louie! She watched him for an hour each day over two days and made sure he got a nice walk and plenty of love. She was very sweet, attentive, and really helped keep him calm and happy while we were away. We felt very comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Mackenzie was wonderful. Great communication and we loved the daily updates. Gave us great comfort knowing Birdie & Sam had Mackenzie checking in on them every day. Sam requires medication and Mackenzie was able to ensure he got it exactly as needed and when he needed. The kitties were well cared for and happy. We’d absolutely have Mackenzie care for our fur babies again and recommend her care for others.
Chole is fantastic! First time ever using a dog sitter for my two bernedoodles and she did amazing. My youngest is a bit shy and timid, she has experience with shy animals and handled her great! I couldn’t recommend her enough, I was gone for two weeks and felt such relief and trust in having her watch my girls. I fully recommend
Charity was wonderful at communication while we were away and our cats weren’t as shy with her as they usually are! She was thorough with her notes and listened to instructions well. We appreciated her caring for our girls while we were away and would recommend her.
This was my second time having Nicole as a sitter. My cats now look forward to seeing her which I love, and obviously is a sign she takes good care of them during the drop in visits. She always takes lots of pictures and let me know if there’s anything I should be aware of. She even got my maintenance team to replace the batteries in my smoke detector because she was worried about the noise being stressful for my cats. Truly a great sitter!

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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
