“Melanie was a life saver. I was on a trip for Christmas. The family friend of my husband was supposed to watch Isabel. We had not heard from her for 18 hrs. So I had a friend check on Isabel. But, she could only do it for 2 days and we were going to be gone for another day. On Dec 24th at the last minute, Melanie took my emergency visit for the 25th and at am amazing rate. Thank you so much for helping Isabel and our sanity. I will definitely be asking in the future and recommending you to everyone”
About: I’ve cared for critters including opossums, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, pigs, chickens & more! I have such a deep love for animals, which makes caring for them never feel like a job. Pets left in my care are in the best care possible. I am currently working part time, which makes it very easy to care for animals at the same time. I usually have 3 whole days off per week and my shifts are typically no longer than 6 hours. I typically do whatever makes the pet and the owner most comfortable, such as regular drop-in’s, overnight stays at the pets home, sleeping next to the pet. I keep up with any typical needs of the pet such as bathing, walking, etc. and I also like to keep the owner updated and send photos.
About: I am an animal lover, who has had animals my whole life! I have had a whole range of animals; from cats and dogs, to hamsters and bunnies, and chickens and cows. I provide loving, attentive care to all animals! I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to be home and be available to care for your pets. August and September are pretty open for us! I have a good sized fenced backyard, a safe, flat neighborhood to be able to go for walks. I also have an upstairs/downstairs setup, with gates to allow for separation and/or space when animals need. I have a doggie door that allows for pups to come and go, so they can get fresh air and go potty when they would like; we also have an insert so if we need to close the doggie door, we can do so.n
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.
About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.
About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs from the day I was born. My family bread boxers and I would always be the first one to take care of the puppies and mommas. I’ve dog sat for family friends who had both puppies and older dogs. I’m not afraid to give medication if needed. I currently have a dachshund who is 8 months old. I’m looking for a flexible job for the next few months that I can also continue into my new job. I love all things pets and this is perfect for what I’m looking for I currently don’t provide pets to stay at my home but maybe down the road I can provide that as well. We have a large house with lots of space to run and two other dogs they can play with. We are a dog loving family and are always looking for dogs to love on.
About: I provide reliable, in-home pet care focused on consistency, safety, and following each pet’s established routine. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments, including rescues, seniors, and high-maintenance pets. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and environmental safety, and I adjust my approach based on the individual animal rather than using a one-size-fits-all style. I’m comfortable administering medications, adhering to strict care instructions, and maintaining routines so pets feel secure while their owners are away. Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule intentionally to allow for dependable drop-ins, walks, and in-home visits, with flexibility to accommodate regular check-ins, travel schedules, and repeat clients. I provide care exclusively in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and communicate clearly with owners to ensure trust and consistency.
“Mia was on time, followed instructions and cats immediately greeted her upon their first meet and greet who was a👍from the cats and important to me.She also graciously offered to water hanging plants which I greatly appreciated. No complaints would hire her again. Thank you Mia love❤️ from Bentley and Simba 🐯🐈⬛”
About: I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, and gentle approach they require. As both a veterinary professional and the owner of an anxious dog, I am skilled at building trust to help nervous pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Senior dogs are another area where I have significant experience! I understand the importance of maintaining medication schedules and am comfortable administering a variety of medications. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with unique medical and behavioral needs. Whether your dog is anxious, highly energetic, affectionate, independent, or a little bit stubborn, I want to providing care that meets their individual needs while ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. Thursday through Sunday, I have full availability and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I also send regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Monday through Wednesday, I work 12-hour shifts. During those days, I am available for overnight stays and can complete potty breaks and daily care before work (around 6:00 AM), during my lunch break (approximately 12:00–1:00 PM), and after work (around 8:00 PM). water is always available and refreshed regularly. I am highly accustomed to following structured feeding and medication schedules. You can trust that your pet's meals and medications will be given on time following your instructions! I enjoy providing plenty of affection and attention to pets who seek it. Whether your dog loves to be out playing fetch or prefers a little more relaxing, I adjust my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Communication is a priority for me. I typically provide photo and text updates every 1–2 hours so you can stay updated on your pet while you're away. If you prefer fewer updates, I am happy to accommodate your preferences.
“Julia came on time, communicated, and made sure she followed the instructions I gave her for my lady. My dog Panchita is slow and Julia made sure to meet her before her care for a better experience!”
“Tyler did an awesome job caring for my cat. He sent a couple pictures and a little blurb summarizing the visit every time and he was always quick to respond to any messages I sent. He also left a kind message on my whiteboard welcoming me back to my home which was lovely after a full day of travel! Thanks Tyler!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! Communicated well and we felt comfortable leaving our cats with a sitter for the first time. Highly recommend her for any future pet care needs!”
“Heidi was so wonderful and I will definitely be using her in the future! She communicated with me daily and sent pictures I really looked forward to getting her updates daily. I would definitely give Heidi referrals! ?”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
We booked Karina to watch our cats during a ~2wk trip. She took such good care of them even though they hid under our lounger most of the time 🤭 She made sure they had all their favorite things and you can tell they were happy to be playing because their favorite toys were all used while we were gone! We came home to two happy kitties and couldn’t be happier about the peace of mind that came from Karina’s great care and daily updates!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 657 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
